  Second time here. Super tucked away spot. Peaceful

  Liked: Second visit. Love the hotel and staff. Super location to play golf.

  Disliked: Liked everything but dinner menu on à la carte insufficient choice. Also bar menu needs to be more extensive. Bar menu also too expensive. 27e for a very small portion spaghetti bolognese is too much. As is 23e for a cesar salad. Half board table d’hote menu fine but needs to be made available on odd nights for those not on this option.

  Liked: We eloped in Madeira and stayed here for our wedding and took photos in the gardens. The staff was wonderful and the service was outstanding. They were so kind and even helped with steaming my wedding dress the day of our ceremony. The grounds are beautiful and breakfast is delicious. We had such a lovely time here and will forever remember it.

  Disliked: Nothing, everything was amazing

  Great stay in Velha

  Liked: The hotel was superb, with a beautiful room, excellent facilities, and lovely surroundings. Carolina was incredibly welcoming when we arrived late, and Sonja was extremely professional, helpful, and attentive with all our requests. All the staff were polite, friendly, and genuinely accommodating throughout our stay. We were so impressed with the hotel and the level of service that we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. We would definitely choose this hotel again and would be very happy to return in the future.
