"We stayed for 10 days in the property as a base to explore Madeira. The property was perfect for all 5 of us, lots of space, well equipped and immaculate. Anna is the host and is the loveliest person. She had baked us xakes for our arrival and supplied us with extra beach towels when needed. She also provided basic food and fruit., lots of advice about the area including a local farmers market we would never have known about. We loved our stay and visited most of the island. I would highly...

"The apartment was clean and in a very good position for getting around the island. It would have been helpful to have a few more details about the property e.g Wi-Fi code and the crockery and cutlery could have been a little more extensive . Nice undercover seating area where we were able to eat our meals and enjoy the lovely weather . The road is very steep !!"

"The night before I booked the Vrbo as I was flying in from the United States and needed a place to stay for one night before going to the resort. I’m less the 8 hours I found out my plane reservation got switched. I email and asked if I could get at least a portion of my money back and he said no. Eight hours before he had no one, so it wasn’t like I blocked others from coming. I just felt he was rude and not at all flexible."

"Das Haus ist groß und wunderschön. Guter Grillplatz. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Für so ein großes Haus ist zu aber wenig Geschirr vorhanden. Einige Türen schließen nicht richtig und bei Wind schlagen sie dauerd gegen den Rahmen. ( vor allem Nachts nervig) Die Spülmaschine funktionierte nicht richtig. Eine Dusche wurde nur mit Klebeband repariert. Würden das Haus aber trotzdem wieder mieten."

"My family and I went to this villa for my children’s spring holiday and it was a disappointing experience. We arrived at the villa at the correct time, but were still made to wait for an hour and a half, because the property manager was late. This would not have been as great of an issue if the manager had communicated with me beforehand about her tardiness. We also tried to contact the VRBO through which the booking was made, but they tried to shrug off their responsibility by saying that they...

First bedroom shower downstairs was stopped up and the pan filled with water. The other 2 bedroom showers leaked and flooded the bathroom floors. A little repair would make a big difference."
