Very good

Der Garten benötigt unbedingt Zuwendung und es fehlt eindeutig eine Sitzgelegenheit und ein Sonnenschirm. Wir haben uns trotzdem wohlgefühlt. Madeira ist eine tolle und sehr vielfältige Insel. Wichtig, dass obere Bad ist nicht für große Menschen geeignet, durch seine Dachschräge sollte man nicht größer als 1.60 m sein sonst stößt man sich den Kopf.
