Tolles Haus. Super Ausstattung der Küche, endlich mal Geschirr für mehr als nur vier Personen. Sehr geräumig. Toller beheizter Pool mit warmer Außendusche. Uns hat hier nichts gefehlt.Unkomplizierter und sehr flexibler Check-in. Sehr gute Vorabinfo durch den Vermieter (englisch) bzgl. Anreise, Schlüsselübergabe, Abreise.Die Lage war für uns ideal. Weg vom Stadtgetümmel aus Funchal, ruhig (ja, man hört die dem Tal gegenüberliegende Straße, hat uns aber nicht gestört), kleiner Supermarkt in nur wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Wir würden wieder buchen.

Spontan gebucht als Zwischenstopp für Rundreise.Ich war rundum zufrieden, es ist ein tolles grosses Haus, mit riesiger Küche, sehr bequemen Betten und toller Kaffeemaschine mit echten Bohnen! Alles sehr sauber und wirkt neu.Die Aussicht auf das weite Meer ist der Hammer, der Pool toll und der Garten mit verschiedensten Kräutern und Blumen unglaublich schön. Das Wetter war angenehm warm. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war perfekt, sehr freundlich und jederzeit erreichbar. Fazit: Eines der besten Ferienhäuser bisher!
