Thanks for that great place..we enjoyed a awesome time..the room was very clean and big enough..adriana and her family are very nice..we felt us very conftebole.

We had a beautiful stay at Adriana place. Everything was like on the photos even better. Mountain rock next to the house creates a spectacular view and incredible natural atmosphere. We had a small talk with Adriana family and everyone was very kind and open. We would definitely recommend this amazing place !!!

We had a wonderful stay at Adriana's house. Everything is as described - you got your own bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and a spacious outdoor area. So whenever you want, you can have your privacy. Adriana and her family gave us a warm welcome and we we immediately felt like staying at good friends. It was one of our best airbnb experiences so far. We'll definitely come back soon :) All the best from Germany!

Adriana's home is just perfect! From the first initial message she was great. Offering to pick us up from the airport was a great help, she gave us lots of info on the drive from the airport about the area and great places to eat etc and even dropped by the supermarket so we could grab essentials. The place is beautiful. Just as in the photos only more stunning! It was spotless and neat and charming and homely! The location is perfect for a quiet break away from reality, was just what I needed. I will definitely be back!

We have been lucky enough to stay in beautiful hotels and locations all around the world and Sunset Sea Breeze and Madalena do Mar is now certainly one of our favourites. Adriana and Sancho are THE most grascious hosts, sharing not only their beautiful home but their great knowledge and passion for Madeira. They made us feel instantly welcome and went out of their way to make our holiday both relaxing and a great 'travel' experience too. The accommodation is exactly as shown and described, everywhere is spotlessly clean, the bathroom is spacious, the bed is very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We also received yummy Madeiran 'treats' in our room which was a lovely suprise on arrival and very much appreciated. The garden and the view is just the best, the view to the beach with the rocks is stunning and listening to the sea as you go to sleep is heaven. We really wanted a non tourist experience and this was exactly what we received as this is an area of the coast that is mainly used by local people, making it beautifully relaxing and quiet. We even had the opportunity to attend a village festival to enjoy the traditional celebrations and the local delicacies on offer, all thanks to Adriana and Sancho. For what you pay, this REALLY is a 5 star experience and we are already planning our next trip as we had one of the best holidays ever(URL HIDDEN)

Adriana and her family are lovely. Her place is beautiful and she is an awesome host! Thank you for taking good care of us. We really enjoyed our stay.

Realy nice family and a lovely accomadation on a beautyful place. Thanks Adriana for our stay

Adriana made me feel welcome at their beautiful family house straight away. The communication was great, the room and private bathroom very clean, and I much liked sleeping to the sound of the waves and the sea. The room offers a TV and has a private access. I would definitely stay there again.

The stay in this house was amazing the house is situated in the part of the island with better weather, was always sun, even that was cloudy in most part of Funchal not in madalena do mar. Amazing views from the house to the cliffs and sea and if you want to go to the beach you just need to walk 5/6min and if you don't have nothing to eat at home or you filling relax at home you have 3 fishermen restaurants right next to the house. I had an amazing vacation and I'm tankful I choose this house :D

Modern, spacious and very well equipped house close to local restaurants. There were only two of us but the house can easily accommodate more and we found it very comfortable stay.

This house is the most beautiful place we have been. Very spacious, modern. We really enjoyed our staying ! We did not lack of anything. Perfect place and guest, very kind and helpful Muito obrigada

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Perestrelo House. The house is very nice and comfortable so that we all felt very well. Everything we needed was there so that we didn't have to contact Florinda to ask her for anything, but nevertheless we felt looked good after because from time to time Florinda asked per mail if we needed anything. In every case, we would come here again!

It is difficult to add new to already written reviews. Hosts are very friendly, attentive and helpful. The house is very nice, spacious and cozy. We were missing nothing. However, you should not expect a dead silence there, the village life is not silent, but also not annoying, house is well soundproofed. There are good dining possibilities within walking distance. However, the nearest shopping center is about 3 km away. If it rains long enough (which is, however, very rarely the case), small river behind the house turns into a real and loud mountain river, a real force of natural violence, but it did not take long until it settled. Since the island is not very large and traffic engineering is well developed, one reaches by car any destination below one hour. I do not know what else to write, but we will necessarily rent the house again.

