    The perfect place for a weekend break from the city. All the nature around, the mountains, the garden, the fruits... what and immersive experience with the island identity. Also the breakfast, the local products, the natural juices, was a must!...

    We liked everything! The staff were incredibly friendly, the view from our room was stunning, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious - especially knowing that the fruits (and more) were grown right on the property. We also really appreciated...

At Solar da Bica, our team is our family and it is this sense of home way from home we want our guests to experience with us.

Property information

Solar da Bica is a cosy and quiet agro tourism house, nestled at the magic and idyllic São Vicente valley, in the Madeira Island. Located in an area with one unique view over the valley, it offers unforgettable landscapes through the breathtaking scenario of the mountains, including the exuberant vegetation of the Laurissilva Forest. The property results from the reconstruction, adaptation and preservation of the traditional typology of two century-old houses. Although it preserves many of the original elements, the Solar da Bica was adapted with modern infrastructures, of which are worth mention the indoor heated swimming pool, the sauna, the panoramic garden and the biological vegetable-garden where many of our breakfast products come from. There is no restaurant at Solar da Bica. For our privileged location, to better explore the island, and to drive to local restaurants and sample our delicious cuisine, a car is recommended. Madeira Airport is 45 km away.

Neighbourhood information

The nearest restaurants are at 4km. Bus stop 4km. IMPORTANT NOTE: Car is recommended.
