The property was fine but the location had issues. It was 1 block away from a church with loud bells that rang on the hour (except for nighttime) plus other times that seemed like it might have been a bell-ringer in training??? One evening we were unable to return to the property due to a church event where police had blocked off entry to the entire area. Due to a huge turnout, there was no parking available within walking distance of the property so we spent the evening in nearby Santa Cruz. Had we been warned, we would not have left the property that day. I thought cleanliness was OK but my 2 female friends freaked out over the huge cockroaches so I promised I'd mention it. I suggest you make sure you have the correct number of guests when making a reservation. Our guest count increased from 2 to 3 when a Portuguese-speaking friend agreed to join us. I was advised in advance that this would cause the price to increase by 20 euros/day which was requested in cash or bank transfer outside of VRBO. This didn't sound right so I checked with VRBO who said they don't allow payment directly to the owner. The owner then submitted the charge to VRBO and I paid VRBO using my credit card (instead of cash to the owner). This was the only reservation that increased the price due to the additional person (we stayed in 3 different properties during our Portugal trip). The other 2 property owners graciously said there was no change in price for the additional person. ##### Richard D.

It’s close to everything - the beach, restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets. There was enough room for 3 families. The house was so clean and had enough supplies for our holidays. The best part though was Dina, the house manager, who was so kind and welcoming. She was always available to answer question organize taxis for us. If you want a newly renovated home in a great location, this is the place to stay. ##### Bonnie C.

She was very helpful when we needed her. The house is really nice, modern and spacious. Very central in Machico city surrounded with everything u need at your door step. The beach is a small walk from the house and u have a choice of pebble beach or sandy beach.The bakery just outside the house in the building is a must to get fresh cooked bread and Portuguese cakes. We looked forward to have breakfast every day because of tha bakery. There is plenty of space in the house and having 3 toilets was really good. I highly recomend this house for anyone that wants to be in the heart of Machico. Dina was an amazing host to us. She will definitely make sure you have a pleasant stay at Grannies House. ##### Elvi d.
