Quinta Devónia - Tília,country house with sea view
How about spending a vacation in a country house that is very close to the city and all tourist activities?
While in the center people live a normal and fast city life, in the high zones, near the mountains, the calm and country atmosphere is a reality. In this small villa composed by three nice properties you can enjoy all the calm and serenity with a wide view of the Atlantic Ocean and Funchal. This small ‘farmhouse’ has three stone-walled houses, with different typologies and surrounded by small gardens. The houses have the name of trees that exist in our island. This house has two bedrooms, one with two single beds and the other with a double bed. It has two bathrooms, one with shower and the other with bathtub. The house has a kitchenette and is fully equipped. Maximum capacity of four people.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW In the Choupana area you will find a restaurant which is a 2-minute drive from the property. The nearest bakery is a 5-minute drive away and the supermarket is a 10-minute drive away, close to the city center. The city center is a 15-minute by car. The area is calm and quiet. From here you can travel to any part of the island through the municipal roads that have connection to the highway. Renting a car is the best option to discover the island at your own pace.
GETTING AROUND The best option to get to the property is by transfer. Ask us to arrange one with our local partners. It's cheaper than the cabs you'll find at the airport. If you rent a car, any navigation app will easily find the address.

A nice and beautiful appartment pretty high up the hill with a good vieuw.
The only thing that we really disliked was the bed. For us it was way to hard and there for uncomfortable to sleep on.

Nicht zu empfehlen
Das Haus liegt zwar mit tollem Ausblick in einem schönen Garten. Es ist allerdings feucht und es riecht nach Schimmel. Leider hatten wir auch eine Maus zu Gast, die wir bis zum Ende nicht mehr los wurden. Bei Starkregen kam das Wasser aus der Decke.
Schade, denn das Haus wäre sonst sehr schön.

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir bedauern aufrichtig, dass Ihr Aufenthalt durch die genannten Probleme beeinträchtigt wurde. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Feuchtigkeit und den Geruch, die Sie wahrgenommen haben, sowie für den unerwarteten Besuch einer Maus. Wir bedauern auch die durch starken Regen verursachten Wasserschäden – wir nehmen diese Vorfälle sehr ernst und werden umgehend Maßnahmen zur Lösung dieser Probleme ergreifen.
Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen die Aussicht und der Garten gefallen haben und bedanken uns für Ihr Verständnis. Es ist uns wichtig, unseren Gästen ein angenehmes und komfortables Erlebnis zu bieten. Vielen Dank für Ihr ehrliches Feedback, das uns hilft, unsere Unterkünfte zu verbessern. Wir hoffen, Sie eines Tages in einer anderen Unterkunft mit besseren Bedingungen wieder begrüßen zu dürfen.
Das Objekt liegt etwas abgelegener über Funchal. Die Strasse dorthin ist sehr steil, ein Fahrzeug mit etwas mehr kraft ist von Vorteil, aber auch mit einem kleineren im ersten Gang machbar. :D der Garten ausserhalb des Objektes ist sehr schön und voller Natur. Auch kleine Hasen hoppeln herum. Innen ist das Objekt ein wenig Renovierung bedürftig und auf die Sauberkeit könnte man noch etwas mehr achten, aber an sich ist das Haus sehr schön. Hauptsächlich ist man ja wegen der Natur dort und die ist auf Madeira wundervoll.

Un sitio maravilloso
Nos costó un poco llegar al alojamiento por lo empinadas que son las calles, recomiendo ir con un coche con buen motor, ya que la subida es considerable, pero sin duda la estancia allí merece la pena. El dueño muy simpático nos ayudó el primer día en la entrada. Para bajar al centro de Funchal también se puede ir en autobús, ya que hay una parada cercana de la línea 29 al final de la calle cortada, siguiendo el camino y bajando unas escaleras (ojo, porque la parada de autobús que hay al inicio de la calle por la que se accede en coche al alojamiento no es la que está operativa actualmente).
La finca donde está el alojamiento es preciosa, muy bien distribuida para dar a cada casita su intimidad, rodeada de una vegetación y unas hortensias exuberantes, entre otras plantas y arboles frutales y dispone de zonas de aparcamiento.
La casita (Tilia) está muy bien distribuida, equipada con lo básico necesario y las habitaciones muy cómodas. La posibilidad de levantarse con la vista del mar al fondo y desayunar en el exterior de la casita con la tranquilidad del lugar y el canto de los pájaros ha sido muy relajante.
Sin duda volvería.

Beautiful spot, unfortunately that's where it stops.
I am very rarely negative about an accommodation. During our stay i tried contacting the renters/my assigned contact about everything in this review but to no avail. Not a single reply. I also filled in their own 'what can we do better' and 'comments' form, which also gave me no reply except an automated message. I understand that not everything can be perfect all the time, but this had such a negative impact on our holiday and the following radio silence turned me to this review.
Let me start by saying that the location is absolutely fantastic. You have a beautiful garden where you can walk around and nearly next to the houses you can have a magnificent panoramic view of Funchal. The nearby stadium is no problem at all. The great and quiet location was unfortunately constantly disturbed by about 20 dogs of the houses down the road. I am not exaggerating when i'm saying that most of these dogs were barking all day long and partially during the night. The back bedroom didn't hear much of this, but in the front you hear it loud and clear. This combined with very hard beds didn't make sleeping very comfortable. I myself like hard beds, but this was just plain uncomfortable. One of us actually slept on the couch.
The whole house has a serious moisture issue. You can smell it when you come inside and and feel it everywhere. I am not talking high air moisture, that's normal on the island. I'm talking serious ventilation problems. Mold is creeping up walls, which were covered up and camouflaged by paint. By the looks of it this gets done regularly. One of the bedrooms had it the most. We slept there, and my girlfriend, who has astma, had a serious cough the whole stay.
Also; there appears to be a sewer leak in front of the driveway (where we parking our car). Every morning there is a medium amount of fluid there, which smells like sewer. Not a great start of the day.
The stove is outdated and kinda broken. The flames are rather dangerous and inconsistent.

Romantic house with view and tranquility
A wonderfull place to stay in Madeira. We were "at home" in Tilia, one of the three houses of the property.
The house is situated in the middle of a lush garden, with no view of the neighbours, but with a great view of the sea. It is well equipped for 4 people. Good to know: Tilia is located high above Funchal, about the same height as Monte. A rental car is an advantage.
We loved the house for its romantic location and tranquillity.

Nice stay above Funchal
Sweet little houses surrounded by an beautiful Garden. Its a little bit tricky to get there but the view is worth it.
The houses are cosy! It could be a little bit cleaner but its ok.
The Staff is very friendly and you get a lot of Informations about activities.
