The view from this property was spectacular! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was adequately stocked. We heated and enjoyed the pool every single day. The location is fabulous, being close to cafes, groceries and restaurants that we could walk to. It was well placed in the Island, just a few minutes drive outside on Funchal where there are a plethora of excellent restaurants, bars and shopping. The property management company was attentive and responsive. We didn’t use the game room as we found it to smell musty, but also we didn’t need the extra space. We hiked and explored Madeira and fell in love with the Portuguese people and the charm of the Island! We will definitely be back!

Stay in Canico

The property was very nice and in a great location. The management firm folks were very nice and responsive. We did not get as much use of a warmer pool as we would have liked as they needed to do repair work on it most of the time we were there, hopefully that is all fuxed now.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the property and its location, as well as the attentive service from our team. We're sorry about the issue with the pool heating pump. Unfortunately these things can happen but this is why we refunded the full value of the heating. We hope to welcome you back for a fully relaxing experience next time.

Good location and great pool

The property is close to local restaurants and small grocery stores. We enjoyed the area and loved the pool in the late afternoons. There are a lot of steps, which did not bother us but should be kept in mind for those who don't enjoy stairs. We would come back to this property.

The pool, especially in the late afternoons, sounds like a great feature that added to your experience. Your mention of the numerous steps is a helpful tip for future guests, especially for those who may have mobility concerns. It's always good to provide such information to ensure a comfortable stay for everyone. We're delighted to know that you had a positive experience and that you'd consider returning to this property. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Wonderful Madeira Experience!

We are a family of five from New York, and this was our first time to Madeira. Friends who had been there before recommended we use VRBO. We selected this house based on its proximity to Funchal and its view of the ocean. We were very happy having selected this house! It was very clean and spacious for everyone to spread out and not be on top of each other. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary dishes, pots, pans, and utensils for us to some cooking, though we took full advantage of the nearby restaurants. There was a large supermarket just two minutes away by car which allowed us to purchase whatever we needed. After exploring Madeira each day (we rented a car), it was always great to come back to the house and relax poolside which was overlooking the ocean. We felt very comfortable and at home in the house. I should also note that right down the road from the house is a cable car that will take you down to the beach. The beach is rocky, but there is a nice restaurant there with lounge chairs. With respect to the management company handling the house, I greatly appreciated the strong communication they had with us before we even arrived in Madeira. They readily responded to email inquiries, provided clear directions on how to get to the house, and also gave us recommendations on places to go. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this house and would highly recommend it to other travelers to Madeira. We look forward to returning again one day!

Très belle maison avec une vue magnifique sur l'océan

Très grande maison, bien équipée. Les trois chambres ont vue mer. Bien située, très près de Funchal. Commerces à proximité. Beaucoup d'escaliers cependant, notamment pour accéder à la piscine.
