Incredible apartment , amazing host!

The apartment is amazing. Nice location, quiet, proximity to all amenities and central location on the island. We had an amazing stay and the host, Alberto, has been really helpful, accommodating and kind. Would definitely recommend! Thank you!

Villa Panorama Lives Up to Its Name

This is a beautiful villa—modern, spacious, clean with a stunning view of the ocean. Six adults stayed for a week and had plenty of room to gather together or find a quiet spot for alone time. Our host, Samuel, greeted us on arrival to show us around and again on our departure to make getting in and out of the property very easy. He gave us useful information about restaurants and places to see on the island. The location necessitates a car to get to restaurants or market. There is a delightful poncha bar a short walk up the road where we spent a few evenings soaking up local culture. The pool was another great feature of the property. I would definitely recommend.

Great stay

My wife and I and another couple stayed with Duarte. We were very happy with our stay and the location was great for us. Many restaurants in the waterfront area. Duarte was a great host and responded very quickly to messages. A car is a definite requirement for Madeira and Duartes place gave us a perfect launching point. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful house. Great stay!

We got off to a slightly rocky start, finding out only a couple of hours prior to checking in that the house was double booked. Not what we wanted to hear after 2 days of flying to get to Madeira! While this was disappointing, the owner did apologize profusely and respond quickly, accepting that this was a mistake at her end and booking us into a really nice local hotel for the first night. The next day, the move-in went smoothly. We were so glad to unpack our bags and relax. The house is beautiful, with a great view over the Atlantic. The pool is the ICING on the cake- long enough to swim lengths, private and heated if you need it (for a small upcharge. ) The house is very well kept up and very clean. It is also equipped with almost anything you could need, and feels like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again. Only a couple of small points: there is no air conditioning- which was not a big problem for us, as it was October and nights were a little cooler, but in hotter weather, some might find it a little warm in the house. There are fans in most rooms. There are roller shutters, but no screen doors, so leaving all the doors open to let in a breeze can lead to a few geckos and mosquitos getting into the house… but not a big deal as we were outside on the deck by the pool most of the time.

Beautiful Home in Calheta

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alex's home in Calheta. The house was exceptionally clean, we had everything we needed for a fantastic and comfortable stay, the bedrooms each had an amazing view and the pool was wonderful. The view from the patio was just stunning. We had plenty of room and having the washer and dryer was helpful. The pool table added to some fun in the evenings as well. Thank you so much Alex for letting us enjoy your home.

Breathtaking views and extremely responsive host

This house is a real find. The view from the house is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. Minutes away from tons of restaurants. 40 mins from Funchal. In our opinion, this end of the island is far more beautiful and far less crowded. House was well appointed and extremely clean.