What a great place to stay at. For the price of half a hotel room we stayed in a luxury house in perfect state. And as a bonus our 3 year old daughter was allowed to play with the owners children's toys. A perfect stay in this sunny part of Madeira.

Really a great location, the house is huge, clean and well equipped. The outside BBQ area is fantastic, all the rooms have everything you need in high-quality. We spent a wonderful week in this house. The village is not very touristic but very sympathetic and has some nice spots to eat and drink. Even though we did not meet Florinda in person, the email contact was very responsive and friendly. Handover of keys was well organized with her family.

The Perestrelo house is beautiful and located in one of the nicest small towns in Madeira. There is a gorgeous black sand beach just down the road, a few tasty local restaurants, and a lovely atmosphere to relax in. The only downside is the banana factory across the street, which is loud in the mornings. If you are sensitive to noise bring earplugs for sleeping and it won't bother you at all. We were able to enjoy many wonderful quiet nights on the patio with beautiful views. Madeira itself is amazing and we were so sad to leave. The hosts met us as the house and checked in during the week to make sure all was ok - and it was perfect! Thank you for a great stay :)

Ana made us very welcome. The facilities were just as described. The location was perfect for us.

We were very pleased to stay in this beautiful house everything was perfect the bedroom with very comfortable bed, the nice bathroom, the kitchen and of course the swimming pool and comfortable armchairs to rest around it I forget the nice garden and the fantastic view But the most important is the warm welcome and Ana's advices for restaurant or visits we will recommend your address to our friends

I highly recommend Ana's place! She is a wonderful host who cares very much about every detail and making her guests feel 100% at home. The hammocks and pool area are great to relax. Very cool outside/inside kitchen for the guests to use. Also around the corner you can find a lovely family restaurant with fresh seafood. Ana -- Thank you for our sweet "taste of Madeira" ! These were the best two nights in Madeira ! All the best to you and your family! We would definitely come back again! Xx Sofia and Tom

Thanks so much once more, we enjoyed and loved the place! We got our car right next to the door. There was two very good restaurants in three minutes walk distance and a really nice cafeteria by the beach. We slept very well just listening to waves and birds when a window was open. The weather was very warm and sunny for us, when it was start of February. We love to come back!

Anas House is a great spot to hang out. Quiet,clean, and the Pool is amazing! 5 Stars! She is also really helpful and communication was Easy! Thanks again Ana! We will be back!

Very awesome place, this was exactly what we needed a beautiful room next to the ocean and an amazing swimming pool, perfect if you need to chill. And Ana is a great host, it was nice to meet her.

We were two nights at Ana's house and had a wonderful stay. Ana welcomed us very warm, showed us everything and gave some recommendations for eating and nice spots. The room is very lovely and really quite. We ate breakfast in the sun on the terrace - what a perfect way to start the day. We would definitely come back and stay even longer. Thanks Ana!

The resort is very quiet and ideal for anyone that wants to get away from it all. The room has everything you could need and the pool is lovely and warm. The breakfast area by the pool is lovely and has an area you can cook in the evening if you want. Ana is very welcoming and very helpful and also speaks very good English. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Hansje, once again thanks a lot to host us over the last week at your home, it was a fabolous time spending in the island and as well at your place. If I would be back to Madeira, Hainje's home would be definitely my preference to stay in. Kind Regards, Jose

Great hospitality from Hansje and Harry! They are very kind people. There are rare places in Madeira with no stairs and an amazing view to the ocean : we think this is the best one (if not the only one!). The place was as delightful as it looks to be. The closed garden enabled us to let our baby walk safely from the lodge to the outside and then to easily reach the promenade. We enjoyed the sound of the sea, Sunset and the calm. Perfect!

It was beautiful stay at Hansje and Harry`s place, they're very kind and helpful people :) Beautiful view just in front of the house and the house is really calm place with everything you need :) Thank you very much for everything!

If you search for a place to relax, this will be the place to be. The hosts are very likable and helpful. The location is really great: very close to the sea, but not as touristic as other places. The house and the equipment is in a very good condition. If we visit Madeira again, we will come back for sure.

