Perfect Stay near everything and hiking.

The house was immaculately clean, well-equipped, and full of character, an ideal place to relax after a day exploring Madeira. The location is great, peaceful, near fantastic hiking trails and viewpoints. Waking up and drinking a coffee on the patio was heaven. Everything was well taken care of, thanks to André, a fantastic host organizing everything with attention to detail. This was my home from home during this visit, and I'm already planning on returning. Highly recommend to anyone seeking comfortable and well situated accommodation in Madeira!

laut, stickig und dunkel

ich musste im apartment zu viele ameisen und andere 6-beiner rausschmeissen, als dass ich eine bessere bewertung geben könnte. auch ist das apartment extrem laut, man ist quasi mitten in der bar, welche auf der gegenüberliegenden strassenseite liegt. auch hört man alles aus den anderen wohnungen. mit 60/nacht zu teuer für was es ist, zumal weder gelüftet werden kann noch die sonne das apartment jemals erreichen wird.
