The View is the best! Night and day! We just couldn't get enough! The hotel has many facilities (it's also a spa after all). Beds were comfy, shower also nice. Breakfast was pretty good to start the day. The path going down to Curral das Freiras looks challenging, but it's entertaining and very much worth it (and back!).

Absolutely 10 out of 10. Very good communication with the host. Hassle-free self-check in. The apartment had everything we needed, it was clean, smelled nice, it was great.

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

I've been to Madeira many times, but I don't think I've ever been as happy with the accommodation as I was this time. The house is behind the Curral das Freiras (counting from Funchal), not many tourists come there. I came to do a bit of hiking in the mountains because of many marked trails in the area, and to rest after the hike. Peace and quiet are the things I'm looking for - and I've found them there. A great place in every way. The area is very peaceful and quiet. There is little car traffic, mainly direct public transport buses to Funchal (the access road is of good quality). Stable and fast internet access. I had the entire first floor of the house at my disposal - a very large living room with a wide sofa and two beds, a well equipped kitchen corner, and a bathroom. Also a long balcony terrace with table and chairs, facing south, very sunny. The bed was very comfortable. Very clean everywhere. Good value for money. The owners are very nice and helpful with problems. You can count on help in difficult situations (unfortunately, such a difficult situation happened to me, for which I apologize and thank them for help). There is a good restaurant 7 minutes up the hill (in Faja Escura).

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.

Probably the comfiest hotel bed we've ever slept in - the quality of the sheets, matress and pillows was incredible. we got a free upgrade to a suite, the room was enormous and beautiful, with a freestanding bathtub. Breakfast was delicious, the hotel design was very fun. Beautiful rooftop pool and bar. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Would love to go back!

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.

Uphill there is nice small bar/restourant of local food. You need cash there to pay. Good not expensive national food, especialy tasty local vine. Local people do not speak English, even in restourant, but friendly and warm. Very good place to stay for hiking,

Curral das ferreiras is very quiet, peacefully and tourist friendly.Ideally if you want the quiet after a day from touring the Island . Definitely you need a car to travel to other places in the Island . We stayed there 3 nights of our holiday that was perfect.

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).

The house is big and spatious, there are two terraces, it has a wonderful view over the valley, and it's in a very calm area. That is all worth driving up there to Curral das Freiras every day (around 25 mins from Funchal). It is also fully equipped, there's probably anything you might need. The owner is very kind and helpful she responds very fast. We would definitely come there again !

Beautifully presented, gorgeous location. There is a hike up the mountain right on your doorstep, took us 1hr 10min to the hotel/ viewpoint but well worth the uphill trek. I would 100% stay again.
