As we are economic travellers, our experiences of travelling to Madeira and staying at the Atalia Pestana Hotel based in Canico, has exceeded all our expectations.
Having stayed at other hotels and locations at equivalent prices, we have always returned to the Atalia Pestana, where we enjoy the quietness and being away from the hustle and bustle of busy Funchal, where unfortunately one cannot find a parking space.
In our view the only way to explore the island and to be independant to appreciate the remote and hidden beauty of the island, is to hire a car.
What can be more prefect? Arriving at the airport and picking up your car with no hassel and arriving at your hotel 15 minutes later , which is an ideal base for all your explorations of the island.
We have found the hotel Pestana an inobtrosive and as near as can be a home from home place to stay.
We enjoy the adventurous climb down to the secluded rocky bay. where one can just sit and listen to the sounds of the sea and wild life.
All in all we have found Madeira a wonderful island to visit and hope to have many more times there.

Welcome to Ciao. There is almost no information on the hotel itself, the subject of the review. Please include more details and let me know so I can re-rate.

Welcome to Ciao. This review was on the brink of being off topic, you say almost nothing of the hotel at all and nothing that is of any help to potential consumers, what is the hotel like, rooms, staff, prices, etc.? If you update I will be more than happy to rerate :¬) Jamers
