Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cottage and found it even more spacious than expected. Its setting in the middle of a banana grove truly offers that special blend of rural charm while still being close to all the amenities of Funchal. We’re glad the shoulder‑season weather was still pleasant for you, and it’s great to know you appreciated both the location and the Owner’s hospitality. Your note about using a small car is absolutely spot‑on! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be very happy to welcome you back on your next visit to Madeira.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and we also think we are "quite a find"! Some of our guests consider us an oasis in the middle of Funchal. We enjoyed meeting you and look forward to welcoming you back again.

Sorry for the delay in coming back, but had to have a translation! We are delighted that you enjoyed Madeira and our Loja da Lenha so much. We look forward to welcoming you back. Frank & Buffy

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are indeed privileged by our position, being within walking distance of most town facilities and yet sheltered amongst bananas and vines. We would be delighted to have you back. Frank & Buffy Zino (owners)

We are delighted that you enjoyed Madeira so much and hope to be able to welcome you back again soon

Thank you for your comments

We are delighted that you so enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you back again. The pool is 12m x 6m and so you can have a good swim in it. It is currently surrounded by vines with grapes nearing picking time, which we feel gives it an added atmosphere Mosquitos, we are unable to control! They are part of life on this sub-tropical island. We do have mosquito netting on all the windows. It is important that these are closed at night before switching on the lights which attract the mosquitos. .

We are delighted that you so enjoyed the property. Madeira is a hilly island. To get to the centre of town from the property is a 15 minute walk downhill. To return is a stiff uphill walk, but there are plenty of taxis or even local buses to get you home again. We look forward to seeing you back in Madeira.

Thank you for your comments

These comments are wonderfully positive and very helpful for those who might be considering booking in future. Many thanks - we're delighted you enjoyed your stay so much and hope to see you again sometime. Buffy and Frank

Greetings from Madeira to St Petersburg! Many thanks for these kind comments which will be useful for anyone thinking of booking one of these delightful cottages in future. As it happens, the neighbouring owners were away on holiday over the period of this booking and our taxi driver, Carlos, (who speaks perfect English) provided airport transfers, settled this couple into their cottage and was their point of contact during their stay. Ivone, the maid, is friendly and helpful but speaks only Portuguese. A comprehensive welcome handbook gives plenty of information on what is available in the local area and obviously it did its job! This reply is submitted by agent Judith (Island Homes Rentals) who handles bookings.