This place is very nice. Madeira is wonderfull.

Lovely location just by the promenade opposite the sea and surrounded by a banana plantation. We were greeted by Hansje and Henry who were welcoming and helpful too. We later met Phillip their small dog who came to visit and made us welcome as well . It was nice to sit outside to have breakfast in the morning in the garden. The village is very traditional and small with several restaurants and the central church. We enjoyed eating at the taverna and coffee at the local bar all within short walking distance. If you want a quiet place next to the sea with few tourists then this is the place. The apartment was well equipped although the only cooking we managed was filter coffee. The shower is hot and powerful. Recommend a visit, if you like walking some great routes along the levadas (water channels) although you do need a car. The island is very special with lots of tropical flowers and special forests and a mild climate

Hansje and her husband were fantastic hosts, welcomed us very warmly and took care of all our belongings or questions. The apartment is equipped with everything you need and we enjoyed our stay very much, especially the very nice garden. Greetings from Berlin

In one of the nicest place of Madeira, in a beautiful position both to reach the rest of the island and to enjoy the sea just in front of the house, not to mention the parking two minutes far. Many thanks to our Hosts, they did everything to give us a very good time.

Nice and very clean location in a banana plantation, smell of lavender on the terrace and the garden is a dream =) Celestes cake is delicious and we got a lot of fresh fruits. Unfortunately the internet with the repeater didnt work at any time. Password for neighbour house given to us did not work either, so we had to plan all the upcoming trips on our excursions, which was not that nice. At night we were eaten by mosquitos (despite the fact we just opened the window when light was out), so bring protection or a net since there is no gaze in the window.

It was a great stay. The apartment is surrounded by banana plants and avocado trees. It is comfortable, calm and has a sunny terrace with sea view. Every day the hosts Ermelinda and Celeste treated us with delicious fruits or real Madeira cake. We really enjoyed the time at Catarinas Cottage!

We had a wonderful time at Quinta do Conde and didn't want to leave at all :-) Celeste is a very welcoming and heart-warming host and her cakes are highly recommended!

Beautiful view to the ocean and a nice, calm place to relax - all that we needed. It was a perfect match. We enjoyed it very much and look forward to visiting again. I can recommend to anyone looking for a perfect chill-out.

Celeste and her place saved my soul : )

We had a wonderful time in the house with a wonderful view on the sea from the terrace. We were welcomed with fruits from the garden and cake. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks a lot Céleste !

Perfect host, perfect accommodation, beautiful location. Fresh bananas every day! Thank you Celeste! Dan and Cansu

This place is pure magic. It is a huge banana plantation rich with exotic fruits, threes and flowers importet from all ower the world. I believe this is one of the best places i have stayed at. It has many gardens that you are free to enjoy. The hoste Celest is a lovely woman, who keept saying that we should be happy and enjoy the place. So we did. It is a place to nourish the soul. I feel greateful to have experienced it.

Óptimo espaço e local maravilhoso,onde o sol brilha sempre. Mesmo que chova noutra parte da ilha. Por isso se chama ponta do sol.

We had a very pleasant stay at Sofias place. Her mother welcomed us very kindly. The whole family was friendy and helpful. We even got some welcome goodies. Madalena do Mar is a beautyful place to relax and start tours all over the island. Te Sea House is exactly descibed and just like seen on the photos. It was absolutely clean and we had everything we needed for our stay.

The flat is just amazing, very cosy, new, clean, modern and just by the sea! Sofia and Joao are very friendly and communication with them was very easy. I would definitely recommend this flat!!!

We loved madeira! The house was very cousy with a lovely view located in one of the suniest spots of the island. We had a very warming reception from Sofia's mom. We'll return for sure.

Sept 2017 Stayed at Sofia's place for 4 nights. Check in with Sofia's mother was easy and she was lovely. Joao contacted me the day before arrival to facilitate check in. The apartment was VERY clean and had all the basics needed plus some goodies left by Sofia's mother. Location was great with a swimming beach in walking distance. You could also just step across the street to the wooden platforms and umbrellas on the rocky shore to enjoy wave watching. Watched a few amazing sunsets with a glass of wine on the balcony. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was soothing. Great Stay!

