Additional Info
Festivals and Night Life
With the excitement of this buzzing area comes a caveat - the vibrant little town doesn't always quiet down when the sun sets.
You may experience some noise during your stay, particularly on weekends or during local events/festivals.
These tend to happen mostly in the summer months.
We have tried to insulate the apartment as much as possible and although this is not a problem for the vast majority of guests, it can be more of an issue if you have light sleep or have young children who require absolute silence.
Premises
The apartment is on the first floor, but feel free to use the ground-floor patio at the back. This is also where you can find the laundry room.
Air Conditioning
You are welcome to use the air conditioning, but please keep the doors and windows closed to ensure
it works efficiently.
Before leaving the apartment, kindly switch off the air conditioning to help conserve energy and
protect the environment.
Water
It is generally safe to drink tap water in Madeira. The water supply is subject to quality
controls and meets European Union standards.
However, some people may prefer the taste of bottled water due to differences in mineral content or
the presence of chlorine, which is used in water treatment.
Rubish Disposal
Communal rubish and recycling bins are available near by. These are located at the end of the cobbled street below the apartment. Going out the front door, turn left and then left again it should see the bins 50 meters away.

Reviews
We added this note in September 2026 after many years of welcoming guests and receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback.
We're incredibly grateful for the amazing reviews we've received over the years. Occasionally, however, the written review describes a fantastic stay while the overall score doesn't quite reflect it. We've realised that the way Airbnb and Booking.com interpret their rating scales isn't always obvious, so we wanted to explain.
On Airbnb, 5 stars generally means you had a great stay — not that everything had to be absolutely perfect. Similarly, on Booking.com, 10 is the top score for a great stay. A 4-star Airbnb rating or an 8 or 9 on Booking.com may naturally feel like a very good score, but on these platforms it pulls a property's overall rating down.
It's also worth knowing that the overall rating is separate from the individual categories and is the score that matters most to our listing. We've occasionally received top marks in every category but a lower overall score, which unfortunately still brings our overall rating down.
Reviews genuinely mean a lot to us. Our cleaning team regularly checks them too, and positive feedback is a great recognition of their hard work.
If something isn't quite right, please message us during your stay so we have the opportunity to fix it while you're here.
And if you genuinely had a great time, please don't be afraid to give us the top score! ❤️
