Amazing breakfast with the breathtaking view. The room is nice with a balcony. Towels were changed every day during cleaning. The pool and jacuzzi are free. The sauna is acceptable for a small charge (5 euro). Also I mentioned that Icome for my bday and a bottle of champagne was waiting me in the room, it was super nice! The staff are incredible kind and profeccional!

The location is perfect in an idyllic little town, and the host is extremely friendly, with a lovely café just downstairs. We were able to leave our luggage before check-in, were warmly welcomed with an espresso, and he gave us great recommendations for our hike. Honestly, the host alone deserves 10 stars! (His tour tip was the Pico Grande round trip – about 1,300m elevation gain and 19–20 km, but absolutely worth it!) Everything was just wonderful – the facilities and cleanliness of the accommodation left nothing to be desired. We can only recommend it! Thanks for everything!

I've been to Madeira many times, but I don't think I've ever been as happy with the accommodation as I was this time. The house is behind the Curral das Freiras (counting from Funchal), not many tourists come there. I came to do a bit of hiking in the mountains because of many marked trails in the area, and to rest after the hike. Peace and quiet are the things I'm looking for - and I've found them there. A great place in every way. The area is very peaceful and quiet. There is little car traffic, mainly direct public transport buses to Funchal (the access road is of good quality). Stable and fast internet access. I had the entire first floor of the house at my disposal - a very large living room with a wide sofa and two beds, a well equipped kitchen corner, and a bathroom. Also a long balcony terrace with table and chairs, facing south, very sunny. The bed was very comfortable. Very clean everywhere. Good value for money. The owners are very nice and helpful with problems. You can count on help in difficult situations (unfortunately, such a difficult situation happened to me, for which I apologize and thank them for help). There is a good restaurant 7 minutes up the hill (in Faja Escura).

Everything was elegant and top quality, so much attention to detail that made our stay feel so luxurious. We had a suite with garden access, with a large veranda area. The whole suite was very spacious and very comfortable. Service and support was top notch! Breakfast views from the Avista restaurant are stunning. The food was excellent, and we would highly recommend having lunch and dinner there if time allows. We had access to the facilities of the Cliff Bay hotel next door, wish we had more time to make full use of everything on offer!

Nice for hiking especially the short levada " poiso " way back in the valley ( Faja dos Cardos ) + Terra cha , renember to walk from downstairs to up , that is steep + the road up to Miradouro, ( paved road is situated on your right side , 100 metres from the tunnel entrance on the road to the hotel Eira. Negative : too many restaurant will deny you a " ticket / fatura " receipt. They avoid paying tax, you pay the tax and it goes direct down in the restaurants owners pocket. Shops : The souvenier shop next to Ladeira da igreja too will not give you any recepit so you don't have any guarantee. Avoid this kind.

Curral das ferreiras is very quiet, peacefully and tourist friendly.Ideally if you want the quiet after a day from touring the Island . Definitely you need a car to travel to other places in the Island . We stayed there 3 nights of our holiday that was perfect.

The apartman is very well situated in the middle of village named Curral das Freiras. The whole building is after full reconstruction and therefore the apartman is equiped with the latest modern style furniture and electric devices. We lived on the second floor. I would recommend this apartman for families with enthusiast hikers because it's reallly great starting point. Mrs. Isabel is very polite and she helped me with all my quires. Thank you!

A huge house just for us. A very nice and comfortable patio with shadow and sun and a plum tree (delicious fruits). Usually, it's a good location for hikes (in September 2024, three of four hiking routes were closed). But the bus 81 takes only 45 minutes to Funchal and from there a lot of activities can be done. Curral das Freiras has a supermarket and a few very nice restaurants and a bakery (open from the early morning till 10 pm).

The view from this place is incredible. I'd recommend it to a small group (2-4) who plan to spend most of their time outside. Curral das Freiras is a lovely area and there are three outside terraces with amazing views. Owner communication was good.
