Authentisch, erholsam, voller Natur, liebenswert, aussergewöhnlich.

Perfekte Lage für alle Wanderungen. Super entspannen in der Unterkunft einfach ruhig und gemütlich. Abel (Vater vom Gastgeber) immer herzlich hat uns mit selbst gekochtem Essen empfangen. Kühlschrank war auch befüllt. Die Schaafe haben uns begrüßt. Rund um perfekt. Danke Edgar Abel und Teresa

Un dépaysement total au calme et face à la mer

Un accueil parfait. Abel nous attendait pour nous remettre les clés et faire le tour de l'appartement. Abel est quelqu'un de très aimable et qui souhaite vous accueillir dans les meilleures dispositions : - corbeille de fruits frais - corbeille de légumes du jardin - des oeufs frais des poules que vous verrez dans grand jardin - un pudding au maracuja fait maison et préparé pour nous - une boîte de gateaux de madère Bref, nous nous sentons privilégiés et même si nous avions lu des commentaires mettant en avant l'accueil spécial, le vivre est quelque chose de très agréable alors MERCI ! A noter aussi, une communication très simple avec Abel et Edgar.

Possible que vous entendiez les voisins des autres appartements, cela dépendra de leur attitude (silencieuse ou non). Etant donné que nous étions à Madère en décembre, janvier, nous ne pouvions pas faire sécher nos vêtements même si une machine à laver est disponible. Cela ne nous a pas gêné et cela était dû à la période. Vous n'aurez pas ces gênes à un autre moment de l'année où il fera plus chaud.

Solar Arco de Sao Jorge was simply unforgettable, and we can't wait to return

Solar Arco de Sao Jorge is a truly enchanting place that exceeded our expectations in every way. We had the pleasure of staying in one of the courtyard apartments, which boasted a comfy terrace with ocean & hill views. The apartment itself is spacious, with a well-appointed bedroom and a modern, fully equipped kitchen. Having traveled extensively and stayed in countless accommodations, we were delighted to find that everything in the apartment was perfect and flawless. The kitchen was well-stocked with high-quality dishes and utensils, and the host, Abel, had thoughtfully prepared a delicious spread of local delicacies, including passion fruit pudding, homemade cider, traditional Madeira honey cake, fresh vegetables, eggs, and fruit. We even had the pleasure of using fresh lettuce from the backyard garden. The overall atmosphere of Solar Arco de Sao Jorge is nothing short of magical, and we looked forward to returning to our apartment every day after exploring the local trails. In fact, we often found ourselves simply sitting on the terrace, taking in the stunning views of the mountains and the ocean. Despite its remote location in a small village, the apartment is conveniently located within walking distance of two decent restaurants and a small grocery store. And for those seeking a taste of local culture, there is a cozy pub adjacent to the house that serves up delicious tangerine, passion fruit, and traditional poncha drinks. In summary, our experience at Solar Arco de Sao Jorge was simply unforgettable, and we can't wait to return and recommend it to our friends. A heartfelt thank you to Abel and Edgar for their warm hospitality and for creating such a special place for travelers to enjoy. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Great!!!

The property deserves the best rating. Everything was very well organized. The host welcomed us very warmly. There were victuals waiting for us in the room (fruit, vegetables from their own garden, marinated tuna, pudding, a bottle of Madeira and more) Thank you very much. Quiet and peaceful town, daily concert of roosters in the distance to wake up and lovely sheep in the garden. It was a great stay. Anna and Boguslaw.

Warm welcome, lovely stay.

Here you will feel more like a guest in their home, not just a holiday renter! A very warm welcome & lots of goodies added to the enjoyment of this lovely apartment & great location-so peaceful!

The only improvement might be a 2nd heater as it was a bit cold with all the rainy days we had.

Great house and very lovely owners who welcomed us very warm. Everything was prepared quite lovely from Abel. We didn't expect to get so many fresh fruits or vegetables :) wow! THANKS A LOT! Great host and house! Spacious and well equiped. Arco de Sao Jorge is a lovely village in the middle of nowhere but great for people who love to be in an area without too many others. The perfect start hiking in Madeiras north. Small shops in the village and a huge mercado in Santana. Great communication beforhand with Edgar - really felxible. thanks for everything!

