Best on Madeira, if not the world at large.

A near four months of idyllic and restful stay in an incredible rich biotic plant and shrub diversified, swimming pool supported, large garden, and superb personally designed comfortable fully functional interior. Our very positive response here is founded on stays (visits) in excess of one month each in rentals and residences in 18 countries across the world, on a total of five continents.

Beautiful house, environment and host

We loved our stay at Cristina's amazing house. The location was beautiful, with a spotless kitchen, garden, pool and moreover gorgeous views of the ocean and Calheta. Cristina was above and beyond an incredible host. She was so generous with food, supporting us when our luggage was lost and overall a beautiful person.

Ferienhaus zum Wohlfühlen

Eine wunderbare Unterkunft in 400m Höhe (steile Anfahrt!!) mit Blick aufs Meer, viel Platz, einer riesigen möblierten und sonnigen Terrasse, mit einem wunderschönen Garten und beheiztem Pool. Wir wurden nett empfangen mit einem leckeren Fischgericht, ganz vielen Bananen und mit Ostersüßigkeiten verabschiedet. Die Ausstattung in Küche und Bad mehr als üppig! Das große Wohnzimmer gemütlich. Bei kühlen Außentemperaturen ist es im Haus allerdings sehr kalt. Einen großen Supermarkt und gute Restaurants gibt es nur in Calheta. Vielen Dank an Cristina, Dora und Tochter Beatrix.

Auch wir wurden mit einem hervorragenden 3-Gänge- Menü verwöhnt. Das Haus ist exakt wie im Inserat beschrieben. Wir wurden sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, aber immer die Privatsphäre beachtend, umsorgt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Ausgezeichneter Aufenthalt mit tollem Ausblick

Kurzum können wir die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Das Haus ist sehr ruhig und günstig für Ausflüge gelegen. Die Außenanlagen sind sehr schön angelegt und prima gepflegt. Das Haus selber ist stilvoll eingerichtet, geräumig und mit allen Alltagsgegenständen in großer Menge ausgestattet. Da wir im Februar da waren, hatten wir täglich den Kamin in Betrieb, da es verhältnismäßig kühl war. Ausreichend Feuerholz stand hierfür kostenfrei zur Verfügung.Zuletzt gilt unser Dank Cristina und Dora die sich um sämtliche Belange, Anfragen und Wünsche sofort gekümmert haben und sogar beim Anreisetag sowieso zwischendurch für uns gekocht haben. Das war wirklich eine gelungene Überraschung.Jederzeit wieder gerne!!

Wunderschöne Unterkunft

Es gibt nur ein Wort, grandios!!!! Noch nie hatten wir in einer Ferienunterkunft einen besseren Service wie hier. Und mehr als das. Wir wurden mit einem Dreigängemenü begrüßt. Das Haus war picobello, und wurde zwischendurch auch immer wieder gereinigt, Handtücher gewechselt etc. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Der Pool und die Aussicht auf den Atlantik grandios.Toll ist auch die Outdoorküche und die vielen schönen Ecken und die Terrasse zum chillen, so dass man gar nicht weiß wo man sich zuerst hinsetzen soll. Cristina ist sehr herzlich und eine hervorragende Gastgeberin. Vielen Dank für so einen schönen Aufenthalt, wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Wunderbar!

Cristina ist eine sehr sympathische Gastgeberin, der daran gelegen ist, dass es den Gästen an nichts fehlt. Wir kamen sehr spät an, doch Cristina holte uns gut gelaunt am vereinbarten Treffpunkt ab, lotste uns zum Haus und überraschte uns mit festlich gedecktem Tisch, selbst gekochtem 3-Gänge-Menü und stimmungsvollem Kerzenlicht überall. Ein wunderschöner Urlaubsauftakt. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt: zweimal pro Woche wurde geputzt und die Betten frisch bezogen. Alles ist sehr sauber, gemütlich und von der riesigen Terrasse hat man einen tollen Blick auf den Atlantik. Nochmals vielen Dank für alles, Cristina!!! Wir können jedem empfehlen, dort Urlaub zu machen.

Ein perfekter Urlaub in einer wunderschönen Unterkunft

We have from April 11th. until April 18, 2024 spent a vacation in Madeira in Cristina's beautiful house. We felt very comfortable there for two reasons: First: The house is 100% as shown in the pictures. Everything you need is in the house. The kitchen is fully equipped. The beds are super comfortable. What needs to be particularly emphasized is the cleanliness of the entire house. The geographical orientation of the house is perfect for a holiday, as you have sun in the garden, by the pool and on the terrace from around 9:30 in the morning until 8:00 p.m. The pool is heated as described. It almost goes without saying that the garden is also extremely beautiful and well-kept. The whole house has a great view of the village of Arco de Calheta and the sea, but what topped it all for us is the huge terrace. The view from here took our breath away. The terrace is equipped with a comfortable sofa, two sun loungers and a dining table for 4 people. There is an awning above the table to provide shade if needed. The second reason why we felt so comfortable is the host Cristina. As described in the other reviews, we were also greeted with a home-cooked meal. In between there was cake and chocolate. But from our point of view, it is particularly worth mentioning that Cristina is an incredibly nice, polite, empathetic and very kind person. Dear Cristina, thank you for this and also for everything else. Monika and Hans-Georg

Wir wären gerne für immer geblieben...

Als erstes möchte ich erwähnen welch eine tolle Gastgeberin Christina ist. So eine herzliche und freundliche Gastgeberin durften wir noch nie kennenlernen. Wir wurden mit einem sehr leckeren Abendessen empfangen ,es waren Getränke vorbereitet und Christina war immer sofort da wenn es Fragen gab. Das ist nicht selbstverständlich heutzutage. Vielen lieben Dank dafür Christina. Die Villa ist ein Traum. Man findet alles genauso vor wie auf den Bildern. Wenn nicht sogar besser. Der Ausblick auf das Meer und die Berge ist wunderbar. Der Garten ist ein Traum. Man merkt wieviel Herz und Liebe investiert wurde. Wir bekamen sogar eine Reinigung und kompletten Wäschewechsel obwohl wir nur 1 Woche Gäste waren. Christina , du verdienst mehr wie die 5 Sterne. Liebe Grüße aus Berlin. Christel,Frank,René und Dani

Herrliche Unterkunft auf der Blumeninsel

Ein fantastischer Urlaub liegt hinter uns. Madeira ist wunderschön, wenn man abwechslungsreiche Landschaften mag und gern in der Natur unterwegs ist. Die Krönung war diese tolle Unterkunft und die Wärme, mit der wir dort begrüßt und umsorgt wurden. Cristina ist eine Perle. Vielen Dank für die Nettigkeiten, den leckeren Kuchen und das selbstgemachte Eis. Nie wurden wir in einer Ferienwohnung herzlicher empfangen! Die Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet, sauber, großzügig und hat einen hübschen Garten sowie einen tollen Ausblick. Wir fühlten uns super wohl! Obrigada!

Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage in Cristina‘s Haus. Das Haus lässt keine Wünsche offen. Es ist sehr ruhig, ein schöner Ausblick über das Meer, der Pool ist sehr schön und groß, der Garten ist wunderschön. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht und sehr liebevoll gestaltet und geschmackvoll dekoriert. Es bleiben keine Wünsche offen.
