The Quinta was very nice. Bed was extremely comfortable. There was a fireplace but we didn't use. Beautiful flowers around the grounds. The location is up in the mountains about 1/2 hour from Funchal. There was a Sunday market in town as well as some small markets and places to eat. A storm Monday night took out the electricity when we awoke in the morning. Very clean place and lots of room. We had a 1 bedroom unit. Was great to have a kitchen and fridge to make coffee in the morning.

The chalet was spacious, clean and comfortable and even with the windows open at night the aircraft noise did not disrupt my sleep though I was bothered by mosquitoes on my last night.
Lovely to have use of a washing machine and detergent and to have a drying rack available in the chalet.

Santa Cruz is a small seaside village at the end of the runway. There are enough cafes and restaurants to keep you occupied along with some nice little parks and a good play ground if you have kids. The weather is just perfect.

Very good service by everybody, even the manager helped me get my car out, the breakfast staff did food for my special needs, the reception were very welcoming, it was clean & modern & I liked the mint water & that the hotel has a private garage. Very good standard close to the airport & the small town center. Only minus was that I'd wished for a heated jacuzzi .-)

Nice village from were to start exploring the eastern part of Madeira. The airport and the motorway are nearby and you'll be in Funchal in 30min. by car. There isn't much to do in Santa Cruz but there is a few bars and restaurants to enjoy the evening, a public swimming pool, a couple of shops and you can spend some time on the beach.

The house located between Garajau and Canico.
The house located between Garajau and Canico. Cristo Rei in Garajau is a must to visit. Here hop on the cable car and take a look to Garajau beach. The beach is stony, there're much more nicer beaches to visit. Worth to eat at Talho do Canico, a tarditional grill bar in the centre of Canico. Taste tangerine poncha in La Carbonara in Garajau, the closest bar to the house. If you visit Madeira in April don't miss out the flower carneval in Funchal! Visit Sanatana to see the old traditional triangle shaped houses and visit Faial and Porto Moniz for the spectacular beach views.

I would say, Santa Cruz is not worth visiting unless you have an early flight... There is nothing special to see. The Palm beach does not seem very nice and clean (there are big black stones on the beach - they are not comfortable to lay and to go to swim). The marina is quite short and it finishes by the swimming pool and the akvapark, but they were closed in March. I had a dinner at the restaurant Biletheira and the tuna steak was really good (12 Eur)! Santa Cruz is very near Funchal, so you can go to Funchal by bus and you can spend your time in the capital city.MigleLithuania

- 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 790 reviewsThe stay at this hostel exceeded our expectations. We chose it because of its location near the airport. Initially we were afraid of the noise but in our room we did not hear any noise from the airplanes nor the restaurants and the beaches that surround it. Very comfortable beds and a very good location. Best nights slept on the islands were in this hotel. Bus Expresso to Funchal and Machico is only 5min away by foot. Very underrated accomodation where we very much enjoyed our (short) stay. Aircon was a very precious plus, game changing !
HafsaBelgium - 9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 37 reviewsBeautiful apartment, spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed and lots of fluffy white towels. Everything you could possibly need for a two week stay. A short walk to all the bars and restaurants in the little town of Santa Cruz. The owner was very pleasant and helpful and the apartment was cleaned , beds and towels changed, mid stay. You can get to Funchal on the local bus, but Santa Cruz is a good place to stay if you have a car, easy access to the main road s around the island. Highly recommend this apartment, quiet, clean and comfortable.
GillianUnited Kingdom - 6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 67 reviewsLocation is the best advantage of this apartment. Close to the airport (even on foot), close to the beach (rocky), 20 minutes by car to Funchal. Santa Cruz is a nice and silent city with several good restaurants and rocky beach. Apartment offers good view on planes landing at the airport, and great view on the ocean. There are washing machine and dishwasher, which are useful in case of longer stay. Garage parking lot is also very convenient.

sherryUnited States of America - 8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 71 reviewsGorgeous apartment in a great location just a short walk from Santa Cruz town. The family who own the apartment live upstairs in a separate property and couldn't do enough for us! They drove us back up the hill one evening after dinner and to the airport on our last day. We would totally recommend staying here and the restaurants in Santa Cruz are fantastic!DavidGarwoodUnited Kingdom
- From $59.20 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,018 reviewsRoom was very clean and comfortable. There was a small balcony where we enjoy the landscape. The beach was very close to the hotel and there are lots of the restaurants around the area. We could find even the municipal swimming poll close to the location so even if there were big waves on the ocean we were be able to swim.
IancuRomania - 8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,501 reviewsThe location of the property was ideal as our flight arrived late and they have a 24 reception service. Nice location too in terms of being close to Funchal but not in it and in an elevated setting in Santa Cruz. Great room, nice staff, excellent food.
