Gaula Vacations from $330

Our stay at Villa Camelia was truly superb! Visiting in low season meant we had a near-empty property to enjoy - and it's a stunning house! The communal spaces are truly whimsical and there's something new to spot every time you walk through. Our room was very homely and the high ceilings on the upstairs level made it feel even more spacious. The breakfast served by Berta each morning was splendid, with lots of choice and all of it delicious. The grounds surrounding the house are plentiful and well-maintained and we cannot wait to return in the summer months to spend our downtime outside in the sun! Simply put; do not hesitate to book your stay here!

We had a good stay, the reception staff are very welcoming and friendly. Room was clean and there was plenty of spare towels, pillows etc. We went on half board basis. Although there was plenty of food, it lacked taste. Buffet menu needs to improve, especially the hot food for vegetarians. Very insipid. Also we felt cheated because we asked for tap water at dinner and got charged for it! The head waiter takes the order for drinks and we felt it was his duty to inform customers that they charge even for tap water! It is ironical that they give free prosecco and at breakfast, but charge for water at dinner!! Customers can make an informed decision about ordering water if the hotel can make them aware of their charges. Overall, the staff are hard working and try very hard to do their best. Not a bad place to stay but be prepared to pay for your water at dinner!

10/10!! Can’t say enough how amazing of a stay it was. They provided fresh croissants EVERY morning at our door. They were quick to reply to messages. The room was always very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect. The restaurant is amazing and the bar was such a good vibe. Would definitely come back

Very nice rooms and incredible breakfast buffet. We really appreciated the special touches they added for our honeymoon. It's easy walking distance from old town and has wonderful restaurants nearby. We loved catching sunset by their beautiful pool with ocean views. It feels very peaceful.

Very happy we chose Palheira Village for our stay. The place exceeded our expectations with beautiful views, large rooms and house was very clean. The heated swimming pool was perfect and the kids really enjoyed it. Staff was friendly and responsive. The restaurant at the golf course near by had great food and service and the views were amazing. I highly recommend this place and will be rebooking here whenever I visit Madeira. My only wish was that the homes had basics in the kitchen like salt, pepper, sugar, coffee and oil.
