Located in the heart of Ponta Delgada, north of Madeira Island, this typical Madeiran style house, which reminds us of our grandparents' house, is in perfect condition. Ideal for those looking for a traditional, spacious and cozy accommodation, with sea view and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, to rest and spend quality time with family. The property has a backyard with space for a solarium and to have a coffee or tea, while enjoying the surrounding tranquility or reading a book. This house stands out for its antique style and classic decoration, as well as for privileging the natural light inside. With 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, this house can accommodate a maximum of 6 people. Outside, the tiled yard is a reference of Madeiran houses, as well as the flowers and plants that surround every corner of the house.
Access to the house is via a path and takes about a minute on foot. The house has reserved parking for guests on the street.

Traumhafte Terrassen
Wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt. Die Terrassen sind wirklich unschlagbar. Für 5 Personen ist die Bettensituation doch ein bisschen eng, da die Doppelbetten vermutlich nur 1,20m breit sind (wir haben nicht nachgemessen, aber es war sehr eng und wir sind alle 1,40m Betten gewohnt). Die Schränke sind schon etwas älter, daher ein bisschen muffig und ein paar Tierchen haben wir auch angetroffen ;) Nicht weiter schlimm, aber ggf. verbesserungswürdig. Aber insgesamt sehr ruhige, schöne Unterkunft mit toller Aussicht und toller Lage.

Quiet place in a rural setting on the north shore of Madeira
Make sure you are clear about the location of the property. Unless you have a car you are basically stuck in the house in a very rural place which may be just what you want if you are looking for “quiet” and to wind down. Otherwise be prepared to drive about 30 to 45 minutes a day. The property also gives an interesting perspective on how the locals live. It is not touristy at all which was fine by us

Lovely house but bad electricity
House is beautifully located and has a nice view, you feel like in a real home with the old furniture. But the electricity is dangerous and not in a good condition, constant power shortage and dangerous taped wires we also had electrical sparks outside when the power went off. Water pump makes strange noise each minute this is annoying in the night. Owners seriously need to modernize the electrical state of the house

Bad cleaning
Outside nice house, inside not cleaned and kitchen bad equipped and lots more... But the Company AnIsland Apart was very quick and helpful with remboursement of money due to our early leaving the house after one night instead of six. Price for the lack of comfort in this old house is much too high. People were nice.
