The Modern & Recycled House — Hotel in Machico

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel! My partner and I stayed in the Hiking Room, and it exceeded all our expectations. The design is stunning – a beautiful rustic style where every detail has clearly been carefully thought out.

The hotel also has a fully equipped, lovely kitchen that was super convenient. It's in a great location, close to the airport, which made everything easy for us.

We had our own private bathroom while still enjoying a shared kitchen and balcony, which struck the perfect balance. The host who welcomed us was incredibly kind and open.

A truly unique, sustainable, and soul-soothing stay. I would...

Madeira is an Island for adventurers and the MoRE Guest House is the perfect place for the modern day explorer to call home. Run by warm and open hosts, who themselves love to hike Madeira’s countless trails, it is a place to make new friends, share a meal with likeminded travelers, and spend a few, or more!, cozy days and nights.

Machico is also the perfect place to be located in Madeira if you want easy access to some of the most beautiful trails. Come to MoRE if you want to feel and be treated like a friend and not just another guest passing through. But I warn you, you’re going to want...
