"Overall a good stay, property is in a quiet area. Not much to do in Santa Cruz which is nice. I did the half board option and honestly would skip it next time. The food was basic cafeteria food, par at best. "

"Good value hotel with a reliable bus service to Funchal only 5min walk away which I used on multiple occasions. It’s very good value compared to taxis. The staff were very helpful at all times of the day and the reception always had a friendly face there to help with many questions. I would stay here again."

"I loved this hotel. Everything was perfect — the room and its size, the breakfast, the pool, the access to the beach, and all the other services. This hotel is practically the highlight of my trip to Madeira."

"The staff was so kind and the property looks on the beautiful cliffs of Madeira. We loved being able to use the Galosol pool, this was definitely a highlight. There are many restaurants within walking distance and parking is very inexpensive and easy in front. Nice to be away from the city but still close to visit as needed, would recommend for a relaxing stay!"

"Great customer service, breakfast options and balcony views. They also seem to take care of the stray cats on the property so that's a definite plus for animal lovers!"

"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!

"Having only stayed here for a brief period, arriving after midnight and departing in the morning, I must say the entire experience was truly delightful. The hotel, though rated as a three-star establishment, boasted a reception staff that provided a five-star level of service. The property itself was well-maintained, and the room was exceptionally spacious with lovely views. Furthermore, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast was quite tasty."
The beach fronting Santa Cruz features sheltered ocean swimming, relaxing seawater pools, a fun-filled water park and magnificent views of the Desertas Islands.
