São Lourenço Guest House

Todo

Das Zimmer mit Balkon hatte eine tolle Aussicht mit Blick auf Sao Lourenco. In wenigen Minuten war man mit dem Auto im nächsten Supermarkt. Nach der Erkundung von Madeira konnte man sich am Pool und im Whirlpool gut erholen

emplacement idéal, jolie chambre toute équipée, petite cuisine, spacieuse, piscine, sauna et jaccusi …pas eu le temps d’en profiter !

Petit bémol pour les chambres côtés routes car il y a du bruit et pas mal de circulation. Privilégiez côtés merci! Vue fantastique !Équipement cuisine à compléter un peu 😉

Fin utsikt, men då valde vi rum med havsutsikt. Personalen va bra

Svårt med parkeringar vid huset, trångt och mkt trafikerad väg men finns gott om nedanför ca 200m. Saknar fläkt i taket.

Das Personal war Hammer. Sehr nett zuvorkommend und hat immer geholfen

La maison en elle même et ses extérieurs. Très confortable et jolie. Le personnel était très agréable.

Les seuls points négatifs que nous pouvons relever sont : - Le parking : il n’est pas toujours évident de se garer à côté de la maison. Il y a des places au bord de la route et un petit parking une centaine de mètres plus bas, mais la route est un peut dangereuse pour aller jusqu’à la maison. - Pour la chambre : tout était parfait, sauf des remontées d’odeurs dans la salle de bain.

Het terras en het uitzicht, alsook de extra handdoeken en badjas voor zwembad

Appartement aan de kleine kant, weinig bewegingsruimte. Service in de keuken was vuil, alles eerst moeten afwassen voor gebruik. Badkamer is zeer klein. Alsook was er een conciërge aanwezig die steeds naar podcast op zijn gsm luisterde op speaker met een luid volume. Als je ging zwemmen zat hij ook gewoon toe te kijken.

uitzicht

parkeren,klein koelkast wat niet echt goed werkte,erg warm op kamer had gelukkig kamer met balkon denk goed na als je kamer op 2 etage neemt heeeeeel warm

The location is excellent. However, as is the case almost everywhere on the island, parking spaces are very narrow or have very steep inclines, making it very easy to scratch your car.

It would be excellent if the rooms had air conditioning

Superbe lieu. Très bien placé pour visiter Madère et notamment randonner dans le nord de l'île. L'association entre la chambre et les parties communes offre un très grand confort sur place. Le jacuzzi et le sauna apporte un confort appréciable après une journée de randonnée.

Il a fallu insisté certains soir pour avoir accès au SPA malgré la réservation sur l'application. Le côté strict des horaire, même si nécessaire si il y a plusieurs convives, offre un manque de souplesse (surtout que dans notre cas personne n'utilisait les installations).

Mooi net huis, zwembad, sauna en jacuzzi

Geen airco, dus warm in de kamer!! Vieze geur in de kleine badkamer. Kleine koelkast in de keuken werkt eigenlijk niet....de manager kan ook geen woord Engels of Frans

A proper luxurious house. Spottlessly clean and with all necessary amenities. Amazing view from the terrace and the pool area. Highly recommended!

L'emplacement et la vue. une maison et des chambres neuves, propres. Une salle de billard et une piscine très sympas. Une très belle vue. Tranquille.

L'arrivée sans personne qui vous accueille. On nous envoie des codes par Whatsapp dans l'après midi du voyage alors qu'on n'est pas connecté à internet et personne ne répond au téléphone... Par d'autres clients, on a fini par trouver un gardien qui ne parle que le portugais ! Heureusement on a fini par se comprendre !

The facilities there were amazing!

Tout est neuf ou presque, super équipement ! Salle de sport, jacuzzi , billard, sauna, piscine. Rien à dire si ce n’est que nous nous en sommes pas servis, vu les randonnées à faire, pas le temps pour le reste.

Un bémol sur les places de stationnement des véhicules.

