Perfect for Airport!

Hotel was conveniently situated a couple of miles from Madeira Airport, perfect for an early morning flight! Although the restaurant was closed, l was given a discount voucher for sister establishment opposite the church and the food was excellent! Left hotel by booked taxi before breakfast was served! 😢 Santa Cruz is pretty little town!
