The hotel is directly at the sea; every room has view of the sea. Who evenings gladly on the terrace / balcony sat and waves eavesdrop would like, is here in good hands. The furnishings the room is good, I felt very good. The breakfast is OK; a bit more variety in the selection of the sausage- and cheese wouldn't be bad been; but it was something for every taste available. With a next stay on Madeira is this hotel again into the closer choice and I am also fully friends and friends recommend. Read more
