Atrio

Had a fabulous 1 week stay here. Extremely peaceful & quiet if that is what you're after, as we were. You'd need a taxi to get down into Calheta itself, or ideally hire a car. Lodges are beautiful and the sea view is stunning. Quality of food in restaurant is top class.

I spent a week in Madeira, staying at a different hotel each night, and Atrio was by far the best one. The whole experience was exceptional. The swimming pool is amazing, the private houses are spacious, spotless, and come with their own terraces surrounded by beautiful nature. The food was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. It was my boyfriend’s birthday, and they helped us organise a surprise cake and even set up a special birthday table for us. After we checked out, they kindly stored all our luggage - including what felt like a hundred little bags - so we could go for a hike without worry. They even packed up the leftover cake and made us sandwiches for the hike. This was truly an unforgettable experience. I’m already planning to come back, and I couldn’t recommend Atrio more highly.

Good hotel at the upper end of 4 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟. Located at an elevation of approx. 500m it is a great starting point for many outdoor activities, in particular hiking. Great support for that with tips, guides, and also some equipment by the friendly staff. Good breakfast with buffet selection plus eggs and pancakes cooked to order. Also dinner is served optionally, sometimes some options were not available. Clear recommendation.
