If you want to get away from it all you will love this place
We wanted a quiet, remote place to relax and we certainly found it here. The house is well equipped, spacious and comfortable. There's everything you need in the kitchen, we cooked every day. I found the stairs rather steep, a challenge for someone with knee problems but that didn't distract from the enjoyment of the place. There are many interesting books (in Dutch) but also rather too many personal items around the house. There is a steep climb to get out to the main road but that's not unusual for Madeira of course. We loved walking along the levada which is found just up the hill from the house, fabulous views if you take a walk. We hadn't realised that there was a septic tank but coped with the necessary rules.. Peter's directions were great, very helpful to find the house the first time you drive there, and he is most willing to help if you want information about car hire etc.

madeiran hideaway.
We visited in October 2010 with a veiw to exploring the west of Madeira and this property was well placed for that. Its location is quite remote which gave us solitude and silence which is unimaginable if you live in town, but is only a few minutes to local restaurants. If you walk, you are 3mins from a levada, and by car you can reach the mountains in 15mins. The house itself is clean bright and sunny and has everything you will need should you like to cook for yourself. Most of the books are in Dutch, so if you are a reader take your own supply!! I would recommend a smal to medium car as well as the roads in the west are quite narrow and if you are not used to driving on the right it can be a challange but exciting!!

Paradiesische Ausblicke und keine Wünsche offen…
Das Haus liegt perfekt zum Erkundern der Insel, ruhig aber nicht zu abgelegen. Es ist vollständig ausgestattet, in der Küche fühlt man sich wie zu Hause. Die Schlafzimmer sind toll mit ausgezeichneten Matratzen versehen und jeweils mit einem eigenen Bad. Insgesamt bleiben hier keine Wünsche offen. Der traumhafte Blick über das Meer lädt einmal mehr ein, auf einer der Terrassen zu entspannen und das Panorama zu genießen. Wir haben einen wunderbaren Urlaub verbracht und uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Toller Urlaub, Paradiesisch!!!
Das Haus entspricht voll und ganz der Beschreibung, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Die Innenausstattung ist komfortabel und komplett. Man merkt gleich, dass die Villa ansonsten von den holländischen Eigentümern selbst bewohnt wird, man fühlt sich gleich heimisch. Tolle Schlafzimmer mit super Matratzen . Jedes Zimmer mit eigenem Bad Die Ausstattung der Küche ist prima, wir haben jeden Tag gekocht und konnten frische Kräuter aus dem Garten ernten. Von den Terrassen einen schönen Blick über das Meer. Wir freuen uns auf unseren nächsten Besuch auf Madeira in diesem schönen Haus!

Noch schöner als in den Bildern
Das Haus ist wunderschön, die Bilder tun es kein Recht. Geschmackvolle einrichtung und super ausgerüstet. Die Lage und Die Aussicht waren traumhaft. Ruhe garantiert, Weg von der Masse aber nicht wirklich isoliert. Die Kontakte mit den Inhabern waren immer angenehm und hatten einen persönlichen 'Touch', Fragen wurden umgehend beantwortet und die ganze Abwicklung war flott und einfach. Falls wir mal nach Madeira zurückkehren kommt nur noch dieses fantastische Haus im Frage!
