L'appartement de Nélio est très agréable pour un couple, l'accueil est le meilleur qu'on puisse imaginer. Nous ne sommes restés que 2 nuits mais reviendrions volontiers...en attendant allez-y et dites le à vos amis.

Eine echte Entdeckung, schon die nette Begrüßung mit Erdbeerlikör und madeirischem Wein sowie typischem mad.Brot war eine gute Einstimmung. Nelio hatte in einer Übersicht viele wunderbare Tourenziele zusammengestellt und in der Ausstattung an viele wichtige Details gedacht ( z.B. für die kostenlose Nutzung der Waschmaschine stand das Waschmittel bereit ) Die Unterkunft ist umfasst das gesamte Dachgeschoss und ist dadurch schön geräumig, eine große Terasse mit Blick in die Bergwelt rundet alles ab. Nelio brachte mal als Abendüberraschung frisch gekochte Maiskolben vom eigenen Feld, so nett! Durch die ruhige Lage am Rande Santanas, wie auf dem Dorf, hört man die Vögel singen und kann gut entspannen. Für die Unternehmungen in die Bergwelt ideal und im Preis-Leistungsverhältnis echt toll. Alles Gute für für Nelio, Paula und den kleinen Sohn Manuel! Mit herzlichem Dank Uwe und Angelika.

Super ! Un très bon accueil par Nélio, avec des spécialités locales. Un très bon rapport qualité-prix. L'appartement est grand, agréable avec une jolie terrasse. Je recommande vivement !

The apartment is perfect! Huge, very clean, well equiped and decorated. I havent missed anything in the kitchen, even coffee, oil, vinegar etc you can find in the kitchen. The area is very quiet, close to the "highway" and easy to reach by car. Nélio and his wife are very friendly and always willing to help, even with my bad french language skills it was possible. As I really like the stay here I extended for two more days:)

La casa está cerca del centro en una zona residencial muy tranquila. El apartamento privado tiene todas las comodides y es muy bonito. Nélio nos recibió muy atentamento, amfitrión muy agradable. Recomendable 100%

We had our best stay in Madeira at Nelio's apartment ! The flat is big, clean and has every equipment you need for cooking and staying a while. Nelio is a very nice and helpful host. We were welcomed with good homemade wine and biscuits :) The flat is well located in Santana and to drive to some hikes. Thanks again Nelio !

Once again: perfect place to stay for more than just one day. Its close to the highway so can easily reach all places in Madeira. As the weather is moody in Madeira just check out the webcam of places around the island in the morning and drive to there. I really enjoyed my stay in Nélios apartment. He and his wife are so friendly and will give you a warm welcome.

Nélio est un hôte plus que charmant, très accueillant. Quoi de mieux que d'être accueillis autour d'un verre de vin local et de biscuits ? Nous ne regrettons absolument pas notre choix car cet appartement est d'un rapport qualité - prix inégalable proche des montagnes du centre, de Santana, du parc des Queimadas etc... Proche de l'aéroport également. Au calme, avec une vue plus que paisible sur les monts de l'île. Si vous hésitez, n'hésitez plus vous ne serez pas déçus ! Merci encore à Nélio pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité

Accueil très chaleureux par José. Le logement est très confortable, très bien équipé et aménagé avec beaucoup de goût. Il vous offre une magnifique vue sur la mer. Toute la famille a fort apprécié son séjour à Ponta Delgada ( la terrasse avec bains de soleil, salon de jardin, barbecue, ) et vous le recommande. La piscine d'eau de mer est à deux pas du logement. C'est aussi un point central pour accéder aux multiples chemins de randonnées de cette île fleurie.

Great appartement, cosy and relaxing, well furnished (dish washer, washing machine with all the necessary to use them) and decorated. Great view over the sea, direct access to the sea water pool and a bar at 10m where we took coffe every morning. Plenty of room to park. Moreover Jose is very sympathic. It was perfect

This house is really superbly decorated with a personal touch. The beds are very confortable and the house is quiet. Do not worry about the church which is silent after 20h. The view on the sea is beautiful. Jose is very kind. This is a perfect location.

Great place with all the things you need, A charming host and wonderful view, A real pleasure to stay in this appartment ! We recommend

José's house is amazing and I can recommend it all. The house has all the necessary equipment you need during your stay. The outdoor terrace is a place to relax, and there is a beautiful ocean view. Everything looks even better than in the photos:-) Next to the house is a café and a bakery where you can go for a morning pastry and coffee. About 5 minutes' drive is a grocery store which is open late into the evening. I recommend a car for this accommodation, as well as on the whole island. Thank you José for this great place, which we will be happy to return.

La maison de José correspond En tous points à la description. Maison calme et chaleureuse avec un joli balcon et une terrasse pour se détendre à l'extérieur. Un espace barbecue et proche de la cuisine est parfait pour profiter d'un bon repas. Communication très facile avec José. C'est une personne disponible, très agréable qui sait être arrangeant et accueillant avec ses locataires. Je vous recommande fortement La maison de José si vous voulez une belle location dans un joli village du nord de madere. Petit conseil prévoir un véhicule pour se déplacer plus facilement. Encore merci José pour ton aide et ta sympathie !

