Another enthusiastic review of this lovely property, which is exactly as described and depicted. It really is a very well restored, robust old building, equipped with everything you need and with everything functioning, no leaky showers, dubious drainage or lack of hot water! Another bonus is the efficient washing machine. Communication with the owner was excellent, even ‘out of hours’ when our flight was delayed and we arrived after midnight. The maps, guides, local information and restaurant recommendations provided by the owner were very useful. The internet is fast. Having online maps is invaluable to show any current closures of roads or walking routes, usually because of fallen rocks. The temperature is markedly lower at the property than at the coast. If the house is chilly, the wood-burning stove warms the place well. There are also plug-in radiators, which do a good job but are not as charming. Our stay was in January, and although we sometimes lit the stove in the late evening, the early evenings saw us sitting outside (in T shirts) on the top terrace, enjoying a glass of local wine, watching the sun set, and admiring all the exotic plants and flowers. A wonderful, house, location and holiday.

Erholsamer Urlaub
Wir hatten am Anfang unseres Urlaubs Pech, denn es brande an vielen Stellen. Dadurch konnten wir die oben gelegenen Straßen nicht befahren. Das Häuschen war sauber und gut eingerichtet. Für Leute die Aktion wollen, sind hier falsch, denn die Lage ist sehr einsam. Wir überlegen wieder zu kommen. Ingrid und Bernd

Danke für einen schönen Urlaub
Der Aufenthalt war sehr schön, super Lage für viele Ausflüge. Wer ein komfortables Bett möchte, sollte sich was anderes suchen! Das Mobiliar ist etwas unbequem. Alles andere war Okay (sorry sind halt schon in einem Alter wo es manchmal zwickt und schmerzt).

Why they chose this property

I bought this piece of land with two old stone buildings that had been abandoned for twenty years, because of the rural location and lovely sea views.

The beauty of the island, the climate and the friendliness and generosity of the Madeiran people make this a perfect destination.

What makes this property unique

Well located for exploring the island.
The Levada Nova can be accessed on foot from the house, and other popular levadas are easily accessible by car.
