Great location within a 15-20 minute walk to town depending on where you are going. Let's face it, everywhere in Madeira requires an uphill walk back to somewhere and this one isn't bad...however, I do really need to point out the 45 degree short road up to the driveway to this home which can't be seen from Google Maps. 60 foot walk up, maybe? This one caught us off guard with luggage as we had the Taxi drop us off at the bottom and on the approach, we all dreaded the walk. It's do-able but not for the faint of heart. The Uber to take us back to the airport would not drive up so we had to roll the luggage back down the hill on departure. At the very bottom is immediate busy road so you need to roll your luggage to nearby driveway to catch your Taxi etc. Again, knowing this helps and shouldn't deter you from booking as the house is great. That is the only reason for the 4 stars.
The home is spacious and the beds are quite comfortable. The house and area is very quiet so if you need white noise, there are fans in each room. All the amenities you need.
