Arco de Sao Jorge Vacation Packages

1st trip 2 stunning Madeira, organised accommodation ( flight & rental car) 2 weeks b4 arriving. The new villa is very spacious for 6 (no single beds). Kitchen & 2.5 bathrms are well equipped mostly (needs corkscrew, colander, more towels, outdoor furniture, but had dishwasher & laundry tablets). Expedia shows the villa in Funchal (it is not). The letting agency hasn’t fixed this (could c the villa on other platforms, elsewhere, & google maps doesn’t recognise its street address correctly, u need the google location code from agent 2 plan). The agents need to be more responsive 2 queries (there were no current reviews & 1-2 days notice was unnerving). The villa is in a beautiful rural spot up in the mtns, closer 2 Ribeiro Frio than the main village, Sao Roque do Faial. There was no info in the villa on services in the area, tourism, or how 2 use the heat etc (we were cold, & couldn’t get a fire 2 stay lit w/ ltd supplies). It is not near a good supermkt, we stocked up in Machico. The 2 local cafe/bars serve some food at times (there is a shortcut 2 houses down), the online info is very ltd. U can’t always get food unless u organise it ahead at Bar Cedro, skewers were lovely 2x, unavailable on 3rd try. Used google translate 2 talk 2 the bar staff. We also ate down at the main village 2x, at Sanroque (open 7pm) & up at Ribeiro Frio, both good. Guidebook & WalkMe app a must. Driving is challenging. Was a good base 2 explore all corners of the island. Would stay in villa again.

Clean room, awesome breakfast, good location, hotel in midst of renovation

Our stay at Villa Camelia was truly superb! Visiting in low season meant we had a near-empty property to enjoy - and it's a stunning house! The communal spaces are truly whimsical and there's something new to spot every time you walk through. Our room was very homely and the high ceilings on the upstairs level made it feel even more spacious. The breakfast served by Berta each morning was splendid, with lots of choice and all of it delicious. The grounds surrounding the house are plentiful and well-maintained and we cannot wait to return in the summer months to spend our downtime outside in the sun! Simply put; do not hesitate to book your stay here!

Very kind and helpful staff. Loved the sweets in the lobby.
