Thank you very much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you had a pleasant stay. Your feedback is valuable to us. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the near future.
This home suited our needs perfectly! It was super clean with large open rooms and beautiful decor. The large backyard was a perfect spot for admiring the magnificent vistas and sunsets. It was setup most comfortably for relaxing. We were grateful for the quiet neighborhood. It was an easy walk up ( about 6 mins.) to the town square for a coffee. Groceries, cafeteria and restaurants were nearby. Our host was most pleasant and attentive to our needs. We loved it.

Super clean home with wonderful vista.
For 2 couples, this home was perfectly suited to our needs. It was super clean with large open spaces and beautiful decor. The beds were very comfortable. Good size bathrooms with large showers. The large yard was a perfect spot for admiring the beautiful vistas & sunsets and setup comfortably for relaxing. We were able to walk up easily to the little town above us for coffee. Groceries, cafeteria & restaurants were nearby with the car. Our host was most pleasant and attentive to any of our needs. We would highly recommend this lovely home!

Jose’s home was absolutely perfect for our 10 day stay in April. The space is very private and has multiple places to sit and relax enjoying the sunsets each evening. We were surrounded by beautiful blooming flowers and fruit trees that Jose shared with us along with Madeira wine.
It’s rare in Madeira to have a large yard with grass as he does so that is an additional amenity that few other homes offer.
The view at night of Calheta is breathtaking, it will make you cry as will the view of the sea during the day.
There are no obstructed views of either.
The neighborhood has some beautiful homes,local restaurants, a church and a fabulous grocery store you can walk to.
There are two beaches with lounge chair rentals at the bottom of the hill.
You absolutely need a car, most roads are easy to navigate. Book soon as he has a busy rental and enjoy the 70 degree temps of winter months with sunshine daily and little wind.
Thank you Jose for a wonderful and most memorable trip.

Super schönes Haus mit soooo viel Meerblick
Wir hatten eine ganz wunderbare Zeit in der Unterkunft. Wir waren 5 Personen und hatten mehr als genug Platz. Das Wohnzimmer ist riesig, der Garten mit Sonnenliegen, Lounge-Area und Außenküche mit Grill ist super, um abends gemeinsam Zeit zu verbringen. Unser host José war immer für uns erreichbar und hat uns viele Insidertipps gegeben.
Ganz kleines Manko: Die Matratzen waren sehr hart, was normal ist für Portugal. Wir haben sie uns mit zusätzlichen Decken ausgepolstert.
Ansonsten war das Haus ein Traum!

Rundum toller Aufenthalt
Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig mit Blick Richtung Westen, so dass man den Sonnenuntergang von der Terrasse aus beobachten kann. Es ist toll eingerichtet und hat unsere Erwartungen erfüllt. Gerne wieder.

Hello Theresa thank you for your detailed feedback. It’s really important for us. We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay with us. You will always be welcome at our properties.
Wir haben im November 2022 insg. 14 Tage in diesem Anwesen verbracht. Die Lage ist perfekt - ein paar hundert Meter über dem Meer mit sehr schönem Blick auf selbiges und die umliegenden Hänge. Das Haus selbst ist in einem ausgezeichneten Zustand, geschmackvoll ausgestattet und absolut sauber (einmal wöchentlich wird geputzt und die Handtücher / Bettwäsche gewechselt)! Die Küche ist sehr gut eingerichtet und bietet alles was zum Kochen notwendig ist. Auch das Schlafzimmer (sehr gute Betten und mehr als ausreichend vorhandene Schränke inkl. vieler Kleiderbügel), das Wohnzimmer und das Bad sind sehr schön und lassen keine Wünsche offen. Vom Garten und der möblierten Terrasse aus blickt man über das Meer und die Berge - was will man mehr? Der Vermieter (wohnt im gleichen Haus - getrennte Eingänge) ist sehr sympathisch, mehr als hilfsbereit und stand bei Fragen immer sofort zur Verfügung. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!
