    STUNNING view overlooking the sheep, incredible value for money and extremly well equipped. Especially in terms of cooking appliances - every smeg product you could imagine is at your disposal. A little tricky to find the property since it is down a drive slightly hidden behind another property and maps is a little confusing in the area but not the hosts fault!

    This villa and the pool and terrasse was superb for our week in Madeira. It was a little tricky to find the first time but there were good instructions to follow. The house is both modern and very tidy and clean and the heated pool and warm aircon made it perfect for a lovely stay in february. We would love to stay here again ☀️