Wunderschöner Blick über Canical, die Lokale am Wasser sind in 15 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Sehr schöner, gepflegter Pool Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt

Prima accommodatie. Heerlijk dat het daar iets koeler is dan in Funchal. Komt door de ligging. Fijn zwembadje. Alles goed schoon. Restaurantjes in de buurt ook prima.

De stad is eigenlijk vlakbij maar lopen langs de weg is misschien niet zo verstandig.

Veel faciliteiten, proper hotel.

Eigenaar zei niks.

La chambre 4 est sans vue, sans terrasse privative, donnant sur le passage de tous les résidents, obligés de tirer le rideau pour se sentir seuls, odeur de moisi dans la salle de bains... chambre 4 à éviter donc par manque d'intimité. Les autres avec vue mer semblaient toutefois plus agréables.

We love

Bonne emplacement avec belle vue

L’odeur d’humidité

Alojamento incrível! Queríamos estar afastado das confusões e conseguimos. Super prestáveis, com uma boa privacidade dentro do que é possível ser numa vivenda. Adoramos e pensamos repetir 🤞🏼

Bardzo czysto- wszędzie na posesji

Ocena ogólna wyśmienita! Właściciel super, Bardzo czysto, udogodnienia sauna , basen, jacuzzi, wszystko zadbane Bilard .... piękny ogród do wypoczynku. Było super

The house is new, purpose-built, well-maintained, and very nice in general. It is very easily accessible by car, being located very close to VR1 motorway. It is close to the airport and reasonably close to places of interest in the east half of the island. The room was spacious and so was its terrace. Kitchenette was well equipped. Sauna greatly helped to relax and regenerate after hiking. I appreciated exercise mats in the fitness room (please, provide foam rollers as well). While the housekeeper didn't speak English, we didn't have to talk much and I definitely did _not_ feel watched etc. by him as mentioned in some of the opinions.

There was no room housekeeping at all during my 10 night stay. All I would ask for is cleaning the floor every other day and weekly towel and bed linen change. This part of the island is prone to get windy, foggy, and rainy, with the weather often much better just a dozen or so kilometers south. Driving to points of interest in the west half of the island takes a while. I didn't mind booking a free appointment online (max 1 h per day) to use the sauna (it's good for energy conservation and privacy), but the latest starting time was only 19:00 and it wasn't always ready on time.

Great gym, pool and sauna, amazing views and it was very clean

The kitchen is small

- Le lit etait plus confortable quz certains - Il y avait des murs

La chambre 7 n'est pas une chambre. C'est un espace exigu, bas de plafond, suitant l'humidité, muni d'une ridicule fenetre sans vue et tres éloignée des photos reprisent sur booking! L'odeur d'humidité est a la limite du suportable et le sentiment d'enfermement est accentué par l'absence totale de décoration ou de climatisation. Les equipements proposés etaient tous HS/ en maintenance ou laissés a l'abandons. Les autres chambres que nous avons pu appercevoir auraient sans doute méritées une meilleur note. La notre pouvait pretendre au titre de cagibit, maximum.

Blick

Der Code für die Eingangstür war nicht um 15:00 Uhr freigeschaltet, erst eine halbe Stunde später. Lästige Wartezeit.

Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Alles war sauber und ordentlich, und unser Aufenthalt war insgesamt sehr angenehm. Besonders gut hat uns die Möglichkeit gefallen, die Sauna und den Whirlpool zu nutzen – das war wirklich entspannend. Auch der Grill und die Möglichkeit, ihn zu benutzen, haben uns sehr gefreut. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Ein kleiner Minuspunkt, den man nach einem Aufenthalt auf der Insel eigentlich kaum als solchen bezeichnen kann, ist die Parksituation. Es gibt zwar Parkplätze an der Unterkunft, jedoch sind diese begrenzt. Allerdings ist das ein „Problem“, das die ganze Insel betrifft.

La vue de la chambre sur Sao Lourenço, la déco de la maison, les infrastructures (jacuzzi, sauna, salle de sport, billard, salon commun avec grand écran) pour un prix très correct!

