We were greeted by very helpful and enthusiastic staff . They informed us of all the amenities available ( parking / Swimming Pool ) and also Breakfast Times/‘Location . The interior layout is stunning , a ‘colonial’ house with lot of different rooms for you to relax / read / share a drink etc . The views of the surrounding hills and towards the Coast are truly stunning . You get a real feel for what Madeira is all about , beautiful n natural landscapes , plunging Cliffs into the sea and of course an array of beautiful plants in bloom .

Beautiful building, with great views down the hillside and out to sea. Lovely big room, with nice balcony, comfortable beds. Kettle, teas and mini-fridge were appreciated.
The lady on reception was very friendly and answered our questions.
Unfortunately the restaurant was not serving any dinner and the pool hadnt been cleaned and looked out of action, it was early in the season but neither was informed to us before our stay.

The hotel is fairly high up the hillside, so the drive up is exciting! The hotel itself is amazing. We had a great corner room and balcony with amazing sea and valley views. The staff were very friendly. The only downside was the restaurant was only open for breakfast during our stay, so dinners had to be elsewhere.

Villa Alto is a lovely old house set high up in the hills above Ponta do Sol. With beautiful views. You will definitely need a hire car.

The Staff are wonderful and work very hard to make you feel welcome. The breakfast is amazing, all freshly made from scratch. Sadly there was no dinner service available during our stay.
Our room (no 9)was small and needed some TLC. The weather during our stay was stormy and the room was cold and damp. The curtains were stained and hanging from the rails. The sash windows need attention/replacement as all three were exposed to the wind and rain.

We would definitely return to Villa Alto and hope for better weather.

Set high up on the side of a mountain, you have beautiful views from your room and property. The rooms are older but go with the setting and are very comfortable. The staff is outstanding. Graciela and Brayanni were so helpful and fun to talk to. They both truly made our stay incredible.

There is a daily breakfast, which was outstanding. There is wine, beer, and other spirits that can be purchased on premises during your stay.

The pool was wonderful, but if you don’t like pools, ask for some beach towels and head to one of many beaches.

If you like cats, there are some to great you everyday. They were so sweet and friendly.

Boutique hotel sounded like a good idea until we had to take an extremely dangerous road to reach the place with very limited parking spots. Our room did not have Air conditioning, not even a fan and the room was very warm. Opening the window connected you with the noisy road right at the window and leaving you completely exposed to anyone climbing in the room through the window. The front desk lady was rude, and did not even offer any accommodations to make our stay bearable and so we had to leave and book another hotel. If you want to go for a very steep adventure, risk not having a parking and sleeping in a room with no ventilation, air conditioning or a fan the this might be your place.

Peaceful characterful hotel

This hotel is uphill from Ponta do Sol and, having arrived from Funchal by bus, we were prepared to walk what looks on the map like a couple of kilometres. However, we decided to take a taxi and were glad we did, as the journey by road is more like 6 or 7 kms. The taxi was 10eu, quite reasonable.
At the hotel a very warm welcome from charming manager Feliks, who went out of his way to be helpful at all times. Beautifully situated old manor house in a peaceful rural location, with immense traditional character, well appointed rooms & fabulous views. Amazing value. Good buffet breakfasts in the attached restaurant, though we were disappointed that it was otherwise closed (perhaps out of season?) as we had no car. There are few local facilities apart from a cafe next door with limited menu. Nevertheless we enjoyed our peaceful days by the pool and a couple of pleasant levada walks accessible just up the hill.
Our only criticism/suggestion is about the mention on the website of own quinta produce such as orchard fruit and honey, raising expectations of sampling home-produced foods. Sadly, not only was there no such produce apparent at breakfast but, as almost always these days, standard mass-produced fare such as plastic & foil servings of imported butter, jam and honey. What a shame! It would really enhance the customer experience and the reputation of a character rural hotel like this to offer locally sourced ingredients.

Wir sind angekommen und haben ein Zimmer direkt an der Straße mit zwei kaputten Fensterscheiben bekommen. Am liebsten wären wir gleich wieder abgereist. Das Restaurant im Hotel gibt es nicht. Zum Essen hätten wir noch einmal das Haus verlassen müssen, mit dem Mietwagen, im Dunkeln, nachdem wir seit 14 Stunden auf den Beinen waren und bei Madeiras Straßen, no way. Am nächsten Morgen haben wir um ein anderes Zimmer gebeten und hatten tatsächlich Glück. Ein Zimmer nicht an der Straße, mit Balkon und Meerblick wurde an dem Morgen frei. So durften wir ohne Aufpreis zahlen zu müssen umziehen, wenigstens bis zur letzten Nacht. Generell hat das Hotel die besten Jahre hinter sich. Die Einrichtung ist eher rustikal, gemütlich und hat durchaus Charme. Schaut man genauer hin, dann kann es sein, dass mal eine Fliese im Bad fehlt, Badewanne Macken hat oder ein Kabel aus der Wand hängt. Alles in allem haben wir uns nach unserem Zimmerwechsel dennoch sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Menschen sind super freundlich und herzlich. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und reichlich gewesen. Es gab immer frisches Obst und Gemüse. Die Einfahrt ins Gelände ist sehr eng gewesen, das haben wir die ersten Tage vermieden, parken an der Straße war problemlos möglich. Irgendwann haben wir uns doch getraut mit unserem Ford Puma auf den Hof zu fahren, ging viel besser als gedacht. Würden wir nochmal da wohnen wollen, klar, jetzt wissen wir schließlich, wo die Schwachstellen sind und was wir beachten müssen.

