What a fantastic stay!
The house is exactly as shown in the photos: atmospheric, spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything you need. The location is perfect for exploring the area around Funchal. An absolute must! We would also like to compliment the owners on this fantastic house!

We had a wonderful stay!
The house is beautifully cozy, very clean, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. We enjoyed unwinding on the garden terrace. Beds and mattresses very comfortable. Nice and quiet neighbourhood — only 15 minutes walk to the city centre. We will definitely come back. Thank you for making our stay in Funchal so enjoyable!

Top accommodation
First time in Madeira and the first guests in this lovely house. A great location within walking distance of the centre of charming Funchal and the bakery, surrounded by locals — a complete, spacious, tidy and cosy house, with a sunroom and garden! The sunroom was our favourite spot to unwind with a glass of wine after the fantastic trips and walks we made on this beautiful island. Highly recommended!

Great villa in perfect location
Clean, modern and with a nice private garden. Managed to bump into Rachelle outside the villa — she was very welcoming and friendly and gave us some useful tips around the island. Would love to come back and highly recommend this host!
