About the host
Hosted by Maria Joana
We are a couple from Madeira that travelled around the world. Now we enjoy sharing a bit of our knowledge from the island with our guests ☺️
Why they chose this property
We have another property in this area that is our country home for over 30 years. We would say that we know the area well and really enjoy spending time there!
What makes this property unique
We choose to maintain the traditional madeirean architecture while updating to current needs. The place integrates nature within itself allowing to wake up hearing nature sounds, such as birds, a small creek nearby and sometimes animals. The barbecue area contains a stone oven that has been in the family for 3 generations providing memories for all. We hope you keep on the tradition as well ☺️
