"Love this hotel! We stay at this hotel 3-4 times per season. The staff is amazing & go out of their way to assist you. Included breakfast has something to satisfy everyone with once again, great service staff. The hotel & restaurant are right ON the beach.Nothing like watching the sunrise while having breakfast. The hotel has an old world Madeira feel to it & you will never forget it. It is within walking distance to shopping & restaurants. The bike/motorcycle etc. rental shop is just up the hill. Note to bikers, they are redoing all the sewer lines heading up to Calheta beach & roads are terrible & dangerous. Bike path is even worse, nothing but terrible bumps & holes. Took quite a fall as result of the very bad pavement. But the restaurant overlooking the beach at Calheta is magnificent, so take a taxi, bus or just walk. The room was clean and no carpet, thank goodness. There is English language television which is nice. The patio outside our room was spacious with table & chairs to enjoy. Once again, notice the old world Madeira in the lounge furniture in the lobby areas, these are all handmade and spectacular. Can't wait to go again!"
