Wonderful Studio
Great stay from start to finish. Our host Sofia was very welcoming, giving some background about the local area and places to visit on arrival. The studio had everything we needed, immaculately clean and well located for exploring the island. Thank you for our lovely stay :)

Relax mit Meeresrauschen
Wir wurden supernett von Sophia empfangen. Das Apartment war top: auf der Rückseite eine schöne Terrasse mit Blick auf die Bananenplantage und auf der Vorderseite das Fenster zum Meer. Entspannen und super gut schlafen mit dem Rauschen des Meeres- einfach super! Der Ort Madalena do Sol ist sehr ruhig, weg vom Touristentrubel, den man sonst auf Madeira findet. Man erreicht aber leicht Supermärkte und es gibt auch eine breite Auswahl von wirklich empfehlenswerten Restaurants.Familie Gouveia sind tolle Gastgeber mit ausgezeichnetem Service. Wenn wir wiederkommen, weden wir sicher wieder hier übernachten.

Bananenfelder & Ozean: Ein Paradies!
Wir hatten einen absolut fantastischen Aufenthalt im Farol Studio in Madalena do Mar! Die Lage ist einfach traumhaft, direkt am Meer mit atemberaubenden Ausblicken. Die Wohnung selbst ist modern, stilvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Die Bilder im Internet haben uns bereits im Vorfeld einen guten Eindruck verschafft, und die Realität hat unsere Erwartungen sogar übertroffen. Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet, das Bett war sehr komfortabel und die Terrasse war unser persönliches Highlight – mit wundervollem Blick über die Bananenfelder und dem fantastischen Meerblick durch das Glasdachfenster, perfekt für entspannte Abende mit Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch wenn wir nur zwei Nächte dort waren, wir würden sehr gerne für längere Zeit wiederkommen! Wir können das Farol Studio uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
