Ever wondered if there's something much more powerful than you out there? Those who live at Santa Clara Monastery may have the answers.

This residence for monks is one of the highlights in Sao Pedro. But it's not the only attraction in the area worth visiting. After you've paid the admission fee and fully explored Santa Clara Monastery, check out nearby Madeira Botanical Garden, Monte Palace Gardens and Madeira Stadium as well.

Lovely outdoor space , spacious room although not happy with the lack of cleaning of the room even after reporting the problem twice. Nice gesture from the public relations Manuela on our 3rd and last night at the hotel. Much appreciated. The communication among members of staff and specially the management should improved.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (645 reviews)

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Pestana Promenade! The rooms are lovely and spacious. The only thing that bugged me was the big arch blocking our view of the sea partially. A few rooms have this problem. The staff are amazing, especially the cleaning ladies who do a wonderful job and are very kind. Amazing staff in the restaurant as well! Thank you Pestana, we will be returning for sure!😀
