Additional Info
Premises
Only the bottom floor of the house is accessible to guests and the top floor is vacant. Feel free to use the balcony on the top floor to get a better view.
Getting Around
The house is located in the country side where public transport is very limited. It's highly recommended that you have a car to get around. Below are some well-established car rental companies

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.
Insects
The house is surrounded by agricultural fields, so despite regular pest control, you may occasionally notice insects around the property. These are usually already dead due to the treatments. This is common across the island, especially in rural areas.
Rubish Disposal
Communal rubish and recycling bins are available near by. To get there you need to up the road and then turn right. It is still some distance away so it might be best to take the car.

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! ❤️
