Casa Petronella - reccommended for most persons

We had a very mixed party staying of all ages. Really liked the seperate area on the ground floor (like an annexe) so that mum could have her own space away from others to be allowed to rest. The lower ground floor activity room is great. Lovely help from the owners whenever it was requested.

Casa Petronella

This was a fabulous villa and we enjoyed our stay immensely! We were not far from bus stops, so it was easy to get to Funchal, and we were within walking distance of a Continente. The space was lovely and inviting. There were only minor inconveniences - there was no toilet paper rolls or hand soap anywhere, and several of the 5 bathrooms ran out the first day. We picked some up at the supermercado. Nice views from the yard also.

An amazing house ! Larger then its seens on the photos. Petronella took good care of ! Love it !

We had a wonderful stay in Casa Petronella. We celebrate my birthday and was 8 adults and 4 children ( 8, 6, 3 and 0 years old).Lots of space and a lovely pool. We get it heat to 26 degrees because it was in february and it was nice and the children could stay very long in the pool. Close to Funchal and beatyful in the evening with all lights on the mountain. We Rent cars and that is nesseserly if you dont want to walk long. Petronella was very helpfull and Madeira amazing. Want to come back soon

Beautiful large house - with a few downsides

We arrived for 10 days in November 2016. The property is really large and spacious and really great for large groups. The kitchen is well equipped and it even has a large utility. It was very clean and the living area really is spectacular. The pool is lovely but we are glad we paid extra to have it heated as it definitely needs to be. The things we liked about this house was the space, the pool, the upstairs terrace was beautiful in the morning as you get the sunrise. It was very convenient for the supermarket and a few small bars, no restaurants near by though. The owner was brilliant, she stayed in touch and kept us informed of the mid stay bed and towel change and anything we asked for she sorted out. She couldn't have been more helpful. The views over Funchal are beautiful and it is close to the expressway so we could get other places very easily although a car is essential because although there are buses we found them to be erratic and the stop in to Funchal is a bit of a walk away probably a good 10 mins and there is no info in the villa for local buses or amenities. A few downsides to the house are that there is no heating or air conditioning. We really could have done with some heating in the bedrooms at night although there is a lovely open fire in the lounge and we were given plenty of wood for it. We found the bathrooms to be a little tired they could really do with a refurb. Also the beds were very hard, my husband ended up sleeping on the sofa. The basement area with a bedroom and games room we felt was almost unusable as there was an awful smell down there we assume the drains. There is some noise from the expressway as it is very near by and as its a residential area there were a lot of coming and goings at the side of the house which could be quite noisy. Also be aware that in November we lost the sun in the garden by about 4.30 so you don't get any evening sun. However saying all that we felt that for the money we paid it was very good value for money and I would stay there again.

Fantastic house

The house was incredible with everything you could need and very comfortable which made for an amazing Christmas. It’s around a 40 minute walk into Funchal but there’s a bus stop a 5 minute walk, taxis back are around €9 which is definitely worth it as I wouldn’t want to walk back up that hill! There’s a supermarket & shops around a 10 minute walk. Funchal was amazing over Christmas with spectacular lights and a lovely atmosphere. The only minor downside to the house is the road noise, but with the windows closed you can hardly hear it and it wouldn’t put us off staying here again. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!
