Encumeada

On hike adventure entering in a rainy day great location and good breakfast and dinner so far great. Missed stuff like a watercooker and chill out zone to enjoy a boring day because of bad weather

It was great, everyone was really polite and helpful and the breakfast was amazing and delicious!

This hotel is the only one in the area, so if you are walking and it meets your location requirements, then it is perfect. Food was good, service excellent and it was a very clean hotel, I had a large room (although the mattress was harder than my liking). Breakfast was fine and I was able to get a packed lunch for the following day. It was excellent value.

Ottimo hotel appena sotto Boca de Encumeada (480 mt). Anche il bus ferma nelle vicinanze, ma il personale dà un passaggio, se serve. Gentilissimi Le camere sono grandi, spaziose, pulite e calde. Colazione ottima, nel nostro caso eravamo solo in 5 nell'hotel quindi per ogni extra si poteva chiedere. Ex uova strapazzate, pancetta. Pancakes od altro. Si possono ordinare panini da portare via (packed lunch), state attenti con il pane. Loro scrivono SANDWICH ed è con il nostro pane bauletto. Dite che volete il pan in cassetta fatto in casa. Quello è ottimo. Cena ottima con varie scelte. Prezzi ottimi. Per l'aperitivo c'è un piccolo bar con delle birre artigianali di Madeira. Ottimi. Consiglio vivamente questo albergo!

Schade, dass das Hotel nicht so gut ist, wie das Restaurant zum Frühstück oder Abend. Eine Jugendherberge hat einen besseren Standard. Den Lüfter im Bad hat man wegen Hellhörigkeit wohl ausgeschaltet, dafür hat man Schimmel an der Decke und den Fugen. Nach längerer Wanderung war das Duschen mit kaltem Wasser an beiden Tagen eine Herausforderung. Zum Glück gab es wenigstens Wolldecken. Im Bett konnte man erst schlafen, wenn der letzte seine Holztür zugeknallt hat und dann nur unter Schmerzen, weil es so durchgelegen war. Auch das Personal am Empfang war sehr wortkarg. Lasst euch lieber mit Bolt zur Wanderung fahren, anstatt sich das anzutun.

Back to my 'home' on Madeira 800 metres high in the mountains ... Made very welcome by all the staff by name (as usual). There has been much refurbishment of publc ares mirroring the lush greenery of the surrounding hills. The sun shone for the entire fortnight. Clouds flowing over the mountains can be spectacular. It was quiet at the weekends this time .. no wedding parties. The self service buffet gave a good choice. The salads were very good. The short, a la carte menu is 'work-in- hand' and was freshly made to order. Helpings were large. My reservatioon for next year was made before I left.
