Couples getaway trip

We had a fantastic stay with Maria. The rustic property was in a cute, quiet, and private location with an amazing view of the ocean. Easy parking was available below the church, which was a 5-minute walk away from the property. The garden and view were highlights of the property that we will always remember. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the place to anyone wanting to visit Madeira.

Idyllic views at the end of the world

If you are looking for a secluded breathtaking location with a cozy, rustic but functional lodging - this house is for you. Sure there are some insects, and the house is not brand new but it all adds to the charm. And I promise you - you won't find any better view for your swims, dinners and birdwatching. The host was super helpful!

Beautiful views in a quiet and secluded location

We had a wonderful 2 week family holiday here in mid-August. The best thing about this place is the location. It is beautifully secluded with a view of hundreds and hundreds of miles of sea, The sunsets are spectacular. There is not even a hint of tourism in the locality, yet a twenty minute drive to Calheta gets you to a beach, water sports, restaurants, supermarkets etc . The walks from the property are steep and beautiful. Within ten or fifteen minutes you can have climbed high up through the small villages to the local bakery and coffees shop, or dropped over a kilometre down towards the stunning coastline with more breathtaking views. Outside the property the secluded pool was a welcome break from the mid day sun, and remained warm enough to swim in even late at night. The various terraces make taking meals at home even more tempting than eating out. If your priority is a quiet holiday, in a secluded location, with a pool and breathtaking scenery then you’ll enjoy this place.

In need of redecoration

There is no doubt that the views are beautiful and the swimming pool is an added bonus, very clean and well looked after. The setting is perfect, very quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, the interior decoration and furnishings are in desperate need of updating and replacing. The outside furniture was, overall, uncomfortable. The inside furniture and furnishings were, sadly, old and worn. The shutters on to the old terrace could not be opened as they were rusted shut and didn't want to force them in case they broke. This was obviously a charming and rustic property about 5 years ago but has now become tired and unloved.

Urlaub in Spitzenlage

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus schlicht aber funktional, die Außenanlagen (Terrassen, Garten, Pool) und der Blick einfach ein Traum! Wir fanden den Abstand zu Funchal eher einen Pluspunkt. Auch auf dieser Seite der Insel kann man genug unternehmen. Die Aktivitäten des hauseigenen Katzenclans waren für uns ebenfalls sehr unterhaltsam! Als einzigen Nachteil sahen wir das dritte, etwas ungemütliche Schlafzimmer im Untergeschoß, das zum Einen als ein Durchgangszimmer zum zweiten Schlafraum dient, zum Anderen durch die Treppe nach oben offen zum Wohnzimmer ist.Wir würden aber trotzdem jederzeit nochmal kommen.

Lovely view, not so lovely insects

Plain and simple: the view is breathtaking.But you have to work for it. As has been said before, you park your car at the church, walk a few hundred meters down a small road and the take 61 steps to the entrance to the garden. I don't mind such a little workout. What I care more about is my food, and that needs to be protected from tiny ants. We first found them in a lovely Bouquet of flowers which greeted us in the kitchen upon arrival. Lovely idea, not so lovely insects included. In the following days we put all food, including bread, into the fridge. We did not expect the ants to get there as well. But they did, and even found a way into a closed plastic bag full of cookies we had bought at the farmers market in Prazeres. Tiny hungry beasts ;)Apart from that, I would agree with those who describe the house as a little worn out. After all the oven seems to be as brandnew as the stainless steel pan. Still: a view to die for.

10 Tage wandern mit 6 Leuten

War eine gute gemütliche Unterkunft in einem Provinzdorf. Absolute Ruhe und Stille. Man braucht schon ein Auto. Unterkunft leider schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Nicht zu empfehlen für 6 Erwachsene Menschen. Mitunter sind Matratzen komplett durchgelegen. Pool war schön und der Garten auch. Tolle Insel.

Bel emplacement mais,...

José et Maria qui gardent le logement sont tops. Descente a pieds d'une pente bien pentue,( environ 100 metres) puis 70 marches, pour arriver a la maison. Sachant que l'on ne peux pas se garer tout prés. Maison très très vétuste, un manque total d'entretien du mobilier et des équipements. Photos a l'appuie. La vue est belle.

Teleurstelling

Huis zeer vochtig en koud. Handdoeken en kleding bleven hele week vochtig. Schimmel in de keuken(kasten) en de badkamer. Lekkage boven het aanrecht/kookplaat. Waterkoker lekte zodat er water stond op de elektrische plaat. Muizen en mieren in de keuken. Meubels (bank en stoel) oud en vies. CD speler etc functioneerde niet. Slechte, oude matrassen in de bedden. Deur naar badkamer kon niet dicht, slot kapot. Huis niet geschikt voor 6 personen zoals in de advertentie stond; 4 krukken bij de ‘eettafel’ Al met al een grote teleurstelling
