Domus Dino, hotel in Porto da Cruz

Domus Dino is located in Porto da Cruz, just a 2-minute walk from Maiata Beach and 500 yards from Alagoa Beach.

We hadn’t stayed in Porto da Cruz before, it’s a quaint little surf town on the coast. The house is older but in a great location for anyone who wants to get around without using a car. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, the beds were really hard so be prepared. Check out Dino’s Bar right under the house, fantastic poncha and a nice location for walking.

Santana in Nature Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Porto da Cruz

1.8 miles from Santana's Traditional Houses in Santana, Santana in Nature Bed & Breakfast features accommodations with access to a hot tub, spa facilities, and open-air bath.

The woman who checked us in and later served us at the restaurant was so lovely. Friendly and funny. I’m sorry I can’t accurately remember her name. Elina? If we ever return to Madeira she is the number one reason we will choose Santana in Nature.

    Beautifully situated little village with everything you need...

    Beautifully situated little village with everything you need for a "slow life" relaxing, stress free stay! We visited almost all costal villages in Madera, and Porto da Cruz is by far our favourite!!!! We love this place and keep coming back here! :) Also, the is the best restaurant ever, A Pipa! Thoroughly recommended!

    A small but very cozy town.

    A small but very cozy town. Has few local supermarkets, few good restaurants and snack bars with a perfect food. Amazing rock views. Also you must visit a Madeira rum factory, that is located in this town and taste it. This town has 2 beaches and 1 local natural pool.

    Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea.

    Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea. Excellent restaurants serving fresh, traditional food at very reasonable prices. Great sea water swimming pool and coastline walks. Not easy if you’re using public transport as buses are infrequent.

    Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills...

    Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills and sheer cliffs. Magnificent scenery around. Ideal for surfers. Pleasant climate when we visited in April. Flowers all around in full bloom. If you're looking for an active holiday hiking in nature and tranquil evenings, this is the place to come. Having a head for heights is a bonus. Or take gentler trails to get used to sometimes dizzying drops at your own pace. We stayed outside of Porto da Cruz in a little house about 20 mins walk away nestling on a green hill that sloped gently into a valley. Small streams abound taking water down to the sea. Expect birdsong everywhere, especially in the mornings punctuated with cocks crowing from small farmsteads peppered around the slopes. Frogs also joined in with their springtime mating calls trilling the air. Food was simple but from high quality local produce. We'd recommend this area and a visit to Madeira to those needing to get back to nature and a sustainable approach to life. Not too much litter in and around the town. Either local groups clearing up or tourists in general are conscious and careful to respect the natural beauty of the environment by leaving as little trace of their passing as possible.

    Large house with everything you may possibly need during your stay. Big balcony in the back with a beautiful view and a fireplace, great for eating outside. Parking place in front of the house. The owner was very nice to us, gave us fruit and vegetables from his own garden and even his own wine, which were all delicious. We were very satisfied, definitely recommend it. Porto da Cruz is also very nice place to stay overall, it's not crowded but has beaches and seawater pools, restaurants, shops, a distillery, and so on in the center.

    We highly appreciated the clean rooms, the nicely smelling towels and bedclothes and the sound of the sea at night while sleeping. Since it was October, one could easily sleep with open windows, since the streets were kinda "dead" from 22:00 on. Also, it's nice to have a fridge in the room :) Tea accessories and careproducts for the shower were offered. Breakfast was appropriate for a two-star-hotel, though we've had better ones for the same or even lower price as well.

    The location. We loved coming “home” to Porto da Cruz. Great and friendly people, good local food, and rainbows every day-usually doubles! The space was terrific, beds very comfortable and plenty of hot water. We had planned hikes in the northeast while there and very happy everything was within 20 minutes drive. Luna was a fabulous host, very responsive and made us feel so relaxed.

    We enjoyed the light, the space and the comfort in Mateus House very much and had a great time in Porto da Cruz. The location of the place is perfect, very close to the local bakery and the beach, for example, with a wonderful view from the big terrace to the mountains and the sea. The house is well equipped with everything you need during a vaccation (even surfboards and bikes).

    The house is located at the edge of the village to Porto da Cruz (5 mins downhill walk to village). The village is very cute, with a lovely natural salt water swimming pool maintained by local municipal (1.5€ for the adults), a few reasonable restaurants at the seafront, a bakery, and a supermarket. The house has a lovely garden and beautiful seaview.

    The studio is set up well - everything you need and very organized. Located close to a mini-mercado for conveniences. Just a short 5 minute drive to beautiful Porto Da Cruz and the surf spots. The studio is very clean and comfortable. There were a lot of thoughtful touches like a drying rack for clothes.

    The location was nice. But the town is really small so we had limited options but this is not the fault of the hotel. The staff were friendly. The breakfast options were small but enough to make you happy. And they tasted good. We always appreciate to have a good shower and bathtub.

    We were extremely happy with everything. A car is useful if you stay here to visit other parts of the island. You can easily walk to Porto da Cruz and the beaches around. Helpful and kind property owner made sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back.
