The apartment was sufficiently large and comfortable. We found everything we needed in the apartment. It was well equipped and clean. The owner communicated with us very nicely and quickly. Parking in front of the building was an advantage.

Lili and Marco are great hosts, very friendly, responsive and they really care about you having a great time. The apartment was as described, very clean and had everything we needed. The quite large terrace was perfect to enjoy our breakfasts, coffees in the afternoon or dinner. The location is also great, very quiet area, we loved that you could hear the water running through the Levada during the day and night. Within 10min we could walk to the centre of Santana (up and down as typical on Madeira). The house is on the route to the Levada do Caldeirão Verde (<10min by car) and within 20min you reach the parking of Achada do Teixeira from where you can start a hike to Pico Ruivo.
We especially appreciated the evenings in Santana, when the day tourists left and the city became calmer. It gives you time to visit the traditional houses with almost no one else and enjoy restaurants/bars with few tourists and locals.
All in all we had a great stay here and can recommend it.
Offering quiet street views, Casa da Olides - Studio is an accommodation situated in Santana, 39 km from Marina do Funchal and 47 km from Porto Moniz Natural Swimming Pools.

Our hostess Sandra and her mother were very welcoming, and we very much appreciated the homemade biscuits and madeira wine and fruit when we arrived and the traditional cake to take home with us. The house itself was beautifully decorated, the bedrooms in particular with their very comfortable beds, and we loved all the extra cushions, cozy blankets for the sofa and the generous supply of towels in the bathroom.
Set in Madeira, just a 3-minute drive from Santana, the Casa Tia Clementina is located in a quiet area of the island. This renovated old home features a garden filled with flowers and vegetables.

The villa has a pleasant atmosphere and is located in a beautiful environment. Breakfast was sufficient. We could also use the common kitchen when we wanted to have tea or cook dinner. The staff was very kind and helpful. The room was clean and nice.

The hotel is very pleasant.
The hotel is very pleasant. It is good to be together with nature and with beautiful views over the sea and mountains. However, check-in took a long time, we waited 1 hour and a half for them to prepare the room, and when we got to the room, there were no pool towels, we had to ask at reception. Another situation that I didn't like was the booking of the wine tasting and visit to wine house. We were refused the wine tasting because we had already checked out at 12:00h. So we asked if we could do it before check out and they said yes, but we got there and nobody showed up.

Don't stay in Santana longer than 4 days and make sure you have a rental car to get to all the levadas easily. The restaurants/cafes in Santana are not that good/nice. The only tourist attraction in Santana are the famous Santana houses and the nearby hiking area Queimadas.

We made the mistake of not hiring a car before we got to the hotel. We figured we would see what Santana was like and then hire a car locally, this was a big mistake! Once we got to our hotel, it was clear that we would need a car to get around as nothing is close or easy to get to. We're super active people but local hikes are 30 mins just to get to. We were told it would be £630 to hire a car for 5 days. Our advice would be to hire a car ahead of your trip.
Santana is beautiful and has such a variety of things to do and see. Other advice would be to not judge a book by its cover when it comes to restaurants, we ate the best stake in a tiny little restaurant that looked pretty grim from outside.
You probably wont want to spend all your time in Santana but its a great base.

I wanted time to chill, and Santana did that.
Lovely scenery.

Don't bother with the tourists traditional houses, there are plenty of genuine ones in the town, some very rustic