Rien

Schöne Unterkunft mit wunderschöner Aussicht auf Caniçal. Der schöne Pool und der Whirlpool hat uns sehr gefallen. Das Zimmer war klein aber sauber.

Leider riecht es im Haus einbisschen speziell und im Badezimmer riecht man den Abgluss sehr stark. Das Haus ist sehr hellhörig und man kann das Zimmer nicht heizen.

Abflussgerüche, defekte Toilette, Zimmer kleiner als angegeben

+ schoon + comfortabel + jacuzzi

- parkeren

Gewoon een fijn verblijf voor kortere tijd .

Geen op of aanmerkingen

Wspaniały pobyt! Pokój był czysty i komfortowy, a jacuzzi nagrzane dokładnie tak, jak prosiliśmy. João to wspaniały człowiek, który odpowiadał nam na wszystkie pytania i bardzo pomógł w organizacji prania oraz taksówki na lotnisko.

Lokalizacja jest daleko od wszystkiego, ale z wynajętym autem nie robi to aż takiego problemu.

The villa itself is wonderful. The pool, although cold, is clean and lovely, the hot tub and sauna facilities are great, and the view is incredible. The beds were supremely comfortable.

The groundskeeper and the owner are WEIRD. At first we understood what was going on with other reviews but it became increasingly strange. When you arrive you are greeted by a faceless message giving you some basic information such as how to enter and get the keys etc. In this message it states that you need to book the sauna ahead of time (so the groundskeeper can heat it up), and shows you how to use the hot tub. When we actually got around to using the hot tub, the groundskeeper came up to us after a bit and turned the hot tub off, translated a message saying we cannot just use it we must book it in advance (no such information was ever given to us), and that the owner had been watching us on the CCTV for 30 minutes and that it was apparently a "bad look" that we were using it without permission (that we were never told we needed). All of this was well within normal hours for the facilities - around 17:30. Between just telling us things that are made up and watching us on the CCTV, this place never really felt relaxing. There is definitely the feeling of being watched, and coddled like children who cannot do anything without permission from the absent owner. I would not return.

We had a brilliant stay in Caniçal, Madeira, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The room was absolutely amazing - spotless, comfortable, ocean view and perfectly set up for a relaxing trip Our host, truly made the stay unforgettable. He was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, and we really enjoyed spending time with him. João is the absolute man - so generous with his time and knowledge of the island. He took us to Pico do Facho and Machico, shared loads of helpful tips and advice for getting around Madeira, and even made us poncha, which was a highlight in itself. The jacuzzi was fantastic. After being out all day exploring, coming back and relaxing in the jacuzzi was exactly what we needed…it was incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating. All around, this was a fantastic trip and a stay we’ll remember for a long time. We 100% recommend this place and would happily return. Thank you, João, for such an amazing experience!

A brilliant property with excellent value for money. The view from the pool & jacuzzi area was fantastic, you could see the whole village/sea from there. Lovely friendly staff, very helpful and prompt replies for any questions or help needed regarding the area, restaurants, car rental etc. We'll hopefully get the opportunity to return soon, and until then, we're recommending this venue 100%!

Bâtiment neuf et chambre sympa et propre

Pas vraiment de parking On entend tous les bruits des voisins Salle de bain très humide (aucun système de ventilation) Pas de sac poubelle à disposition en avance pour les toilettes, ni de papier toilette ou gel douche

La vista e i suoi diversi servizi come; piscina, idromassaggio e sauna, soprattutto il tavolo da bigliardo

Il parcheggio

Die große Terrasse mit großartigen Ausblick, die gut ausgestatteten Zimmer und der Pool.

Keine eigenen Parkplätze.

Sauna and swimming pool was great, also the view from the property really beautiful

It was a bit cold in the room

Cet établissements a tout l’équipement

Logement un peu petit

Everything especially the sraff Joao was of great help The daily cleaning the facilities …

Nothing

We booked this place to have access to a sauna and jacuzzi and they were the only redeeming quality.

