Porto da Cruz Cottage
Clean and tidy with everything which we needed for our stay. Plenty of information on hand for visitors not familiar with the island. The village is pleasant with a choice of places to eat, and in practice nowhere is too far away on Madeira. The property is characterful, nicely situated, and well maintained

Comfortable hill-side cottage
Warm welcome from the hosts, who were very helpful with suggestions and even drove in front of us to show us where the local supermarket was. The walking from the village was very good indeed, and we enjoyed exploring Madeira from our base.

Great location
We really enjoyed our stay here, the location was fabulous just a short walk from the village with plenty of places to eat and drink. As Maderia is a relatively small island we found that we get everywhere very quickly from Porto da Cruz. Fabulous views from the cottage, dramatic landscape all around and the sea too, would recommend for a stay.

Lovely house in lovely location. Plenty of breathtakingly beautiful scenery to admire
We had a fantastic time at the house and area. The house had everything we needed and was in a great location for exploring the incredible scenery, moutains, levadas, coast and much more. Sietske and Aurelio provided lots of useful information before we travelled (things to see, banks, restaurants, etc.). On arrival they made sure were were fully settled in and showed us to a restaurant before they left us to enjoy the peace and beauty. After that they were only a phone call away if needed. Im sure we shall be back there before too long and would certainly recommend it to friends and family.

About the host

Hosted by Sietske and Aurelio da Costa

Host profile image
We are a Portuguese/ Dutch couple. Year after year this cottage has been the main holiday destination for us as a family. We love this island, the pleasant climate, the beautiful nature and the friendly people.

Why they chose this property

The property was remodeled in 1993 by my father-in-law. It became ours in 2000 and in 2012 some friends who visited us gave us the idea to start renting it out to travelers, who love the countryside of Madeira, rather than staying in tourist resorts.
We hope that you will enjoy this place as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

What makes this house special to us is the unique location, close to the mountains and to the Ocean. The walls of this cottage are very thick and made out of rocks, as houses were made in the old days. They don't make these kind of houses anymore in Portugal. Inside the cottage there's a lot of pine wood: floors, ceilings, window sills, shutters, stairs, furniture etc.
