About this property

The Garden of Paradise

  • In the last century, many prominent figures built “quintas” or “quintinhas” in the hills above the capital to relax or while away their time under the bougainvilleas. At the time, Madeira was a resort destination where the nobility came to recuperate. Empress Sisi stayed there, and the last emperor was buried there.<br> It is in one of these quintinhas that you can relax and enjoy the “Island of Flowers.”<br>We’re on an island, and with a little luck, you’ll be able to spot whales or dolphins (April through October) or, at the end of the year, witness the magical fireworks display—one of the largest in the world (6 km in diameter, 17 metric tonnes of explosives, 8,000 explosions in 8 minutes) (a tip: the best view is from a boat)<br>Villa in a park accessible by all types of vehicles.

Very Private, beautifully renovated

Great hosts helped us with car hire. The house and furniture was very clean and furnished to a very high standard. Fast wifi with Apple TV. Although not necessary I would recommend a car to stay here The only improvements was the outside paving area needs updating. Overall a great experience.

Tolles Haus mit schönem Garten in ruhiger Umgebung auf einer tollen Insel

Ein tolles großräumiges Haus in einem schönen Garten. Alles vorhanden was man zum Urlaubsaufenthalt braucht. Sehr nette Vermieter, die sich immer erkundigt haben ob wir zufrieden sind und noch irgendwas benötigen. Im Haus auch sehr viel Kartenmaterial in allen Sprachen vorrätig, da findet man jedes Ziel oder Anregungen. Das Haus befindet sich ca. 20 Minuten mit dem Auto vom Flughafen entfernt. Flugzeuglärm hört man absolut nicht. Im Gegenteil, das Haus befindet sich auf einer Anhöhe und liegt sehr ruhig. Riesiger Supermarkt in ca. 500 Meter Entfernung, da bekommt man alles. Nach Funchal mit Auto 15-20 Minuten. Sehr schöne Altstadt. Insgesamt ist Madeira natürlich ein Superziel zum Urlaub machen. Man kann ohne Ende wandern, baden oder viele andere Sachen erleben. Uns hat es jedenfalls sehr gefallen. Haus und Insel einfach empfehlenswert und Daumen hoch.

Schönes Haus mit Macken

Das Haus ist schön, jedoch sehr dunkel und kalt. Hochwertige Möbel und gute Küche. Bad mit freistehender Badewanne zwar originell, jedoch sehr unpraktisch, speziell nach Wanderung in der Wärme Mit dem Garten riesigen kann man nicht so viel anfangen. Besonders negativ war jedoch, dass jeden Tag sehr laute Musik bis nachts um 2 dröhnte und trotz geschlosser Fenster man nicht schlafen konnte.

OTTIMA ESPERIENZA, RELAX E CASA MERAVIGLIOSA

Ottima e inaspettata esperienza a Camacha. Stupenda villa tutta a disposizione, che mette a disposizione tutti i comfort. Zona molto tranquilla, molto fresca la sera. Il proprietario, Richard, e la moglie persone molto gentili e ospitali. Assolutamente consigliato.
