A scenic countryside retreat
Set in the picturesque village of Santo da Serra, between Santa Cruz, Machico, and the capital Funchal, this countryside hotel offers a tranquil retreat surrounded by lush gardens and scenic landscapes. At 670 metres above sea level, the charming, pink hotel, with green window shutters, is set within a beautifully restored traditional Madeiran quinta (estate), providing a perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort.
The hotel’s extensive gardens are perfect for a relaxing stroll, with winding paths, colourful flowers, and serene ponds. Golf fans will appreciate the proximity to Santo da Serra Golf Club, home to a PGA tournament, while there are numerous hiking and biking trails that showcase Madeira’s stunning natural beauty – many keen hikers use this hotel as a base.
You’ll find chalets and self-catering semi-detached cottages within the pretty gardens. The bungalow complex offers 28 units, all featuring an en-suite bathroom with a shower and bathtub, a kitchen with a fridge, cooker, microwave, and tea and coffee making facilities, and a private balcony or terrace. You could rustle up your own meals, but if you’d prefer to dine out, the village of Santo da Serra offers several traditional eateries. Conveniently located just a short drive from the island’s capital, Funchal, and Madeira Airport, this hotel makes an ideal hub for exploring the island.