Country Comfort

We loved this place! Edgar and his father Abel took great care to ensure the unit was in excellent condition and handled questions quickly and proactively. The entire place was extremely clean and well appointed - kitchen fully stocked with not only pots, pans, an excellent coffee machine, etc. but fresh veggies, fruit and more. While being in the centre of little Arco de São Jorge, your view is totally private and totally cute watching little lambs and sheep run around. The bed is comfortable and bedroom very spacious. The portable heater came in handy after a rainy day hiking. There are too many things to comment on. We definitely hope to return!

I didn’t want to leave.

Best holiday house ever

Edgar’s and Abel’s large, two storey vacation house in Arco de Sao Jorge is secluded and ideally located in a partly walled area with a massive garden full of palm trees and banana plants. You can park on the premises and won’t be bothered by anyone except the friendly sounds of the sheep and chickens. The house has a large kitchen with everything you need, and I mean everything. There are two large bedrooms with enough cabinets, their own tv and private bathroom. The bedrooms are connected through a spiral staircase, not through a door. The upper bedroom has it’s own terrace with mountain view. 50m from the house you have a lovely miradouro with vast views of the ocean. The biggest supermarket of the north east is located in Santana on a 20 minute drive. For simple groceries you can use the local store down the road. Madeira is a small island, and many attractions such as many beautiful levada’s, the laurisilva forest, the Pico Ruivo, Funchal and the coolest swimming location in Porto Moniz are all within a 30-45 minutes drive. The north is beautiful and has a lot of different scenery. You can easily spend two weeks here with daily excursions. And make sure you spend it in Edgar’s place, because the friendliness of his family is unsurpassed in supplying everything you may need, in great communication and making sure you will have the best time you can have.

A fantastic place to stay!

We have never had such a warm and great welcome before. Edgar's parents are the best hosts ever! The fruits, vegatables, eggs, bread and wine were so yummy :-) We enjoyed the house and the garden (with the sheep) very much despite the rainy winter weather. And the location is perfect to explore Madeira's North/East/West as well as for mountain trips. We would just love to come back.

Armco Sao Jorge is a small village in north Madeira, perfect for peace, quiet and walking

Our hosts Abel, Teresa and Edgar were fantastic. We had to quarantine until we had got our test results (12 hours) we arrived to find we had home made fish pie and passion fruit pudding all ready for us, along with enough fruit, vegetables and eggs to feed an army. We were invited for dinner too at their Quinta in Funchal. We couldn’t have asked for nicer hosts. The area is fantastic for walking/hikes. You really need a car, so you can get around the island to appreciate it fully. Arch Sao Jorge is a small friendly village on the North side of the island, remote, peaceful and we will be back

Awesome accomodation for a relaxing holiday.

The place is lovely, calm and we had super relaxing holidays in Solar Arco de São Jorge. Communication with the owner was very smooth. E-Mail and/or phone. In english, french or (of course) portuguese. The owners are very friendly and have been helpful throughout our whole stay. They provided us with very useful information on events on the island, restaurants, shops around and even on traffic if needed (closing of a tunnel nearby) which gave us the opportunity to plan our days accordingly. The owners not only gave us a very warm welcome but also a good starter kit with fresh food. Though this place has still the charme of a rural house it is restored and extended in a very modern and nice way. See the pictures. They give you a very good idea of the place. The house was clean, equipped with everything we needed and it is spacious. We stayed there as a couple, but there is plenty of room for 4 persons. There are two bedrooms with one bathroom each and a fully equipped kitchen with a living room. Plenty more: stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, capsule-coffee-machine, good working wifi, SAT-TV,... A beautiful terrace belongs to the house as well as a nice patio and a garden with fruits and vegetables that we could harvest. There were some chickens in a stable providing us with fresh eggs. And a couple of sheep on a meadow that belongs to the property gave us a friendly welcome when we came home from our trips. The village of Arco Sao Jorge is a good place to explore the different parts of the island. There are bus lines to the east and west part - but we used a car. Starting dircetly from the Solar Arco de São Jorge you can hike along a nice coast path to Boaventure and a lot of the beautiful levada hiking areas are within reach with bus/car. The north coast of Madeira is less populated and less "crowded" than the south coast. It has a stunning landscape an beautiful nature. We liked it very much!

Nothing we could complain about.
