"Overall, this was a disappointing stay because the standard of the hotel does not reflect the very high customer rating or the 4-star designation... in any way! Firstly, the good: the staff were friendly and very helpful; the room was clean; the location is interesting and picturesque; we had a view of the sea from the bathroom window; enjoyed dinner at the restaurant with tasty and wholesome homemade food. Now the not so good: the room seemed trapped in the 1980s - tiny TV, musty smell, no...

"While the hotel itself is generally nice, with welcoming staff who always greeted us with smiles, there were several downsides. Firstly, the hotel's location is both a blessing and a curse. Nestled on a mountain away from the lively atmosphere of Machico, it offers a peaceful retreat. There are no good restaurants or cafes nearby, which makes it difficult if you prefer dining out. The hotel's promotional images are somewhat misleading- depicting chaise lounges on a grassy lawn, suggesting...
