"I had a wonderful stay at the apartment. It was very comfortable and located in a beautiful place. There was a municipal pool nearby for children and adults. The restaurants and the waterfront were right next to the building. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation."

"A very peaceful location with great proximity to the airport and near a pleasant village. It is a tidy and compact cottage that was perfect for our family and Patricia was very helpful. It was pleasant to sit outside the cottage and enjoy the lush greenery. It's best not to let kids wander up the driveway toward the main house as there are large guard dogs that can surprise you."

Quinta Splendida Wellness & Botanical Garden

Quinta Splendida Wellness & Botanical Garden

10/10 Excellent
"What a lovely location although there are multiple suites and rooms, from the majority of vistas they are all nestled within the land and discrete. There were issues with the room but we were kindly offered alternatives. Breakfast was included and you couldn't eat enough. The grounds were impressively level given the graduated levels of Maderia's landscape."
