Outstanding hospitality at exceptional 5-star home

We loved every minute of our stay here and look forward to one day returning. Owner and property manager very friendly and accommodating to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend if staying here to rent car for short drives to the other locations around island for activities. Being near airport was not big deal we live just as near one where we are from and actually went down to do some plane spotting from awesome point.

Fantastic holiday on Madeira

We had a holiday on Madeira in May and stayed in Anna's house for 10 days. Anna, the hostess, is a very nice and hospitable lady, and so is her helper, Eli. The house is very clean, and the kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. The view from the garden is breathtaking. It's just a few minutes' drive from the airport and the pretty seaside village of Santa Cruz. A local snack bar, frequented by locals, is within a two-minute walk.

Madeira Adventure

We stayed for 10 days in the property as a base to explore Madeira. The property was perfect for all 5 of us, lots of space, well equipped and immaculate. Anna is the host and is the loveliest person. She had baked us xakes for our arrival and supplied us with extra beach towels when needed. She also provided basic food and fruit., lots of advice about the area including a local farmers market we would never have known about. We loved our stay and visited most of the island. I would highly recommend this accomodation as a hub for exploring the island.

Very comfortable stay but you definitely need a car!

The house is lovely, I was a bit disappointed to find it wasn’t the whole house- I was looking forward to waking up to the view from that lovely balcony, however, we had most of the downstairs part of the building. The beds were comfortable with duvets and blankets available. The lounge/ dining room had a good sized table for family of 6, unfortunately there wasn’t enough comfortable sofas for everyone to lounge around as there was only a leather sofa to sit 2. The lounge would benefit from having standard lamps rather than just the 6 bulb chandelier which we found to be far too bright to relax in. The kitchen is well fitted out with various sizes of pans, a huge assortment of crockery and cutlery, except for a bread knife, considering how much fresh bread is eaten here that would’ve been appreciated. It would have been very helpful to have a folder with useful information eg instructions for ovens, dishwasher, washing machine, what rubbish to put in each bin, etc. Due to the very hilly location and lack of reliable buses, I would definitely recommend hiring a car as we wasted 2 days walking up and down the hill and waiting on buses which didn’t arrive, much to out teenagers disgust!

Exceptionally clean, well equipped holiday let near Santa Cruz.

Anna,the host, together with her very capable housekeeper,Bela and maintenance/gardener Gerberto have created an exceptionally clean, well-equipped let. The kitchen has all you need and more, beds are comfortable, towels and linen fresh, the showers are hot and powerful, there is WIFI, TV and enclosed car-parking. We were greeted with fresh flowers and treats, including a typical Maderian cake home-baked by Bela. The proximity to the airport is not an issue. However, there are a few issues. The house is set up as a series of apartments, at least one that appears to be a permanent let. One does not have exclusive use of the building. You need to specify the number of rooms and beds needed when you book to avoid confusion. There are approx. 12 steps down from the car park to the entrance which could be problematic for some.The 'dropped pin' which shows the accommodation as one minute from the beach is very misleading. The accommodation is over 40 minutes, of a difficult uphill walk along a busy road without a footpath for most of the way. The BBQ is upstairs in the car park and would appear as never commissioned. These may appear trivial issues, when appraising such a wonderful holiday let, but they need to be addressed as they are very traumatic to find on arrival after a long stressful travel time.The attention to cleanliness and the follow-up help, provided almost instantly, when needed, is exemplary. Thank you Anna, Bela and Gerberto for a wonderful stay. We recommend!!

What a perfect location to explore Madeira.

We stayed in the apartment for 6 nights. It was an excellent location for a night out in Santa Cruz. Virtually a 5min walk from the house (5min drive to Machico town, Santa Cruz airport 7min drive) and many other popular locations in Funchal city (less than 25-30min drive to Angels fall, 25 fontes falls, Skywalk and other few attractions). The house has a great atmosphere and makes for a nice place to unwind after a long day of exploring the city and Anna left plenty of useful information about the area and points of interest. The apartment was immaculate with modern furnishings to an excellent standard. There were special touches such as toiletries situated in the bathroom. In addition, the kitchen facilities were excellent with all utilities required should you wish a quiet dining with family. Anna kindly left some welcome snacks for us. The house has tea, coffee etc… The house was very spacious and as described could fit 6 people adequately. Anna was very helpful and kind and we could contact her very easily. (She would always reply within half an hour) Highly recommended property and keen to pursue furth bookings!! FIVE STAR RATING!!

Nous avons passé les 4 premières nuits de notre séjour dans le logement d’Anna. Tout était absolument parfait, Anna est d’une grande gentillesse et nous a accueils très chaleureusement avec de nombreuses attentions (petits gâtée aux, boissons, etc.). Le logement en lui même est spacieux, très très bien équipé et surtout d’une propreté irréprochable. Nous n’avons manqué de rien, nous nous sentions comme chez nous avec une vue magnifique en prime (terrasse extérieure à disposition et très bien aménagée). Le logement est également parfaitement bien situé, à quelques mn de l’aéroport, mais sans aucune nuisance sonore. Le centre ville de Santa Cruz est à 5mn en voiture ; l’accès aux différents points de randonnées est aussi très rapide et pratique depuis la location. Rien à redire sur ce séjour et ce logement ; nous reviendrons certainement à Madere, sans aucun doute chez Anna . Je recommande ce logement les yeux fermés. Merci

Leider haben wir keine Villa vorgefunden. So wurde das Angebot bei Expedia beschrieben. Die obere Etage wird vom Besitzer bewohnt, der jedoch nicht anwesend war. Die Gartenwohnung, die zur Benutzung stand hatte ein kleines Doppelbett. Schlafkomfort ist mässig. Die Küche war sehr dunkel. Das Sofa hatte einen schweiss Geruch und fühlte sich klebrig an. Das positive war, dass Elly die nebenan lebt sehr bemüht war uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Sie stellte auch den Kontakt zur Besitzerin her. Anscheinend wusste sie nichts davon, dass ihr Appartement unter Angaben "ganze Villa die sie mit niemandem teilen" auf der Expedia Plattform angeboten wird. Sie arbeitet nur mit einemf4anzösischen Anbieter zusammen. Auch der Zahl6ngverkehr über Vorbo war ihr nicht bekannt. Zu guter letzt, wir mussten in Dollar bezahlen, und auch eine Kaution hinterlegen wovon im Beschieb keine Rede war. Irreführendes Angebot welches unser Vertrauen zu Expedia sehr beeinträchtigt.

Malgré une météo sur le centre de l’île qui a quelque peu contrarié nos parcours de randonnées en « altitude » les randonnées côtières et les marches le long des Levadas sont fantastiques ! Les paysages sont sublimes! Les routes sont étonnantes de raideurs et très bien entretenues ! C’est une île aussi bien sportive que touristique ! De plus nous avons été accueillis comme des princes par notre hôte et nous avons apprécié la gastronomie locale et les marchés typiques ! Bref semaine géniale !
