awesome gateway
We love staying at Filomena's Stone houses. Filomena is a great host, receive us with great warm and sympathy. The house is beautiful and surroundings amazing. Is perfect for a weekend gateway or if you can stay, enjoy a couple of days emerged in the lovely Madeira Nature. To those who appreciate, the bed is fabulous. Super comfortable. Filomena's Courtesy provide us basic food supplies, which is great if you don't feel to go out to diner. I absolute recommend, Stone Houses and we will try to came back to enjoy a longer stay. Thank you for everything Filomena.

Great stay at Casa Camelia
We had a pleasant stay at Casa Camelia. As we had to wait for our Covid test result, Filomena provided some food for us which we highly appreciated. Every day there has been bread, juice, milk, cheese and a daily cleaning. The little house is surrounded by great nature. Its close to Funchal and the airport. We recommend this place to stay at when you are in Madeira.

Super!!
Het huisje ligt op een mooie rustige locatie 15 min van het centrum van Funchal. Het is een zeer net en mooi huisje van alle gemakken voorzien. Het wordt elke dag schoongemaakt door het vriendelijke personeel. Tevens wordt er elke dag ontbijt verzorgd waar niets aan ontbreekt. De eigenaren zijn daarbij ook nog zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

A wonderful week in a beautiful landscape
We had a wonderful time in this location. The house was so cute with a lot of lovely details. Every morning we got a breakfast (that was very kind) und we loved sitting on the terrace and looking to the beautiful landscape. The place is great to take tours on the East side of Madeira (the Pico Ariero is not far). Also it was great to have a levada next to the house so you can go jogging and walking. The hosts (Filomena and Pedro) were so friendly and have some really good recommendations for us. We would love to come back sometime (perhaps in winter or spring).

Schönes kleines Ferienhaus mit tollem Service
Liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus, in dem es uns an nichts fehlte. Inkludiert ist ein täglicher Service, der Putzen/ Betten machen und Lebensmittel auffüllen (Wasser, Saft, Milch, Wurst, Käse, Marmelade, Kaffee (Nespresso) und Obst) beinhaltete. Auf Wunsch gab es zudem abends frische Brötchen für den nächsten Tag. Täglich wurde Holz für den Kaminofen nachgelegt und der Ofen gereinigt. Die Besitzer standen hilfsbereit mit Tips zum Essen gehen zur Verfügung. Auch die Lage des Hauses war vorteilhaft, da vieles zeitnah mit dem Auto zu erreichen war. Insgesamt also: sehr empfehlenswert!

Totally advisable!
We're a young swiss couple and spent three nights of our Honeymoon in this lovely house. We had a blast in this amazing environment and can only recommend this place! Breakfast is fresh everyday, the kitchen is clean and can be handy. We were a little worried before our stay because it says it was allowed to smoke inside the house and we're both non-smokers. Fortunately, this is not a problem at all and the house smells fresh and clean. We would definitely go back and recommend this house! Thank you!

wunderschöne Unterkunft - besser geht es nicht
Ein Haus wie aus dem Bilderbuch - perfekt gepflegt, mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet und einem "Rundum-Sorglos-Service", da steckt ganz viel Herz drin! Herrlich ruhig gelegen und dennoch optimal an die wichtigen Ost-West und Nord-Süd- Achsen angebunden, man kann problemlos die ganze Insel erkunden wenn man das möchte. Der Service war großartig, Bettwäsche und Handtücher immer frisch, stets alles blitzesauber und der Kühlschrank wurde immer wieder mit Milch, Saft, Eiern, Käse und Wurst, Marmelade, Butter und Obst aufgefüllt. Brot in allen Varianten gab es jeden morgen frisch, dazu Teeauswahl und Kaffee, stets frische Blumen und kleine Überraschungen - ein Traum! Wirklich wärmstens zu empfehlen!

Sehr schönes Haus
Wir verbrachten unseren ersten Madeira Urlaub in diesem wunderschönen Haus. Es ist gut ausgestattet und man findet alles was man braucht. Auch der Frühstücksservice war super und die Brötchenauswahl sehr abwechslungsreich und lecker. Wir waren froh ein so schönes Appartment gefunden zu haben, was abseits des ganzen Touristentrubels und mitten in einer wunderschönen, ruhigen und grünen Umgebung liegt. An dieser Stelle noch einem vielen Dank an die Vermieter und das Hauspersonal! Wir haben einen sehr schönen Urlaub bei euch verbracht.

Erholsamer Urlaub im Azalea- Haus
Meine Frau und ich (Paar 60+) waren vom 11. bis 22.11.2016 im Azalea- Haus. Der Aufenthalt war eine pure Freude den wir nie vergessen werden. Abends wenn wir von unseren Touren zurück kammen, hing eine Tasche mit Brötchen an der Tür. Das Obst und der Inhalt vom Kühlschrank wurden Täglich ergänzt. Das Haus wurde Täglich gereinigt. Handtücher u. Bettwäsche wurden regelmäßig getauscht. Wir haben jede Minute des Aufenthals genossen. Das Haus liegt abseits vom Trubel an einem Berghang und es ist sehr ruhig. Auf dem Grundstück befindet sich eine hochsensible Alarmanlage. 2 Hunde, welche einen perfekten Job machen. Unbemerkt kommt da keiner rein. Das Grundstück ist Top gepflegt und mit Streuchern und Bäumen bewachsen. Alles in allem hatten wir einen sehr schönen Urlaub ohne die Zwänge eines Hotel Aufenthalts. Wir würden das Haus jederzeit wieder buchen. Eva u. Wolfgang aus Schleswig Holstein
