2 weken Canical

Zeer prettig verblijf in dit comfortabele appartement op de begane grond. Ligt direct aan een drukke straat. Goed geoutilleerde keuken. Wasmachine aanwezig. Ruime, moderne badkamer. Overal horren aanwezig. Binnenplaatsje met alleen in de vroege ochtend zon. S Nachts heel stil. Dicht bij winkels, de bushalte en terrasjes. Enige minpunt het geluid van een terras tegenover het appartement.

Séjour en famille

Belle maison pratique proche des commerces mais avec un accès direct sur la route c’est dommage mais il y a une terrasse derrière. La vaisselle est jolie et le linge de maison de belle qualité c’est apprécié. La maison est sombre en fin de journée c’est dommage aussi sinon globalement séjour agréable.

Hello Ms. Boissier, Thank you very much for sharing your impressions of Blue Whale House. We are pleased to know that your family stay was enjoyable and that you appreciated the quality of the facilities and amenities. All rooms in the house have natural light, and we use white, high‑power lighting to ensure brightness indoors. Unfortunately, during periods of bad weather, relying only on natural light can make the house feel darker at certain times of the day. We truly value your feedback and hope to welcome you again on a future visit to Madeira. Best regards, Whaler’s Houses Team

Férias em família 1 casal e 2 filhos

Muito boa, a casa superou todas expetativas. Limpa, cozinha completa com loiça, máquina de café, máquina de lavar roupa, tinha secador,tabua de passar a ferro, televisão com box de canais, um bom terraço com condições para refeições. Cafés, restaurantes, supermercado e padaria/pastelaria com fabrico próprio perto do alojamento. Ficamos 5 dias, mas casa que oferece condições para 10 a 15 dias para férias. O anfitrião deixou fruta, café e chá de boas vindas, recomendo e volto sem dúvida.

Inoubliable ! Appartement aux prestations digne d'un 4*

Malgré une météo moyennne, ,ous avons beaucoup apprécié tous les gestes d'accueil (pastille pour le lave-linge, café, savon, shampoing, lait pour le corps). Le linge est de très bonne qualité, tout est meublé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût et les hôtes sont très prévenants. Ce sont eux qui nous ont prévenu que Madère était en alerte météo et qu'il était conseillé de rester à l'intérieur. Ce qui aurait pu être une expérience décevante s'est transformée en après-midi cocoonong avec mon fils à regarder "Wednesday" sur Netflix; Un GRAND MERCI !
