OBSERVATIONS
A car is recommended for this location.
Free parking is available on the property or on the street.
As some roads in Madeira are steep and narrow, smaller vehicles with powerful engines are recommended.
The pool is not heated, but it is open all year round and can be used whenever weather conditions are favourable.
As it is a rural area, there is potential for noise caused by dogs and other domestic animals on neighbouring properties.
Due to the climate, there are also insects and lizards in the rural surroundings, which may be attracted by food scraps. For those who do not feel comfortable with the presence of insects and lizards, we do not recommend accommodation in a rural area.
Cleaning is done before guests' arrival and there is a weekly maintenance cleaning, which includes changing bed linen and towels.
To take care of the garden and pool maintenance, periodically some authorised workers may access the property.
