Torre Praia Hotel

I liked everything about it - the view, the room, the immediate access to the beach, the views.

Not a 4 star as advertised. Property showing its age. The ladies at the front desk were very nice and helpful. Room was average. Restaurant was OK, nothing special.

The rooms were arranged around the hotel nicely and the public areas off reception were comfortable and well spaced out.

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!
