Pestana Fisherman Village

My stay at Fisherman Vilage was a very good experience. The team was great they went above and beyond to help out with problem I had with booking. Com site. The design and little details of Every corner, walls and space inside and outside was amazing very good taste, modern and comfortable, the way they incorporated Nature in that beautiful interior gardens and little details in the walls, the location of the pool it’s outstanding on the top of building mixes with ocean and village around, it’s pure Artwork I will come back for sure.

Pros - Our room was ready early, which was appreciated after an early flight Large double bed, which was VERY comfortable. One of the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever slept in - Shame about the pillows! Bathroom not huge, but adequate. Shower was powerful, with lots of hot water and complimentary shampoo/shower gel Very useful double USB socket and USB sockets at each side of the bed Complimentary traditional Madeiran cookies and bottled water, which was replaced daily. Fridge in room which was great for keeping drinks cold. Room was spotlessly clean throughout our stay. 1 comfy chair in room, with a foot stool, which doubled up as a seat, not ideal for 2 guests to use. Nice rooftop terrace. Pool big enough to swim, not 25 metres, but ok for a quick swim and pool towels provided in room. Small vending machine on rooftop. Plenty of sunloungers Breakfast was good, with reasonable choice, including cereal, bread, cheese, meat, fruit and cooked items. Not all breakfast items were replenished! Cons - Room 112 overloking street and restaurants. Quite noisy, especially at the weekend, with noise until the early hours of the morning, not from the restaurants but the bars further down the street. Pillows were lumpy and not very supportive Not many drawers or hangers - exposed wardrobe which I personally don't like! No hooks in bathroom for towels. Bathrobes not provided, unlike other 4-star hotels we have stayed at in Madeira. Egg menu at breakfast with an extra charge. €6 for an omelette!! One morning the pastel de natas were very overcooked and inedible, which was such a shame. Breakfast staff made no attempt to acknowledge any guests. No proper shower facilities on the rooftop terrace, only a toilet & washbasin. Hotel does not have a proper bar, but as we were checking out I noticed a limited drinks list on reception. Not mentioned at time of check-in. Pool table in lounge area, but no details of where to get the balls from and reception wasn't always manned

The hotel is right in the centre of the harbour area with ten restaurants within 100 metres of the door. Despite the buzz outside, the hotel itself is charming and peaceful. They only serve breakfast here, but that wasn't a problem. The staff were unfailingly polite and knowledgeable. Although the little rooftop pool and terrace was a bit cool in November, it would be a real bonus in the summer months. Would defo stay here again.

We stayed for a week over new year in this great location near the harbour of the former fishing village Câmara de Lobos which is about 10/15 minutes drive from Funchal. There were about 8 or 9 very nice small restaurants with 100 feet of the hotel. The hotel itself served a good breakfast selection including gluten free options, the room was comfortable and the service efficient.

The hotel is located near the seafront at a busy street filled with restaurants and bars. The staff is friendly and helpful. They were able to recommend locations and places to visit at the village and in Funchal. The hotel and our room were very tidy and clean. The breakfast was average but the quality was good. The hotel has good access to local buses and for taxis nearby. Comfortable stay for a reasonable price at a beautiful location.

Great little hotel tucked away in the cobbled streets. It was very clean and we were well looked after. The breakfasts were very good with a large selection of fruits, cereals, cheeses, hams etc and even dinky pastel de natas. There was a band playing in the local street on the Saturday, we could hear it from the room but it wasn’t too loud. The swimming pool is on the roof and is tiny, but being November we had it to ourselves ( it was that cold!)
