Casa da Olides - T3

Great place in the North of Madeira. Perfect for the hikes around.

Pros: The location was perfect for us as we wanted something in the North. It could be a bit closer to the center for us it was perfect, with a little supermarket up the road (2 min walking). The host is amazing, so nice, everything was perfect in place, clean and they offered some welcome cookies. The house is really comfortable and well prepared, specially for the 2 kids we had with us.

Cons: It was a bit cold when we arrived but we switch the heating and it worked perfectly, so nothing really we did not like.

Would stay again 100%

Pros: Very accommodating host, all the baby/toddler equipment we needed. Even bought a potty for our toddler when we asked if they had one.

Pros: The house was super spacious and comfortable, the location is ideal for hiking and also only 20 minutes from Funchal airport. Our host was very informative and friendly!

Wonderfully comfortable house for exploring the beautiful island of Madeira

Pros: Our hostess Sandra and her mother were very welcoming, and we very much appreciated the homemade biscuits and madeira wine and fruit when we arrived and the traditional cake to take home with us. The house itself was beautifully decorated, the bedrooms in particular with their very comfortable beds, and we loved all the extra cushions, cozy blankets for the sofa and the generous supply of towels in the bathroom.

Cons: We stayed over Christmas and, although the weather was wonderfully sunny, the temperatures were under 20 and much cooler at night so we felt the heating in the house sometimes struggled to reach a comfortable level especially in the mornings in the kitchen where there was no heating. It might be helpful to add a small heater there in the winter.

A clean, comfy apartment on the edge of Santana

Pros: The apartment itself (not truly a villa as it occupies only the ground floor of a 2 storey house) was comfortable, clean and reasonably spacious - served our needs very well. It has 2 very comfy bedrooms (1 double 1 twin) plus a slightly smaller darker single bedroom, a decent shared bathroom with tub and overhead shower, a functional kitchen, and a tastefully decorated sitting room. Sandra - who we did not meet - was a very quick and efficient communicator.

Cons: The location did not really appeal to me personally, set among scattered houses and fields on the edge of Santana (which like most Madeiran villages is very widely dispersed), meaning we had to drive 5-10 mins to dinner and shops (apart from a small minimart 5 mins walk away). The kitchen opens onto a runaround balcony which would have been nice to use, but there was a sign on the door to the balcony saying to only use in an emergency, presumably because it is the access route for the upstairs apartment. So the only outside sitting space was the front veranda.

It was a very pleasant stay.

Pros: It is a nice, clean and well-kept house at a walking distance from Santana. The owner was extremely friendly and responsive. At our arrival we were welcomed with a bottle of Madeira wine and traditional cookies.

Cons: The place has a veranda, but it is a bit too small for having lunch or dinner outside.

Pros: Krásný, nový, čistý apartmán. Jako přivítání nám hostitel připravil láhev madeirského vína, domácí sušenky, banány, pomeranče. V lednici byla dokonce balená voda a mléko. Užasné!

Pros: Maison très propre Photo en adéquation avec la maison Offres de bienvenue ( Gâteaux maison Madère ) Propriétaire très à l'écoute

Pros: Maison impeccable et l’hôtesse, Sandra est très pro-active.

Pros: Très jolie petite maison, bien situé à proximité du village de santana