Séjour très sympathique et agréable. La maison est moderne, propre et très bien entretenue. La situation est calme, et la terrasse avec vue directe sur l'océan est très appréciable. Par ailleurs, Jose fait preuve d'un accueil chaleureux et de bon conseils pour partir à la découverte de l'île. Très satisfait !

Lovely apartment in an amazing location. The view from the living room and the terrace overlooking the church and the sea was really special. Great BBQ and a very well stocked apartment too. Jose was really friendly and very helpful and Ponte Delgada is a really nice little town

Sehr freundliche Vermieter, Treffen bei Ankunft problemlos und nett. Ebenso der Angestellte Adelino, der sich täglich um die Obst-/Gemüseplantage und die Tiere kümmert. Er beantwortet Fragen, erklärt Pflanzen, Früchte und Gemüse, das dort wächst und man auch gerne nehmen darf, ebenso wie die Eier der Hühner und Enten. Das Haus für zwei Personen ist sauber, einfach, die Küche mit grundlegenden Dingen ausgestattet. Die Terrasse mit Hängematte eröffnet einen schönen Blick aufs Tal und die umliegende Umgebung. Zwei Liegestühle wären angenehm gewesen, auf der Terrasse sind Tisch und Stühle sowie ein Außenwaschbecken vorhanden. Absolute Stille und Natur, keine Mücken. Auch Holz für den offenen Kamin und Grill ist vorhanden. Mietwagen ist absolutes Muss, wie überall auf Madeira geht es steil hinauf/hinab, ein kleiner Lebensmittelladen mit Bar im Minidorf ca. 30 Fußminuten unterhalb des Ferienhauses bietet Grundversorgung, Getränke, Brot. Wirklich empfehlenswert ist der unweit des Hauses begehbare Levada Richtung Boaventura, der auf halber Strecke mit einem herrlichen Wildbach überrascht. Die Kuhhaltung auf Madeira ist laut unserer Info gesetzlichen Vorschriften geschuldet, was sie nicht weniger gewöhnungsbedürftig macht. Hier im Norden der Insel befinden sich einige wenig begangene Levadas, empfehlenswert! Auch die kleinen Küstenorte haben Charme, nette SnackBars und überraschende Ecken zu entdecken. Super: die Meeresschwimmbecken in Seixal!

If I had to describe our stay in Just Nature in one word, i would say: perfect! Falca: Amazing, helpful people. We didn't have the car and the trip to the local shop was like an expedition (first time the shop owner took us back by his own car! Second time his mother gave us a bag of potatoes for free and the third time greeted us with fresh grapes from her own garden... Up and down through the little mountain paths - so much fun we had - and the views - breathtaking! Accommodation: Everything you need really. One bedroom bungallow . All kitchen appliances like toaster, microwave, cordless kettle, electric induction plate. TV with 7 local channels - all in . Washing machine - outside strings to dry your laundry (humidity is high as top of the mountain). WiFi - good speed. Good standard Shower, all new sanitarities. The Owners: Amazing people, they arranged transport for us from Funchal to Just Nature house. Maria gave us a basket of fresh, handpicked veggies from her fields as we arrived and few days later she brought - home-made chocolate pudding :) Maria's son explained everything to us upon our arrival. Animals: Two bulls - little one and big one. Ducks, chickens, cats - all friendly. Local attractions: We had 10 km walk to Ponta Delgada - SeeFront Lido, restaurants, pharmacy, bus stop - we have decided to walk there and then take a bus on our way back - Ponta Delgada Farmacy Bus Stop to Falca (Rodoeste Company) 20:20. The worst experience we've ever had. Theme Park is nothing compared with that ride but the vision of walking 10 km up hill by night time... Obvious. In Falca there are two local shops - very basic. Further down petrol station and local snackbar. Further down Boaventura with a restaurant, local shop and Santander Bank. You can take a shortcut to Boaventura - it is a footpath starting from the little bull - grat, wild nature and mountain springs. All in all, we would recommend Just Nature to anyone visiting Madeira - it would certainly allow you to experience Madeiran culture and learn about the life of the locals. Far away from the noise of the streets, cities and traffic. Just you and nature! I can honestly say that staying at this property was one of our best holidays we have ever had! We would like to thank the owners and Aldino, who overlooks the farm on a daily basis. We do hope to return here again!

Spektakuläres Panorama, wer Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit zur Entspannung sucht, ist hier richtig. Ein guter Platz, um besonders die Nordinsel zu erkunden und das Leben auch abseits der üblichen Touristenrouten zu entdecken

Small house in the mountains with big terrace overlooking a green valley and the village of Boaventura. The house is quite basic inside, but the terrace, bbq area and views make up for that. We were warmly welcomed by the hosts, who showed us the way by car from Boaventura and offered us eggs, fruits and veggies from their big garden. Aldino, who is taking care of the fields and animals around the house, checked in on us daily and provided fresh eggs and garden produce. Great for travellers looking for quiet, hidden places to disconnect and discover the gorgeous North side of the island.

