"A really enjoyable continental breakfast, friendly staff and clean. When we got the room I thought I'd booked, with double bed and sea views, I was delighted, the owner was very helpful"

"No problems, though be aware there is no reception of any sort. Parking is hit or miss, be prepared to park a few hundred metres away. One needs to be able to negotiate stairs (may be an issue to some)."

"The house exceeded my expectations; the pictures on the site do not do it justice. It is beautiful, with calm surroundings that provide a peaceful atmosphere.The place was immaculate, and Joana and her family made us feel welcome, as if we were part of their family. They were always ready to help, and I can't thank them enough. They definitely deserve a "Best Host" award!The kitchen is well-equipped and modern. I live in the United Kingdom and was initially worried about cooking. However, upon arriving at the property, I was blown away. It truly felt like a home away from home.What can I say about the location? It was peaceful and beautiful, surrounded by mountains, and the views were exceptional.Two large supermarkets are just a 10-minute walk away, and they are very affordable. I found delicious, budget-friendly food at Pingo Doce Canteen. I definitely recommend visiting if you’re like me and on a budget!The stunning beaches are only about a 15-minute walk away. There are two beaches to choose from. The people in the area are friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay. The location is a bit hilly, but Madeira is built on mountains, so you will get fit and lean during your holiday.Thank you, Joana, and please send my regards to your family! Mountains, I can assure you that you will get fit and lean by the time your holiday is over.Thank you, Joana, and please send my regards to your family!"

"Villa Bahari (named Villa Moniz on the house itself) is located on the windy side of Madeira with beautiful ocean views and easy access to PR8 hike along Ponta Sao Lourenco and water excursions departing from the Quinta do Lorde marina, like snorkeling in summer or whale watching in winter. The home is exceptionally large with almost too much living space to enjoy - would be great for a large party. Due to the wind, we were never able to enjoy the outdoor kitchen or dining area, and the firepit had no fuel and seemed to be a potential fire hazard due to the high wind and proximity to dry brush all around, so we avoided that. When we got to the villa, there was a terrible odor like smelled like sewage and mildew. We thought maybe it was due to dry water traps in the showers/sinks/toilets, so tried to go around and run the water for a few seconds in each room. But there was no water in the house. After multiple calls back and forth with property management, they were able to get someone to come out and get the water resumed on a Saturday evening, thank goodness. When we’re finally able to run water to all of the traps (along with opening all of the windows) we were hoping the smell would dissipate but it really never did. You become “nose blind” after a bit but as soon as you leave and come back, it’s still there. We cannot recommend this house for that reason. "
