Hotel Atrio

Good hotel at the upper end of 4 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟. Located at an elevation of approx. 500m it is a great starting point for many outdoor activities, in particular hiking. Great support for that with tips, guides, and also some equipment by the friendly staff. Good breakfast with buffet selection plus eggs and pancakes cooked to order. Also dinner is served optionally, sometimes some options were not available. Clear recommendation.

I spent a week in Madeira, staying at a different hotel each night, and Atrio was by far the best one. The whole experience was exceptional. The swimming pool is amazing, the private houses are spacious, spotless, and come with their own terraces surrounded by beautiful nature. The food was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. It was my boyfriend’s birthday, and they helped us organise a surprise cake and even set up a special birthday table for us. After we checked out, they kindly stored all our luggage - including what felt like a hundred little bags - so we could go for a hike without worry. They even packed up the leftover cake and made us sandwiches for the hike. This was truly an unforgettable experience. I’m already planning to come back, and I couldn’t recommend Atrio more highly.

Had a fabulous 1 week stay here. Extremely peaceful & quiet if that is what you're after, as we were. You'd need a taxi to get down into Calheta itself, or ideally hire a car. Lodges are beautiful and the sea view is stunning. Quality of food in restaurant is top class.

Great hotel, nice view, good facilities, large room and service is great. Delicious menu, recommended to have dinner here! Quite remote but no need to go elsewhere after a day of hiking.

Atrio is a very nice and tranquil hotel above Calheta. One of the Levada starts right on top of the hotel (at 500 steep meters!) and is less frequented than some other ones. The rooms are well appointed and the breakfast is great. The staff at the reception could be more knowledgeable about hiking but lends the Rother guide, the hiker bible so can be forgiven. Having a car is a must.|A special mention for Christina, one the servers in the restaurant: she was friendly and very helpful on hikes and very efficient in the restaurant.

Stayed 2 nights at Atrio in May. What a beautiful find - the service was great and super helpful. Loved our room and little balcony on the first floor. The food was excellent. I would love to go back with a car to explore more but it’s also do able with taxi. Thanks Atrio!

This is a gem! We absolutely loved everything: the gardens, the view, the pool, the rooms, how peaceful the place is, how lovely and helpful the staff was. Breakfast was great, with local, good quality and home made products. We are very happy to have found this place and hope to be back one day.

Great small-scale family owned hotel with excellent personnel. The rooms are primarily located in small buildings scattered in the lush garden, each with an own private outdoor area. The restaurant offers a high quality kitchen and its personnel is excellent, with eye for detail. If you want a peaceful retreat after having been outdoors during the day, this is definitely the place!
