My partner and I stayed at the Hotel Pico Da Urze for a week in April 2011. I specifically chose this hotel because it had good reviews, was centrally located for touring the island and seemed quite good value in comparison to the cost of many other hotels and quintas. We did arrange car hire in advance and thought it... More

Perfect spot for exploring the upper parts of Madeira, getting a rest from city racket and enjoying good food and local hospitality. The place is by all means outstanding with both friendliness of the staff and spectacularity of local scenery. Definitely worth recommending to all mountain-loving tourists and not only them. More

Stayed here for two nights as part of a tour of the island. Not what I expected at all!! Really helpful and friendly staff. Unusual restaurants, one serving local food, the other "different" to say the least. Like being in a rain forest. Really good though. All staff were really nice. Walking in the area is good, but take a... More

I planned a trip to Maderia for a while, in April 2011 I arrived at HOTEL PICO dA URZE. The location is stunning, I knew it was remote, I would not change a thing. Funchal OK but busy, not for me! {40 minutes by good driver from base 75.00 Euro or sharred lift!} Some of Madeira's prettiest scenery on the... More

The location is isolated and you really need a car if you are staying here. However, this did mean that it was quiet and peaceful The staff are without exception very friendly and helpful- nothing seems too much trouble. The rooms are comfortable without being exceptional and are very clean. We had a balcony overlooking the Paul da Serra, which... More

This Hotel failed to meet my expectations. The location is unique, not above the clouds as the hotel describes - but in the clouds. The staff tell us this in the case for at least 10 months of the year. Whilst the location is useful if you are planning to walk it is far from the cozy retreat we had... More

I was welcomed at reception by a charming lady (didn`t get her name) who spoke impeccable english and could not have been more helpful as were the rest of the staff dedicated to their job and customers. In the restaurant on cooler evenings there was always a heater close by to make me feel comfortable. I went to Madeira, for... More

For a cheap break, this was an absolute gem of a hotel. Our family of 4 stayed in two adjacent double rooms, each with plenty of room and (when the clouds went away) a lovely view to the distant sea. An amazing buffet breakfast is included in the rate. In the evening, there is a log fire in the guests'... More
