Beautiful

A very lovely cottage with beautiful gardens and an amazing view! The road is a bit steep to get to but we managed absolutely fine, if your a nervous driver be aware. The cottage had a few very minor issues but it was gorgeous

Two weeks in lovely views

We spend here for two weeks and it was so wonderful. The place was exactly like in pictures and the view was almost more beautiful. It was nice and quiet and everyone was so helpful. We didn't have car, so needed good shoes for hiking, but the bus goes also quite near and quite often.

The cottage was beautiful and view was incredible. The host was very easy to contact via whats app and the check in process was smooth, but I would hire a car with a good engine as the route to get to the property is very steep and winding. The property could do with better cleaning and maintenance as there was mold on the wall of the kitchen pannels and dust/dirt/cobwebs in the corners and under the bed. The shower head holder was also broken. A few adjustments and this property could be amazing. We had to contact the host as the central heating was switched off at the mains on our first night and the small heaters provided would fuse the whole building. This was inconvinient but dealt with the following day.

Lovely peaceful accommodation in the hills with a great view. Simple set-up but has everything you need for a week. The hosts were really good at communicating and resolved issues very quickly. You just need to be a confident driver to get up the steep roads leading to the property.

Beautiful cabin in the garden

You will stay in a charming cottage, surrounded by an astonishing garden and overlooking the vast, enchanting ocean. The cottage is not very new, you can see that most of its equipment has been heavily used for many years. But this is not the five star hotel that you were signing up for, so you are ok with the scratches on the sofa, broken bench on the terrace or some ants in the bathroom and just embrace the tranquility and beauty of this place. Some sad vibes with the leftovers of a SPA nearby that burned in the 2016' wildfire, hope it will be renovated soon and this beautiful levada will regain its past glamour!

An unexpected Paradise

This was supposed to be a romantic adventure for my husband and I but at the last moment he was unable to go with me so it became was solo adventure. Admittedly driving on Madeira Island can be surprising because of the narrow roads and fast speeds the locals drive. I was a little nervous trying to find the location but once I understood how to open the gate to the property I was amazed by even the driveway. It was covered with flowers the entire way to my cottage. I parked in a parking area and walked down to my cottage and it was just gorgeous. Almost hidden with hydrangeas and agapantha blooms. It looks over the ocean from the outside area and I almost hated to even go inside. It was just adorable. The kitchen had a slightly vintage feel to it, which I loved and the bedroom upstairs was super charming. I almost wish I had more free time to be able to just hang out at the cottage and enjoy its beauty. It also had a walking trail that I found that went to a lookout over the valley where you could see houses across the way perched on the mountain. This was really cool, I even went out there with a flashlight at night as and saw a little church and houses lit up at night as the fog crept in it made some really amazing pictures. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and if I ever go back to Madeira Island this is where I'm staying! I highly recommend it if you don't mind driving a little bit out of town to enjoy the beauty, the quiet and the views. Tip the gate won't open if your car is

Location is amazing but the cottage has definitely seen better days and needs a deep clean and some new paint/furnishing. The bed was comfy, the kitchen well equipped but it was quite dark (needs more upstairs light) and there was mould on the walls/round the windows and back of the sofa. The view is incredible and it stays really cool up in the hills compared to by the coast which was great. Would not recommend if you have misophonia because there are a lot of local dogs barking all hours - would otherwise be very quiet!