Perfect! We were at a local area with a splendid beach view in front of our steps, mountains over looking us with a small water fountain, and surrounded by hundreds of banana trees. An excellent landlord. An extremely clean apartment. Fresh caught fishes from the local fish restaurant only 10 min walk away. This was more than what we wanted. We l(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)ed it and would love to come here again!

Je recommande vivement ce logement, l'endroit est magnifique et le logement est super. Nous sommes restés une petite semaine, nos hôtes Joao & Sofia étaient très disponibles si nous avions besoin de renseignements ! Nous avons été accueilli par la maman de Sofia qui a été très attentionnée pendant notre séjour. Si vous voulez vous endormir avec le bruit des vagues, vous levez face à la mer et aux champs de bananes c'est sûr qu'il ne faut pas hésiter ! Anne et Alexandre I highly recommend this accommodation, the place is beautiful and the accommodation is great. We stayed for a week, our hosts Joao & Sofia were very available if we needed any information! We were greeted by the mum from Sofia who was very attentive during our stay. If you want to fall asleep with the sound of the waves, you face the sea and the fields of bananas for sure you do not hesitate! Anne and Alexandre

Le logement est situé sur la cote Sud de l'île, à l'écart des plus grandes villes, plus touristiques. Il est calme et à deux pas de la mer (une route à traverser). Nous avions également une place pour garer notre véhicule de location. On trouve de quoi se restaurer à proximité. Le logement est bien équipé et était très propre. Nous avons été accueillis par la mère de Sofia, qui ne parle pas anglais ni français mais a su tout nous expliquer avec un super sourire ! Nous avons également eu la chance de trouver fréquemment devant notre porte des fruits frais. Merci encore à elle ! Sofia a été également très disponible pour répondre à nos questions tout au long du séjour. Nous recommandons cette destination !! ********* The house is located on the South of the Island, few kilometers from biggest cities, more touristic. It is calm and next to the sea (only a road to cross !). We had a place to park our rental car. The house is well furnished and really clean. Sofia's mother welcomed us, and despite she does not speak english or french, succeded in explaining us everything. Moreover, we were very pleased to regularly find fruits in front of the door ! Thanks again for that ! Sofia was also really avalilable to answer our questions all our stay long. We do recommand this address :)

Le logement était très propre, les hôtes à nos petits soins. Ce sont les parents de Sofia qui nous ont remis les clés à notre arrivée, ils sont vraiment adorables. Ils nous offert quelques spécialités ; un bolo de mel, des dragés, des cookies, une belle coupe de fruits ! Le logement est très facile à trouver, une belle vue sur l'océan de la terrasse, avec tout ce qu'il faut pour passer de bonnes vacances. Nous y sommes restés 8 nuits. Enfin, un matin nous avons eu la surprise d'un sachet de banane devant notre porte ! Merci encore pour tout ! Pauline & Thomas

Every things exellent. Tout parfait. Todo fantastico. I recommend absolutly. Vraiment je recomend. Totalmente recomendable.

José met us at a pre-arranged place and showed us around Ponta do Sol first. The house at Madalena do Mar, when we arrived, was just as described here but better! It was spotlessly clean and beautifully fitted out and furnished. José and his Sisters were very welcoming and had put fresh flowers, bananas and a papaya in the house for us. We had bad weather this week so didn't see as much of Madeira as we would have liked. All the more reason to visit this house again sometime! It is very well placed for touring the Island by car and was easy to find and come home to each day. Thank you José and your Sisters!

A amazing little House right next to a (stony) beach. Easy to remember how to get there. Fantastic kitchen and Bedrooms. All you need for your relaxed, cosy vacation. We had a very warm welcome by José and his sister and spend some wonderful days right between banana plants and the sound of the ocean. The house is well equiped and everything seems to be brand new. All very clean! Thank you, José for everything. It was a pleasure to meet you and it definitly won't be our last time on Madeira. Last but not least cause of this wonderful place :)

This house is perfectly formed in every way. It's easy to find, clean and everything that we needed was there. José and Clautilda were very helpful and kind throughout our visit and left us a selection of fruit on arrival. I could have stayed forever. Thanks again.

