Pestana Fisherman Village

Great little hotel tucked away in the cobbled streets. It was very clean and we were well looked after. The breakfasts were very good with a large selection of fruits, cereals, cheeses, hams etc and even dinky pastel de natas. There was a band playing in the local street on the Saturday, we could hear it from the room but it wasn’t too loud. The swimming pool is on the roof and is tiny, but being November we had it to ourselves ( it was that cold!)

We stayed here recently, a family of 4, 2 rooms and thought the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were very clean and modern. We had 2 rooms overlooking the street and were concerned after reading the reviews about street/bar noise at night, but we needn’t have worried. The windows are very well sound proofed and didn’t hear a thing! The bed was very comfortable and the rain shower was perfect. The swimming pool on the roof was just perfect to cool off after sunbathing and the hotel staff very helpful. They explained how the bus’s worked to Funchal and made it very easy. My only slight criticism, is the hotel bar. It’s very limited and part of reception, so is not ideal. I feel the hotel is missing out on not having a proper bar, especially with the large communal areas, but then there are a dozen bars within a minutes walk, so is not really a problem! Can’t wait to go back.

What a beautiful setting relaxed unhurried. All staff were helpful and went above and beyond. Breakfast was excellent plenty of choice and good quality served with a smile. It was replenished so you never went to the counter and found things missing. Breakfast was served 7:30 to 10:30 so no rushing to make breakfast. The room and bed very comfortable. The pool area was again peaceful. The building has been renovated to a high a sympathetic standard. Plenty of restaurants just outside the door. Felt part of the village

Excellent hotel right in the centre of Camara de Lobos. We had a courtyard room, which was clean, modern and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was perfect: warm breads, hot & cold choices, fruit & cereals. The staff were friendly & helpful. Location was perfect for us with lots of good restaurants nearby & easy 2 minute walk to the footpath into Funchal. The rooftop terrace & pool were perfect to relax in the sun with a view of the harbour. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and cannot wait to come back.

This was my first time in Madeira and we opted to not stay in Funchal but in this little fishing village - it was a great decision! Location is fantastic, you walk outside the door and you are surrounded by friendly bars and restaurants, and a 2 minute walk to the stunning harbour. Funchal is less than 15 minutes in a taxi or a lovely walk along the coast. Breakfast was lovely with a lot of choice. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms were cleaned to a high standard. I celebrated my 30th birthday whilst I was at the hotel and came back to my room to find a bottle of bubbly and a card - my family assured me that no one had asked for this so this was a lovely touch from the staff. The rooftop pool is lovely, there is no bar up there but you are welcome to bring your own drinks/snacks but no glassware. Our room was on the first floor so our balcony was eye level with the street with bars and restaurants on so was noisy on the weekend, this wasn’t a problem for me but if you are a slight sleeper - bring earplugs! Would definitely return! Thank you :)

Wow , Wow & Wow, This is Great Hotel. Staff - Excellent Location - Excellent Rooms - Excellent Beds - As comfy as I’ve known Breakfast - Excellent Pool - Excellent Walk out the Hotel and your are straight into a bustling Fishing Village with great and very reasonably priced Bars & Restaurants, The place is busy enough to provide a great atmosphere, but not so busy as to be overwhelming. Funchal is short Taxi ride away or a nice coastal walk away. Highly recommended 👍
