The house is lovely and in a beautiful location right on the coast overlooking the ocean. Complete with sun loungers on the deck, and table & chairs to eat outside too. We were central for reaching the attractions we wanted to see such as the gardens and for walks, outdoor centre down the road if wanting to book activities, restaurants close by also.

Just Perfect

An absolutely wonderful place to stay. Max the host was really helpful and provided us with excellent information so it was easy to find. The villa was well equipped and very clean and homely. It was located in a very peaceful and quiet residential area. We spent most of our time, when at the villa, sitting on the decking and enjoying the amazing views. Such a relaxing holiday.

Super stay

The location is really great and so relaxed with the big terrace and seaview. The area is very quiet. Although you have to pay for the parking, we never had a parking problem and when you're away during the day and come back you just pay a little and automatically counts till the next morning. The house isn't big, but big enough as you mostly stay on the terrace. Kitchen had all you needed. Beds were very good. The contact with the host was very good, after mentioning something, we directly got a reply and was solved. 2 Good restaurants down the street at the hotels. Close to the airport and to Funchal. And a good stay to explore the whole beautiful island. We really enjoyed everything.

We had a perfect stay in Canico. We've visited the area before and know it well, but never stayed in this lovely house - the position in Canico is perfect - close to the lido and restaurants - and the house deck overlooking the sea offers a fabulous view - hard to match.

Gem on the Atlantic

My husband and I took our two boys, ages 5 and 7 for two weeks. The house was perfect for our family. We couldn’t get over the view on the deck-it is much more beautiful in person. The beds were very comfortable, we found everything really clean and someone even thoughtfully left gorgeous flowers in a vase for us upon arrival. We did find out the hard way that the parking on the street is metered and you will need to pay, so keep that in mind. All in all though, we would stay here again, we felt very thankful to have chosen this home for our family vacation!

Perfect place to relax

The sea view is picture perfect and the decking makes the property. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy good food in the many local restaurants and to explore beautiful Madeira. Handy bus route to Funchal on the express or you can take a more scenic route. Clean & comfortable accommodation - would definitely recommend.

Fabulous!

Marianne has an absolutely wonderful home. The pictures don't do justice to the view, yard and indoor accommodations. Everything is in excellent condition. Baths and kitchen are very functional and neat. Gorgeous yard and deck with plenty of space for lazy days along the sea. All communication with Marianne was timely, pleasant and informative. We had zero problems planning the trip and no need to reach out during our stay. In short, a 100% recommendation. Do yourself a favor and book this place for your next visit to lovely Madeira!

Heaven on Earth

This property is stunning. The view is so amazing we wanted to spend everyday on the deck. There are many restaurants in the immediate area. The bus stop is close with two options - a scenic trip to Funchal or and express route depending on your needs. The beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and would return!

Cosy house in fantastic location

The house location and surroundings are absolutely fabulous - house is located on a cliff, with uninterrupted south-facing panorama of Atlantic Ocean, you can hear the sound of waves breaking 20m below, very little noise from a quiet road above, and not much else - there are just two neighbouring villas, everything surrounded by a garden providing almost full privacy. House is very clean and well-maintained, kitchen is somewhat on a small size so if you plan a lot of cooking it may be a bit problematic. On the other hand - there are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, bakery etc around so it's pretty easy to focus on pure relaxation. Owners are very helpful and easy to communicate with, overall: a great find and I hope to come back some day.

Die absoluten Pluspunkte des Hauses sind seine Lage und die riesige Terrasse mit direktem Meerblick - unvergleichlich. Die Ausstattung ist ausreichend, zweckmäßig und vielseitig. Dass manches in die Jahre gekommen ist, schränkt den Gebrauch nicht ein.Wegen der Südlage genossen wir jetzt im Winter die Sonne, im Sommer wäre das für uns nur mit den Sonnenschirmen nicht machbar - hier fehlte uns echter Schatten, da der Gebäudevorsprung nur klein ist. Aber das ist natürlich individuell. Bezaubernd war auch die Ruhe, dadurch dass auf der einen Seite niemand wohnt (Renovierung) und die alte Dame auf der anderen Seite nicht wahrnehmbar war - sehr, sehr schön für uns. Wir behalten das Haus als Winterquartier auf jeden Fall im Kopf.
