Free car park is available in the house or on the street.As some roads in Madeira are steep and narrow, smaller vehicles with powerful engines are recommended.As this is a rural area, there is potential for noise from dogs and other domestic animals on neighbouring properties.The house is made of wood and has the characteristic smell of treated wood inside. If you are sensitive to this type of smell, we do not recommend this house.Due to the climate, there are also insects and lizards in the rural surroundings, which may be attracted to food scraps. For those who are uncomfortable with the presence of insects and lizards, we do not recommend staying in a rural area.The accommodation is not shared, but the floor below the accommodation is used sporadically by the owner.Cleaning is done before guests check in and then there is a weekly maintenance cleaning, which includes the change of bed linen and towels.The increase in the number of guests implies the payment of the tourist tax and a price increase of up to 10% per person.CONDITIONS1.
