Northern Madeira, Madeira Region hotel rooms at the Independent

"Beautiful view from our hotel room. Excellent customer service. Easy access to the tidal pools. Very walkable. Parking is a bit confusing because it is just down the street. They have construction in front of the hotel but that was fine. Delicious breakfast."

"Great location for exploring the island. Walking distance to grocery store and multiple restaurants. "

"We had such a lovely stay at Casa Os Manos — it felt calm, welcoming, and friendly. Nathan was the perfect host: kind, thoughtful, and always there when we needed anything (even emergency coffee and a bottle opener!). His hiking tips were spot on — PR9 was stunning — and it was so nice to come back to a super comfy bed, a powerful shower, and even a surprise room upgrade. We loved playing pool, listening to Sam Fender, and just soaking in the good vibes. The location is ideal for exploring the island, and the house has everything you need to feel right at home— and yes, we’ll forgive the Manchester City scarf 😅. There’s something really peaceful about the place — rural, quaint, and like it’s been looked after with care and intention. Thanks again Nathan — we truly had the best time. We will be recommending to all friends and family!"

"This was an amazing property and area. The host Paula was so accommodating and very responsive whenever we had a question. I can't say enough about how beautiful São Vicente is. Perfect spot with plenty of restaurants and a grocery store for all your needs."

"We loved it here!"

"We travelled in the off season (early March) and really enjoyed our stay. Our room had a garden view and it was perfect. We strolled through every pathway in the property and for a flower/garden/rose lover it would be absolutely amazing in the summer when everything is in bloom. Our check-in greeting and encounters with staff were always polite and cheerful and breakfast was perfect every morning. We would happily stay here again."

"The views from the ocean view are amazing. Beautiful location too. Rooms are older and quite dated yet very clean and a great balcony. We’d stay again for sure. "

"The view was amazing from our balcony and I really enjoyed how centrally located it was. There were two supermarkets right around the corner and multiple places to eat. Would highly recommend!"
