House pc, hotel in Porto da Cruz

Located in Porto da Cruz, House pc provides accommodation with a private pool, a balcony and mountain views. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the villa free of charge.

Excellent location, large property with great views and nice swimming pool. Please disregard the negative comment about toilet roll on the review by 'Birznieksm Austria' as this is common practice throughout Madeira due to the nature of their waste water systems and processing.

Hotel Quinta Do Furao, hotel in Porto da Cruz

Featuring stunning views of the north-east coast of the Island of Madeira and the surrounding mountains, this 4-star hotel offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and a balcony.

The staff was exceptionally nice. The wine yards next to the cliff are gorgeous and so is the view from the outside pool. Breakfast is outstanding - the egg Benedict with salmon is a must try. There are 3 options for dinner on the property - the hotel bar, the restaurant and the pizzeria. I would highly recommend staying here, the atmosphere is just something else!

    Beautifully situated little village with everything you need...

    Beautifully situated little village with everything you need for a "slow life" relaxing, stress free stay! We visited almost all costal villages in Madera, and Porto da Cruz is by far our favourite!!!! We love this place and keep coming back here! :) Also, the is the best restaurant ever, A Pipa! Thoroughly recommended!

    A small but very cozy town.

    A small but very cozy town. Has few local supermarkets, few good restaurants and snack bars with a perfect food. Amazing rock views. Also you must visit a Madeira rum factory, that is located in this town and taste it. This town has 2 beaches and 1 local natural pool.

    Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea.

    Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea. Excellent restaurants serving fresh, traditional food at very reasonable prices. Great sea water swimming pool and coastline walks. Not easy if you’re using public transport as buses are infrequent.

    Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills...

    Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills and sheer cliffs. Magnificent scenery around. Ideal for surfers. Pleasant climate when we visited in April. Flowers all around in full bloom. If you're looking for an active holiday hiking in nature and tranquil evenings, this is the place to come. Having a head for heights is a bonus. Or take gentler trails to get used to sometimes dizzying drops at your own pace. We stayed outside of Porto da Cruz in a little house about 20 mins walk away nestling on a green hill that sloped gently into a valley. Small streams abound taking water down to the sea. Expect birdsong everywhere, especially in the mornings punctuated with cocks crowing from small farmsteads peppered around the slopes. Frogs also joined in with their springtime mating calls trilling the air. Food was simple but from high quality local produce. We'd recommend this area and a visit to Madeira to those needing to get back to nature and a sustainable approach to life. Not too much litter in and around the town. Either local groups clearing up or tourists in general are conscious and careful to respect the natural beauty of the environment by leaving as little trace of their passing as possible.

    I visited Madeira during a storm, which broke out whilst I was at Jaca Hostel. I was only at the hostel for 2 nights, but actually it was my favourite place to stay! I met lots of amazing people, many also travelling alone. Porto da Cruz is very quiet (very different to Funchal), but I felt a real sense of community even for the short time I was there. There are lots of hikes you can do from Porto da Cruz, an amazingly cheap bakery/sandwich shop that does great coffee just next door, and plenty of surfing opportunities.

    The apartment was very comfy, it has everything the family of 2, 3 or 4 may need plus the view! The host Guadalupe was very nice :) The garrage was a real asset once you get use to parking in it. But once you do, you may as well consider yourself a local in Madeira :) We spent a week in Feb 2022 and we loved everything about it. Very private and very Madrean. You cant compare it to a hotel because it feels like home. We can recommend it to anybody. And Porto da Cruz is the best!

    The location. We loved coming “home” to Porto da Cruz. Great and friendly people, good local food, and rainbows every day-usually doubles! The space was terrific, beds very comfortable and plenty of hot water. We had planned hikes in the northeast while there and very happy everything was within 20 minutes drive. Luna was a fabulous host, very responsive and made us feel so relaxed.

    In this place you will the best organic breakfast in your life, much better choices than even in 5-star hotels. Hosts are just truly amazing, very kind and nice atmosphere is around. Levada is very near from the house, you can start your journey right there. And the panoramic views are stunning. It is better to stay in that part of Porto da Cruz than close to the beach ;) recommended

    We hadn’t stayed in Porto da Cruz before, it’s a quaint little surf town on the coast. The house is older but in a great location for anyone who wants to get around without using a car. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, the beds were really hard so be prepared. Check out Dino’s Bar right under the house, fantastic poncha and a nice location for walking.

    Great location to land in the heart of a beautiful village of Porto Da Cruz. Very friendly and caring host. Roof top was great for dining on with stunning views. Very clean and comfortable. Great air flow through the apartment and Rodrigo had just installed fly screens in every window which we were very grateful for. 2 extra heaters if you need. We loved our stay here.

    We really loved our stay in Porto da Cruz in Guadalupes apartment. The apartment is everything we expected. The kitchen is well equipped, it is clean and lovely decorated. The location is also great. It is close to a small supermarket, the bus stop, and the beach. You can even reach some hikes by foot. I would recommend to hike along the north coast towards canical.

    The house is located at the edge of the village to Porto da Cruz (5 mins downhill walk to village). The village is very cute, with a lovely natural salt water swimming pool maintained by local municipal (1.5€ for the adults), a few reasonable restaurants at the seafront, a bakery, and a supermarket. The house has a lovely garden and beautiful seaview.

    Staying here was the real deal and everything we came to Madeira for; we stayed in 4 hotels which were 4/5 stars and then here, it was our favourite !!! location was superb and we will treasure our memories of eating at the hotel’s restaurant listening to and and watching the waves and eating their food cooked with passion. Special thanks to Dino 😄

    The studio is set up well - everything you need and very organized. Located close to a mini-mercado for conveniences. Just a short 5 minute drive to beautiful Porto Da Cruz and the surf spots. The studio is very clean and comfortable. There were a lot of thoughtful touches like a drying rack for clothes.

    We were extremely happy with everything. A car is useful if you stay here to visit other parts of the island. You can easily walk to Porto da Cruz and the beaches around. Helpful and kind property owner made sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back.
