Pros:

A localização é muito boa, tem uma vista incrível. Os funcionários são muito simpáticos e educados.

Cons:

Não tem internet disponível para uso no quarto. Consequentemente você precisa se deslocar para outro local para conseguir utilizar. Ar condicionado não funciona tão bem. Um dos dias fez imenso calor e não consegui ficar na acomodação ou dormir tranquilamente.

Pros:

Beautiful Stay with Stunning Views and a Perfect Location. The hills around Gaula are definitely steep, but taxis are cheap and easy to get, so moving around was never a problem.

Pros:

A helpful receptionist who seemed friendly and accommodating

Cons:

The room was very dirty; the windows leading to the terrace were grimy, and one pane of glass was half-broken. It seemed to me that no one had cleaned the room beforehand. The bathroom didn’t have the standard toiletries, and I had to specifically ask for a hair dryer (which is listed in the room amenities). The kitchen, including the cutlery, was dirty - I wouldn’t have used it for food. There is no Wi-Fi at the accommodation!

Great for quick first/last night
Pros:

We arrived very late at night and wanted just a 1 night base before starting Madeira. It was great for this purpose. Very close to airport, easy check in, easy check out, not expensive, clean and comfortable!

Cons:

Old property, small parking lot!

Okay for 1 night but wouldn’t enjoy
Pros:

Beautiful view and close to airport so it was perfect for our 1am flight landing. The check in process was smooth and easy despite our late arrival time.

Cons:

All beds are singles which isn’t an ideal start to our honeymoon. Room was immaculate but smelt like someone had previously smoked in there.
We woke up and planned to get a coffee then call a cab but there was no kettle or complementary tea/coffee in the room. We walked around the hotel to find a bar or drinks machine but the bar was closed and there was no where to get a hot drink.