Maria und Alexandre waren wundervolle und freundliche Gastgeber. Das Haus ist gut eingerichtet und liegt in einem Tal im Norden von Madeira mit einer spektakulären Aussicht über eine Naturlandschaft, die man vom Vorgarten, in einer Hängematte aus genießen kann. Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man Ruhe und Natur auf Madeira sucht. Wir werden definitiv wiederkommen.

Si vous avez envie de repos et calme c'est l'endroit idéal. Dans la montagne mais pas isolé (voiture indispensable malgré tout) Les hôtes sont charmants et la personne qui prend soin des animaux et les plantations est attentionné et discret. Parce que, oui, vos voisins seront des vaches, des canards et des poules !!! La vue est époustouflante. La maison à tout ce qu'il faut, idéale pour un couple. J&N

We had a great time in this nice apartment at the end of the road in the mountains! We loved to hear nothing but the sound of nature during the days, to cook outside in the fire, pick lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, the view out of the hammock every morning....just everything! A special thanks goes to Adelino - he always had a lovely word for us and showed us the best fruits, plants and how to prepare "real espetada"! :) We hope to come back in the future and highly recommend this place for all travellers who look for a beautiful and quiet place, far away from big cities and high life!

Maria, Alexandre und ihr Sohn waren sehr nette Gastgeber. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Haus war voll ausgestattet und hat einen traumhaften Ausblick. Es liegt etwas abgeschieden inmitten einer Obst- & Gemüseplantage in einem wunderschönen Tal. Ein Auto ist mit Sicherheit von Vorteil, da die Busverbindungen ausbaufähig sind.. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich einige Levada-Wanderwege- Urlauber die also auf der Suche nach Ruhe sind kommen hier zur totalen Entspannung. An frischem Gemüse, Obst und Eiern durfte man sich auch bedienen. Wir planen wiederzukommen. Nochmals ein herzliches Dankeschön an Maria, Alexandre & Sohn :-)

Absolutely gorgeous! We had an amazing stay at the comfortable chalet! The view is absolutely breathtaking, the house clean, comfortable and roomy. Madeira was really beautiful! We loved our stay and are already looking forward to our next!

What a lovely home! We loved the location, even though it's a bit remote. We enjoyed sitting out in the sun, having a meal at the outdoor table with our complimentary wine and cookies. The surrounding grape vines changing colors and fog in the mountains make for a very lovely setting. The bed is firm and comfortable, and we loved that the wood shutters on the windows kept the light out. We were able to do some laundry and hang the clothes out to dry on the clothes line. Francisco met us upon arrival and showed us around, as was responsive to our questions.

Ein tolles kleines Haus, perfekt für zwei Personen. Es liegt direkt in den Weinbergen von Sao Vicente im Norden der (URL HIDDEN) ist top ausgestattet und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt . Die Betreuung durch Francisco den Hausverwalter ist perfekt..bei Fragen ist er sofort zur Stelle. Wir haben wundervolle 14 Tage aus Madeira verbracht nicht zuletzt wegen unserer Unterkunft. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist einfach unbezahlbar.

Das süße kleine Häuschen liegt sehr schön am Berg mit tollem Ausblick. Abseits von der nächstliegenden Ortschaft Rosario. Schnell ist man mit dem Auto in Sáo Vincente und bekommt alles was man braucht. Die Unterkunft entsprach genau den Beschreibungen und ist sehr praktisch. Wir hatten den Aufenthalt zur Zeit des Erntedankfestes dort, das in Rosario groß gefeiert wurde. Schön war es dort die hiesigen Bräuche zu sehen und das große Angebot an traditionellen Speisen zu probieren. Abends wurde die Messe in der Kirche gefeiert und live über Lautsprecher ins Tal geschallt. Wir würden gerne wieder kommen, nur einen anderen Zeitpunkts wählen.

The house is located among peaceful and quiet vineyards, far away from the mass tourism. You can see how the Madeiran farmers work and you can communicate with the local community. Having a small car is highly recommended. The house is in the center of Madeira and about 3km from the VE4 main road, so you can reach every place on the island within t like heat). The chalet looks brand new and is equipped with everything you need for vacations. The pics and description correspond with the reality. The host is very friendly, offers full assistance and speaks fluent English. Responds within few minutes via Airbnb. We got a welcome bottle of Madeira wine and coffee/ tea/ biscuits. There was no problem with late check-in and late check-out. All in all, I can strongly recommend Zeficooke Chalet. It is a perfect place for people looking for quiet and peaceful vacations, close to the nature and local Madeiran community. You can have there a very high standard for a very low price.

A lovely chalet in the middle of a fantasic scenery. Everything was fine!

Our stay in the chalet couldn't have been more pleasant. The place is really beautiful, and it's easy to discover the different parts of the island from there. We had a problem with the shower and it was fixed the exact same day. We were very nicely welcomed and appreciated it. Thanks again !

Nous avons passé une très agréable semaine dans le logement de Zeferina. Le chalet est conforme aux photos et la vue est magnifique ! Si vous souhaitez passer une semaine au calme, ce logement est parfait. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Francisco. Nous recommandons ce logement.

