"If you're looking for a modern and boutique experience, this is the place to stay. We were there for two nights, three days and really enjoyed our stay. The property is modern, clean and very no frills. The breakfast buffet and food options for lunch are terrific! We ate dinner at local restaurants, so can't really speak much on the dinner options. The location is nicely set back from the beach, however, it's about a 5-8 min walk down a road located in front of the hotel. Beach...

Torre Praia Hotel

Torre Praia Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Love this hotel! We stay at this hotel 3-4 times per season. The staff is amazing & go out of their way to assist you. Included breakfast has something to satisfy everyone with once again, great service staff. The hotel & restaurant are right ON the beach.Nothing like watching the sunrise while having breakfast. The hotel has an old world Madeira feel to it & you will never forget it. It is within walking distance to shopping & restaurants. The bike/motorcycle etc. rental shop is just up the hill. Note to bikers, they are redoing all the sewer lines heading up to Calheta beach & roads are terrible & dangerous. Bike path is even worse, nothing but terrible bumps & holes. Took quite a fall as result of the very bad pavement. But the restaurant overlooking the beach at Calheta is magnificent, so take a taxi, bus or just walk. The room was clean and no carpet, thank goodness. There is English language television which is nice. The patio outside our room was spacious with table & chairs to enjoy. Once again, notice the old world Madeira in the lounge furniture in the lobby areas, these are all handmade and spectacular. Can't wait to go again!"
