I have stayed at the Village in December/January for 4 consecutive years now. It is a lovely location and it has beautifully kept gardens and is spotlessly clean. The only drawbacks are that the the restaurant food is average but expensive and the bars on the site are also very expensive. This means that the areas where you would socialise... More

Like other reviewers we enjoyed the intimacy of this hotel, compared with the larger more modern cousins in this group. We had a beautiful room, (Superior Studio) at the front, overlooking the sea (and the Reid's Hotel!) and enjoyed great peace and quiet. We stayed 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year with a package from Jet2, and have to... More

Needing a sun break from North Yorkshire, UK, we picked Madeira as our destination of choice for Christmas week. We reviewed many properties on Trip Advisor and picked Pestana Village because it seemed smaller and more intimate than some of the huge resorts. We really enjoyed the room and the atmosphere of the resort. They had plenty of activities and... More

This was our 14th visit to Madeira since 1995 and our sixth stay at the Village in the last three years, all during the winter (November/February) and in the hotel not the timeshare apartments. We have stayed in many other Funchal hotels, including Pestana ones, but this is our favourite. It is excellent value and we love the low-rise buildings... More

The combination of a good friend living there and reasonably priced flights (thanks Easyjet) we were tempted to make a trip there in September 2011. As RCI members, we located the Pestana Village as the most likely resort to stay in... More

Initially we were appointed a basement apartment that had a 'lovely fern & ivy covered' stone wall in front, but was dark and was overlooked. We saw the Resort Rep the following day... More

This was our first holiday abroad as a family so wanted somewhere quiet and self catering just to keep it easy. The apartment was big, had a small kitchen area that didnt spoil the room and a clean and easy to use bathroom. Hot water even early in the morning. The room maids came every day and did a good...