Der Kontakt zu Gilberto war total unkompliziert. Er ist ein aufmerksamer und sehr sympatischer Gastgeber. Hat auch hin und wieder nachgefragt ob wir was brauchen. Wir sind relativ spät angekommen, was jedoch kein Problem war. Es gab sogar ein paar Köstlichkeiten als Wilkommensgruß. Die Unterkunft war für uns persönlich ein Traum. Die Hütte liegt unterhalb eines Berges. Man ist relativ "einsam" da oben. Aber genau das finden wir toll. Das Haus und der Garten sind sehr gepflegt. Wir haben uns gleich wohl gefühlt. Die Aussicht von dort ist auch einfach herrlich. Danke nochmals :)

La casa es espectacular. Muy amables y siempre atentos. Fantásticos dias

The house and the location are gorgeous. Very private and cozy. Surrounded with the mountains and owerlooking the see. Gilberto and his wife are very nice and helpful. Hope to return here someday.

the best! a beautiful, private chalet with a gorgeous view. we particularly enjoyed the garden and outdoor kitchen and b-b-q area. can't wait to come back to Madeira and Gilberto's.

Le petit chalet de Gilberto est un endroit magique où vos meilleurs amis seront le calme et la sérénité ! De très beau paysages et un magnifique couché de soleil sur porto moniz que vous pourrez apprécié depuis le hamac et le jardin. Très bien équipé, neuf, prestations de très bonnes qualités. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'espace extérieur. Merci Gilberto !

Superbe chalet sur un magnifique terrain. Le logement et le terrain sont très grands et très bien équipés. Vue superbe ... Séjour de rêve pour les amoureux de la nature. Merci Gilberto de nous faire profiter de ce cadre.

This place is a hidden gem of Madeira ! Location is just spectacular, spacious wooden modern house is just at the top of splendid green valley with a sea view from your bed:) (the house looks like brand new, and it's not just the house, in the garden there is a 2nd bathroom and 2nd kitchen and even an oven) The house is surrounded by steep mountains slopes inhabited by various species of birds and when chilling out in the garden in front of the house you have literally surround quality concert. The house is very close to the north/south tunnel and we could quickly go to Funchal or for walks and treks all around the island. It's just perfect jumping point for treks with no neighbors around and lots of privacy. Definitely I will come back as there is so much more to explore on that island. Thank you very much Gilberto for perfect vacation and see you next time.

The place is far better than the pictures do it justice. The views are unvrivalled and the outdoor kitchen is really something special - we didn't eat out once! Gilberto was also the best air bnb host I have ever had; he rescued us on arrival when we had a problem, left us wine, fruit and milk, came promptly whenever we asked any questions and looked after us so well. We will definitely be back! P.s. make sure you get a car!!

Maria a été très accueillante; nous avons apprécié le feu dans son poêle à notre arrivée, les fruits et le petit déjeuner servi par Maria; l'appartement est très confortable et les vues (mer et montagne) sont splendides; l'endroit est très calme et près des commodités de Santana.

Thank you it was perfect

Beautiful view and very comfortable amenities. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Everything was great! The appartment was clean and comfortable. Many hikes are close by. Maria is also a great host and the fresh bread and some Madeira specialities were phenomenal! When we come back to Madeira, we would book here again.

The house is great, really clean ad sunny...location is very comfortable as base-camp to explore the inner part of the island (in less than 20 min we were starting the way to Pico Ruivo) and Maria was fenomenal: she makes us feel like at home, giving us fresh fruit and croissant for breakfast

Parfait petit appartement avec mise à disposition de pleins de petits plaisirs après une journée de rando. Petit déjeuner servi à l'heure voulue et l'hôte a été très serviable. Si vous allez à Santana, il n'y a qu'une adresse et c'est celle là!

Everything was so perfect at Maria's. The room was big and nice with a big bathroom and even a private kitchen. We could use the swimming pool and we had a hamacca :) It was very clean and all the family was very nice and helpfull. We'll really go back there if we return to Madera and we'll highly recommend this address Obrigada :)

Maria is a wonderful and caring host who can really make you feel at home. She has a great place to stay, with all of the comfort you could ask for. Recommend this to anyone.

A casa do Sr. Antonio está bem localizada, tem tudo o que é necessário é muito confortável. Ideal para um casal. Gostamos muito do atendimento do Sr. António e da Sra. Isabel, pois sempre estiveram prontos a nos auxiliar no que fosse necessário.

Casinha madeirense bonita e bem equipada, ao lado da igreja de Santana. Base perfeita para fazer trekking espectaculares. Estacionamento livre e pequenas lojas nos arredores. O Sr.Antonio é host confiável, pontual e sempre bem disposto!

Adorei o local e o Sr. Manuel foi muito simpático e me deu dicas sobre o local e também do que fazer nos arredores de Santana. A casa é muito bem localizada, confortável e limpa. Adorei e voltarei com certeza!

