A Casa Do Caseiro

Such a nice stay. The host Stefania was so lovely and warm. She makes sure you have everything you need; she stayed up for me checking in late, and on my last day I had a very early flight so I checked out in the night, she made me a packed breakfast to take to the airport! The hotel is on a steep hill so provides excellent views, but is not ideal if you have mobility issues. You can walk into town (takes about 20-25 mins), and back if you’re fit, or get a taxi for €5-10 each way. You can walk up to the gardens/Mont Palace but would recommend a taxi as it’s a 45 minute walk up a steep hill (like 45 degree angle!). You get a key on arrival to use for your door. There is also a fan/AC appliance if you want, wasn’t needed in October.

The hotel is quaint and old, so expectedly there were not a lot of sockets to charge appliances, sometimes flickering lights, a bit of a wait for hot water in the shower, and thin walls, and because of this you should bring earplugs — there was a neighbour’s dog who barked for hours each night I was there.

View to the city and the sea, breakfast, vibe, personal, garden, free parking nearby.

A bit of old house smell in the room, we also experienced it in other accommodations on Madeira.

Very nice location. Wonderful garden. Absolutely fantastic breakfast, big thanks for fresh avocado.

A bit old, but that was special in a way.

Nice buffet breakfast, equipped with all you may need. Beautiful and well-curated garden.

It wasn't comfortable at all and lacked basic hotel-room amenities. (Mini fridge, shampoo etc.) I am 178 cm, and I had my feet off the bed. The mattress had somebody's shape imprinted on it, stiff like stone, and was surely smaller than a double bed. We had to create a mattress topper with blankets and towels.
