Casas Serenas

in almost every regard it exceeded our expectations - highly recommended

Pros: it was a superb place for family with a 1yr old!! Emmanuel was a great host from the get-go, helping us even with tiny details (esp. for our baby), was there when we needed him but not around when we needed privacy. the property has again great details, with a great view and a nice, calm terrace to chill or roast. all in all, cannot say anything bad, it was a very pleasant stay overall.

Cons: cannot really point out anything, you need a car to get around, but that's true for this part of Madeira, regardless of the place.

The host Emmanuel and everyone around was extraordinary kind and helpful! Lovely place where you can enjoy the island at

Pros: The host Emmanuel and everyone around was extraordinary kind and helpful! Lovely place where you can enjoy the island at its best🥰👍🏼

Relaxing and almost tropical days with amazing seaview

Pros: We had the most wonderful time at Emmanuels Casas Serenas. The seaview and terrace are amazing and we spent relaxing days there. The house and kitchen offers everything you need for cooking and enjoying a nice barbecue. The garden is so beautiful! The kids especially loved the geckos and the second shower with the seaview. Emmanuel is a very friendly and helpful host with good tips for restaurants and trips. We will come back! Thanks for everything!

Peaceful Paradise in Madeira – A Truly Authentic Escape

Pros: We had a truly wonderful stay at Casas Serenas during our vacation in Madeira. The location is absolutely stunning – peaceful, surrounded by nature, and full of rustic charm. The garden has a magical atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Thanks to the fresh air and deep silence, we slept 10–11 hours every night – something that rarely happens to us! It was the perfect environment to fully recharge. Our host, Emmanuel, was amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and felt completely at home. His kindness and attention to detail made our stay even more special. We’re so grateful for everything and already planning to return. For anyone looking for an authentic Madeira experience, this is a hidden gem we wholeheartedly recommend!

Pros: The house is immersed in a garden full of variety and life (see pics). The house is equipped with everything needed to cook. Very comfortable bed and pillows. The philosophy is the respect of the nature and recycling. The terrace is enjoyable with the sun. We stayed in the second week of March, it was a period of intense raining. Since it was colder than usual Adelina provided us with electric heaters. I had an allergic reaction due to the fact that previous guests let probably cats to sit on the pillows of the chairs. But Adelina solved it immediately by organizing new deep cleaning and replacing the cushions and blankets. Very efficient! Adelina is always available for any problem. An excellent host.

Hawaii not so far away…

Pros: The house is wonderful! ♥️ Meticulously detailed, extremely clean, and equipped with every comfort. A stunning veranda that we enjoyed practically every evening. A barbecue for our quiet grill nights with an ocean view. The Jacuzzi for post-hiking relax was the cherry on top. Emmanuel is a very helpful host who made us feel right at home. Upon arrival, we found fresh eggs, excellent fruit, and a bottle of wine. We left a piece of heart at Casas Serenas🪷

Cons: Nothing. Everything perfect!

Seaview Apartment with the best host

Pros: We had the best time at Emmanuel’s Place in nature and stayed for 9 days. A unique, cosy Apartment with a great terrace, sea view and just a peaceful area. Also great location to explore the Island and enjoy some sun. Emmanuel was the perfect host, with loads of insider tips, a relaxed vibe and the apartment was perfectly equipped and with fruits, wine and fresh eggs were waiting for us. Big thank you also to Adelina. Highly recommend this place :)

One of the best places we have ever visited

Pros: The courtyard is a beautiful garden which reminds me of Costa Rica. The house is very private, with a beautiful view from the terrace. We loved the cat and geese companionship in the garden. The hosts were wonderful, they could not be more kind.

Pros: Wonderful location in a wonderful subtropical garden with amazing sea view. We stayed in Bonita, a lovely house, perfectly equipped with great taste. Very individual and very relaxing. Emmanuel, our host is very friendly, easy going and helpful. He offered us fruits from his garden and fresh eggs from his neighbor and it was always great to have a chat with him. Estreito do Calheita is nicely located, easy to get to the hiking areas of Rabacal and the llevadas there (25 sources, Risco waterfall), we also liked the bar Pukiki, just a 4 min walk from our house.

Cons: Nothing. All is fine!

Pros: Self catering. Garden, peaceful, private. Owner very helpful.

Cons: Countryside location, so better with a car.
