Everything! In our 5-night stay, we rate this one as number 1, without contest! The view is exceptional. We did have an upgrade to an apartment which included a double plus a two-single room, opening on to a balcony with a stunning view. Very comfortable bed, nice bathroom. Lots of space. Stunning walk to the near-by point-of-view. We did not try the pool, but just the jacuzzi, with no one around, it was perfect. We had dinner at the restaurant and were very happy with our shared steak, big hunk of very tender meat which we shared. Pleasant staff and service. For around 55€ for two, we thought it was good value and a pleasant experience. Good buffet breakfast before we left. We loved it!

The place is magical. You will have the best view into the Nuns Valley and the house is so spacious. There's even a second kitchen and three terraces to enjoy various views. There's even a bus stop right outside the house so you can come from Funchal by bus. We recommended staying here for more than just a day as there is so much to explore around the area and it's just so beautiful. A very nice home that feels "homey" right from the start

Danny's rural suite was our best stay in Madeira. We chose this place for it's close location to Pico Ruivo. The place is only 30-40min drive away from Funchal, the bus stop is right next to the building. The host was really kind and helpful. The appartement is quite big, it is suitable for five people, I think. There was two large beds and one small bed, the kitchen was in the same room, and also there was a private bathroom. Nice view outside the window. In the mornings (in December) it was quite cold, but there were two radiators to warm the room.

Everything was really great. The room, the staff, the restaurant and the position close to the city center. They also offer breakfast takeaway for who, like us, wanted to start an hike early in the morning. We didn’t find anything we would like to be improved.

Nice for hiking especially the short levada " poiso " way back in the valley ( Faja dos Cardos ) + Terra cha , renember to walk from downstairs to up , that is steep + the road up to Miradouro, ( paved road is situated on your right side , 100 metres from the tunnel entrance on the road to the hotel Eira. Negative : too many restaurant will deny you a " ticket / fatura " receipt. They avoid paying tax, you pay the tax and it goes direct down in the restaurants owners pocket. Shops : The souvenier shop next to Ladeira da igreja too will not give you any recepit so you don't have any guarantee. Avoid this kind.

We recommend the restaurant La Perla; it's simple, good, and really inexpensive! You absolutely must try the chestnut soup :) Next door, there's a well-stocked little shop. It's also worth climbing up to the Miradouro da Eira do Serrado viewpoint; the views from there are breathtaking.

The apartman is very well situated in the middle of village named Curral das Freiras. The whole building is after full reconstruction and therefore the apartman is equiped with the latest modern style furniture and electric devices. We lived on the second floor. I would recommend this apartman for families with enthusiast hikers because it's reallly great starting point. Mrs. Isabel is very polite and she helped me with all my quires. Thank you!

A huge house just for us. A very nice and comfortable patio with shadow and sun and a plum tree (delicious fruits). Usually, it's a good location for hikes (in September 2024, three of four hiking routes were closed). But the bus 81 takes only 45 minutes to Funchal and from there a lot of activities can be done. Curral das Freiras has a supermarket and a few very nice restaurants and a bakery (open from the early morning till 10 pm).

Lovely little house at the very end of Curral das Freiras. There are two terraces that let you enjoy the sunshine the whole day and the view is just breathtaking, as it the peacefulness. The house has two floors and is well equipped with washing machine and good internet connection. Communication with the owner was only online and very easy.
