Thank you very much for your SUPER 5 STARS review !! I hope many people will read your review and understand what a fantastic and unique Villa we have !!
Thank you for mention me ! You are welcome back anytime ! Kind regards Jan
The Villa is as described, great location and short ride to airport. Access by foot to local restaurants and mini markets. The weather was amazing, in the 70’s F with cool breeze from the ocean. The pool was a great addition, the water was warm enough to swim even on a breeze day because the sun was always shinning, that’s Madeira. The host was excellent, meet us at the Villa for check in and was available via phone during stay. To recap, the Villa was excellent for a family of 4 with plenty of room for everyone, location was great to visit Funchal and other parts of Madeira. Overall it we gave it 5 stars and would stay again for sure.

Thanks again ! Jan Hansen
Really nice house with a stunning view where you don’t need a car
A very nice house, well equipped, with plenty of space and a lovely pool area with a stunning view. Due to the level differences both inside and in the garden there were some stairs which could be good to know if travelling with children not able to manage those. We, a family of five grown-ups and one infant, spent a week without renting a car since we were able to walk to the beach, with possibility to take a cable cabin instead of walking the whole distance, walk to the main street with restaurants, bakery, pharmacy, ATM, and small grocery stores. For real supermarkets a longer, but still reasonable, walk was needed. We could also take a taxi to visit Funchal, approximately 25 Euro one-way, and hire a minivan with driver for 150-180 Euro for a full day tour on either the west or the east part of the island. It was also possible to join organized tours that picked us up at a hotel nearby so we were able to walk on the levadas too.
Overall a really nice week and I can truly recommend this house with nice surroundings.
