Machico Vacations from $264

Nice place to stay outside of the hustle/bustle of Funchal, close to hikes. Construction on beachfront supposed to be done by early summer according to locals. Great restaurants, bar and bakery on the street for evening options, but a bit limited for longer stays. Hot tub was really nice set up, but had wildly ranging temperatures from 32 degrees Celsius to 47 at one point, so was often not really usable. Often opened our window as the room would get quite stuffy after a hot shower. Staff are lovey.

The staff were very friendly, attentive and always accommodating. Exceptional view from the rooftop bar/pool area. Delicious buffet breakfast(s). Easy transport accessibility. I highly recommend.

The views from the ocean view are amazing. Beautiful location too. Rooms are older and quite dated yet very clean and a great balcony. We’d stay again for sure.

Villa Alto is a lovely old house set high up in the hills above Ponta do Sol. With beautiful views. You will definitely need a hire car. The Staff are wonderful and work very hard to make you feel welcome. The breakfast is amazing, all freshly made from scratch. Sadly there was no dinner service available during our stay. Our room (no 9)was small and needed some TLC. The weather during our stay was stormy and the room was cold and damp. The curtains were stained and hanging from the rails. The sash windows need attention/replacement as all three were exposed to the wind and rain. We would definitely return to Villa Alto and hope for better weather.

Nous avons été bien reçu. La localisation est parfaite. Le déjeuner est bien. L’accès à l’hôtel à côté permet de profiter de la piscine et du spa.
