Casal de S. Joao / Faja de Ovelha
I have mixed feelings about our stay at Joao's place. We were a bit disappointed to find the state of the place; we emailed the landlord but he did not respond until Vrbo contacted him. Positive: - location: the view over the ocean is spectacular! - silence: it is a quiet area, only residential. aside from a couple of dogs once in a while, there is no outside noise - sleep quality: the (hard) mattresses worked a charm and we slept really well - good fun with the table tennis in the common area - (did not use) you can sun yourself in the garden or on the terrace, and BBQ Negative: - extra "flatmates": with the sub-tropical humid weather, there's a lot of plants and life around. Inside, right from the first day, we found a cockroach (alive and upside down). When the rain poured, it was an invasion of millipedes. And for the 2 last nights, we saw a mouse (coming from behind the sink) that we weren't able to lure out, as well as another upside down cockroach - the whole property feels like it is abandoned: mold on the walls (bedroom, bathroom); various objects are broken (railings, handles); the common room is dusty - the towels and some pillow cases were stained with burnt and blood marks Neutral: - internet: there is a ZTE modem in the common living room, but no signal in the appartment - bare minimum: soap, washing up liquid, sponge, toilet paper, plates, cutlery - stagnant water ponds outside: frogs and mosquitoes, keep your windows closed at night.

Original Madeira stay
Nice place, nice views, from my perspective Original Madeira, great atmosphere of old Madeira village. On the another hand the cleanliness could be better, there were missing also the hot water on the accomodation. But we enjoyed it.

Warning
Nous avons réservé pour 2 semaines. Nous sommes arrivés dans le logement, la salle de bain n’avait pas de tuyau ni pommeau de douche, l’eau était juste tiède. Nous avons appelé le propriétaire pour trouver une solution, il a voulu nous mettre dans un autre logement mais celui ci n’était pas fonctionnel car il y avait un problème de chauffe eau. Nous sommes donc allé dans un 3eme logement, dont la propreté laisser à désirer. Dans ce logement nous avons cohabité avec des cafards et des rats qui faisait des bruits toute la nuit. Après une semaine passé dans le logement nous avons demandé à nous faire rembourser la deuxième semaine réserver et avons quitter les lieux. Je ne recommande absolument pas ce logement malgré qu’il soit bien situé et que l’endroit soit calme.

Furchtbar! Auf keinen Fall dorthin gehen!
Es ist modrig, kalt, alt, es riecht eklig. Die Wände haben Risse und Flecken (man weiß nicht ob es Schimmel ist). Das Bett ist alt, unbequem, man möchte nichts anfassen, die Wolldecken sind alt und ranzig. Das Bad ist extrem alt, die Dusche ist ein Witz! Es gibt kein warmes Wasser, der Kühlschrank ist so laut, dass man nicht schlafen kann. Es gibt kein Wlan! Angeblich gibt es Internet im Gemeinschaftsraum, aber auch das hat nicht funktioniert! Der Check-In war total unorganisiert, keine Nachricht, keine Infos nix. Erst nachdem ich mehrmals nachgehakt hatte, bekam ich die Info wie es funktionieren soll. Dann sind wir vor Ort und uns wird mitgeteilt, dass der Check-In anstatt 16 Uhr, erst um 18 Uhr möglich ist! Auf eine Nachricht, dass wir nicht bleiben können, wir waren beide einfach nur fertig nach der einen Nacht. Hat sich der „Gastgeber“ nie wieder gemeldet! Wir haben beide schon in Hostels geschlafen und sind nicht überkritisch, aber das war echt unmöglich! Auf keinen Fall dort buchen!! Achso die Bilder entsprechen überhaupt nicht der Realität, totale Verarsche!

The location is a bit hard to reach
The position of the flat is a bit hard to reach without a rental car. Busstops/supermarket/bakery are quite far when walking. Also the roads are very steep so it's exhausting too. But if you enjoy a quiet place with a marvellous view and have a rental car, this place is actually very nice.

Wildromantisch
Die Unterkunft liegt in einem kleinen steil abfallenden Dorf hoch über dem Atlantik. Es ist dort unglaublich ruhig und reichlich Platz für ca, 8 Menschen. Das Zimmer im ersten Stock verfügt über ein großes Bett, Kästen, ein Bad und eine Küche...essen kann man auf einer der 2 Terrassen - Grillplatz und Hängematte sind auch vorhanden. Maria, die in ihrem Haus gleich dahinter lebt, ist stets helfend zur Stelle. Wer Urlaub fern ab vom Tourismus mag und sich mit einem kleinen Lebensmittelladen begnügt, ist dort richtig!