Passei uma ótima semana na casa do Sr. António, em Santana, na Ilha da Madeira. Tudo em ordem na casa, que é muito boa para um casal. Tem todos os recursos necessários, com simplicidade, mas sem faltar nada e muito aconchegante. Esta no centro da cidade, que é pequena, calma e bem cuidada. Recomendo principalmente para quem queira estar próximo a região mais montanhosa e natural no norte da Ilha. De qualquer forma, em 30 minutos chegasse ao Funchal? Pois as estradas sao ótimas. O Sr. António, sua esposa Isabel e a Rita são todos pessoas muito amáveis. Por isso só posso deixar meu Muito Obrigado.

fantastic place to stay in the heart of Santa. 100% recommendable. Small appartment perfect for 2 persons with all you need there: Good bed, private kitchen, private bathroom and private terrace. The owners have a Supermarket just right to the corner, so everything was really easy to reach

Super accueil (et en français ;). Logement très sympa et très bien placé. Merci encore! nous espérons revenir bientôt. Philippe

Très bon séjour, petit appartement indépendant très chaleureux. Soucis avec la douche difficile à régler (soit très chaud soit très froid).

La maison se situe a coté de l'Eglise de Santana, donc facile d'accès. Antonio nous a accueillit avec le sourire en français dès que nous sommes arrivés. La chambre est très bien équipée, notre séjour a été très agréable a Santana

Absolutely wonderful place in a walking distance of Santana's city center. Major natural sights (Caldeira Verde, Pico Ruivo) are quite nearby. We had a great time there and definitely recommend you to stay there! :)

Very large studio equipped with everything you need. We were greeted warmly and the place was impeccably clean and spacious.

Wonderful studio apartment with own entrance. Silvie's dad welcomed us and spoke English very well. Perfect to stay with a baby. Thank you for your hospitality.

Hemos pasado una semana genial en el alojamiento de Silvie. Todo ha sido perfecto: la ubicación, la limpieza, la tranquilidad, cerca de restaurantes y tiendas. Nos recibieron sus padres, que son geniales. Nos dejaron su cafetera y nos dieron todo tipo de facilidades e información. Volveremos!!

We definitely recommend! We had a very pleasant stay. The appartment is cosy, nice and clean. Hosts were super welcoming and speak good English. Location is great for exploring Santana and as basis for many hikes.

Great studio, looked new and very clean. There is also an outside terrace with a table and benches that we could use. The owners live nextdoor, are very nice and helpful. Nice place to go to the Caldeirao Verde or Pico Ruivo hikes and to visit the northern part of the island. But this part of Madeira (north and especially center near the mountains) seems to be cloudy more often than the southern part though ;-) Super endroit, très agréable, récent et très propre. Il y a aussi une terrace dehors avec table et bancs en pierre. Les propriétaires vivent la maison adjacente, sont sympas et peuvent donner des conseils utiles. Bien placé pour les randos du Caldeirao Verde et Pic Ruivo, et visiter le Nord de l'île, mais le nord et surtout le centre (à cause des montagnes) semble plus souvent nuageux que le sud de l'île ;-)

Très bon accueil par les parents de Sylvie. Logement très propre et spacieux. J'ai apprécié le "catalogue" des prix du taxi proposé mis à disposition par une brochure dans le studio, ce qui m' a permis de prévoir une excursion rapidement au prix en vigueur. Si vous venez en bus, l'arrêt de bus pour repartir est situé près de la Mairie, en face des taxis.

Accueil charmant par les parents de Sylvie. Proche de restaurants bons et pas cher. Logement bien placé pour la randonnée du pico Ruivo.

La maison de DAVID est très spacieuse, confortable , très calme et bien placée pour les visites du Nord de l'ile et des pics et surtout pour les randonnées dans les levadas . Cette maison est très équipée et son jardin face à la mer est un plus très agréable . Adresse à partager . Seul bémol:le village n'est pas très équipé pour les approvisionnements ; merci pour ce séjour.

We really enjoyed our stay at David's villa. The place was great and the views are amazing.

La casa de David es mucho mejor que en las fotos, es muy amplia y estaba todo limpísimo. Las vistas son espectaculares y cocina, baño y habitaciones están totalmente equipadas. Nos recibio Jorge y nos explicó detalladamente todo lo que necesitabamos de la casa. Sin duda una gran experiencia. Lamentamos no haber podido dejar la casa más organizada al salir porque nos despertamos tarde y tuvimos que salir corriendo porque perdiamos el avion. Lo dicho, una casa y anfitriones inmejorables

David and Lina' s home is beautiful and specious. You can find in there everything and more than you would expect in any of the 4 and 5 star hotels. From the moment you wake up you can hear the ocean and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ponta Delgada. The house is situated in only 2 min walk from the pool and walking distance to the shops and some good restaurants. There are also some hotels near by where you can book some exceesions in Madeira (my family and I went for the all day off road ride with the Green Devil Saphari- it was truly breathtaking and exiting). I don't think I could find a better place to stay for my 2 weeks holiday this year.

Beautiful house, amazing views, we really had a great time in David's house!

