Spent 3 nights here as part of a walking holiday around Madeira - excellent food, very helpful staff and lovely rooms to boot. Would stay there again as a centre for more walking in the area. The town itself is quiet but take care walking on the roads as not many pavements

Great place with friendly and always helpfull staff ! Very good food, rich breakfest, reasonable dinner. Spacious room with a view to beautiful green garden, very pleasant morning wake up by singing birds. There is connecting door between two rooms not enough protecting the noise coming from neighbor. That's the reason why we don't rate the hotel with five dots.... More

Family with one and half year old child. Although not being able to profit the hiking possibilities, due to a very young child, I recognize the good location for this kind of sport. Also great location for golf enthusiasts. Small size hotel (like we like), confortable, with evident taste on ambiance, indoor swiming pool.

After the change in management I was back with wife and kids. The addition of the indoor swimming pool and sauna are a big plus, and the renewed gym and relax room were also a good surprise. Rooms kept their comfort with new tv and dvd, excelent for the kids. there's also an ipod dock station. Dinner at Avó Micas... More

We stayed for 3 nights at the end of March. The hotel is everything others have reported, large comfortable bedrooms with modern fittings in a new extension. Nice indoor swimming pool. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast with the full range one would expect. If I have one small criticism it is that the evening meals, although perfectly good and... More

Serra Golf is, as the name suggests, close to one of the major golf courses in Madeira and it is obviously a great hotel for golfers but we found it an ideal spot for walkers. The village is over 600 meters above sea level on a volcanic plateau so there are walks close at hand either directly from the hotel... More

We were surprised and delighted when we arrived at Porto Bay Serra Golf by foot after a 14k Levada walk. We had walked through the town of Santo do Serra, which frankly has little to offer (other than on Sunday,we were told by a local,when there is a market) so our expectations of the hotel weren't high as it seemed...

This hotel is a real find! It's perfect if you want a quiet, relaxing couple of days. Even better if you are a golfer as it is situated about 5 minutes walk from a fantastic golf course set high on the cliffs looking down over the bay. The staff at the hotel are brilliant - they are very friendly and... More

We booked this hotel because we wanted to try something different from "normal" Hotels. As it is situated at around 700 metres above sea level it can be a bit cooler than in Funchal.
