About the host
Hosted by Karen Pickering
Our first visit to Madeira was for our Honeymoon 35+ years ago and we have been returning ever since. It was our visit at Christmas 2014 when we found the house and are extremely happy to share it with you. We live in the UK, have one Son and are both working professionals.
Why they chose this property
We have been travelling to Madeira for over 35 years and have taken great care to obtain a property which suits the high expectations of visitors to Madeira. We wanted a property where we could watch the cruise ships and fire works and had undisturbed views of the sea. These requirements limited our available search to the one road (Rue do Lazareto ) which we were rewarded with finally found a house on completing in June 2015.
What makes this property unique
It was watching the cruise ships on New Years eve from the terrace which convinced us that this was the right property for us. We had been searching in this area for many years and the view sealed the deal ! We have just returned having spent 2 weeks watching the dolphins playing in the sea, a magical breakfast experience.
