Hotel Quinta Do Furao, hotel in Santana

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!

Paraíso Resiliente, hotel in Santana

Featuring garden views, Paraíso Resiliente offers accommodation with a garden, barbecue facilities and a shared lounge, around 5.4 km from Santana's traditional houses.

I stayed here for a night and enjoyed it. I liked the old style and that it seemed organic. This was something different for me during my travel. I enjoyed sitting in the big open living room at night with the fireplace going. Guests are also allowed to use the kitchen and they also offered free vegetables. The lady working here that I met in the morning was very nice! The huge property is so beautiful with all kinds of plants and flowers and even animals.

    Depends on each individual expectations, this is not a noise place with nitclubs, but it is very good for relaxation, countryside but wonderful, people are going earlier to bed and is so peaceful, you can find diferit restaurant on the village with a lot of options, I highly recommend it if you like the tranquility and nature

    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.

    It is a lovely, peaceful and relaxing place. I wanted time to chill, and Santana did that. Lovely scenery. Eat at the Serra e Mar 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.

    Hotel has a super location. There is enough parking on the property and restaurants are close by. Supermarket is 5min drive from the hotel. The grounds are amazing and from the general terrace which everyone has access to you can see the sea. The room had the perfect size and we still had enough space with 2 big luggages. The breakfast was good. We thought it would have been nice to offer some vegegable like tomatoes or slices cucumber. Otherwise there is a guest fridge where you can leave your stuff and a kitchen to prepare food.

    My husband and I loved our stay here! The apartment is very spacious with all the possible comforts, washing machine included. The lady who welcomed us was the sweetest, she gave us some local cookies and invited us to use the herbs and the lettuce from her garden in case we wanted to prepare some food at home. I recommend this place to anyone who is going to Santana and surrounding, you will feel right at home!

    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.

    Very comfortable and spacious accommodation in the village part of Santana. Big living room with fire, large terrace, fully equipped kitchen, two full-sized bedrooms. Two kilometers to Santana center. Very good base for Ruivo ridge and south-east part of Madeira trips (Porto da Cruz, Machico, Canical, Ribeiro Frio are within 30 minutes by car).

    The room was very comfortable and spacious, especially the bathroom. Nice decoration. Common area (kitchen & living room) was also convenient and well equipped. Beautiful surroundings, levada walk next door. :) I believe the restaurant belongs to the owners, make sure to have a reservation as it can get quite crowded during dinner time.

    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.

    Everything about the suite was fantastic. Wish every hotel was this well thought out and functional. Great view, great shower, great kitchenette, great cat. Thank you for having the heat on, nights were still chilly, and not everyplace in Madeira did!

    The woman who checked us in and later served us at the restaurant was so lovely. Friendly and funny. I’m sorry I can’t accurately remember her name. Elina? If we ever return to Madeira she is the number one reason we will choose Santana in Nature.

    Very clean, compared to the rest of Madeira, feels totally different. Much room for private parking, well equipped kitchen. Nice countryside location, can hear the village roosters and dogs :) Levadas close. Santana center close.

    It is a nice, clean and well-kept house at a walking distance from Santana. The owner was extremely friendly and responsive. At our arrival we were welcomed with a bottle of Madeira wine and traditional cookies.