As others have mentioned, the service is bad and the guesthouse does not feel welcoming. Weird housekeeping watches your every move. The facilities could be better: broken shower door, missing any toiletries in the room, TV with broken AirPlay (impossible to connect an iPhone). The room was also falsely advertised on Booking.com to be 30 sqm, but it was more like 12 sqm with very little light due to the only window facing the driveway. When we contacted the administrator over WhatsApp, they responded with unhelpful generic justifications clearly written by ChatGPT and did not respond to phone calls. The sauna wasn’t working at first and the housekeeper wasn’t helpful, just brushed us off. It wasn’t until after we contacted the administrator again that the sauna was turned on. The jacuzzi had an unpleasant amount of foam in it that was blowing everywhere in the strong wind. Better confirm the availability of facilities before booking, as others have mentioned they were unavailable during their stay

The house is located in the hillside, it has a phenomenal view. The owner gave instructions on everything, we enjoyed using the biliard table downstairs.

It was a little cold and we could not heat the room. There was no shampoo and shower gel, but I am not sure that it is included. The bed was a little bit uncomfortable.

De gastvriendelijkheid en de rust

Het schuine plafond naar het balkon, let op dat je je hoofd niet stoot. En de geur van het afvoerputje in de douche.

it was clean, they gave us coffee

all the things already mentioned before came out to be true: to "book" the Sauna or the jacuzzi it was quite complicated, ypu had to do it through a different Homepage (they only gave us the homepage for the jacuzzi) and we were just allowed to use it until 7pm. They did not give us extra towel or bathrobe, because we only stayed 2 nichts, the mini "fridge" in the room did not cool at all. The room itself is quite small, definitivly looks better on the Fotos, so if you want to cook I can't recommend this place (there is also no Salt and no oil). Parking is really difficult, we had already been in Madeira for a week and thought okay parking here is a bit crazy, but nothing compared to there, it was really difficult as it is a busy street and the indicated spots are very small. Finally let's talk about the housekeeper, like written in other references already you really do feel watched by him, I was happy I was not a girl traveling alone, he does not speek english and why he needs to be there while you use the Sauna and jacuzzi does not make any sense. Al final with a lot of arguing we managed to go to the sauna and jacuzzi but its not easy you need to argue, do some reservations etc. So in total we really can't recommend staying there

Einfach ein Traum! Hatte Bedenken weil ich dachte es sind alles KI Bilder, aber genau so sieht es aus. Es ist wunderschön, total sauber und die Leute super nett und hilfsbereit. Zum Glück konnte ich spontan auch noch eine Nacht verlängern. Die Unterkunft hat alles was man braucht und noch mehr. Ich bin wirklich suuuuper zufrieden und würde jederzeit wieder hier her kommen!

De accommodatie was echt perfect om even bij te komen. Erg rustig en het personeel was erg vriendelijk.

The property was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and lush greenery all around. We loved having access to the spa, and the pool was clean and very refreshing. The rooms were quiet, spotless, and comfortable, with modern furnishings that made everything feel organized and welcoming. Overall, it was a lovely and relaxing place to stay.

Our stay at the guest house was pleasant overall, and the property itself was clean and comfortable. The maintenance man was very kind and helpful, and we appreciated how attentive he was. However, we did feel a bit heavily monitored during our stay — he was often nearby and seemed to be keeping an eye on us, which made things feel a little awkward at times, even though we know he meant well. We also noticed that there were no toiletries provided (such as shampoo or soap), which would have been a nice addition. In addition, the jacuzzi and sauna closed earlier than listed — 8:15 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. — because the maintenance man had to operate them for guests. It would be great if these amenities could be available for guests to use independently, with staff checking and closing them afterward. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but think a few small changes could make the experience much more relaxing and comfortable for future guests.

Very relaxed comfortable guesthouse. Got to use the hot tub one of the evenings which was fabulous

Didn't get to use the pool or the sauna - closed due to the weather which was out of the owner's control.

A nice, clean, and well equipped studio with a nice view. A nice balcony with a good view and seats. This accommodation is perfect for a couple of nights stay if you plan to go for the São Lourenço hike. The pool and jacuzzi looked really nice but we couldn‘t try because of the cold wind. There are restaurants close by, we ate at the O Recante restaurant which had good food and cosy vibe. We did a self check in which was easy with all the details given in advance.

