A pleasant little place to walk around with many bars and restaurants plus shops and friendly locals. You can make short bus or taxi trips to Machico and other nearby places and the Airport is about a 10 minute drive away.

Very sweet, clean village with friendly people (but not in-your-face). Lots of bars and restaurants, reasonably priced. Lovely wine, good food and some nice boutiques too. Easy to get to Funchal on buses and there are also plenty of taxis. Its minutes from the airport and planes fly very low overhead but it is spectacular to see without being too noisy. Loved it.

Beautiful island

Beautiful island If you are driving in Funchal please make sure you have good directions. Google maps do not work right up in the neighborhoods in the hills. Rent mall car as roads are very narrow and winding

Santa Cruz is a small seaside village at the end of the runway. There are enough cafes and restaurants to keep you occupied along with some nice little parks and a good play ground if you have kids. The weather is just perfect.

Very good service by everybody, even the manager helped me get my car out, the breakfast staff did food for my special needs, the reception were very welcoming, it was clean & modern & I liked the mint water & that the hotel has a private garage. Very good standard close to the airport & the small town center. Only minus was that I'd wished for a heated jacuzzi .-)

Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed and lots of fluffy white towels. Everything you could possibly need for a two week stay. A short walk to all the bars and restaurants in the little town of Santa Cruz. The owner was very pleasant and helpful and the apartment was cleaned , beds and towels changed, mid stay. You can get to Funchal on the local bus, but Santa Cruz is a good place to stay if you have a car, easy access to the main road s around the island. Highly recommend this apartment, quiet, clean and comfortable.

The staff was very friendly and helped as very much. I got injured the first night and they were really kind and helped us out. They always gave us the information to our destinations we asked for. The Hotel was located at the beach which was beautiful. The hotel itself had an restaurant which was very good.Funchal is only a 30 min bus ride away.
