This hotel is in excellent condition. It has many of the amenties that you would want in a small inn. The breakfast is ok but make sure that you ask for extras such as eggs made to order. The staff are indifferent and don't readily provide information regarding Madeira. The location is out of the way and one requires a... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for review posted on tripadvisor. As you mention Santo da Serra can be perfect for a quite retreat away of normal busy life of the main towns. Santo da Serra can be also ideal for golfers and nature lovers, as the hotel is located in a central mountain area near of some of the best levadas... More

All the rooms with new décor and amenities so if you have enjoyed your previous stay you will... More

I stayed here for 1 night on a trip for observation of the flora of the natural forest that still exists in Madeira, and also some levada walking. The hotel itself is a beautiful building, a type of a manor house where a new block of rooms was built in the back part of the land. Both are connected through... More

Like many other reviewers we used this hotel as part of a walking holiday and can only echo their enthusiasm for the building, the staff and the quality and food served there. W'd happily return but if we did so we'd be a bit more wary of the local mosquitos. It was only after a sleepless night of bites that... More

We stayed here for 3 nights on a walking holiday - we were walking the levadas. The hotel itself is a beautiful building, spotlessly clean, well kept, very individual. The service could be described as quirky, but pleasantly so. The staff, especially Sonia, were attentive and friendly and very helpful. The evening meal, 18.90 euros for 3 courses, was from... More

We decided this weekend to go for a night and stay at Serra Golf with our 2 children. We arrived Friday afternoon and had a delicious tea with fresh scones and home made jam (the plum and kiwi jam was to die for). The hotel is a beautiful fusion of an old Deco house with a tastefully added new wing... More

We were on a hiking holiday and sadly the weather was awful: rain and dense fog. This happens a lot here, which I was not aware of. The hotel is luxurious with well equipped rooms and heating to dry off your walking gear. The food is outstanding with a long standing residence cook from the (boring) village of Santo da... More

The hotel used to be a tea house back in the 1920's and it is owned by the same family for generations. The manor house was completey refurbished, maintaining all the features on the outside and some improvments inside. The manor house has suites and the other rooms were built on the back of the land and are connected to... More

My wife and I enjoyed the hospitality of Jose and his staff during a recent walking holiday in Madeira. At the end of a great day's walking, we were personally greeted and escorted to our room. The quiet, the orderliness and the super food/varied menus in the well-appointed dining room are worth returning for. We had a lovely 2-night stay. More
