We loved the little village of Jardim do Mar. It is easily walkable with lots intricately designed and built sidewalks throughout the town. There's a short promenade easily accessible from the hotel.

Company info

Cecília was the first host in the village, and her journey into hospitality began almost by accident when a surfer, drawn by the beauty of the waves, ended his day in need of a place to stay. That unexpected encounter was the beginning of what became a lifelong passion for hosting. Today, Cecília’s House remains surrounded by flowers and open views of the sea. This natural and peaceful environment can be your home too, with Cecília herself as your caring and always-available host. Her son, Hélder, takes care of reservations and guest communication before your arrival, ensuring everything is ready for your stay in this special corner of Madeira. Once you’re here, you’ll be welcomed and looked after by Cecília and Maura, whose warm hospitality has made guests feel at home for decades.

Property info

Cecilia’s House is a family-run guest house located in the timeless village of Jardim do Mar (Garden on the Sea). Established in 1995, it was the very first guest accommodation in the area. Originally our family home, lovingly transformed into a welcoming space for travelers. The guest house is made up of two charming houses, each with its own unique character. Nestled in a quiet corner of the village, they are surrounded by gardens and offer beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and the natural beauty of the coast. While the buildings carry a lot of history and charm, please note that they were built many years ago. This is not a luxury hotel, but rather a simple, authentic, and much-loved home.