Think it is the best place in order to discover Madeira Island. Close to main trails. Really quiet house despite the proximity of the road, at two steps of the sea. You have all the comfort in this house for staying with a family or couple, for more than a week. The sister of José (she lives close to the house), and him are always there to help you if any matters. Can highly recommend this Air Bnb opportunity (cheap for the quality of the services). Taste the Bananas, they are excellent !

Perfect reception and guidance from Jose. The house was very well renovated end extremely clean. Jose's family living in front of the house is very nice and descrete. A perfect place to stay if you have your own car or other transportation.

The host canceled this reservation 165 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Staying at Jose's beach house was really a perfect choice for us! We were very warmly welcomed by Jose and his sisters, we were provided with fresh bananas, avocados anf other tropical fruits and we could really enjoy our holidays on Madeira island. The house is very nice, with all new and modern equippement, just in front of the sea shore in a small, calm village. And we could easily reach all the other points of the island from there or just enjoy one of the beaches in the proximity. I can warmly recommend this accomodation! Obrigada Jose!

Amazing accommodation

Maria et Paulo ont été parfaits, logement conforme à la description, très propre et bien situé à quelques mètres de la plage ! Je recommande

Logement traversant très bien aménagé, propre et très bonne situation. Tranquille, magnifique vue sur la mer. Nous recommandons vivement ce logement...

Sitio perfecto para descansar. Muy bien ubicado con acceso fácil a carretera principal en un pueblo tranquilo donde se puede descansar, hacer deporte, comer bien... Los anfitriones muy amables, desde el primer día. Aún viviendo en el mismo sitio, Han respetado la intimidad en todo momento . La casa muy limpia y cómoda. Muy recomendable.

Logement très bien situé, accueil impeccable et précisions d'arrivées parfaites. Petite plage (crique) de sable noir à quelques mètres, petite gargote au même niveau, bref très bon endroit, nous recommandons !

Incredible apartment: huge rooms with all stuff you need, stunning sunsets views, beach just next to the apartment and local restaurant (with delicious sea-food) nearby. It's also a great starting point for a car trips through the island. Thank you Ricardo for sharing this place!

It is beatifull location out of rush of town (exactly what we were looking for). We loved that place and would be great to stay longer. House is fully equiped and newly renovated. We strongly recommend rent a small car as the roads on island are quite narrow and it will also help you to park the car just next to the house (behind gate). Good restaurant is close under the hill in Madalena so approx. 3-5 min by car. Location is suitable for travelling over whole island as even the furthest destination is still about 1h of drive time so you can stay on one place whole vacations (as we did). Last but not least - partly covered terrace with nice view over the valley ;).

Lovely peaceful house with amazing views over the valley and towards the sea. All the facilities you could wish for, even a hammock and bbq facilities in the garden! Even better than the photos. Didn't meet Ivo but his sister Zita took care of all our needs and was always available to assist if required. Up a very steep hill, you definitely need a hire car with some power, this goes as well for exploring this beautiful island

We had a great stay in Madalena do mar. The apartment is very clean, new and well equiped. Nice terrace to enjoy a sunny breakfast. Ivo has been very welcoming and thoughful with us. We recommand without any hesitation!

The place was great. Ivo was nice. I really enjoy my holidays. Beach at 10 minute by car. Just important to rent a car to live there cz it can be difficult with taxi. It is calm with a good view. Thanks.

Nice house v n perfect location with beautiful view. We can recommend it.

Beatiful apartment with amazing view, really good communication with Ivo, everything was clean and nice. You need to have a car for this location.

Tres belle quinta a flan de coteaux . Belle terrasse . Tout est neuf . Merci Ivo

Maison très confortable, cuisine très bien équipée, la douche est parfaite aussi, il ne manque rien. Concernant l'hôte : échange facile, disponible et soucieux de notre confort tout au long du séjour. Nous étions venus pour randonner et cette maison était bien placée pour l'ensemble de nos parcours sur l'île (à condition d'avoir une voiture bien sûr). Merci Ivo !

