Wunderschön!
Wir haben 2 wunderschöne Wochen im Haus Azalea verbracht. Alles war bestens. Der Service (Reinigung und Frühstück) waren einwandfrei. Filomena und ihr Personal sind sehr herzlich und jederzeit für einen da. Der Garten, in dem sich die Häuser befinden, ist sehr gepflegt. Die Nähe zu Funchal (10 Minuten mit dem Auto) sehr praktisch. Wir werden gerne wiederkommen. Nochmals vielen Dank für alles!

Natur pur und ganz viel Herzlichkeit
Die eine Woche im Naturstein-Cottage in der Ruhe und Frische des Paradies-Tals (Val paraiso) war ein echter Traum. Wir kannten die Küsten von Madeira durch 4 vorherige Aufenthalte. Die waldigen Hänge haben uns jedoch noch mehr aufgetankt. Das Anwesen ist eingebettet in üppiges Grün. Der Hausherr liebt Rhododendron und Azaleen und pflegt sie mit großer Sorgfalt. Ähnlich gepflegt sind die Gebäude, hochwertig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Naturmaterialien haben mir besonders gefallen. Doch auch technisch war das Cottage sehr gut bestückt. Wir haben oft gekocht, aber auch die leckeren Brötchen und die täglich frische Frühstücksausstattung unter Glaskuppel genossen. Die Gastgeber waren äußerst herzlich und hilfsbereit und auch das Personal sehr freundlich und genau. Ein Fahrzeug braucht man - wir hatten einen Motorroller und waren damit in 10 min. unten in Garajau. Somit war die Lage für uns ideal. Die Haus-Levada war für uns wie ein Geheimtipp - nach den vielen Wanderungen, die wir schon auf Madeira unternommen haben, hat uns die Urtümlichkeit der gleich am Grundstück entlang laufenden Levada wirklich überrascht. Man sollte jedoch auf die drei Hunde des Hauses eingestellt sein. Der Schäferhund ist schon recht beeindruckend. Auf jeden Fall bei den Besitzern sofort zu Beginn ansprechen, wenn man sich beklommen fühlt. Hinter seiner Wachhundattitüde ist er gutmütig, aber man ist schon erleichtert, wenn das Personal ihn in Obhut nimmt, während man das Grundstück quert auf dem Weg zum Parkplatz. Nachts ist er ohnehin in seiner Kammer. Sie könnte eventuell überraschen, dass diesen Kommentar ein 50-jähriger Vater geschrieben hat, der mit seinem 19-jährigen Sohn in dem Cottage war. Probieren Sie es aus, wenn Sie Stille und Natur lieben.
