A stunning holiday

Review Submitted: September 2, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a fantastic time in Madeira, partly due to this lovely cottage, which was exactly as described! The elevated view over the marina was spectacular. With an excellent array of well-maintained domestic facilities within the property, we wanted for nothing. The hill upon which the cottage was situated may render it an unwise choice for more elderly/infirm guests, however there was good provision of cheap buses and taxis from the town.

The quiet residential area was ideal. The local people were very friendly and welcoming, and we were made to feel very much at home. We particularly enjoyed the local restaurant recommended by the owner. The provision of an information file within the property to guide our travels was particularly helpful.

We found the cottage to be excellent value for money, well worth the price. All in all, a splendid choice for a cosy holiday for two!

Review Submitted: June 18, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
A peaceful and lovely place to stay. The owners are very open and helpful and at the mean time gave us all the space we wanted. Great value and very good equipped kitchen, even your own washing maschine... we had far to much cloth with us;-).
We adored the privacy and the nice courtyard with the herb garden which we could use for cooking.
If you don't like to walk uphill, a car is helpful but not necessary, there are also puplic transports and taxis.
Thanks to Louise and Raul to make our stay a great holiday.

Beautiful cottage, fantastic trip!

Review Submitted: April 7, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
The cottage was fantastic, what a brilliant holiday! It's a really lovely little property, nicely decorated and has everything you could ever need! Situation is perfect, just a short walk from the centre of Funchal, and in a lovely quiet area. Just be prepared to walk up some fairly steep hills! A perfect base if you're planning on getting out to explore the island, or if you're planning to cosy up on a romantic break. Beautiful accommodation, lovely people and a perfect location. Would definitely go back!
