Santana Pico Ruivo Hotels

"Great communication and directions from the host. However the double bed was very uncomfortable, can feel the springs, suggest a new mattress. Sofa in lounge was also not very comfortable, suggest some improvements to the soft furnishings."

"Stayed in a nice cottage set in lush gardens."

"This bed and breakfast was lovely. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean. The hostess was amazing. Her cooking was delicious and she was so gracious and helpful. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast. "

"This property did not meet expectations and did not match the listing description. Several key details in the listing are inaccurate. The property is described as having a washer and dryer, but there is only a washing machine. No dryer is available, and no laundry detergent was provided, which made basic laundry needs inconvenient during the stay. The location description is also misleading. The listing suggests the property is at a casino and golf course, but it is not. It is a four-unit building located in the middle of a small village. While Santana itself is quiet and peaceful and about a 40-minute drive to Funchal, the description does not reflect the actual setting. The cleanliness of the unit was below standard, and the towels provided were very rough and uncomfortable. Overall, aside from liking the quiet location, the stay did not align with the listing or typical expectations for a vacation rental. Due to inaccurate information and the condition of the property, I would not recommend staying here."

"A very special place. If you love an upscale, serene and peaceful location with hiking and exploration, great wine, fresh bead daily and very courteous people, this place is for you. "

"This was a great hotel in an incredible location, we loved it here. "

"Great staff, really good food, great atmosphere, and made a super bag lunch for our hike the following day."

"We had a wonderful stay at Between the Sea and Mountains! The home was cozy with so much character. We enjoyed cooking on the BBQ outside in the little courtyard and in the kitchen, it had everything we needed. We loved ending our days on the balcony overlooking the ocean and mountain reflecting on the amazing day we had hiking. We would 100% recommend staying here!"

"The jacuzzi was incredible"
