the view is spectacular and the host very friendly, this place is in the countryside above sao vicente and you will hear sheep and chickens. We would certainly choose the same place next time we visit madeira. Good for couples or close friends😊

We didn’t expect the garden to be this large. Just like a park, it was not only colourful but also cosy and extremely well maintained. The hosts were super friendly, always open for a nice conversation and provided us at our arrival with all necessary information about the accomodation. Both the indoor and outdoor kitchen were equipped with anything we needed to cook and eat. In the evening, you can relax at the cozy bar that offers delicious and fresh made drinks for fair prices.
Solar da Bica is a cosy and tranquil retreat. This comfortable guest house faces the mountains and has green natural surroundings. The Solar features accommodation in rooms and an apartment.

The view of the ocean and the rock wall behind the house are incredibly high and stunning. It's just a 1-minute walk to the nearest good restaurant and 10 minutes to the charming small town.
Located in São Vicente in the Madeira Islands region, Casa dos Terços by An Island Apart features a balcony.

The house was ideal for us, 3 adults, as we could have one bedroom each. That way there was enough space in the bedrooms, with double occupancy it might have been a bit of a squeeze. For a family of 5 or 6 it would also be fine.
The house is spacious and has a very nice seasoned, lived-in, and somehow British touch, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, where the family of the landlady had lived in for many decades and really made it a very comfortable home. It is well equipped, with plenty of dishes, plates and glasses, etc. as you can only find in a house that was really lived in, and not just done up on a small budget for rental.
The house is airy and dry, which is not an easy accomplishment on this island, especially in autumn.
There is plenty of space in the kitchen, the dining area, the sitting room, and very importantly also on the various terraces all around the house. The house is situated in a nice garden with interesting plants and which is still nicely maintained.
The location is beautiful. Not easy to find on your own, so you should take the offer of the landlady to lead you there. Once found, access is easy, also the parking. It is very quiet all around, just a few animals in the early morning, no noise from neighbors or any traffic. Also, there is a nice view down onto the ocean, so you immediately get the feeling that this is a wonderful location for a holiday.
Ponta Delgada is not the hub of activity on the island, but it is not very touristy, so nice and calm. Access to most parts of the island are vey easy and quick from here. Therefore an ideal base for all kinds of tours.

Helena is very kind helpful and welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. The area is beautiful, the house is in the perfect location to explore the north part/north west, and spend time in the capital city.
House has huge en-suite rooms and a great size well-equipped kitchen, living room, and terrace with outdoor furniture.
We had dinner every day in Sao Vicente (5 min by car) Restaurante Calamar. Excellent food, and we were happy with everything we tried.
I am sure will go and stay here next time when we'll visit the island.

Sao Vicente is a great base for exploring the north of the island without really having a huge amount going for it per se (nothing negative). But Seixal is only a few km away and is my favourite village on the island! Sao Vicente does have a few ok restaurants by the sea but I had better meal experiences elsewhere during my trip. The local caves are closed for the next year or so.

The village is absolutely beautiful.
The village is absolutely beautiful. Ideal for walking around. The views are just stunning, especially if you walk on top of the hill where the small chapel is. It's just difficult to get there if you want to use public transport. Buses there are a nightmare. We were lucky enough that our previous host took us there from Funchal. Otherwise we would struggle as nobody whom we asked in Funchal knew where the bus stop was for bus going to Sao Vicente.

Sao Vicente is a small town on the north side of Madeira,...
Sao Vicente is a small town on the north side of Madeira, rather less well known than most of the south side of the island. It has an interesting old church, a garden of indigenous trees (for plant enthusiasts), volcanic caves and interpretation centre (for geology enthusiasts) and several good restaurants (for foodies!).
From Sao Vicente you can travel along the north coast; westwards to Seixal and Porto Moniz, eastwards to Boaventura, Sao Jorge or Santana. Drive inland to Encumeada, the starting point for several superb hikes, or drive up to the Paul da Serra moorlands.
The roads around here are in good condition and easy to drive, there's not much traffic and the local drivers are quite considerate.
I've visited this area at various times of the year, for hiking and plant spotting, and there's always something new.
Food and drink? No problems! There is everything from simple roadside bars where you can share your coffee break with the locals to top quality restaurants serving authentic Madeiran dishes.

