Charming and spotless, this lovely hotel looks out at the ocean. Our apartment, with it’s full kitchen and living area had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. The rooms, though basic, were well furnished, and comfortable. Loads of storage space, and tons of light. Our small balcony overlooked the pool, and beyond that we could see the chapel, the cliffs, and the water. The view is magnificent! We took full advantage of the restaurant, and ended our days on the patio chatting with the other guests and enjoying really delicious food. The staff are absolutely lovely, and the owners are fantastic. They’re friendly, thoughtful, fun, and very willing to accommodate all the guests needs. We also took advantage of the pool (it was too pretty to pass up, even in April) and it was fabulous. The town was also very enjoyable. Small enough to walk, and large enough to provide all the essentials. Many hikes nearby, as well. We spent only a few days, but would have been happy to stay longer. Casa Capelinha makes a great home base for exploring, as well as a wonderful place to sit back and relax amidst the gorgeous scenery.

“Paradise!”

This is the best hotel in the world!! We don’t want to leave. The owners are wonderful people. This hotel is highly recommended !we will return in January. The peaceful atmosphere is priceless, coupled with the views.

“No tourists to be seen.”

Good hotel. Lovely location with the ocean to the front and thousand foot hills behind. Lots of plants and greenery. With the plants comes a few insects, spiders, birds and lizards everywhere. OMG LIZARDS ARE EVERYWHERE! Quite a few hills to navigate but the area is fairly flat by Madeira standard… more

Good hotel. Lovely location with the ocean to the front and thousand foot hills behind. Lots of plants and greenery. With the plants comes a few insects, spiders, birds and lizards everywhere. OMG LIZARDS ARE EVERYWHERE! Quite a few hills to navigate but the area is fairly flat by Madeira standards. At the front there is a huge open swimming pool. The hotel has a small pool as well. The beach is volcanic and not worth thinking about . A church down at the front is really worth a visit to look at the inside paintwork. There are about 6 bars and about thre same amount of shops. There is one big hotel at the waterfront but we never saw anybody from the hotel in the week we were there. We sat at the petrol station with the old men (who played dominoes) with our beers bought from the station watching the cars go by - at least one car every 5 minutes - somethimes the same car. The fastest thing in this town was when I offered to buy all the old men a beer. This place brought memories of the film "Local Hero" with Burt Lancaster. Food at the Hotel was first class. Prices at the bars were local prices ie 1 euro a drink. The local Mateus Rose wine was about 3 - 4 euros a bottle and 10 at the hotel. We saw the same "stray" dog everywhere and on questioning the locals - the dog was shared by everybody. Same went with the cats. Downside - not as hot and dry as the south of the island otherwise almost perfect. We go back next year.
