  Charming old house with antique furniture. Located beside a beautiful church in the old city, close to bars and restaurants. Great choice for breakfast at communal table. Sara, Patricio and Monica were so welcoming and helpful.

  Sincerely dedicated hosts

  These are real people who want to make your acquaintance and help you enjoy their special island. Sarah is knowledgable and indulgent about what you might want to see. Monica is the breakfast chef and takes pride in her work. Patricio is an amazing man who helped me retrieve my credit card and drove me all the way out to camara de Lobos for an entire morning, My room had its own garden and terrace and view of the mountain. Tremendous experience.

  Perfect stay in paradise

  20 Mar 2025

  Staying at Vitorina Corte Guesthouse was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal.We stayed in the Tower Room and the room and the view were exactly as shown on the website. I could have spent all day in the room just looking out the windows!The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, especially Monica who also makes an amazing breakfast.I was worried about other reviews that mentioned noise from the nearby bar. There was only noise on one night that we were there (I think it was too cold for there to be outside entertainment on the other days) but it did not bother us and was over by midnight.The location of the guesthouse was perfect for us. On the outer edge of the old town so a bit of a walk to the city centre, but still easily walkable. Very close to the cable car and to the beginning of the promenade along the ocean. Having the church next door also meant you saw locals, not just tourists! There were many "touristy" restaurants around - but make sure you go to the nearby Bela 5 Snack Bar. Excellent food at a good price.

  great old family home, welcoming atmosphere

  15 Jan 2025

  Another (the 6th) successful stay in this quirky old family home. Very clean room, large shower and sunny balcony overlooking the quaint cobbled street. Road is quiet at night apart from some noise from a local bar on friday and saturday, which did not trouble us. Excellent breakfast, a great chance to meet fellow guests or ask advice from the helpful, friendly staff.We always stay here for the excellent location near the transport links, restaurants and not too far up the hill. A few minutes walk from most tourist amenities.

  Beautiful old house, short walk to centre, not for light sleepers

  14 Sept 2024

  Beautiful old house, but no lift so beware if you have a heavy suitcase. I stayed on the top floor which was a very spacious room with TV and balcony with anazing view and renovated modern bathroom. Staff were welcoming and friendly but charged 3 euros for using the bottle of water from my fridge (costs less than a euro in the shop). They are also hard to find during the day, desk was mostly empty. If you are a light sleeper, there is a loud bar nextdoor which has parties till midnight on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, and the closed windows didn't cancel the noise out unfortunately. Apart from that there is a cute church just outside which makes loud sounds hourly from 8am till 8pm so almost no chance to take a nap in the afternoon after an early hike. My room didn't get cleaned until 3 days into my stay, and the cleaner who had no English at all came into my room in the afternoon around 3pm when I was trying to nap after a 6am hike. Very close to a natural swimming pool (5.70 euros entrance) and a short cobblestone walk into the centre. All in all good stay but not for light sleepers.
