Maison froide, humide et très sombre.
À notre arrivée, une femme qui je pense est la femme de ménage nous a donné la clé. Pas d'explication, à peine bonjour, pas de contact avec l'hôte. Nous avons trouvé une maison froide humide et très sombre. La cuisine n'a qu'une lumière et de fait n'éclaire pas la plaque de cuisson.
Nous avons signalé ce problème mais personne n'est venu. Vis à vis avec ce qui semble être les propriétaires, voitures dans la cour n'aidant pas à la manœuvre, pas de VMC permettant d'évacuer l'humidité... Bref, c'est peut-être une maison pour l'été mais pas en mars.
La photo sur le site est trompeuse car nous étions entouré d'autres habitations mais en aucun cas au milieu de 2900 mètres carrés de terrain..
Sur l'annonce il est précisé que l'hôte parle Français mais ce n'est pas le cas.

Ein wahres Refugium in beschaulicher Umgebung
Dieses Haus ist ein idealer Ort, um abseits des Trubels Ruhe und Entspannung in landschaftlich schöner Umgebung zu finden. Es eignet sich auch prima als Startpunkt für Wanderungen, die Startpunkte der meisten in diversen Führern beschriebenen Wanderungen (Levadas u.a.) sind alle in kurzer Zeit mit dem Auto erreichbar (15 bis maximal 60 Autominuten). Da wir im November gebucht hatten, waren wir sehr froh um den Holzofen, mit dem wir das große Wohnzimmer gemütlich heizen konnten. Um diese Jahreszeit wäre es ansonsten manchmal recht kühl bei gleichzeitig hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit, eine weitere Heizung existiert nicht. Im Sommer ist das Haus vermutlich sehr angenehm, wenn es draußen recht heiß ist. Die Hausherrin hat uns mit selbstgebackenem Kuchen empfangen (lecker) und auf Rückfragen schnell reagiert. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen.

Une maison si agréable, dans un jardin magnifique, idéalement située pour visiter toute l'île !
Tout d'abord, l'accueil : Ema nous a accueilli avec une grande gentilesse, avec des spécialités que nous avons beaucoup appréciées (😊), en nous faisant partager ses lieux préférés, en nous donnant toutes les informations pratiques utiles pour le quotidien.
La maison ensuite : située dans un magnifique jardin, avec trois terrasses, un barbecue couvert, un salon gigantesque et tellement agréable,une cuisine super équipée (y compris du poêle et du four traditionnel), que demander de plus ? !
Elle est également idéalement située pour ceux qui souhaitent sillonner toute l'ile depuis un même lieu (tout est à 1h, 1h30 au plus pour les sites les plus éloignés).
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour à Madère.
Un grand merci à Ema ! (et pour la recette aussi !)

Un séjour parfait dans un endroit magnifique
Maison spacieuse, au calme, jardin et terrasses magnifiques, on est bercé par le chant des oiseaux. Ema et sa maman qui habite la maison voisine sont adorables, toujours disponibles tout en restant discrètes. Un excellent séjour pour toute la famille.

Idyllisches Ferienhaus
Es war wunderschön in diesem Häuschen mit wundervollem Garten, vielen Terassen rund um das Haus und tollem Grillplatz. Vielen Dank an Ema und Mena, die unseren Urlaub mit frisch gebackenen Kuchen und Salat aus dem Garten und sogar Kinderspielzeug perfekt gemacht haben. Unser Sohn 3,5 jahre hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist sehr kinderfreundlich. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, Auto ist jedoch zu empfehlen! Im Haus befindet sich auch ein Kamin, für kältere Tage. Das Haus ist komplett ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Vielen Dank!
