A perfect holiday
Review Submitted: August 11, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2007
Casa Serena perches half way up a mountain and the views from the balcony are spectacular. The accomodation is spacious and very well equipped and the photos, if anything, don't do the apartment full justice, it really was first rate. Brian and Catherine are wonderful hosts making themselves available for information whenever required or leaving you to your own exploration of Madeira as you wish. We loved the range of options available from sightseeing and beaches through to 'Lavada walking' through the lush countyside or around the rugged hillsides, but it was always great to return to Casa Serena for the friendly welcome and to relax on that balcony.
We booked our holiday from this website and then dealt with Brian direct who made the whole process very straightforward. We will definitely return and can think of no better recommendation than that. Thank you Brian, Catherine and Madeira for a memorable holiday.

Our first visit to Madeira couldn't have been nicer. The location, apartment and view were all that one could wish for, posing the difficult decision as to whether to remain on the balcony all day with the customary 'red' or 'white', or to risk a tan on Calheta's superb beach.
The weather was excellent during the two weeks and nothing was too much trouble for Catherine and Brian when any help or advice was required; the perfect hosts. Thanks again for everything.

Owner's Response: Thank you Pam & Ray, It was our pleasure to welcome you to Casa Serena and Madeira for the first time, sorry to hear you had to make some difficult decisions between the golden sand beach in Calheta or enjoying a glass of wine on the balcony .
Casa Serena is located close to the beach, also close to some superb walks

The apartment was by far the best, most spacious, clean and well equiped apartments we have every stayed in. The views from the balcony are fabulous.
Brian and Catherine are the perfect hosts very warm and friendly. Two weeks of sun in the middle of January. it was just what we were looking for,We hope to return for more of the same very soon.

Owner's Response: Thank you Lyne & Steve for your review , it was our pleasure having you stay at Casa Serena, and we are glad you found the perfect location
Because Casa Serena is only 220m above sea level it enjoys the best of the warm winter sun ,access to the apartments is very easy no steps, entrance off a good but quite road this is a real bonus for Madeira with its steep, narrow, winding roads

We had many holidays in Madeira in the 80's and knowing there had been many changes in recent years we sought a holiday in the old Madeira style. In the Calhetta region we found it; quiet and peaceful with beautiful scenery. Our most fortunate find of all were Brian,Catherine and the Serena Apartments. They were the most supportive of hosts presiding over excellent accommodation making us relaxed and at home from the start. We have to mention the balcony and its views. On many days we would remain home,sitting on the balcony,enjoying the beautiful outlook and soaking up the winter sun. many thanks Brian and Catherine we intend to spend time with you again in the near future.

Owner's Response: Many Thanks Stan & Lennie, for spending your winter break at Casa Serena, you welcome back anytime, because the balconies are south facing and Casa Serena is only 220m above sea level it enjoys the warm winter sun all day long
Views staight out into the Atlantic.

Last years stay was our second stay with Brian & Catherine and it wont be our last. The location is spectacular if you dont mind heights. The accommodation is of high quality and the owners we think now of as good friends. You need a car to move about. The resort has all you need for a pleasent stay including a good man made beach. The main town Funchal is about half hour away by road where there are endless shops and bars. We intend to return again next year to reaquaint our selves with this lovely location and perhaps look for a property for our retirement.
