Wow! Clean, profoundly beautiful, quiet, efficient, fun! What a great experience!!! Thank you Filomena!!! -Mark ##### Mark ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanja V. 26 Aug 2018 #### Wunderschön! Wir haben 2 wunderschöne Wochen im Haus Azalea verbracht. Alles war bestens. Der Service (Reinigung und Frühstück) waren einwandfrei. Filomena und ihr Personal sind sehr herzlich und jederzeit für einen da. Der Garten, in dem sich die Häuser befinden, ist sehr gepflegt. Die Nähe zu Funchal (10 Minuten mit dem Auto) sehr praktisch. Wir werden gerne wiederkommen. Nochmals vielen Dank für alles! ##### Tanja V. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elmar S. 10 Aug 2018 #### Natur pur und ganz viel Herzlichkeit Die eine Woche im Naturstein-Cottage in der Ruhe und Frische des Paradies-Tals (Val paraiso) war ein echter Traum. Wir kannten die Küsten von Madeira durch 4 vorherige Aufenthalte. Die waldigen Hänge haben uns jedoch noch mehr aufgetankt. Das Anwesen ist eingebettet in üppiges Grün. Der Hausherr liebt Rhododendron und Azaleen und pflegt sie mit großer Sorgfalt. Ähnlich gepflegt sind die Gebäude, hochwertig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Naturmaterialien haben mir besonders gefallen. Doch auch technisch war das Cottage sehr gut bestückt. Wir haben oft gekocht, aber auch die leckeren Brötchen und die täglich frische Frühstücksausstattung unter Glaskuppel genossen. Die Gastgeber waren äußerst herzlich und hilfsbereit und auch das Personal sehr freundlich und genau. Ein Fahrzeug braucht man - wir hatten einen Motorroller und waren damit in 10 min. unten in Garajau. Somit war die Lage für uns ideal. Die Haus-Levada war für uns wie ein Geheimtipp - nach den vielen Wanderungen, die wir schon auf Madeira unternommen haben, hat uns die Urtümlichkeit der gleich am Grundstück entlang laufenden Levada wirklich überrascht. Man sollte jedoch auf die drei Hunde des Hauses eingestellt sein. Der Schäferhund ist schon recht beeindruckend. Auf jeden Fall bei den Besitzern sofort zu Beginn ansprechen, wenn man sich beklommen fühlt. Hinter seiner Wachhundattitüde ist er gutmütig, aber man ist schon erleichtert, wenn das Personal ihn in Obhut nimmt, während man das Grundstück quert auf dem Weg zum Parkplatz. Nachts ist er ohnehin in seiner Kammer. Sie könnte eventuell überraschen, dass diesen Kommentar ein 50-jähriger Vater geschrieben hat, der mit seinem 19-jährigen Sohn in dem Cottage war. Probieren Sie es aus, wenn Sie Stille und Natur lieben. ##### Elmar S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lothar L. 13 Jan 2018 #### Haben hier eine wunderbare Woche verbracht.

The cottage is gorgeous, very well presented and exactly as shown in the pictures. Filomena, and everyone at Casa De Pedra, were delightful and excellent hosts. An absolutely perfect honeymoon. Thank you! ##### John W. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrin M. 29 May 2017 #### Wundervoll! Die Ferienwohnung ist klein, aber fein und liegt inmitten eines idyllischen Gartens. Der Service ist grossartig; jeden Tag wird die Wohnung aufgeräumt und geputzt und der Kühlschrank fürs Frühstück frisch gefüllt. Die Gastgeberfamilie ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen! ##### Katrin M. Stayed 9 nights in May 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander P. 17 May 2017 #### Die schönste Unterkunft, die wir je hatten Die Unterkunft war die schönste Unterkunft, in der wir bisher unseren Urlaub verbringen durften. Alle Räume waren sehr gepflegt und sauber. Der Ofen im Schlafzimmer hat jeden Abend eine gemütliche Stimmung gezaubert und eine angenehme Wärme verbreitet. Der Blick vom Frühstückstisch und der Terrasse auf das Meer und den Garten einfach nur atemberaubend. Jeden Tag wurden frische Schnittblumen in Vasen aufgestellt und für das tägliche Frühstück wurde der Kühlschrank gefüllt. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Garten, in dem das Haus liegt, ist schöner, als die Botanischen Gärten in Funschal und ist schon eine Reise wert. Wir würden jeder Zeit sehr gerne wieder kommen. ##### Alexander P. Stayed 14 nights in Apr 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria M. 16 Mar 2017 #### Amazing!! This place is a gem! We were only here for a short stay of four nights and we could easily have stayed another week - or longer. The little cottage is unbelievably comfortable and has everything you might wish for: a large bathroom, a comfortable bed, a very well equipped kitchen and very authentic and nice interior. The garden is simply beautiful and you can enjoy it from your own terrace. The place is super clean (and I am very picky). Filomena is an amazing host and made our stay exceptional on every level. There was fresh bread (selected to suit our taste) every day, fresh fruits, a bottle of madeira wine and little treats ... we felt spoilt. We are already making plans to come back to Madeira and we will make sure to book Filomena's cute cottage again. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Maria M.

