Guest scores & sentiment

From 80 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-21

Guests overwhelmingly praise the breathtaking cliffside ocean setting, lush tropical gardens, peaceful atmosphere, and warm staff. The cable car access is seen as a unique highlight. Main complaints focus on limited cable car operating hours restricting evening mobility, somewhat dated cottage facilities and missing kitchen basics, plus the lack of nearby shops and early restaurant closing times.

Vila do Peixe

regional, seafood

€€

An ideal lunch or dinner option for visitors given its location in the upper section of the old town (opposite the municipal market) and its huge windows boasting superb views of both the bay and the ocean. If you’re looking for authentic maritime-inspired cooking and fresh fish caught the same day you won’t find a better option, as guests can choose the piece of fish they want to eat as if they were in the market; the fish is then weighed in front of you and cooked immediately on the grill. Typical dishes well worth sampling, if available, are the popular limpets and sea snails.
