The villa was very nice and everyone of our group was very happy with the accommodation, which was exactly like we hoped, when looking at the pictures.
Pro:
- Amazing region. There is a nice sandy beach, many very good restaurants and a supermarket with a farmacia in very close proximity.
- Very spatious villa, which can easily fit 6 or even 7 people.
- Kitchenequipment: There is everything you need, even a big Fridge with an ice maker and a good grill outside.
Salt, Pepper and other spices are also provided.
- Incredible infinity pool with an amazing view.
- Very private. The villa is surrounded by palm trees, so nobody can watch the pool area.
- You can drive to Funchal in around 30 minutes, but there is lots to do in the area, so there often isnt a need to.
- There are lots of english and portuguese books and boardgames as well as bluetooth speekers provided.
Con:
- No air conditioning and mosquito nets, so you have to live with either sleeping in a hot environment or getting stung quite often.
- There are 3-4 cats, which like to come to the villa and sometimes also bring mice or little lizzards with them. They are quite friendly, but if you are afraid of free roaming cats or have an allergie this might be of interest to you. They will leave if you scare them away with water or something, but they will always come back.
- The interior was a bit old school for our taste and a few things need fixing, like a crack in the wall or some of the tiles outside.
