Excellent location, lovely personal and great atmosphere all together. It was quiet and cozy. The territory around is well maintained and very green, with beautiful garden. The breakfast and dinner were very delicious, I believe that everyone will find that will suit their taste. Personally I loved the omelette and variety of fruits at the breakfast and excellent fish and vegetarian dishes served at dinner. Almost forgot - the rooms are big, clean and comfortable.

    It's very close to Santa Cruz city center, 5 min walk and 25 min walk to the airport or 15 min by car to Funchal. The staff was helpful and friendly, the breakfast was enough and various. The room which we get was comfortable and silent even if it is close to the airport. The pool was clean and the view gorgeous. Furniture is like any other hotel. Big plus for the air conditioning. Quality-price very good. We did not miss Funchal, Santa Cruz is not so crowdy and it's more clean. Free parking place on the street.
