We stay just one night, It was just an emergency stay for us, as we found out, that we were one night short of accommodation. There was an OK restaurant in the village.

Very large house, pictures didn't do it justice. Great facilities for cooking and washing clothes. Great value as well.

You can tell from the interior that the apartments are still very new. Everything was clean and tidy. We especially loved the kitchen and how well equipped it was. Location is great, literally 150m from the natural pools. Contact through booking.com with owner and check-in/check-out worked perfectly.

Loved the sea pools, with cafe for after swim drinks. and the peaceful evening walks. Easy to catch a bus further afield. Harder to get to levada walks than I expected, and I would avoid the ones that come back down steep hills to coast - rough and dangerous surfaces

This is not a sand beach vacation.
This is not a sand beach vacation. There are tidal pools to swim in if the weather cooperates. Be aware that the north side of the island is cooler and more likely to rain. We enjoyed our 2 night stay by the ocean but that was enough

Very good base to explore north-west side of the island
Very good base to explore north-west side of the island
Nice option if you want to cool down in the pool-there are actually 2 spots with ocean water, one more natural than the other, both can have better tourism services and catering options

A beautiful little town with the most beautiful swimming in Madeira in natural pools with sea water and sea fish. Protected from the waves and great for bathing and swimming, in a beautiful wild nature surrounded by rocks. Everything is close by car, the most beautiful levadas, the Fanal forest. Really spend more days.

We were driving around Madeira Island for 8 days & Porto Moniz was 1 of the most scenic area, beautiful rocky formations with the natural pools. We only stayed overnight, but wished we could have spent more time here, experience swimming the natural pools. Beautiful instamagramable picturisque views. We highly recommend Porto Moniz.

Porto Moniz is a tourist town in the far north of Madeira.
Porto Moniz is a tourist town in the far north of Madeira.
the ocean view is amazing.
The city has both natural and paid natural pools, where the only option is to swim.
if you are a fish lover, there are really many good restaurants in this city.
for us, the tastiest fish was Espada.
It is also a great place to visit the Fanal forest, the Telegrafico gondola and the Rabacal area.
for us, who are fans of bends, steep roads, beautiful nature and of course the sea, this part of the island was the most beautiful.
House has all the comforts of a family vacation home, spacious well equipped kitchen, private lounging bbq patio, family room… parking driveway is a little tight but still very nice to be off street. Beautiful views, quiet locale but also close to nearby attractions, grocery and restaurant. The drive to and from property is hilly and sharp turn at places, can take getting used to but not unusual for Madeira. Silvia the host is very responsive, kind and welcoming, checkin and out was simple and easy. Wonderful stay! Highly recommend.
Really great hotel with superb staff, facilities, restaurant and location. It is a complete package, everything here is above Madeira's average standard. Nicely designed room, well equipped and very comfortable. You will get a good welcome drink from Madeira wine and on top of that also pleasant surprise is a bottle of sparkling wine in the room. Fantastic breakfast with plenty to choose from. There is a stunning rooftop pool area with sunbeds and bar. Very convenient location close to natural pools. Totally recommend.
We had room 109 with the fantastic view over the embankment. Ideal location for a few night stay in Porto Moniz. Nice breakfast. Two minute walk from the natural pools. The owner is very kind and helpful. Beds were comfy. The small supermarket nearby. Place has free parking lot from 5 p.m. till 11 a.m. just in front of the hotel (but it very quickly can be full). I guess it's one of the best stays on that part of island! I'd recommend it.
The location is great. The lava pools are awesome. The view of the waves and the ocean was magnificent. The restaurant is delicious. The service was great. Please note: there are 2 hotels with same name & same owner. We stayed at the older hotel and loved it. the new hotel looks lovely but we didn't stay in it so i can't say anything about the rooms. the lava pools are public so you can go to them even if you're not staying at the hotel.
It was a romantic escape for us, kind like a second honey moon and we couldn't have chosen better. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. Big room with an amazing view we had a balcony with see and mountain view. The staff were very attentive, always with a smile and very helpful. Both swimming pools are nice, the one in the top has very nice view.
Lovely new hotel in the cute town of Porto Moniz. Breakfast was amazing, and we loved having a studio so we could cook our own dinners. The hotel is brand new and very nice. They were still doing work downstairs on some rooms, so if you're there during the day it can be loud. We also loved that we got passes to the natural salt pools included in our stay.
The facilities and room was perfectly fine - a bit dated, but clean and the bed was quite comfortable. The breakfast was very nice.
For a budget hotel I would give it an 8, but at this price our expectations were higher - we stayed in several cheaper hotels around Madeira and all had better value for money.
The location is excellent. 25 m distance to Porto Moniz Natural Pools and the ocean. We kept windows open in order to enjoy the ocean sounds during the night.
There is pay-based parking close to the hotel.
The staff was very friendly and made an effort to accommodate special dietary restrictions.
The gentleman running the hotel was really kind and sweet, you can tell he really cares about the place. The location in the town was perfect, with great views of the mountain and ocean. the room was super clean and seemed newly renovated. For the value, the room really exceeded my expectations.
Hotel is totally new. Smiling reception, great breakfast and possibility to use facilities of two other Natura Hotels. Parking for free, a sparkling wine as a surprise...it was the best place to stay during our 10 days Madeira trip. Thanks a lot. Good value for the price.
Ideal location, very central in Porto Moniz, with sea views. Villa well equipped including garage parking. Great place from which to explore north Madeira coast, which is stunning. Hosts were kind, accommodating and welcoming.
Perfect location, quiet neighborhood, 5 min walk to the natural swimming pools, the house was spotless and the owners really nice and helpful. Would highly recommend staying at Porto Moniz Villa to everyone
Charming little village near Porto Moniz, everything's close. Spectacular view from the window, cozy apartment and lovely host. We enjoyed our stay there
