Bed Bugs,
After staying here for three nights after the first night I woke up with a little rash, thinking it really was nothing. After the second night. He continued to stay pretty much the same on the third day. I woke up with a rash pretty much throughout every part of my body that was not covered by clothing after you’re getting two opinions from professional pharmacist who confirmed bed bug bites after trying to reach out to the property. I have gotten no response.
A wonderful place!!! Views are out f this world !! Shared kitchen has everything you could ever need and is spotless!! The patio area is a wonderful place to chill
Charming villa well located within minutes of the town. You do need a car to get there and parking on the street is easy. Rooms were comfortable and shared bathrooms were cleaned often. Great renovated kitchen with large balcony attached. The host is welcoming and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay there.
This is an amazing place to go for a relaxing getaway! The host was so amazing and the place was incredibly clean. It is about a 30 minute walk from town so you will get your steps in if you do not bring a car.
I will definitely be coming back here next time I am in Madeira!
Excellent stay with Joaquim and co whom are very welcoming. The room and property are kept clean and tidy. There are fantastic views of the surrounding area of Sao Vicente from the property as well. I would be more then happy to stay here again. Approx 10 min walk to the local cafes. 30 min walk to Sao Vicente town/waterfront, and approx 40 mins walk back due to the incline. It is an ideal location if you have a rental car! X
Gutes, perfekt ausgestattetes Hostel mit freundlichem Betreiber ca. 2,5km oberhalb des Ortskerns. Schöner Garten mit Whirlpool! Gute Parkmöglichkeiten, Fahrzeug allerdings angeraten. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
