I really liked the food, it was well prepared, it was just a shame it took so long, I had to eat it in a hurry, and I couldn't even taste it

We stayed here for a week (minus one day lost as our flight was delayed then redirected to Tenerife due to high winds) during our first visit o Madeira. This was our base of operations as we explored the rest of the island from here using our rental car, The facilities are excellent, modern and minimalist (just like in the photos). Our room overlooked a small garden and had a shared balcony which ran the length of the rooms of the first floor. We ate breakfast every day here. It included fruits, meats and cheeses and baked goods along with honey and jams made using regional ingredients. You also had the option of choosing from a small menu of egg-based dishes that they would make for you. We tried every one of them throughout our stay and they were all good - the scrambled eggs were a bit too runny for my partner's taste. Dinner was also eaten here every day except for two nights and we tried all the main courses which are prepared after you order. The meat, fish and vegetarian dishes were all excellent. The lounge with bar with a wrap around veranda is where we had lunch one day and coffee and digestifs serval nights - again excellent. The staff - especially serving food and drinks are attentive without overbearing and always very professional. After a day or so, they knew our room numbers without us telling them. The rooms included a king-sized bed (two full beds next to each other) and a very spacious bathroom. The credenza stretched the length of the room and was a great place for our stuff before or after our daily trips. It had also had multiple and deep drawers for clothing. There is a flat screen TV (we didn't use it) and a built in safe for valuables. The wardrobe is spacious to hold your suitcase, shoes and clothing. Front desk staff was also attentive and professional - we had arranged for the free shuttle into Funchal on the last day, and also borrowed flashlights for our self guided walk to one of the levadas. Note that there is always at least two special front desk staff (two dogs - one named Estella and the other named Poncha), Friendly but mostly aloof. They are free entertainment - and occasionally argue with each other for no reason. Speaking of animals, the grounds have at least two black & white cats. One tends to hand out by the pool and suns itself, the other outside the restaurant waiting for table scraps or attention. We were greeted by one every morning as we walked from our room to breakfast - almost as a guide. Parking is available for free, but may be difficulty if you are not experienced with driving a manual transmission car or fitting a car in tight spaces alongside the driveway. The honesty bar - beyond the pool was a nice touch. Help yourself to drinks, just write down your room number and what you had and you will be billed later. We had lunch delivered here one day and it was nice looking out to the ocean, and enjoying the breeze. The pool is nice (I stayed on the lounge chair) and a great place to catch up on your tanning (if you're into that) or finish reading your books. The last night we were there, they had a "famous" DJ (DJ King Kami) hosting a dance party from 6 -11 pm. Guests were notified ahead of time for potential noise and non hotel people on the premises. We were in Funchal for dinner that night and when we arrived back at 9 pm, we had to wait in line for the elevator at the street level because of all the party guests line up (the lift can hold about 6 people max if you don't mind standing very close to each other). Extra security was there that night and party guests had to be on a list to enter. We just had to show our room key and were waived in - we probably looked too old for the party crowd. Overall, our experience was a very positive one - save for the first day, when there was a rather unpleasant smell in our room from the A/C ventilation system. We told the front desk the next day as we went out for our daily trip and by the time we came back it was remedied. Oh and one night, there was a "jam session" with a person on

Attentive service provided by the staff. Nothing to point out. Fairly priced food. Unpleasant experience when trying to pay through the MB portable terminal. Apparently, according to the owner, this only works with some cards (??). Customer problem! I recommend that there be prior notice and, above all, that it be resolved by the bank. Lack of professionalism from the owner. It's a matter of respect, you understand?

Nestled on a cliff overlooking the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, this establishment embodies the highest standards of excellence. From the warm and gracious greeting by Cristana at the front desk to the exceptional efforts of Nuno to accommodate our every need, we felt truly cared for and valued as guests. The culinary delights served here are nothing short of exquisite, and the impeccable service provided by the staff is a testament to their dedication and professionalism. We are grateful for the memories we have made in this magical place and strongly recommend it to anyone seeking a world-class experience.

The plate of the day (two meat choices) both were amazing. Roast pork belly and braised veal. A wonderful surprise!
