Very large house, pictures didn't do it justice. Great facilities for cooking and washing clothes. Great value as well.
Lovely private outdoor area to relax. Not far from Porto moniz for the pools, and a nice bar down the road for the best poncha in Madeira and close to the levada walk

The accomodation was amazing with a great location - in the middle of the countryside, super quiet. The apartment had everything we needed, the owner pays attention to the detail and was very friendly. Wish we stayed more days there.

You can tell from the interior that the apartments are still very new. Everything was clean and tidy. We especially loved the kitchen and how well equipped it was. Location is great, literally 150m from the natural pools. Contact through booking.com with owner and check-in/check-out worked perfectly.

Loved the sea pools, with cafe for after swim drinks. and the peaceful evening walks. Easy to catch a bus further afield. Harder to get to levada walks than I expected, and I would avoid the ones that come back down steep hills to coast - rough and dangerous surfaces

This is not a sand beach vacation.
This is not a sand beach vacation. There are tidal pools to swim in if the weather cooperates. Be aware that the north side of the island is cooler and more likely to rain. We enjoyed our 2 night stay by the ocean but that was enough

Very good base to explore north-west side of the island
Nice option if you want to cool down in the pool-there are actually 2 spots with ocean water, one more natural than the other, both can have better tourism services and catering options

A beautiful little town with the most beautiful swimming in Madeira in natural pools with sea water and sea fish. Protected from the waves and great for bathing and swimming, in a beautiful wild nature surrounded by rocks. Everything is close by car, the most beautiful levadas, the Fanal forest. Really spend more days.

We were driving around Madeira Island for 8 days & Porto Moniz was 1 of the most scenic area, beautiful rocky formations with the natural pools. We only stayed overnight, but wished we could have spent more time here, experience swimming the natural pools. Beautiful instamagramable picturisque views. We highly recommend Porto Moniz.

Porto Moniz is a tourist town in the far north of Madeira.
Porto Moniz is a tourist town in the far north of Madeira.
the ocean view is amazing.
The city has both natural and paid natural pools, where the only option is to swim.
if you are a fish lover, there are really many good restaurants in this city.
for us, the tastiest fish was Espada.
It is also a great place to visit the Fanal forest, the Telegrafico gondola and the Rabacal area.
for us, who are fans of bends, steep roads, beautiful nature and of course the sea, this part of the island was the most beautiful.
House has all the comforts of a family vacation home, spacious well equipped kitchen, private lounging bbq patio, family room… parking driveway is a little tight but still very nice to be off street. Beautiful views, quiet locale but also close to nearby attractions, grocery and restaurant. The drive to and from property is hilly and sharp turn at places, can take getting used to but not unusual for Madeira. Silvia the host is very responsive, kind and welcoming, checkin and out was simple and easy. Wonderful stay! Highly recommend.
The tenants are very comprehensive. I was stuck at
Madeira for 2 days during a correspondence and had almost no
money and no one there. They took me from the airport
and made my stay a real dream : they took me to beautiful
places, gave me food and everything almost for free.
The place is not like a fancy hotel but if you are looking to
experience REAL Madeira, this place is perfect for you.
That know all the places that tourists don’t know and they are kind
That literally saved me from the nightmare I was living.
Everything!! From the beginning until the end the staff is very polite and professional and the room is in perfect condition. The location is just wonderful with the view of sea and natural pools.
Me and my boyfriend appreciated the surprises and the whole service.
We went there on our first night in Madeira and we booked our last night in the same hotel in order to feel relaxed and happy the same way again.
100% would recommend and we would come back soon hopefully!
This was the definetly the best stay of our Madeira trip (out of 3 accomodations). The hosting family made us feel like at home and even gave us a ride to one of the levadas! It was also great talking to them about life on Madeira. There is nothing I would change about the apartment we got, it had all that we needed. Porto Moniz is an amazing and quiet village and if you want to have a really pleasurable stay, Costa Azul is a great choice.
We have chosen this accommodation for the second time. The suite is extra large, has two terraces with a fantastic view of Porto Moniz. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, there is a microwave oven as well as a dishwasher and a washing machine. There is a fireplace in the living room for cold evenings. The beds are comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by a bottle of Madeira wine and cookies prepared for us. Thank you :-)
Wonderful house, well designed and furnished with everything needed for a week-long stay. The location was perfect—close enough to Porto Moniz amenities but still very quiet and relaxing. We really appreciated the opportunity to explore a different side of the island, having previously stayed mostly in the south. The host was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again when back in Madeira.
The staff were absolutely first rate and anticipated all our needs. Beautifully clean, with a fantastic view from the balcony and the sound of Atlantic breakers day and night. Breakfast on the terrace of the restaurant at sunrise and swimming in the lava pools beneath our balcony in the middle of October.
We really miss it!
The gentleman running the hotel was really kind and sweet, you can tell he really cares about the place. The location in the town was perfect, with great views of the mountain and ocean. the room was super clean and seemed newly renovated. For the value, the room really exceeded my expectations.
Very large house, pictures didn't do it justice. Great facilities for cooking and washing clothes. Great value as well.
Lovely private outdoor area to relax. Not far from Porto moniz for the pools, and a nice bar down the road for the best poncha in Madeira and close to the levada walk
We stayed at Studios by Aqua Natura Hotels for 2 nights and could have not liked it more. From the beautiful facilities to the excellent room (if you can stay at room 210), we could not be more happy. Special Kudos to Mr. Francisco who was a super nice and attentive person.
The hotel is in a central location and everything is within walking distance. Furthermore it has two parking places which makes it easy to park and move around the area. Also the bedrooms are huge, they easily fit 3 people or a dog :D
It is a good location to explore the north of Madeira. Some shops and restaurants are available close to the apartments. We really liked the garden and the shared living room. Nice to have breakfast. Good value for money.
The hotel is ideally located in Porto Moniz, almost in front of the natural pools and not far from all other attractions such as restaurants and bars. A public parking is available nearby. Staff is very helpful.
Great location. It was more than we expected.
Everything close by - swimming pools and market.
It was very good choice. We wish owner to put more pictures from balcony- view of the ocean is amazing!
Location is 10/10 - right next to the natural pools. All natural pools in porto moniz are open to the public. Has also a Spa, and has a pool on the rooftop. Super clean, insane view from the balcony
Clean and quiet rooms, tasty breakfast. Hotel is situated in very nice part of Porto Moniz. Many people can also appreciate 10% discount in hotel restaurant (we love local food) and souvenir shop.
Great location for access to the natural pools and the additional hotel facilities are awesome! Perfect for a little spa break. They also surprised me with a birthday cake during breakfast.
