The home is beautiful â one of the nicest weâve ever rented. Itâs setting is perfect, the views incredible, the house is furnished impeccably, the kitchen is perfectly appointed, and the outside living space is plentiful and varied. Youâll immediately feel at home and wonât want to leave.
Two things that, while not negative about Seacrest, renters should be aware of: the drive to the property (especially the driveway leading to the house) is not for the faint of heart. Having said that, this applies to most of Madeira. Generally, the roads are in excellent condition and best-in-class highways/tunnels/directional signage are plentiful. But be aware of roads that scale the side of the mountains â the drop-offs are steep!
The other comment weâd offer to visitors pertains to âthe dogsâ. As noted in other reviews, the sound of barking dogs (from both a nearby kennel and from individual homes) can, at times, be intense throughout the day and night. Unfortunately, the best solution we found was to shut the windows which was disappointing given that the weather and scenery is so perfect. It may not bother everyone â just something to be aware of.
All is all â Seacreast is an elegant and wonderful place to spend a holiday.
