Hotel room in Machico

MoRe # Buddha Room

JohnRating, 5 stars1 month ago

What can I say? This is more like a “boutique hostel” than a hotel of course, but the environmental aspects and communal atmosphere are impeccable. Great location, great kitchen facilities to prepare food in, and super-comfortable and original design features. Ruben, Maria and all made us incredibly welcome. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone who wants informal luxury.

A vibrant red bridge made of wood spans through lush greenery, connecting different areas of a tropical garden. Tall palm trees frame the scene under a partly cloudy sky, while diverse plants and foliage create a serene atmosphere.

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 days ago

The house is welcoming, the decor cozy. The view is beautiful. There is everything you need in the bedroom and bathroom (two kinds of pillows, a straightening iron, comfortable linens, a nice kitchen). Breakfast is very hearty and fills the belly for a good part of the day. The hosts are very nice and take care of us. Thanks, both of you! (Janet, thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness)