Alt i alt havde vi et godt ophold med 3 overnatninger. Fin modtagelse.
Værelset var pænt stort og senge var gode.
Savnede kaffebreve på værelse - der var kun tebreve.
Synes dog ejendom var noget slidt - og vinduer i vores værelse var i meget dårlig stand - og hul i glas (det ene vindue var helt lukket med brædder pga stand).
I fællesrum / stue trak det, så det var koldt at sidde en aften på denne årstid. Der var ikke wifi på værelset - kun i fælllesrum, hvilket var lidt træls nu koldt i fællesrum.
Parkering er sparsom og i lille går eller ude på vej langs hotel - det var ikke nemt at parkere med mellemstor bil.
Dejlig lækker stor morgenmadsbuffet med lidt variation.

Das Villa Alto Boutique Hotel ist eine Frechheit. Unser Zimmer hatte zwei zerbrochene Fensterscheiben, ein Fenster war von außen zugenagelt, damit man sich nicht an den Fensterscherben verletzt. Die Balkontür defekt, es regnete herein. Im Winter ist das Haus völlig ungeeignet, da es sich nicht heizen lässt. So wurde alles feucht und wir haben uns sehr erkältet. Die Aufenthaltsräume sind ebenfalls nicht geheizt, die Gäste saßen in Thermojacken und in Decken gehüllt beim Frühstück und am Abend.
Das versprochene Restaurant gibt es nicht. Das bedeutet, jeden Abend ins nächste Dorf fahren - eine Taxifahrt von jeweils 25€. Viele Gäste haben sich im Supermarkt versorgt und abends im ungeheizten Aufenthaltsraum eine kalte Mahlzeit eingenommen.

Quelle charmante demeure, tout est bien pensé et on a l’impression d’avoir fait un bond dans le temps. Petit déjeuner buffet très bon avec du salé et du sucré fait maison gâteaux, crêpes, pancakes. Seul bemol, l’hôtel n’a plus de restaurant et devoir faire 25 minutes de route pour dîner par des chemins très sinueux en plus c’est compliqué. Pourquoi ne pas proposer un petit snacking simple pour le soir ou un buffet froid?

Très joli domaine, le personnel est accueillant, bienveillant et de bons conseils.
Dommage qu’il n’y avait pas de service de restaurant sur place, sachant que sur le site c’est indiqué qu’il y en a un.
On a juste pas eu de chance par rapport à notre chambre si tu es directement sur la rue ou certaines personnes se gare juste devant notre fenêtre…
Cependant, le cadre est magnifique.

Schöner Rückzugsort

Das Frühstück war hervorragend und sehr divers. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und das Zimmer und das gesamte Haus sehr stylisch mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Die Unterkunft ist etwas umständlicher zu erreichen mit dem Fahrzeug, dafür mit wunderschöner Aussicht. Einziger Kritikpunkt wäre, dass das Zimmer etwas sauberer sein könnte und die Räumlichkeiten nicht mehr im Neusten Zustand sind.

Ikke rent og fyldt med katte

Hotellet er et smukt gammelt hotel.
Men ingen service ig ikke alle medarbejdere talte engelsk. Pool håndklæder skulle man lede efter. Katte og kattehår gør det svært for folk med allergi.
Beskeden morfenmadsbuffet.

Die Lage ist gut, aber es müssten dringend mal die Zimmer renoviert werden. In unserem Fall ließ sich die Badtüre nicht schließen (verzogen). Die Eingangstür zum Zimmer ist so undicht, dass der komplette Lichteinfall von draußen nach innen scheint.

Situation au calme mais à quel prix !

Très bon petit déjeuner.
Accès difficile en pleine montagne avex des % élevés. Ceci dit, cela ne doit pas poser de problème pour quelqu'un habitant en montagne.
Personnel un peu froid, excepté la dame de l'accueil, pour le coup accueillante ! Nous avions pourtant une excellente image des portuguais, extrêmement gentils et accueillants, vela a t-il changé ou est-ce uniquement à Madère ?
Belle piscine, à l'ombre tout l'après-midi, ce qui peut être un avantahe quand il fait très chaud !

10/10 Så bra!

Dröm dröm dröm! Vi testade 5 olika hotell på vår resa till Madeira och detta var BÄST! Otroligt mysigt läge och eftersom det är få personal kändes det som vi hade hela huset för oss själva. Bilderna visar verkligen hur det ser ut på hotellet och stämmer överens med verkligheten.