Gerne wieder! ##### Reto S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bernd F. 22 Mar 2016 #### Wunderschönes Haus in ruhiger Umgebung Die Zufahrt ist steil und schmal, aber da fast nicht befahren unproblematisch! Dann erwartet einen ein gepflegtes parkähnliches Grundstück. Im oberen Bereich des Grundstückes befinden sich zwei kleine Häuser die vermietet werden. Aufgrund des vielen Grüns und des Abstandes zwischen den Häusern bekommt man aber nicht wirklich etwas von seinen Nachbarn mit. Das Haus ist top-gepflegt und super sauber. Alles notwendige ist vorhanden. Die freundliche Laura ist die gute Seele der Anlage, sie kümmert sich um alles damit es an nichts fehlt. Wir waren immer erstaunt, wie perfekt sie alles im Griff hat und uns immer reichlich mit frischem Obst versorgte. Die Eigentümer Filomena und Pedro sind ebenfalls sehr freundlich und genauso sehr um das Wohlergehen der Gäste bemüht. Camacha mit Supermarkt ist schnell zu erreichen. Ein Mietwagen ist aber dennoch grundsätzlich zu empfehlen. Wer Ruhe liebt, kann hier nichts verkehrt machen. Herzlichen Dank noch einmal für den schönen Urlaub! ##### Bernd F. Stayed 12 nights in Feb 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Severin S. 19 Aug 2015 #### Wunderschöne Ferienhütte Meine Frau und ich haben bei Filomena und Pedro zwei wunderschöne Wochen verbracht, die unsere Erwartungen noch übertroffen haben. Die Hütte, in der wir völlig ungestört waren, liegt pittoresk in den Bergen Madeiras in einem Tal bei Camacha und ist umgeben von einem wundervollen Garten. Die Hütte ist wunderschön und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Es fehlte uns an nichts! An einer Küchenzeile lassen sich einfache Mahlzeiten kochen, eine Klimaanlage und ein kleiner Kamin stehen zur Verfügung. Eine Terrasse bietet einen herrlichen Ausblick auf den umliegenden Wald und sogar das Meer ist zu sehen. Jeden Tag wurde geputzt und der Kühlschrank wurde mit allem befüllt, was wir für das Frühstück brauchten. Zudem erhielten wir frische Handtücher, Bettwäsche und Shampoo. Wir hatten das Gefühl, dass man sich ganz besonders um uns bemüht hat. In dieser Hütte kann man "die Seele baumeln lassen" und fern ab von allem Tage auf der sonnigen Terrasse verbringen oder man nutzt sie als Ausgangspunkt für einen Aktivurlaub, da sich mit Mietwagen von hier aus alle Ziele leicht erreichen lassen. Doch auch zu Fuß lässt sich die Umgebung erkunden. Eine Wanderroute verläuft direkt hinter dem Haus, das freundliche Örtchen Camacha lädt Touristen ein und ein Einkaufszentrum liegt nur einige Minuten weit entfernt. Ein toller Urlaub in einem phantastischen kleinen Häuschen! ##### Severin S. ---