We spent in Davids house quite a long time. It was 12 nights so we had enough time to get knowledge about this location. No problem with car parking. This is one of the most beautifull located houses I ve ever been. The view from the garden as well as from terraces/bedrooms is just stunning. Ocean, mountains, green trees beautiful church and pool which is located very nice. Ponta Delgada is very quiet place - for most of the day You can hear church bells only, during night only the sound of ocean. House and garden is pointed directly to the east so there is a lot of sun in the morning and practically up to 5-6 pm You can find sun in the garden (if there is not cloudy day what was quite often in the north of Madeira). Mornings and evenings in the garden were the best time on our holidays. House is very spacious and well equpped including all kitchen devices You can imagine - we were there with 1,5 yo boy so it was very good to have blenders, juice squeezer, oven, etc. There is also laundry so You can wash Your clothes easly. 2 bedrooms are with terraces and oceanview (directly from beds), 1 has window for neighbours site. 2 bathrooms on 1st floor and 1 additional wc on ground floor makes house comfortable. We found 1 problem in the house. There are few places You can see and feel moisture on the walls. There were no mould but there is a specific smell in the house. I think it comes from curtains and bed/sofa covers. Maybe it need to be washed. I don't know. Maybe its normal in this part of Madeira (big humidity), but there is specific smell and it has to be underlined. Maybe if house will be used regularly it will disappear. For us the smell was quite irritating but eventually You can get used to it. It needs to be underlained also that apart from that the house is clean. We faced also minor problems with hot water but they were fixed quickly by Davids representatives. Speed of WiFI provided is good and stable but signal is on ground floor only (gardem, living room, kitchen). There is no WIFI in bedrooms but eventually maybe it is a good think as You do not go sleep with Your smartphone... Nice neighours. To sum up - perfect, except the smell which probably can be invidual issue as noone before mentioned it... Some pracictal informations for future visitors: - nearest restuarant 20m away from house gate - in Casa de Capelinha. We did not tried it; there is another restaurant in a hotel placed upper in the village, also we did not tried it; there is 7 (Sevens) Bar 3 minutes by car where food can be provided - its in front of bigger hotel. we ate bolo do caco there and it was cheap and good :) - pastelarias (simple bakeries are...

We had a great time at Davids place. The holiday house is a great size and it looks like on the pictures. the proximity to the sea and pool is great. You need a car to visit nearby villages amd to go for day trips. the area and the house is kids friendly. I would recommend if you need to switch off and relax.

All I can say is that David's place is just great. Located in a beautiful spot, with breathtaking views from the backyard, really spacious (the pictures do not reflect the real size), very clean, extremely well equipped, and really comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, but there is a small restaurant just opposite of the house that offers good choice for a meal, if you're tired and don't feel like cooking in David's big and fully equipped kitchen ;) There's also a very nice pool right around the corner where you can enjoy a swim after a day of exploring. Or you can relax and sip some wine in David's backyard and just look at the pool ;) and the ocean ahead of you. If we're back to Madeira we will definitely stay there again!

very welcoming family, scenic ocean view from the living room, really fancy and spacious apartment, smart tv, wifi, highly recommended stay!

Jonas' apartment is one of the best Airbnb places I've been to, offering stunning sea views from all rooms, a great balcony and really spacious rooms. You can easily spend the whole day watching the scenery and the rough sea from the balcony. Jonas was also really responsive and his family gave us a truly warm welcome. We will surely return and can highly recommend the place.

Casa muy bonita, tal y como muestran las fotos. Situada en un pueblo muy bonito, con piscinas próxima. La familia anfitriona muy agradable. Saludos

On y a passé une nuit, le logement est très beau, la vue est superbe. Très bien équipé, on se sent bien chez soi.

Jonas himself was abroad but his mother made us welcome. Place was easy to find. Its in a small cool village, quiet, maybe at summertime more busy. Apartment was really really nice, spacious. We loved to stay there. Thank you Jonas for having us stay at your place :).

Lovely big apartment with wonderful views and outside space. Jonas's family are very friendly and communication is excellent. The north side of the island is very lush and green, rainforest like. We enjoyed walking the Levadas and the public pool and nearby natural swimming pools are good for cooling off.

When we arrived to Jonas place we were impressed with 7 meters waves. Jonas mom met us kindly and said the sea is bad today, but we found it AWESOME. It was great to see, to hear, to feel this power of nature. We slept with open windows and enjoyed this sweet background track. During days, it was a bit noisy because of construction works on a ground floor, and church bell rings pretty loud every half an hour (keep it in mind if you are with baby who requires daydream). We were with 3yo son and it wasn't a problem. It seemed that Jonas stayed online all our stay and was ready to help with anything :) Very nice host! Every evening we enjoyed fish and shrimps barbeque (but don't forget to buy firewood/coil, host don't provide it)! Swimming pools were closed (end of march), but we could swim in ocean in Seixal (nice black sand beach), the water wasn't extremely cold (+19-20). Family owns a bakery downstairs, and pastels de nata made by Jonas mom are best we ate on Madeira, as well as coffee. Important notice: this location (and WHOLE MADEIRA) requires a car. We were on wheels during the whole Madeira stay, with a final tripcount over 1000 kms. If you rent a car - Jonas location is a very good place to stay on a north coast. Also if you are a fresh fish lover (as we are) keep in mind that shop facilities are rather weak on the north coast, and it is almost impossible to buy fresh fish here (only frozen is available), so we had to buy fresh fish in Ribeira Brava's Continente supermarket (25 minutes ride). It wasn't a problem, because every day we discovered the island by car.

Très bel appartement Avec magnifique vue sur l'océan. Soleil matin et soir ! Splendide !

