It is a most charming, historic house with a fine ambiance in an authentic area of the island, surrounded by nature and close to the ocean. Waking up with the vast Atlantic and its coastline in your direct eyesight is just amazing.
The house is very well and up to date equiped, it has much more than you need for hollidays on such a beautiful island.
It was clean and comfortable.The coast on which the house is situated is rough and green, we found a nice, friendly & hip beach club within 200 m. of the house, to boat, to swim in natural pools, to read, to relax or have an authentic meal served with a smile. The island is not so big, but has much variety in climates, culture and nature.
By car it is easy to discover the rest of the island on excursions: to have a short or longer walk or climb and explore, make boating trips to spot whales & dolphins, visit Funchal, or beaches elsewhere. On a misty day you can find the sun within 20mins.
The bathing facilities in the house where very modern and comfortable.
The kitchen is also well equiped, the only thing we missed where the tea mugs, which we survived... (by pooring twice)
The outdoor fireplace was charming, as well as the private terrace, from which we gazed at the stars, listening to the waves of the ocean.
