Villa Alto Boutique Hotel

The location is amazingly located with beautiful views. For the rainy days it is super comfy to just hangout in the beautiful house and it's spacious living room. The fact is has to be absolutely highlighted!! The breakfast and dinner ist outstanding quality and for the prices just incomparable. The stuff is super nice and supportive. A perfect hide away experience! Thank you!

We took it for our last two nights to relax and enjoy stunning ocean views from the pool and the balcony. We spent one whole day doing nothing but swimming, having sauna, drinks and the dinner at Villa Alta and it was simply fantastic. After 5 days driving around the island it was really nice to laid back over there and doing nothing but relaxing. The villa is charming and has a character, every room there has its own style, whether it is bar, main lounge with chimney, restaurant or your own room. It makes you want to spend some time in each area and feel the atmosphere. There is a honesty bar where you serve yourself with local drinks and leave notes what you consumed. Basically, the whole idea is built on trust, so you can feel like you stay at your own house. It is simply cool, I wish there would be more hotels like this. The staff is extremely kind and helpful, ladies helped us to feel maximum comfort and were very attentive to our requests. Breakfast is reach and tasty, every day they offer something new, which is good. You can book dinner in advance as well, there is a menu for every day so you can decide whether you dine there or going somewhere else. Dinner is simple but tasty, we were satisfied. We would be happy to come back one day and experience the highest hospitality and kindness of the people working there for you. We had a great time, thank you, Villa Alto! In our room was a carpet which I would throw away as it has stains and dirty spots, it ruins a bit an impression of a room in general which is stylish and has a character of old times. Jacuzzi in the pool area was out of the order. We called the phone given at the reception and on the webpage 4 times during the day and only on 5th time somebody answered later in the evening. Do not wait that somebody will come down to the reception if you ring the bell, ladies have lots of work and simply cannot come immediately, better go and find them, it will be faster. Getting there is not the easiest way but it worth it after all, roads are quite steep, so you better be careful, not driving too fast. Parking is small and requires some skills to getting in and out. Maybe easier to leave your car outside. Best way to rent a car with automatic gear, yes, you pay more but trust me, it will save you so much nerves driving at Madeira. It will pay off in the end. Enjoy your stay!