The cottage and the view on Sao Vicente valey was fantastic. Inside cottage everything what we need and very helpfull owner Joao. Thank you Joao for everything :-).

Bon accueil de Joao qui est très sympathique, même s'il est bien plus à l'aise en Portugais qu'en anglais ou en français. Le gîte est vraiment super. Il est plutôt grand, confortable et très bien équipé. Et surtout, pour les amoureux du calme et de la nature, il est idéalement placé... on y accède par un petit chemin, à l'écart de la route et des autres maison, une vue superbe sur la vallée. Nous y avons passé un très bon séjour.

Chalet au top perché sur les hauteurs Vacances agréables La route pour y accéder est un peu sportive mais se fait Une voiture est obligatoire pour ce logement Joao est très accueuillant et à l'écoute de ses hotes

Really nice house, and Joao is really available. Right like the pictures, and the landscape is amazing! Obrigada!

La maison de Joao est vraiment un endroit calme. Elle est située sur les hauteurs avec un joli panorama. L intérieur est propre et fonctionnel. Joao à été très accueillant et disponible. Joli logement dans un bel endroit

Accueil excellent ! Le logement est un peu compliqué a trouver et situé au bout d'une piste mais Joao nous a rejoint devant l'église de Lameiros pour nous conduire au chalet ce qui fait que nous n'avons eu aucune difficulté ! Accueil en Français et raisin de Madère offert, Joao est la gentillesse même ! Le chalet est spacieux, moderne et très bien équipé, et avec un vue imprenable sur la vallée ! Un séjour au top !

C'est un chalet isolé, ce qui correspondait parfaitement à nos attentes. Il est spacieux, très bien équipé et meublé avec goût. On y trouve tout le nécessaire pour y passer un formidable séjour. Joao nous a donné un point de rencontre aisé et nous a guidé jusqu'au logement. Il parle correctement français et nous n’avons eu aucun problème de communication . Il a répondu patiemment à toutes nos questions avant le séjour. Son miel est délicieux. Le site est magnifique : vue sur Sao Vicente et la mer en contrebas. La prestation est de qualité. Lors d'un prochain séjour sur Madère, ce sera une étape incontournable pour nous !

We stayed one week in Joao's chalet and enjoyed it a lot. Very friendly and welcoming host. The chalet is located in the mountains so you have an excellent view over the valley. Very quiet place in the nature and the chalet is charming and big with everything you need provided. Thanks a lot for your hospitality Joao!

A morada está completamente nova e têm umas vistas incríveis. A acolhida foi muito boa por parte dos seus pais. Tudo otimo!

Trata-se de um apartamento em muito boas condições, num povoação muito sossegada e rodeada de beleza natural. Tem umas ótimas piscinas públicas a 100m. Recomendamos.

Foi a mãe do Jonas que nos recebeu, muito simpática e acolhedora. A casa está bem decorada e confortável. De passagem ou para relaxar vale mesmo a pena. Obrigado por tudo!

Jonas and his family are very dedicated to hosting. They have a friendly simple village cafe so you can mingle with locals

Awesome view. Clean, spacious apartment. Thank you to Jonas who is vety friendly and helpful.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Jonas' place. The location is fantastic with the view over the church along the coast line, the sound of the sea and quietness of Ponta Delgada. The apartment itself is comfortable, spacious and clean. And the host, incl. Jonas' parents, are very kind and helpful. We can certainly recommend this apartment to travellers.

A lovely stay hosted by a very welcoming, accommodating and hospitable family (who also runs a shop that makes the most delicious bread!) The flat is lovely and spacious with a great barbecue area and views of the sea and church square. The only issue we had was with the airconditioning, but this was addressed and resolved by the hosts as soon as they were made aware of the issue. Jonas and his family went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. Ask Jonas to share his very helpful digital map when you check in. He recommended a beautiful walk that we thoroughly enjoyed as a family. A lovely apartment with great views! And a beautiful and very welcoming host family! We would recommend this flat.

Jonas's place is brand new and exceptionally well decorated. It is beautiful! There are several large sliding doors and a big balcony all with views of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean and indescribable mountains. The location is about 45 minutes driving from Funchal, but we highly prefer it over the city. There were no other tourists, and we were able to drive around the whole city. Plus, the best views on the island are from the North-end, right where Jonas's place is! The house is right above a cafe where you can get breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks. We will definitely be back.

We spent two nights in Maria's appartment which is very nice, clean and comfortable. Maria brought us fresh bread and croissants each morning for breakfast. We also had fruits, café, tea, yoghurts... It was a nice place for hiking (Pico Ruivo, Caldeirao Verde...). We definitely recommend.

Maria is a great host and was really kind with lots of attentions despite our stay of only one night. The flat is huge and well equipped, a bit old fashionned furniture but not a problem at all as everything was really clean and funtional. I think it is a good place to stay to explore the Santana region and do a few levadas.

Nous avons passé un super séjour chez Maria, qui nous a accueillies très chaleureusement. L'appartement est spacieux, moderne et très bien tenu. En plus, Maria avait prévu pour nous: corbeille de fruits, cadeaux culinaires, et petit-déjeuner offert chaque matin! Elle est aussi très serviable, ce qui vaut aussi pour les habitants de Santana. Je recommande cet endroit!

