A few kilometres away there are stunning cliffs, mountains and Laurissilva forest for nature lovers and hikers.

REMARKS
Cleaning is done before guests check in and then there is a weekly maintenance cleaning, which includes the change of bed linen and towels.
A car is recommended, but there are bus stops nearby.
As the entrance to the parking area and several roads in Madeira have a steep slope and very sharp curves, smaller vehicles with a powerful engine and high ground clearance are recommended. If you have difficulty parking near the house, you can use free parking places in the neighbourhood.
The swimming pool can be heated upon request with extra fee (minimum 5 days). The request to heat the swimming pool must by at least 5 days in advance and will be confirmed with the payment notice. On cold days, the pool heating may not be enough to reach 24ºC. To increase the temperature, it is essential to keep the pool covered at night and when you are not using it.
To take care of the garden and banana field, and for pool maintenance, some authorized workers may access the property periodically.
The house has a security system with video surveillance that is deactivated. There is a video surveillance camera outside near the entrance that does not cover private areas of the house.
The increase in the number of guests implies a price increase of up to 10% per person.

The property was just perfect, exactly as expected. The location is really nice and quiet. Not too far up the mountain, so you have a nice climate during the whole day without making a compromise for the view. Our contact person Sidonia was also great. Whenever we had a question, she answered immediately.

Wonderful place! 10+
We loved the location of the house, the pool. The kitchen is really well equipped! Even better dan my own kitchen. A lot of plates/cuttlery/pots and panns. We had a lot of contact with the owner and with Sidonia. They did everything do make our stay as perfect as can be. We would love to come back one day. The house felt like our own.
The beds were a little bit hard. The appartment downstairs smelled a bit moisty.

An absolutely relaxing stay
Villa Santa Madalena is a spacious house that allowed us to enjoy a relaxing holiday as a familiy of four and offered exactly what we had been looking for. We particularly liked the layout of the rooms, the high ceilings, the beautiful view of the sea and the garden. Heating the large pool in October was absolutely worth the money. All the rooms as well as the two baths and the kitchen were very clean, which we also liked very much.
Some of the garden furniture needs a little care. In the kitchen you will find a colourful mix of different crockery and cutlery as well as some equipment that could be sorted out or needs to be replaced. There are only a few places to store clothes, so we had to leave some things in the suitcase.