Great Apartment and nice Host. Everything clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Carla's place is like a dream: it's really spacious, light and has absolutely beautiful views of the sea and the mountains. The sunsets you can enjoy from the balcony are out of this world. The sea is practically on your doorstep and two minutes from the apartment building there is a promenade with some exercise machines. Once you've done some exercise, you can reward yourself with a coffee or an icecream at the small coffee shop at the end of the promenade. Carla's flat is very well equipped, clean and welcoming. There are some really nice touches, like the selection of books in a number of languages and beach towels that you can use. We absolutely loved staying at Carla's and hope to return not only to Madeira but to her apartment, too.

This place is unbelievable! What an amazing stay my partner and I had! The hosts themselves greated us, even though we were an hour late due to a delayed plane, they had fresh fruit and wine waiting for us, good English, pointed out the nearest restaurants and places to purchase food. Super warm welcome which was lovely! The apartment was fantastic, very large, even better than is photographed, fully equipped and in a perfect location. For its out of the way while at the same time super easy to find. It's the sort of place you could move into tomorrow and live there quite happily. Overall one of the best places I've stopped after booking through AirBnB. No complaints at all, we will be back and with daughter in tow next time.

Great view.

Excellent accomodation with a very helpful host

Very clean and convenient appartment, Better if you don't need the bed in the living room, as on the way between the master bedroom and the bathroom. All the equipment you need is here with a very good wifi connection. the parking in the basement is also very convenient. We recommend without hesitation !

Great location but presently suffers from traffic noise which will be significantly reduced when new bypass is opened shortly. Apartment had a couple of maintenance issues about which I advised Carla who undertook to get them resolved quickly. On the whole, enjoyed our stay, terrific island with great food and wine and will return someday.

We stayed at Carlas place for 9 nights and had a truly wonderful time! The views are breathtaking, the apartment is spacious and clean. Carla made us feel so welcome and was a great host! Would recommend this place to anyone who's after a retreat away from big city life.

Nelson's flat is located next to a banana plantation - and you can actually smell the sweet aroma while having breakfast on the space balcony looking to the sea. This really feels like holidays. The apartment is located in one of the sunniest regions on Madeira a little off the beaten tracks which makes it a nice starting place to explore the city. Check out one of the beautiful sun downers with some local bavarages on the veranda!

Appartement tout à fait conforme au descriptif À recommander

Nous avons séjourné plusieurs nuits dans l'appartement de Nelson. Et que dire ! L'appartement est parfait ! Très grand, propre, lumineux, silencieux, avec une très grande terrasse et une vue magnifique sur l'océan et les falaises situées juste en face de l'appartement. Ce dernier est très bien équipé ! Nous avons été accueillis par la compagne de Nelson. Tout s'est très bien passé. Madalena do Mar est un village très agréable et ensoleillé. Et l'appartement est situé au milieu d'une bananeraie. Nous ne pouvons que recommander cet appartement !

Sandra and Christina made us feel very welcome and gave us lots of time when we arrived, explaining the accommodation and nearby attractions. Everything was simple and easy and the house had everything we could possibly want, and a few more details and extras to make us feel special. We really enjoyed our time here. The house was lovely and the neighborhood really friendly with a great atmosphere.

This house exceeded our expectations, very pretty, cousy, clean and well equiped. The owners are very helpfull and the receival was sweet. The house is located in the middle of a fishermen district, which makes the stay very special. We will always remember this place!

We enjoyed our stay in this quiet and lovely house very much. Perfect spot for a few days of relaxing and beautiful sunsets. Christina and Sandra are very attentive and friendly. They gave us a very warm welcome with homemade cookies and portwine. Thank's for the nice days in Madalena do mar.

We had a lovely stay at the sea house! It was clean and across from the beach. A taste of the local life and near shops and some restaurants. A great place to start from to explore Madeira. The only negative thing is that sandtrucks drive past the house in the morning but that's it!

A lovely cottage with the sea right across the little street (barely any traffic for it´s not the main road). A quiet and relaxing place. All you hear is the surf of the rolling waves. The cottage is beautifully decorated with a feel for detail in colour and display. Sandra and Christina welcomed us warmley with a Madeira wine and biscuits, really lovely and helpful hosts. We would definitely come again.