We love Santana in the winter.
We love Santana in the winter. The tourists are all in Funchal, so you have the place for yourself.
Santana is ideally placed for the best hikes in Madeira: Pico Ruivo (at least 3 different hikes start here, all top-class), Queimadas with its amazing hikes and others. Also a short drive to the airport.
There are some great restaurants in Santana and the adjoining villages and all the services you may need.
The apartment was perfect for my family 2 adults and 2 kids. We had everything we needed. The location is easy to find and the communication with the host was perfect.
Having the opportunity for self check-in was very important as we arrived late in the evening.
The supermarket is in the way to the apartment in Santana.
Car rental is needed and parking place is available.
It is situated in the middle of nature.
From the location we drove between 30 min-1h:30 min to the important places of the island.
Beautiful accommodation in Santana! I always communicated with LilLi and then Marco welcomed me at the door. He was extremely kind and helpful, and greeted us with a warm smile and a delicious bottle of local wine. The apartment was impeccably clean and equipped with all the comforts, including Wi-Fi, TV, air conditioning and a spacious bathroom. The location is perfect for exploring the north-east of Madeira. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming stay!
Our stay at Santana in Nature was a delightful experience. The beautiful surroundings were truly breathtaking, and the ample parking space added to the convenience. The traditional food and drink offerings were excellent.
The presence of a pool and hot tub was a nice touch, although we didn’t get a chance to try them due to our busy schedule. The service was generally pleasant, with the waitress being particularly friendly and accommodating.
We were here for 3 nights, we arranged check-in and check-out ourselves to our full satisfaction, upon arrival you just fill out the form and send a photo of it. The apartment is fully equipped, including a washing machine, microwave oven, kettle, toaster and kitchen utensils. The location is ideal for trips to Santana and nearby levadas. Parking is directly in front of the house. Wifi without problems :) Thank you
The room was clean. The hotel itself is nice. Owner was very helpful and friendly, adviced, what to visit nearby and where to eat. The room size was very small, but it was not a problem for us. Every morning we were awakened by the crowing of cocks in Santana, which was so nice to me! :D
Well placed base for hiking and in general well placed logistically. Great snack bar close to the hotel - Adega do Compadre!
Yes I would definitely return. It is classic Adobe type architecture, not modern glass and steel.. thank god! Excellent value and the breakfasts 10/10. It is in a very hilly section of Santana so those with mobility issues would have trouble with the stairs and walks to restaurants close by. We are 66 years old and managed quite fine. Free Parking on the street was good.
The location is a good starting point if you have a car to several great hiking trails. Apartment staff was very helpful and gave us a much bigger apartment than what we originally booked. We could even borrow an umbrella against the rain. Breakfast and the whole breakfasting location was very nice and harmonic. There were also three very nice cats in the garden.
The reception staff was friendly and efficient and the room was spacious and clean. The massive bed was very comfortable with cozy linens. Easily the best bed we had throughout our stay in Portugal. the attached restaurant was fairly good and the included breakfast was decent continental fare. We would definitely stay here again if we passed through Santana.
Lovely typical older style home in beautiful gardens. You have the option to use kitchen facilities should you wish. Very nice breakfast provided and large communal lounge. Place was immaculately clean and staff very friendly. Very good value for money. Santana provides a good base for exploring the island - great access to some lovely hikes.
Breakfast was phenomenal. Even had an egg benedict. The hotel is gorgeous with beautiful gardens surrounding it with awesome views. We got up for sunrise each day and it was special watching it next to the vines.
The staff were super helpful and lovely. This was our favourite accommodation in Madeira.
Hotel is situated near historical center (with typical Santana's houses). Check-in was easy and with no problems. Owners are very friendly. Comfortable and clean rooms. We like a breakfast here as well as common room, where we can wait to our delayed car.
Beautiful grounds (even in February) with some trees and plant flowering and lots of greenery. Beautiful building with lots of character. Rooms were clean and we'll made up. Neat that they have a traditional Santana house on the property.
We loved this apartment, which was about 10min drive from Santana (very touristic). All we needed was there, towels, toilet paper etc! The toilet and shower are a bit small (low ceiling due to slanted walls), but it didn't bother us.
We spent two nights at this small hotel and were very satisfied. The hosts were extremely kind and accommodating. Our room was clean. The breakfast was delicious. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
The location and view is incredible and the breakfast was the best we had on the island. Very comfy and clean. Despite the small negatives, this is the best hotel we stayed at in Madeira.
Everything was great. Staff were friendly, helpful and so nice. The meal we had at the restaurant across the way (run by the hotel) was also delicious. Highly recommend!
Great location, modern and clean apartment with a nice view, close to the center of Santana, super hosts. We had a great time, definitely will come back again.
