Casa da Olides - T3, hotel in Santana

Offering quiet street views, Casa da Olides - T3 is an accommodation located in Santana, 39 km from Marina do Funchal and 47 km from Porto Moniz Natural Swimming Pools.

Our hostess Sandra and her mother were very welcoming, and we very much appreciated the homemade biscuits and madeira wine and fruit when we arrived and the traditional cake to take home with us. The house itself was beautifully decorated, the bedrooms in particular with their very comfortable beds, and we loved all the extra cushions, cozy blankets for the sofa and the generous supply of towels in the bathroom.

    Depends on each individual expectations, this is not a noise place with nitclubs, but it is very good for relaxation, countryside but wonderful, people are going earlier to bed and is so peaceful, you can find diferit restaurant on the village with a lot of options, I highly recommend it if you like the tranquility and nature

    The hotel is very pleasant.

    The hotel is very pleasant. It is good to be together with nature and with beautiful views over the sea and mountains. However, check-in took a long time, we waited 1 hour and a half for them to prepare the room, and when we got to the room, there were no pool towels, we had to ask at reception. Another situation that I didn't like was the booking of the wine tasting and visit to wine house. We were refused the wine tasting because we had already checked out at 12:00h. So we asked if we could do it before check out and they said yes, but we got there and nobody showed up.

    Don't stay in Santana longer than 4 days and make sure you have a rental car to get to all the levadas easily. The restaurants/cafes in Santana are not that good/nice. The only tourist attraction in Santana are the famous Santana houses and the nearby hiking area Queimadas.

    We made the mistake of not hiring a car before we got to the hotel. We figured we would see what Santana was like and then hire a car locally, this was a big mistake! Once we got to our hotel, it was clear that we would need a car to get around as nothing is close or easy to get to. We're super active people but local hikes are 30 mins just to get to. We were told it would be £630 to hire a car for 5 days. Our advice would be to hire a car ahead of your trip. Santana is beautiful and has such a variety of things to do and see. Other advice would be to not judge a book by its cover when it comes to restaurants, we ate the best stake in a tiny little restaurant that looked pretty grim from outside. You probably wont want to spend all your time in Santana but its a great base.

    It is a lovely, peaceful and relaxing place. I wanted time to chill, and Santana did that. Lovely scenery. Eat at the Serra e Mar Don't bother with the tourists traditional houses, there are plenty of genuine ones in the town, some very rustic

    We love Santana in the winter.

    We love Santana in the winter. The tourists are all in Funchal, so you have the place for yourself. Santana is ideally placed for the best hikes in Madeira: Pico Ruivo (at least 3 different hikes start here, all top-class), Queimadas with its amazing hikes and others. Also a short drive to the airport. There are some great restaurants in Santana and the adjoining villages and all the services you may need.

    Hotel has a super location. There is enough parking on the property and restaurants are close by. Supermarket is 5min drive from the hotel. The grounds are amazing and from the general terrace which everyone has access to you can see the sea. The room had the perfect size and we still had enough space with 2 big luggages. The breakfast was good. We thought it would have been nice to offer some vegegable like tomatoes or slices cucumber. Otherwise there is a guest fridge where you can leave your stuff and a kitchen to prepare food.

    What an incredible value! The apartment is roomy and with views over the mountains. We stayed in apartment A which was the bottom apartment and it still had amazing views. The apartment was absolutely spotless and plenty of linens were provided as well as a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. It is within walking distance to the town, as most things are in Santana, and the host was quick to respond and flexible with check out--much appreciated!

    Our stay at Santana in Nature was a delightful experience. The beautiful surroundings were truly breathtaking, and the ample parking space added to the convenience. The traditional food and drink offerings were excellent. The presence of a pool and hot tub was a nice touch, although we didn’t get a chance to try them due to our busy schedule. The service was generally pleasant, with the waitress being particularly friendly and accommodating.

    The House is very spacious with beautiful view on mountains. It has its own parking spot for those who came by car. It has equipped kitchen and washing mashine. The owner was super nice and we want to thank Maria for letting us come earlier because we had wedding. It has AC and the cleaning was very good. The check in and check out was superb and quick. The location is also good because you have few minutes to Santana centre.

    The room was clean. The hotel itself is nice. Owner was very helpful and friendly, adviced, what to visit nearby and where to eat. The room size was very small, but it was not a problem for us. Every morning we were awakened by the crowing of cocks in Santana, which was so nice to me! :D Well placed base for hiking and in general well placed logistically. Great snack bar close to the hotel - Adega do Compadre!

    The reception staff was friendly and efficient and the room was spacious and clean. The massive bed was very comfortable with cozy linens. Easily the best bed we had throughout our stay in Portugal. the attached restaurant was fairly good and the included breakfast was decent continental fare. We would definitely stay here again if we passed through Santana.

    Lovely typical older style home in beautiful gardens. You have the option to use kitchen facilities should you wish. Very nice breakfast provided and large communal lounge. Place was immaculately clean and staff very friendly. Very good value for money. Santana provides a good base for exploring the island - great access to some lovely hikes.

    we really liked the Casas de Campo. The staff were great. The breakfast was quite good and included items baked by the owner. The bed was comfy and the living area good. Santana afternoons and evenings can be cooler when the clouds come in but the heating took the edge off quickly. The kitchen was simple but adequate for meal preparation.

    The room was very comfortable and spacious, especially the bathroom. Nice decoration. Common area (kitchen & living room) was also convenient and well equipped. Beautiful surroundings, levada walk next door. :) I believe the restaurant belongs to the owners, make sure to have a reservation as it can get quite crowded during dinner time.

    The property is very conveniently located to the Santana houses, Pico Ruivo and other great hikes in the area. In order to get there you need a car. The house is very spacious with lots of special touch and decor. It has absolutely everything a family with kids would be needed for their stay.

    The atmosphere in this hotel, felt like coming home! We felt a little melancholy when we left, and when looking back. It was our best stay on the island. 5/5, will return. Nicest staff, a calm and relaxing room & a big breakfast buffet.