Frukosten serveras i restaurangen och får 10/10. Varje kväll längtade vi efter morgondagens frukost. Det fanns stor variation av färka råvaror och vältillagade smårätter. Massor med frö och nötter till yoghurten och nybakade kakor. Vi fick även spela biljard på kvällarna i restaurangen även fast ingen personal var där.

Skulle jag åka tillbaka till Madeira är det här jag kommer bo!

Vi gick från Ponto de sol till hotellet och det tog över 1h och var väldigt brant. Därför skulle jag rekommendera att ha bil. Taxi kostade 10 euro från Ponto de sol.

Hemos pasado 4 noches en este maravilloso boutique hotel. Para algunos, puede que sea algo incómodo llegar o que tenga pocos restaurantes/tiendas cerca. Pero la verdad es que lo que ganas es mucho más. Las vistas del paisaje, desde las habitaciones o desde cualquier rincón de este lugar, son maravillosas. El territorio es muy bonito; te encuentras con muchos rincones donde puedes parar, sentarte, tomarte algo, leer un libro, lo que sea. Es muy, muy verde, con muchas plantas y flores, y es muy acogedor. Tiene piscina al aire libre (una pena que no la pudimos usar por el tiempo).
El hotel en sí está muy bien cuidado y tiene muy buen gusto. Para los que disfrutan de antigüedades y objetos antiguos, es un sitio perfecto. Tiene estilo, sentido y carácter, y es muy acogedor. Hay muchos detalles por descubrir en cada momento. Y lo que más me ha encantado es el comedor/restaurante: es un placer desayunar en un sitio tan, tan bonito.
Al ser 4 noches, me habría gustado que los desayunos fueran más diversos, aunque la comida era rica.
El personal fue muy amable y sonriente. Lo recomiendo a todos los que disfrutan de los detalles y la historia; otros lo pueden encontrar \"viejo/desgastado\"... pero vamos, lo que le da encanto. ¡Muy recomendable!

Ausgesprochen freundliches Personal. Wir haben schon wirklich viele Urlaube gemacht, aber hier noch nie hat uns jemand zum Geburtstag gratuliert. Vielen Dank! Geräumiges Zimmer und gutes Frühstück.Einziges Manko ist das fehlende WLAN auf den Zimmern.Tipp: Wer zum ersten Mal hinfährt sollte der Beschilderung an der Straße und nicht Google Maps folgen, denn der kürzeste Weg ist eng und steil.

Smukt hotel med fantastisk udsigt

Hotellet er smukt og placeringen fantastisk. Maden og service var i top.
Til gengæld mangler hotellet en kærlig hånd ift. renovering, hovedrengøring og komfort ift. behagelige stole i restaurant og udeområder.
I badeværelset manglede fx badeforhæng, nogle små ting, som let kunne udbedres ville højne opholdet betragteligt. Og så ville muligheden for køb af lokale vine til maden og eftermiddags drinken være prikken over i’et :)

Die Unterkunft ist einfach fantastisch.
Direkt wenn man auf den Parkplatz fährt sieht man eine tolle Sitzmöglichkeit unter einem Pavillon, die abends schön beleuchtet ist. Hier man eine gute Sicht bis zum Meer. Das Gebäude an sich bietet super viel. Vom Zimmer aus hatten wir einen tollen Blick auf den Pool und der Wintergarten in dem auch das Frühstück serviert wird ist einfach ein Traum! Vor unserem Balkon war ein riesen Avocadobaum und die geernteten Avocados gab es morgens zum Frühstück.
Absolut empfehlenswert, wenn jemand eine Unterkunft mit besonderem flair haben möchte.

Der Aufenthalt war eine wahre Freude. Wer ein Auto hat und somit flexibel ist, ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben!
Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und vor allem die öffentlichen Bereiche sehr liebevoll ausgestattet.
Sollte man einen Kritikpunkt finden wollen, so wäre einzig und allein die Dusche in unserem Zimmer zu erwähnen. Sie würde sich über eine neue Duschtasse, ein Ersetzen der fehlenden Fliesen und die Ansage zum Kampf gegen einsetzenden Schimmel aufgrund der Feuchtigkeit sehr freuen.

So lovely!

Quaint and just lovely. The restaurant has no menu but you get what they offer you on the day. It feels homemade which is nice. The view is excellent and the area is gorgeous. The room lacked vacuuming and was a bit worn, but no big deal. There are beautiful walks in the area - we easily made do without a car.

Hôtel super sympa avec une décoration très british. Le personnel est très gentil et aux petits soins avec les clients (Samantha géniale).
Reproches : pression d'eau trop faible et difficile à avoir de l'eau chaude, et insonorisation à revoir. Malgré cela, c'est hôtel vaut vraiment le coup d'y aller.

Hôtel dans une ancienne maison de maître, ambiance chaleureuse, beaucoup d'espace, un salon par étage, piscine, très calme. Parking fermé.
Deux petites remarques, l'eau chaude est longue à venir, l'entrée du parking un peu étroite.
