Santana in Nature Bed & Breakfast

The hot tub and the views were the redeeming features. Can't fault the location. Check in was ok, there was confusion over whether we has paid for breakfast (we had, the pleasant guy that checked us in eventually said it was sorted, the man working in the morning was pretty unwelcoming and clearly hadn't been told). Room 40 has a very smelly bathroom, had to sleep with the windows open to make it close to bearable! I wished we'd saved the £12 )and the hassle) associated as the breakfast was very basic and the restaurant had flies all around the buffet food. Check out was the same guy as breakfast. Glad we only had the one night here.

Worst bed and breakfast ever. This place shouldn't be allowed to exist as it is. I went on a 1 week family vacations which included me of course, my wife and my 2 kids which are 4yo and 8 months. Once we arrived to our room the smell of mold was all over the place, also the humidity levels were to high and there was this strange cold feeling although the outside temperatures were between 25-30ºC We decided to stay since we paid the entire reservation up ahead (worst decision ever!) On the upcoming day we went down to take a breakfast and please be aware that you either have to walk outside through some long stairs or you have to drive by car. All because the cafeteria/restaurant is in another building way down the hill. With 2 kids including a baby stroller I wouldn't take the chance of walking those stairs... so, by car it was. The breakfast was not diverse at all, a poor combination of few things like bread and cereal and this is where I got really frustrated: they were serving yesterday's (or more) bread! Honestly it was so rough and dry that I went to talk to one of the staff members... they confirmed that it was not fresh bread. Continuing breakfast nightmare, I asked for an expresso coffee and guess what? It's not included! yes, you have to pay for the expresso separately although you are getting old bread for breakfast! Well, at this point my expectations were already broken and whatever comes after will be just an add-on to the overall nightmare... Well it got even worst: - The bathtub was rusty, yes you are stepping your feet on pure iron rust - The walls were filled with humidity and leaks , which is a major cancer contributor (google it) - You could here the pipes all night long. Yes, every time somebody goes to the toiled you are greeted with a pipe orchestra. - There is no sound proof from the other guest rooms, you ear everything (and yes, everything includes it) - There are areas on the room where the floor is elevated, like it at burst out of his misery Now, you can imagine that this experience with a family of 4 (including a baby) wasn't much fun wasn't it?

Human communication is 55% nonverbal, 38% vocal, and 7% words only. So words alone cannot do justice to this incredible place, but I will try. Honesty, passion, experience, and hard work from the staff, combined perfectly with the unrivaled natural beauty of Santana to deliver a memorable and soul touching experience at this ideally located and excellently managed B&B / Restaurant. The food, to die for. The service, outstanding. The price... I'd pay tenfold. A must visit gem of Madeira. Thank you for having us.

We loved our ocean view balcony room! The sunrise view from the balcony was the best we had on our entire trip. The staff was so nice and we drank house-made mint Poncha all evening with the managers. They really made us feel welcome. This was one of our favorite stays because it felt less touristy than Funchal or other places on the island. Highly recommend this spoot if you want a simple clean room and the best view.

Personale cordiale e simpatico che ci ha offerto un chupito appena arrivati. La camera era spaziosa, pulita e con tutto in regola. Avevano la possibilità di mangiare al ristorante che si trova di fronte alle camere ed era buonissimo, inoltre all'ultima cena ci hanno offerto 2 bicchierini di Poncha. Area relax con giochi come freccette e biliardo per passare la serata e 2 jacuzzi per quando si torna dalle escursioni. Cosa si può volere di più?

Zuerst das Positive: Für einen Kurzaufenthalt ist dieses Hotel gut geeignet. Von unserem Zimmer aus haben wir einen großartigen Blick über das Meer und die Umgebung. Das Zimmer ist zudem sehr geräumig und verfügt über einen Balkon. Das Frühstück ist einfach, aber ausreichend. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit und das gegenüberliegenden Restaurant verfügt über lokale, leckere und preiswerte Speisen. Was die Lage angeht sollte berücksichtigt werden, dass viele Ausgangspunkte für Wanderungen fußläufig nur schwer zu erreichen sind. Ein Mietwagen ist empfehlenswert, da der öffentliche Nahverkehr nur spärlich ausgebaut ist. Nun das Verbesserungswürdige: Auch wenn das Zimmer voll funktionstüchtig ist, würde sich eine Renovierung anbieten. Insbesondere im Bad und an der Balkontür lassen sich kleine Schadstellen erkennen. Als besonders unangenehm empfinden wir den muffigen Geruch im Bad.

Chambre vétuste à la limite de la propreté. Non insonorisée et non chauffée ! Couverture usée et tachée. Serviettes de toilettes sentant le moisi ! Nous avons dormi une semaine avec nos pulls et des boules quies ! Le seul intérêt c’est la vue. Pour les personnes fatiguées, ils y a plusieurs escaliers et 2 routes à traverser pour prendre le petit déjeuner.

Atendimento péssimo, sempre a mesma pessoa aos pequenos almoços em que não tinha simpatia, parecia que estava a fazer um favor aos clientes! Pequeno almoço super básico, em 5 dias comemos sempre a mesma coisa. As fotografias enganam imenso, colocam só fotografias da parte de cima do hotel, onde tem vista mar, a piscina e jacuzzi, depois quando se faz o check in, em que dizemos só o nosso nome e entregam nos a chave e dizem meia dúzia de coisas básicas, percebemos que ficamos na outra parte do hotel, mais a baixo, em que se vê o mar muito longe, é bonito, claro, mas não tanto como mostram nas fotos! Bom sítio para guardar as malas, tomar banho, dormir e comer alguma coisa de manhã!
