Estreito da Calheta Vacations from $659

Staying at São Lourenço Guest House in Madeira was truly the highlight of our trip. The property is stunning, peaceful, and spotless, with everything thoughtfully arranged for comfort and relaxation. But what made it unforgettable was the host—so warm, welcoming, and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. From local tips to daily check-ins, their kindness made us feel completely at home. It was hands down the best stay we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to return!

The hotel is fairly high up the hillside, so the drive up is exciting! The hotel itself is amazing. We had a great corner room and balcony with amazing sea and valley views. The staff were very friendly. The only downside was the restaurant was only open for breakfast during our stay, so dinners had to be elsewhere.

The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. I loved the beautiful flowers throughout the property. The breakfast was always delicious with happy friendly servers.

We’ve stayed that this hotel many times before and the stay was again excellent. The room was generously large with a usable balcony. The buffet breakfasts were outstanding in quality and selection. Generally the whole experience was excellent.