Parking was a bit tough, and you hear the harbor all the time from the balcony.

Fantastic view, swimming pool, jacuzzi, cleanliness, kind staff

Limited parking space. It could be tricky if you are the last to be home

Propreté et entretien

Place de parking pas toujours facile d’accès (nous avons du nous garer à l’extérieur)

The apparment is really clean and nicely prepared. We had stunning views with sunrises right in front of us. It was quiet and we were not distrubed.

We chose this place because of the facilities it offerred (pool,sauna,jacuzzi) Unfortunaltelly, the owner made it eaither impossible to use (we wanted to use sauna at 8.00pm, he said its too late due to electricity prices). Next day we asked for sauna at 18.00, he agreed, but seemed he forgot. So we waited additional half an hour, and when we finelly got in, he was standing there with his stop watch, looking very irritedted that we wanted to go for the second round. After that, he rushed to close the jacuzzi, explainig we cannot use the jacuzzi, since we already used the sauna. And this is not a joke.

The rooms were put together thoughtfully and the balcony was nice as well as the social space.

Our room smelt like mold and very stuffy. It was very hot as well. There was a window/door through a short hall way thing that you couldn’t see out which was supposed to give us “mountain views” but we couldn’t see anything from inside the room at all because the window was about 3 feet tall and down a hall thing away from the rest of the room. The room itself was in an attack and for the most part we couldn’t even stand up straight without hitting our heads. The bathroom was so small that every time you moved you’d knock into the wall. We tried to contact the host and they did not respond despite them reading the message. The have good amenities like pool and hot tub but the hours are really restricted and you have to give them a heads up before you use them and when we did ask they didn’t respond.

Sehr gut ausgestattete Wohnung mit toller Aussicht. Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Besitzer. Das Whirlpool konnte nicht immer benutzt werden. Hähne und Hunde übernahmen jeweils den Weckdienst (bei offenem Fenster ;o).

Ok

Muy recomendable ir, sitio con vistas impresionantes y muy buen precio

Odeurs d'égouts dans la salle de bain et absence de parking

Très belle vue avec la piscine . Belle place de tranquillité

Staying at São Lourenço Guest House in Madeira was truly the highlight of our trip. The property is stunning, peaceful, and spotless, with everything thoughtfully arranged for comfort and relaxation. But what made it unforgettable was the host—so warm, welcoming, and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. From local tips to daily check-ins, their kindness made us feel completely at home. It was hands down the best stay we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to return!

It was very clean and the property manager was friendly, speaks only Portuguese but used a google translator so all was good. It is located on a steep road so it was tricky turning in or parking. It was a fun adventure entering because you are given a series of codes to open doors to go to your room because there is no reception. You need to drive for groceries.

Me encanta la tranquilidad del sitio y la calidad de la habitaciones que son nuevas. 100% recomendado para venir en pareja.

Modern facilities, nice jacuzzi and pool. Room was small. Not enough parking.

Alles super

It was absolutely amazing. Great view and very nice location. Place was clean and nice, host was very responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful view with a lovely hot tub and sauna

Mooie, nieuwe en nette, verzorgde locatie. De kamer was wat aan de kleine kant maar dat werd ruim goedgemaakt door het gemeenschappelijke zwembad. Ook was alles aanwezig in de keuken. De badkamer was ok maar er hing regelmatig een sterke rioolgeur. Het parkeerbeleid was onduidelijk. Toch geraakten we onze auto gemakkelijk kwijt.

I was lucky enough to meet the owner, he was super friendly, very helpful, met all our needs, thank you so much!

Certainly! Here’s a I recently had the pleasure of staying at São Lourenço Guest House and it was an absolutely wonderful experience One highlight of my stay was their exceptional laundry service. I needed help with my laundry at the very last minute, and they handled it with such efficiency and care. The turnaround time was impressive, and my clothes came back perfectly clean and fresh. This level of service truly sets them apart and made my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable stay.