We saw very little of Sao Vicente on our short trip, since we were mainly occupied either seeing the sights in Funchal or else visiting along the coast to the East and West, rather than actually digging deeper locally. No time for a meal out, even though the hotel dining room was no good in the evenings. We've done a lot of caves before, so did not want to committ to that. So all we did was drive through it about six times without stopping to visit! Next time maybe, as it looks a good, if small, place to see more of.
The garden is stunningly beautiful and peaceful and the pool is a good size and looks inviting.
The property is surrounded by mountains and is alive with bird song. There is a very good restaurant within easy walking distance. Sao Vicente ,a short drive away, is a is a pleasant place to walk around and has good restaurants and shops.
Rooms were of a good size and beds were comfortable with sufficient blankets and the hot water bottle was a thoughtful touch. We enjoyed a levada walk nearby and visiting the north coast.
We visited a place in January 2022. The location is super cool (PR16 Levada Fajã do Rodrigues is pretty close). There is such a wonderful view, beautiful mountains, and a very nice garden!
The host is really helpful. For the first 2 nights, we had an uncomfortable mattress(too soft for us), but Cristina replaced it! It was super cool of her, we appreciated it very much! São Vicente is an amazing place and you can easily go to Seixal, Porto Moniz, Fanal Pond… with the car (btw the car is a must-have from my perspective).
I was blown away by the tranquility and the surroundings of this establishment.
It is a perfect stay. I would rate it higher than any luxury hotels! Wonderfully and thoughtfully decorated. The room was cozy, the shower had good pressure. The bed was fantastic, so comfortable!
The breakfast was delicious with many options to choose from.
And they also have a beautiful friendly cat Tasha who is always up for company :)
Next time I’m in Madeira, I will stay at this place for the whole time
Close to the nice part of São Vicente, which is the older center (and not by the sea). A really nice well kept house in a quiet neighborhood with a pool (though we didn’t use it). Nice to have a fully equipped kitchen and a proper seating area and everything felt pretty new and fresh. Good parking lot with an automatic gate. We never met Duarte, but he was very helpful via the app and gave us all the information and help we needed by text.
The little house is perfect for a stay in Sao Vicente. Is has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We highly appreciated that it had a washing machine. We were greeted with a bottle of Madeira wine and home made cookies, very thoughtful. Janine who administrates the property, is a wonderful person, very attentive and communicative. She gave us lots of info on where to eat, drink, trekking spots and so much more.
The location was outstanding with the ocean right outside the window and next door were plenty of bakeries for breakfast, restaurants for lunch and dinner, bars for relaxing and a supermarket too for everything else. It was also easy to get everywhere in north and western Madeira from Sao Vicente. The apartment was spacious, pleasant, and had all the essentials.
Got my booking changed with a day's notice, and great hospitality from Frederic.
Was helpful with everything and I felt really welcome.
Right in the center of Sao Vicente and close to cafe, supermarket and bus stop.
Took off from there with a smile on my face and a good experience.
I can’t imagine a more perfect place in São Vicente. For the price of a hotel room you can be on a comfortable apartment in the center of the village. There are restaurants and a market in easy walking distance. Filipe is a wonderful and helpful host. Great views from my balcony.
Nasrin is a very kind, warm-hearted and reliable host, we felt very welcomed. The house is in a quite area (you can hear the ocean) and still you can walk very easily in 10min to Sao Vicente for dinner & drinks. We had the best sleep there during our vacation.
Nice, calm place in Ponta Delgada with beautiful sunset views. Bus station is just a few footsteps away to go to Sao Vicente (Funchal, Porto Moniz) or Arco de Sao Jorge (Santana, ...). Or just start (or end) your hiking directly at the house.
Location was perfect, communication with the house owner was pleasant, nice surrounding (supermarket, nature and gas station), view to the village. Nice fully equipped kitchen (permanently available) and the hall with the fire place.
The gorgeous view and the kindness and generosity of the host. we were warmly welcomed with wine, a bowl of fruit, fresh eggs, and more. Sao Vicente is a beautiful location with so much natural beauty. great hikes nearby!