Maria was very welcoming and reactive and her place was the perfect location to explore the mountains & levadas around (perfect to start early the Levada do Caldeirão Verde). The flat is very large. The place was just a bit cold/humid because the weather was not so good outside (but there is one heating if needed), as some other places we visited in Madeira.

Great place to stay and live the simple life

Great location, in the middle of nature. We had problems with our flights, so that we were one day later. Gonçalo was as kind as to reimburse a day. Just book this, you won't regret!

"Paradise in the woods" is a suitable title for this lovely small cottage. We have felt fine there, could well take it easy. Therefore we are broken open with a high recreational value after just one month again to home. With pleasure we would have remained longer. If one does not make too high demands in luxury and purity and loves the rustic it is exactly the right place without mass tourism. Volker + Iris

The cottage is very cute and has everything you need. Although making fire to cook was tough in the beginning we got used to it and enjoyed (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication and Check-in was easy and his brother welcomed us although we arrived late at night, which was super flexible! The location is awesome, you could always hear the creek behind the house and the birds in the morning, we really enjoyed our time in the cottage and can definitely recommend staying there!

Nous venons de passer 10 jours excellents. Tous les commentaires d'avant confirment notre expérience. Le lieu dans une belle nature, avec un calme et une vue sur l'océan !!! Les photos sont la réalité du lieu. Gonçalo est super sympa, présent et très réactif. La cuisinière au feu de bois est une belle idée !!! Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir. Merci

Bonne semaine de vacances au calme

Gonçalo and his brother whom we met are very communicative providing us much useful information. The place is secluded and surrounded by woods and mountains with stream just beside the cabin. Place for someone that seeks close contact to nature. Recommended!

This place is really special. The house is nice but what's truly great is the location. It's on a road that goes uphill and is a dead end. Further uphill there is a very small house which seems like a holiday home and was deserted when we were there. And at the end there is another house quite far from the road and a small orchard. This means that a few times a day a car may go up or down. And twice we saw some hikers... and that's it. No other traffic, no noise, no street lights, no stress. Just beautiful nature surrounding you. We received a very friendly welcome from Miguel, Gonçalo's brother. He met us in Ponta Delgada and drove in front of us to the house and explained everything, which was great. (Theoretically you could take a bus to Ponta Delgada and then do the very steep hike to the house every day. But I would VERY strongly recommend a car to get here.) Cooking on the wood stove is an interesting challenge for city people... and if you get desperate, there is also a microwave ;-) Ponta Delgada is a nice, friendly village. Do take the time to look around a bit. It has some nice bars but dinner options are a bit thin on the ground. However, there are several restaurants on the road to Sao Vicente. As others have said, the mornings may be cold. Then again, when the sun is out, the afternoons will be hot. So bring a sweater, but some t-shirts as well. We stayed for three weeks and during that time a cleaning lady came over three times (we knew in advance when she was coming) and brought us clean towels, changed the sheets and tidied the house. She did a stellar job. Thanks for everything, it was a great experience!

Excelente acolhimento!

I am glad that I stayed here. I have stayed around Funchal many times so it was a nice break to be in a quite community. There are vines growing nearby and the road to get there is almost worth staying for alone. There is also a trail nearby that I did not travel on but it looks like it goes towards Santana. Overall it's a nice option to stay at and Nelio's family is nice (I did not meet Nelio).

Best b&B ever, they neighbourhood was great, the neighbours brought us fresh eggs and fruits. The place itself is very spacious, very well located and stunning view over the sea definitely recommend.

Everything was perfect. Clean place with everything you need. Lovely helpful family. Beautiful surrounding

not sure where would i start , place is magnificent for a nature lovers , quiet ,safe and scenery around breathtaking ,during one week stay i have learned alot about local culture, food and meet a fantastic pople, if you like to learn about local culture enjoy moutain walks or you love the sea then this is the right place .... i will definately be back that is for sure i already miss the place where i felt like at home ...

Super accueil de Nélio qui est venu me chercher à l'aéroport à minuit passé malgré les 45 minutes de route et m'y a déposé au retour à 8h du matin. La maison est très bien et propre merci encore !

Todo bom! Bonita casa y sympatica. Obrigada para la fruta ! Beautiful nature and calme place. There are bus and trek possible easily so its perfect for traveller who liké trekking!

An amazing peaceful place and truly lovely hosts. Great value for what it is as you will have a whole house to yourself. It has all imaginable amenities so you could really feel as home. It's situated in Arco de Sao Jorge - one of the prettiest super scenic little villages in the north of Madeira. It's very quiet up there and is perfect for people who come to walk some levadas and hike as there are plenty of trecks in the area. Sunsets are gorgeous in here. If you are without a car bring some food with you as there are not much of choice in the little shops/bars there. If you do though - you can have a total blast at the house creating whatever you want as it's equipped with everything you would need. Loved that I was waking up with birds chirping near my window and the area is just breathtaking, so pretty.. The hosts were absolutely incredible. They welcomed me with a local liquor and traditional sweet cake. Also shared fresh bread and was always there, in the next house whenever I needed them. Amazing people. Definitely coming back :) Thank you for all.