Unser 14-tägiger Aufenthalt war ganz Ok, Parkähnlicher Garten mit tollem Blumenmeer und herrlicher Blick auf das Meer,auch das Häuschen wirkt auf den ersten Blick verzaubert und gemütlich.Richtig sauber war es jedoch nicht.Böden und Treppenaufgang staubbedeckt, in den Ecken überall Dreck und Spinnenweben.Bad bräuchte eine Generalsanierung, Schimmel und Schmutz in der Dusche in den Ecken und Zwischenräumen , Handtuchhalter defekt, keine Möglichkeit etwas aufzuhängen.Duschkopf war bei Ankunft abgerissen wurde am dritten Tag repariert.Nach einer Woche Wechsel der Handtücher , die mit zwei kleinen und zwei etwas grösseren etwas knapp kalkuliert waren ,da Trocknung sehr schwierig war.Das einzige und nach einer Woche verschmutzte Geschirrtuch wurde zusammengefaltet zur weiteren Benutzung in die Besteckschublade zurückgelegt.Haus war nach Wechsel der Handtücher und Bettwäsche und Reinigung vom Reinigungsteam bei unserer Ankunft Abends unverschlossen, das geht gar nicht!Terasse und Eingangsbereich verschmutzt bei Anreise.Liegen und Aussenmöbel ebenfalls nicht sauber, die Auflagen der Liegen und Stühle mit Brandflecken übersät und schmutzig wenig einladend zum draufsetzen.Ansich ein ruhiges Fleckchen,ländliche Umgebung weg vom Trubel mit herrlicher Aussicht. Das ständige Gebell der Hunde in der Nachbarschaft,sogar nachts nervt und stört die Idylle gewaltig.Wenn etwas mehr auf Sauberkeit geachtet würde wäre der Aufenthalt wesentlich angenehmer.

Danke – Ihr Feedback hilft uns, besser zu werden.

Schöne Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage

Check-In lief super mit Infos per Mail. Grundsätzlich sehr ruhige und geräumige Unterkunft. Jedoch waren einige Hunde in der Nachbarschaft, die den ganzen Tag und die ganze Nacht durchgebellt haben. Das hat die Idylle ein bisschen gestört.

Schönes Häuschen in den hügeln über Funchal

Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt in diesem Häuschen, schöner Blick vom Hügel hinab. Auch im Sommer hatten wir angenehme Temperaturen. Das haus selbst ist nett eingerichtet. Die Anfahrt ist etwas herausfordernd da es doch weit oben auf einem steilen Hügel steht, aber ist das erst mal geschafft erwartet einen ein nettes Häuschen.

Wunderbare Aussicht

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft. Die Lage ist schon fast ländlich oberhalb von Funchal mit Blick auf ein Seitental und den Atlantik. Neben ein paar feuchten Abenden, wenn der Passat die Wolken an Land treibt und sie sich oben auf Höhe der Quinta in den Bergen festhängen, hatten wir auch sonnige Abenden. Praktisch war die gute Anbindung an das Bussystem, in nur 15 Minuten ist man unten in der Innenstadt am Atlantik. Die Anfahrt ist etwas schwierig. Am besten lässt man sich zum Eingang des ehemaligen Choupana Hill Spa Ressort leiten. Gleich darüber ist Quinta Devonia in ihrer tollen Gartenanlage.

Ruhig und Entspannt

Das Haus ist super ruhig oben auf dem Berg über Funchal gelegen. Am besten schaut man sich vorher Mal genau an wo das Navi einen lang fahren lässt, da die kürzeste Route auch die schmalste und steilste Straße ist die man finden kann, es gibt einen besseren, angenehmeren weg als den. Das Haus selber ist schon und sauber, lediglich das Bad hätte eine Sanierung nötig. Daher gibt es davon wohl auch keine Bilder. Den Außenbereich könnte man ebenfalls liebevoller und sauberer gestalten. Alles in allem waren wir zufrieden aber das gewisse etwas und der Blick für's Detail fehlt.

Great and authentic house

Great location on the mountain, away from the noise and tourism. The terrace is great and we spent many hours relaxing there and enjoying the view. The water pressure in the shower was less than good, and the beds a little to the hard side, but I think that’s the only negative thing we have to say about this lovely house. The drive up there was very scary! In the end we ended up taking a route via the football stadium which felt more secure, so we recommend that if the narrow mountain roads scare you a bit.

We would LOVE to come back to this charming little house!

This was one of our best vacations. We loved our charming little Nogueira house and the spacious garden with spectacular flowers and ferns and trees. We enjoyed the self catering facilities as well as the possibility to order food. The neighbourhood is quiet and pleasant. Communication with our hosts (An Island Apart) was smooth and fast. We would love to return to Madeira for another stay at Quinta Devonia.
