Madeira Panoramico Hotel

We throughly enjoyed being guests at the Madeira Panoramico for a week during January. We were warmly met by the charming and helpful staff. Our room was immaculate with a spacious balcony and lovely views across Madeira. It's a peaceful spot, removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The housekeeping was superb; it was great to return to a spotless room every day after long walks up mountains and along levadas! Breakfast was always excellent with a huge choice on offer - and we particularly enjoyed eating on the terrace during warm and sunny mornings. We were happy to walk down into the city centre (about twenty minutes) - though there is an hourly courtesy bus running during the day if required. We used a public bus to return uphill again, often in the evenings, with a very convenient bus stop right outside the hotel. This is an excellent base to explore Madeira and we appreciated the ease of car parking and the fact that it was convenient to access the main highways from the hotel. We used the indoor swimming pool and hot tub - but it wasn't quite warm enough (for us!) to trial the beautiful outdoor pool with its stunning views! We also visited the Cocktail Bar which offers entertainment in the evenings. Above all, this hotel is a very friendly place and the staff are all cheerful, happy and keen to help.

It's a minor issue, but more power sockets in the room would have been appreciated. With cameras and phones requiring recharge - and the kettle (a hospitality tray is available on request)- rather a lot of plugging and unplugging was required!

We appreciated the welcoming friendly, and very helpful staff. Great breakfast, superb view from our spacious room with balcony. Great grounds to relax in a with two large heated pools and everything very clean. The complimentary bus to and from the city centre proved invaluable.

Direction to and from pool could have been clearer. Other than that everything perfect.

Incredible view ! Very good and rich breakfast , nice, frendly staff, very clean rooms. The bus shuttle from the hotel was really helpfull. Usefull tip : If you do not get to the hotel by taxi and you take the aerobus i do not recommend that you walk to the hotel if you have a big luggage, google maps will take you to very narrow streets that you have to climb (almost 45 degrees angle). Use the google maps route that includes aerobus and bus no.45 that will leave you next to the hotel. For sure, the next time we get to Madeira we shall stay here, we loved it !
