Two families from different parts of the world met in Madeira and we all enjoyed our stay and used the house as a base for exploring Madeira. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals; we even used the bbq. In April, the weather was still quite cool and we were grateful for the heated pool. The house looks just as in the pictures. We loved the new outdoor dining area and used it all the time. The small house was perfect for our teenage kids. We especially liked that the neighborhood is walkable. Yes, it is steep, but quite manageable. Just make sure to go to the bar uphill, so you can tumble down back to the house after a drink or two.
