Wonderful tranquil house located in botanical garden
Sofia's house was simply dream come true. It is located in very well maintained botanical garden, away from any city sounds. You'll be awakened by the bird's songs and nice sun. You can spend the evening with friends around the fireplace with some wine and sit around during the day in the gardens or the levada walks that start just 25m away from your doorstep!

Very nice cottage
We (two adults and a 14-year old boy) spent two very agreeable weeks in this cottage. It sits in a wild (and beautiful) garden, offering perfect privacy. Inside we found everything clean and convenient. There's a supermarket at 2 kilometers. Great base for a walking vacation.

"An address to keep preciously"
We spent 15 wonderful days in our small hourse "Palheirinho". This charming house surrounded by a private garden offers all as a traveler in search of comfort research. Casas Valleparaizo is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation closer to nature. The house spread out over a very large area offer plenty of privacy and independence. We enjoyed the little touches of Leonor et Sofia and their extremely warm welcome. The situation Casas Valleparaizo in Camacha is ideal. It's easy to stock in Supermarket and the small farmers' market on the village square. It's also easy to visit the island from Camache and very nice to be only 15 minutes from the pleasant capital Funchal. Isabelle M Paris, France

House with an impresive garden to enjoy nature
We have been at Casa Vaquinha for one month, in August, 2015. We are a couple with two children (4 and 6 years old). The house is very well equipped: 4 electric hobs, oven, fridge, micro-wave, toaster, coffee machine, hair drier, hand blender, fireplace, … There is no washer machine but you can use the one at the main house facility. We had everything we needed. It has two bedrooms at the upper floor, both with twin beds (quite comfortable) and two bathrooms (one of them with a bath at the upper floor and the other one with a shower at the main floor). The kitchen and the living room are at the main floor too. The house is surrounded by a private garden full of trees and flowers. The garden is a paradise!! There is a barbeque outside, garden furniture, and they even set a small pool for the children. We enjoyed a lot at the garden. Every morning we woke up with the rooster crowing and a peacock visited us some days. Sofia and Leornor (the housekeeper) are really friendly and helpful. They cleaned the house every two days. She even brought us fresh bread every Saturday morning. There are many trails and “levadas” nearby. Wifi signal was good. Parking is at the main house parking lot which is next to our house. We had a wonderful stay there so we recommended.

Truly Paradise
As the name implies, this was an excellent place to get to know Madeira. The grounds of this property is truly a gardener’s paradise with *labeled* endemic Madeiran species as well as exotics, including massive rhododendrons. The home itself was very clean and cozy with all the comforts needed. Located very close to town with shopping center, restaurants, etc. The children loved exploring the levadas and trails, and especially loved the peacocks! We will certainly be staying here again on our next trip to Madeira.
