The silence was deafening and very therapeutic in both abode and in Sao Vincente itself. The guest house was fantastic in everyway in terms of facilities, location, aesthetics and the scenery it offered. It is run/owned by a very helpful, social and laid back guy who goes out his way to oblige. Sao Vincente is small but offers a multitude of facilities in terms eateries, pubs and cafes all at affordable prices (cheap as chips really). For athletic types there are very scenic walks/runs, good mountain biking routes and some surfing going on. Lastly if your feeling the pressure I suggest this is the place to come to relieve that stress.

Amazing view. Good facilities. Unique decor.

Just be aware it's not too close to the town, there are some snack bars nearby. I managed to visit without a car but i would not recommend unless you are fit and don't have many bags.

This is a lovely little homestay/hostel in the heart of São Vicente and about 6 minutes (by car) from the beach. Very handy access to all places on the north coast! SO CLEAN The shared bathroom was very (++) clean which was nice because I don’t usually do shared bathrooms. The kitchen was terrific, exceptionally well-stocked with all the necessities and a few nice little extras. Take advantage of it! Guests were very respectful and the area is nice and quiet with just a few sheep bleating to lull you to sleep. The view is fantastic, and Joakim is a great host, as well.

Everything was great!

Very clean and lovely place, fully equipped kitchen even the basics for cooking including oil, pepper and salt. There is a laundry service for a decent price and very flexible and nice staff. We really enjoyed sitting out at the terras. Really an amazing place. Would definitely recommend.

We had a double room with private bathroom. There is a floorboard in the bathroom which doesn’t completely connect to the floor, which is why it collects water and that way the bathroom floor is never really dry. It was also hard to reach the sockets next to the bed as they are behind the nightstand and there is only one, so you have to choose between your night stand light or charging.

I had an amazing time at this Guest House. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with beautifully decorated rooms that were spotless and comfortable. The host was incredibly warm and attentive, offering great local tips and making sure I had everything I needed. The location was perfect—peaceful yet close to major attractions. The view of the mountains and the sea are breathtaking. The stay felt like a home away from home, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

I liked everything

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this Guest House and regretted not being able to stay longer. The facilities are fantastic, with a fully equipped kitchen, designated refrigerator shelves for each room, and a terrace offering breathtaking views of both the mountains and the sea. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, perfect for unwinding. My room was modern, comfortable, and well-appointed. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would love to return!

All was good :)

Great place to stay in Sao Vicente - nice and quite house with amazing view with all equipment which you need. The location is perfect to plane hikes (amazing levada faja de rodriguez is really nearby). Perfect place to stay for everybody ( family, group of friends, solo traveller, couples) - the house is really spaceous. The owner of this house is really helpfull during all our stay - we are really thankfull, that we can meet somebody like him. We stayed there just for 2 days (1 week trip to Madeira), but definetely not for the last time. Thanks for such a great experience.

Abolutely nothing

The guest house is a gem on the hills above Sao Vicente. The area is very chill, so you can have a deep relaxation after/before hiking or surfing. The main grocery store is in 10 minutes walk, the bus also stops relatively close by. So the place is absolutely fine without a car. The kitchen was a very nice surprise, as the owners shared everything that you would need for cooking (basic spices, baking sheet, olive oil and all sorts of tools). The terraces are cute and cosy.

It was beautiful! Lovely location that felt still close to things but peaceful and quiet. The private room was great and the view from the room was lovely, but also it was really nice to have a big and fully equipped kitchen to share. Everything was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

Honestly everything was really great. It was a tiny bit cold but that was so minor. Would highly recommend to anyone!

In total, we changed five accommodations on our 7 day trip to Madeira. I rate this accommodation as the best of all. The owner and his very friendly nature contributed to this. He accommodated us with everything, fulfilled everything we needed in a fairly short time. I love this accommodation and if we return to Madeira we will definitely visit this town and accommodation again. I recommend this accommodation to everyone who wants to have a wonderful time in São Vicente

That we only stayed two nights :)
