stay 10 days on September

I had a wonderful stay at the apartment. It was very comfortable and located in a beautiful place. There was a municipal pool nearby for children and adults. The restaurants and the waterfront were right next to the building. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Good choice to stay in Madeira

We were a family of 4 adults, 1 child and 1 baby. Everything was very clean and the house is very cosy. The location is really good. Everything went smoothly with the check-in and check-out process. The only thing I recomend for people traveling with a baby is that there are a few steps after the front gate. The baby stroller needs to be picked up going up and down the stairs. Also keep in mind that if you stay with a group of 5 or 6 at the house, don't take long showers, the water heater is not that big and you can run out of hot water and then have to wait a couple of hours so the water gets heated up the water again. Other then that all was perfect and we had a great time in Madeira!

Mooi appartement met alles voorhanden.Heel proper en gerieflijk. Ligt in het centrum, dichtbij restaurants en dijk.Spijtig dat de communicatie bij ontvangst moeilijk was, niet duidelijk waar de sleutel lag alsook het juiste adres.
