Villa with private pool, large garden and stunning sea view

The villa and property has 180 degrees sea view. The 100 year old stone house was rebuilt and modernized in 2007, while retaining its simplicity and modesty. Upstairs the house has a joint living room/dining room/kitchen, a bathroom and a large bedroom, and downstairs two bedrooms. All rooms have sea view and lead out to terraces. There is a stereo, dvd player, several films and a monitor but there is no wifi. There are also many books, in many languages, also for children. Linen and towels provided. The pool is 3 by 6 meters, not heated. There are several terraces for dining and sunbathing: a roofed one outside the kitchen, one old and one new outside upper bedroom, one under grapevine outside lower bedrooms, and one around the pool. The surroundings consist of farming terraces and flower gardens. The road is reached by private stairs (60 steps). Parking on road about 100 metres away from top of stairs. The inside of the house is rustic and functional, while the outside is spacious and private with many semi-tropical plants.

Couples getaway trip

We had a fantastic stay with Maria. The rustic property was in a cute, quiet, and private location with an amazing view of the ocean. Easy parking was available below the church, which was a 5-minute walk away from the property. The garden and view were highlights of the property that we will always remember. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the place to anyone wanting to visit Madeira.

Idyllic views at the end of the world

If you are looking for a secluded breathtaking location with a cozy, rustic but functional lodging - this house is for you. Sure there are some insects, and the house is not brand new but it all adds to the charm. And I promise you - you won't find any better view for your swims, dinners and birdwatching. The host was super helpful!

Lovely view, not so lovely insects

Plain and simple: the view is breathtaking.But you have to work for it. As has been said before, you park your car at the church, walk a few hundred meters down a small road and the take 61 steps to the entrance to the garden. I don't mind such a little workout. What I care more about is my food, and that needs to be protected from tiny ants. We first found them in a lovely Bouquet of flowers which greeted us in the kitchen upon arrival. Lovely idea, not so lovely insects included. In the following days we put all food, including bread, into the fridge. We did not expect the ants to get there as well. But they did, and even found a way into a closed plastic bag full of cookies we had bought at the farmers market in Prazeres. Tiny hungry beasts ;)Apart from that, I would agree with those who describe the house as a little worn out. After all the oven seems to be as brandnew as the stainless steel pan. Still: a view to die for.

We had a great week here. The location is superb, with amazing views from a private terrace. The pool is clean and we used it every day. The house is well-equipped, and large, though could do with a refresh/refurbishment. Yes, the weather means some things are damp, particularly downstairs- I wouldn’t recommend 5-6 people staying here - and we had 2 heavy rainfalls which brought out cockroaches. But we loved the outside space, the quiet, the views, and visits from neighbourhood cats. If you like hiking all day and coming back to a view of a sunset over the ocean - and aren’t bothered by insects - this place is great.

Excelent positioned for a quiet holiday

We were very much surprised by the quiet location and the spectacular view. A most pleasant surprise. We would love to come back. The villa has all the things you will need for a nice holiday. If you are looking for discos or many people you are at the wrong place!!

Es ist ein sehr idyllisches kleines Häuschen mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht. Leider aber doch schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen aber es ist alles da was man braucht bis auf eine Heizung und ausreichend heißes Wasser. Das Café dass erwähnt wird , auch zum Einchecken ist nicht vorhanden!!!!!! Ist zur Zeit eine riesen Baustelle, könnte man bitte in der Beschreibung aktualisieren. Wir hätten aber alle 4 Personen einen schönen Aufenthalt. Danke auch an Jose für den schönen Blumenstrauß der bei unserer Ankunft am Tisch stand. Föhn, Geschirrspüler, Gasherd ,Backrohr, Waschmaschine, Filterkaffeemaschine, Wasserkocher, alles vorhanden, Toaster funktionierte leider nicht. Es wäre bitte auch nett wenn man erwähnen würde das es in diesem Haus keine Heizung gibt, wir hatten die ganze Woche Regenwetter und teilweise um die 7 Grad ist nicht dein ohne Heizung.

Die Aussicht ist, wie in all den anderen Bewertungen beschrieben, der Hammer. Das Frühstück auf der Terrasse zog sich bei uns deswegen immer gerne in die Länge. Beim Haus handelt es sich um ein historisches Gebäude mit viel Charme und Blick aufs Meer, auch von innen. Es ist sauber und gemütlich, mit etwas wärmerem, etwas weniger hellem Licht aus den vorhandenen Glühbirnen könnten einige Ecken noch gemütlicher sein. Toilette und Dusche funktionieren super, das Bisschen Flugrost am Spiegel oder auch draußen am Geländer beeinflusst die Stabilität überhaupt nicht. Wer sich daran stört, sollte nicht ans Meer fahren. Natürlich ist auch der Terrassentisch nicht „kurz vorm Auseinanderfallen“… Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und im Bett habe ich jedenfalls wunderbar geschlafen. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, nochmal wieder zu kommen.

Urlaub in Spitzenlage

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus schlicht aber funktional, die Außenanlagen (Terrassen, Garten, Pool) und der Blick einfach ein Traum! Wir fanden den Abstand zu Funchal eher einen Pluspunkt. Auch auf dieser Seite der Insel kann man genug unternehmen. Die Aktivitäten des hauseigenen Katzenclans waren für uns ebenfalls sehr unterhaltsam! Als einzigen Nachteil sahen wir das dritte, etwas ungemütliche Schlafzimmer im Untergeschoß, das zum Einen als ein Durchgangszimmer zum zweiten Schlafraum dient, zum Anderen durch die Treppe nach oben offen zum Wohnzimmer ist.Wir würden aber trotzdem jederzeit nochmal kommen.