Sandra and Cristina gave us very useful tips (things to see, places to go) for our holiday in Madeira. The house is very well located and just like in the pictures. Now there's a bar at the beach just across the street. A very good place to get a get drink. We had a wonderful time in Madeira !

We really enjoyed living so close by the sea. The house is very tasteful equipped, you find everything you need. Sandra is very kind, helped with us with questions and gave us valuable tips.

We had a really lovely time at Sandra and Christina's cottage (our first visit to Madeira). Its exactly as the pictures show - well designed and newly refurbished with great attention to detail, perfect size for the two of us. Sandra and Christina were there to meet us and show us round and left us complimentary homemade cookies and madeira wine, and there were lots of thoughtful touches like a bottle of cold vinho verde in the fridge and capsules for the Nespresso machine. The location is very quiet, so perfect if you don't want to be surrounded by other tourists. The road in front of the house isn't the main road so you don't get much traffic, and you can watch the sunset every night from the beach across the road or from the little roof terrace round the back - I spent most of my time in the hammock on the terrace. It was off season so Magdalena Do Mar was very quiet, which was exactly what we wanted from our holiday. The nearest supermarket is ten minutes drive west in Calheta (which has a sandy beach), we also really liked the beach bar at Ponta Do Sol (5 minutes drive, excellent prego especial) and the local Taberna is super friendly and within walking distance (5 minutes walk down towards Magdalena Do Mar). We'd recommend getting a hire car to explore the island. We'd definitely stay here again. Thanks so much!

We had a wonderful stay and Catarina is a great host. She waited for us with the beautiful paradise flowers, traditional honey cake and bananas. We received a lot of good recommendations from her for places to visit or restaurants. The house looks better in the pictures with an amazing view of the ocean. It's fully equiped and has even a barbeque. Absolutely recommend the place, we will definetely come back next time we will be in Madeira.

The house is beautiful: very clean and confortable.

We had a great time in an awesome scenery in a beautiful house. It was clean and stuffed with all needs and utilities u will need for a comfortable stay. Catarina is a great host and she also open for all questions during our stay. She waited for us when we arrived and showed and explained everything. The house is as beautiful as in the pictures. We absolutely recommend the place to everybody and we would definetely come back next time we will be in Madeira. Also because Calheta with its beach is a good place to enjoy and to start trips for hiking.

Very warm welcome with flowers and bananas. The House is very beautiful, clean and has everything you need as well for small children. Said that, it is very family friendly and quiet. The fireplace on the balcony is just great for bbq with an amazing view over the sea. In 5 Minutes you are able to reach Calheta and the beach. To find it first time is a little bit dificult but not a big deal. We felt really at home.

We had a great stay in front of the ocean. The house is as described and our host was lovely.

Lieu tranquille parfait pour repos après journée de marche. Endroit de départ parfait pour départ randonnées. Terrasse et vue sur la mer très tres agréable pour manger. Nous avons appreciez l accueil et la gentillesse de Catharina

Das Haus ist sehr zu empfehlen. Schön und hell eingerichtet mit einem grossartigen Ausblick auf das Meer, abends mit schönem Sonnenuntergang.

C'est vraiment un super endroit plein de charme et une vue magnifique sur la mer, repas magiques sur le balcon! Notre hôte nous a gentiment laissé des bananes de la plantation familiales, les meilleurs qu'on a mangé! La maison est très clean! Super fonctionnelle et bien fraiche. Pas un bruit si ce n'est ceux des poules et coq le matin mais cela donne un charme supplémentaires ^^ Le lit est confortable et il y a beaucoup de rangements. Prévoyez des produits de base si vous restez plusieurs jours pour faire a manger du type, liquide vaisselle, sel, condiments et aussi du papier toilette.

Casa Boughainvila is beautiful situated with magnificent views of the village of Arco de Calheta and the ocean. Andrea arranged we were awaited by Rosa, who gave us a warm welcome. The apartment is fully equipped and spacious and the spaces outside and near the pool are great. Since we were the very first tenants there were some things to improve, but Andrea and Rui helped us kindly. We had a lovely stay.

Séjour très agréable dans un logement propre et bien équipé. Merci à Rosa pour son aaccueil et sa gentillesse.
