Casa Serena Apartments

Perfect holiday

Pros: The apartmemt is very clean and has everything you need also in the kitchen. Its big sunny and has amazing views. The bed is also comfortable.

Pros: We had a very pleasant stay in the Captain's View apartment - our second time there. The view from the terrace is lovely with plenty of space for eating and sitting. The apartment is well equipped, clean and spacious. Great shower. Very comfortable large bed. Nice restaurants and boat trips in Calheta a short drive away. Parking on the road outside. Helen and Chris live above and messaged us to get in touch if we needed anything. We love Casa Serena.

Cons: You do need a car as there's not much within walking distance. There's some building work going on in the area, so some background noise, but probably the case all over Madeira.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Pros: This very clean and spacious apartment was provided with everything that guests could need and had the most fantastic view

Overall a great apartment in a good location. Enjoyed the fantastic views. Sadly noise from construction work made this

Pros: Stunning view. Well appointed. Good instructions from owners.

Cons: There is a huge amount of building construction ongoing in this area including directly below the property. Most works started at around 8am and finished between 5pm and 6pm accompanied by the noise of cement mixers, excavation diggers etc. Although we were out most of the daytime when we were in the apartment during those hours noise was intrusive. Although this is out of the hands of the property owners perhaps a caveat could be given to renters.

Pros: Fabulous apartment in a stunning and convenient location. Easy access to nearby trails and sites. Supermarket 8min away and local quiet bars within easy walking distance (our favourite for pre and postcode hike refreshments was Bar Africano). Hosts, Helen & Chris, are superb: providing thoughtful welcome gifts and lots of little extras that make Casa Serena a geuine home from home. They discretely on hand if you need them, quick to reply to any messages and available for support if needed. We absolutely loved our stay, so much so we booked again for next year on day 1 of our trip. The facilities are excellent and the views from the balcony means every day starts with a real feel good factor. Thank you Helen & Chris.

Cons: Nothing, other than having to leave!

Lovely scenic spacious apartment, great hosts and excellent vfm

Pros: Amazing large apartment with massive balcony with stunning views. Very comfortable large bed, massive bedroom with excellent hanging and storage space, well equipped and comfortable living and kitchen area, fresh wild mint growing in the garden so lovely for fresh mint tea throughout the day! Hosts were welcoming and helpful. Clear instructions for accessing the apartment. Excellent value for money for large hillside apartment with amazing views.

Cons: It was an excessively hot week and there is no air con in the apartment and while Helen did provide a fan it didn’t really work and so there was little respite from the heat. The apartment is located on a steep road (the whole island is very hilly!) and parking was on the roadside alongside the apartment and then the apartment is accessed thru a gate and a steep incline down to the steep steps down to the apartment door. It was good exercise (!) but not easy with heavy cases and it definitely wouldn’t be good for anyone with mobility issues.

Beautiful apartment

Pros: The apartment was espectacular. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and hosts were amazing. Everything was extremely clean. They even left a book with recommendations and places to visit. 100% would repeat.

Pros: Our stay at the hotel was unforgettable. Helen and Chris have created a truly heavenly place with fantastic ocean views. Everything was perfect and fully met our expectations. We highly recommend.

Exceptional apartment.

Pros: - modern and hygienic bathroom - comfy bed - stunning views - cosy living room equipped with great quality BT speaker

Cons: To be honest, I liked everything.

Relaxing stay with breathtaking view!

Pros: We loved our stay at Casa Serena. The apartment is spacious, clean and well maintained. We were welcomed with fruits and a bottle of wine. Helena is very friendly and helpful. We loved the view from the terrace where we enjoyed our meals. We would love to come back!
