Room was good, nice common spaces.

Price is relatively expensive for what you get. No breakfast in price, no toiletries in bathroom (even no shower gel!), no hotel service employees at all, rather messy and long reception in restaurant. Restaurant pricelist at least 30%-50% more expensive than in other Madeira places or Porto center (soup above 5- 6 euro, while in other places under 3 euro, main courses above 20 eiro). We regretted going to this place in forests, could have prolonged other much nicer hotel for cheaper price, luckily it was only 1 night stay.

Beautiful location in the mountains. Stayed there while hiking Madeira from east to west. Spacious and immaculate clean room, big and comfortable bed, good shower, shared kitchen in perfect comdition, nice and clean shared lounge/living room, you check in at the restaurant right next to the rooms, the hosts are absolutely lovely, and I can recommend dinner and breakfast at their restaurant, they close at 7 actually, but some people arrived later and got dinner from the menu, too. So the hosts are an absolute delight.

The place looks way better than the photos. The rooms are new, well-decorated and clean. The bathroom is spacious. Quite well equipped shared kitchen but remember to bring your food for dinner/breakfast as there are no grocery stores around. The restaurant next door (where you pick up the keys too) closes at 7pm. Once all the tourists are gone you have the entire area for yourself and it's pretty charming. Dinner and breakfast on the outside patio with the view of the valley and the low clouds was pretty cool. The location is perfect if you want to do some Levada hikes in the area or if you want to be nice and early at Pico do Areiro to enjoy the sunrise and start the hike to Pico Ruivo.

Spacious rooms in a modern house. Shared use of a fully-equipped modern kitchen and attractive lounge area. Meals available at adjacent restaurant. The main reason to stay here is the location, high up in the hills. THe weather is temperamental so, if you stay over you have opportunities to visit the neighbouring viewpoint evening and morning, so more likely to avoid the cloud. Little honey cake in the room for a treat.

The advertised 'mountain view' was a limited glimpse of a scrubby hillside rising steeply behind the building. The adjacent restaurant is pretty good but kitchen closes at 7 ( and the only other option to eat up there closed at 6), leaving a long evening with nothing much to do but watch bad Hollywood films. Breakfast options (not included in room) at the restaurant are pretty limited

Ok so we went in February and the weather was.... interesting ... but the hosts and the restaurant were spot on! We had the top apartment (number 5) which meant we had cooking facilities in the room and I was VERY grateful having picked up a virus on the plane. The view was... foggy beyond expectation but if you are going to the mountains and some great walks, it's just spot on! I will return but perhaps not in February. The host and his team were utterly rushed off their feet when we arrived at 2.30 but the food and apartment were great. If you book, I'd go for the one that has the private facilities (I think we may have been upgraded due to us being there for 4 days). On reflection, I'd do that...

All the great walks and mountains would be spot on... perhaps on a clearer month. Not the fault of the place though as they were superb in looking out for us.

This accommodation was perfectly situated in the interior of Madeira and had so many incredible sights within minutes of it. We were at Pico De Arieiro in about 19 minutes, drove 10 minutes down the road for the best best dinner on Madeira at Abrigo do Poiso (the Ribeiro Frio restaurant on site was a very close second), walked 5 minutes down the road to the best levada walk on the island, walked 7 minutes down a trail next to the property to the Balcoe Overlook, stumbled on to an incredible area to camp just miles down the road at a stunning meadow filled with sheep and enjoyed the very comfortable bed inside the rental.

The shower was draining just a little too slowly and water backed up in the pan of the floor

Love this place. Everything was perfect. We were in the separate room with own entrance. At first we didn't like that it's without a mountain view but we always came back at night so this was really not a problem. There is a heating in the room! Bed is comfortable, bathroom clean. WiFi is strong, parking available for free. The kitchen is huge and equipped. The owner speaks English and is very nice person.

As there is not a shop nearby I would appreciate to have some basic food available (sugar, salt, tea, oil...)

The room was better than on the photos! Very clean, warm and spacious with seperate entrance. Bathroom was big with all facilities, hair dryer, towels. We received also bottle od water, there was a kettle, glasses, opener for wine, all you need :) Few metres from the apartments there is a restaurant managed by the owners- tomato and onion soup was perfect and passion fruit poncha- the best we tried on Madeira, really! It is also perfect spot to go on a trial or to see a sunrise on Pico Arieiro. We enjoyed our stay and regreted to book only one night because the price was also very attractive. You can also park your car freely there.

Wonderful new place to stay close to Pico Arieiro. Well equipped kitchen with a coffee machine, spacious rooms with a heated bathroom. Nice restaurant is just next to the building where you can enjoy some delicious food. We loved everything and really recommend this place to other travellers.

Room and facilities all finished to an exceptionally high standard. Very peaceful in the evening but cockerels remove the need for an alarm clock ⏰. Sitting area and kitchen allow self catering option but restaurant next door does a fabulous steak 😀. Friendly staff and great place to access nearby Levada and viewpoint.
