Excellent villa
Fantastic villa on the edge of Funchal with great sea views and a lovely pool. Great indoor and outdoor spaces and sea views from all of the bedrooms and living areas. Local bars and restaurants within a 10 minute walk and easy access to the sights of Madeira.

…es war im Januar
…die Sonne brannte auf der Haut, Schwimmen im geheizten Swimmingpool 80m über dem Atlantik, Bananen reif zum Essen - traumhaft

Fantastisch verblijf
-Mooie woning met meerdere zit en ligplekken om te ontspannen.
-Schoon bij aankomst.
-Prachtig uitzicht.
-Mooi en goed zwembad.
-Buitenhaard waar we veel plezier van hebben gehad met bbq-en.
-Filterkoffiezetapparaat, dit was voor ons een teleurstelling. Bij zo'n mooi huis, hoort een goed apparaat.
-Keuken was verder groot en volledig.
-Handdoeken weinig aanwezig, en de handdoeken die aanwezig waren bevatte bleekwatervlekken. Hier hebben wij echter niet over gebeld, wellicht was het dan opgelost. Nu hebben wij zelf handdoeken aangeschaft in de supermarkt.
-Supermarkt dichtbij en restaurants.
-Een strandje is te belopen tot de kabelbaan naar beneden (kiezelstrand).
-De bedden waren naar onze smaak niet erg comfortabel. het dekbed synthetisch wat niet goed ademt. Maar dit is persoonlijke smaak.
-Airco in elke ruimte was een grote luxe.
-Jammer dat er geen omschrijving lag van de afstandsbedieningen betreft tv en multimedia en grote apparatuur bv.
-Bij vragen of onduidelijkheden was MHM snel aanwezig om dit op te lossen; dit was erg prettig.
-Ik zou nog een keer dit huis bezoeken als we naar Madeira gaan.
