Maura e Miriam G.

I can’t emphasize enough how much we enjoyed staying in this wonderful home: The apartment itself is lovely, spacious, and bright, and the terrace with its 180-degree view of the Atlantic Ocean is a dream! Also: The apartment is fully equipped with everything you might need – even small things like a needle and thread, band-aids, and cleaning supplies.

The family are the sweetest neighbors, incredibly helpful, and they made us feel truly at home through their kindness and thoughtful gestures.

Neighborhood
The area itself is nice and feels local, but you’ll need to head a bit farther out for groceries and restaurants. Having a car is strongly recommended (there is parking at the apartment!). It’s about a 20-minute walk down to town — it’s steep, but that’s pretty much the case everywhere:) Buses also stop close by!

It feels like home! We stayed 3 months and totally loved it.
Maura and her family are so generous and loving, we felt like being part of the family.
The apartment is super spacious and bright - it is very well equipped and the location is very quiet (just some dogs barking now and then). The street is very steep and to walk to the center, especially the way back up, requires good fitness. Little issues we had during our stay, where solved immediatley by the landlord.
We already planned to come back, because we totally fell in love with Madeira.
Thanks for having us!

Neighborhood
It's right under the cablecar. Since the street is very steep and narrow, there's almost no traffic, which is great. All neighbors are super friendly and kind.

It was the loveliest stay we have ever had in Madeira. This was not only thanks to the marvellous property with great views to the ocean and a perfect layout, but also to the ever helpful and very approachable owners. They say that people in Madeira are the friendliest in the world and our experience fully supported that. We appreciated every support that we got during our stay, they surely are bending over backwards for the guests.

Neighborhood
The neighbourhood is with locals and it is quiet. It is about 15 mins walking distance from the city center and restaurants, bars, shops. The property sits on a steep hill, so if you have walking/climbing restrictions, you might wanna look for something else. But this is realy a nuance, the property is otherwise located in a beautiful setting.

Nice hosts. Very hospitable and kind. Full-furnished flat with all facilities.
