Felicidade Rocha II - For Families, With a Pool

Exceptionally clean , comfortable and well equipped. Location is quite high , so the weather in Jan/Feb is unpredictable. If you want nightlife, bars and people, go elsewhere. If you like birdsong, trees and nature , you'll love it . We booked through An Island Apart and Nuria , who was our agent was fabulous. She always responded and was very very helpful . There are Lavada and hill walks from the door . Stunning. The indoor outdoor kitchen is great - the housekeeper is lovely. There is no 'clutter' from previous occupants - which I love . The TV was excellent- we were able to get Netflix in English using a The beds are fabulous and the showers are the best ever . Only negatives are a slight privacy issue with the twin house next door . Also the listing should say heatable pool ( at your cost ) not heated pool . I did swim in Jan/Feb and it was very cold , but still great . Enjoy the trees , the clouds , the cows, the sunsets , the birds , the Kestrels and Buzzards and the skies at this rental . But ....this morning , it seems construction has started on a nearby plot , so a concrete mixer , gravel and builders stuff was delivered to just below the villa . We have been out all day , so not experienced any problems . You might wish to check the extent of disruption with the host or booking agent before you commit .

A very disappointing rental through Airbnb. The description said “heated pool”, the leaflet in the house says the swimming pool temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. I can tell you that it is only heated by the sun, which, in January, is not enough to keep it at 25. When we asked the host (an Island Apart, a large holiday rental property manager in Madeira, their only explanation was that it costs EUR40/day to get it working and heated... this was never mentioned before. The Internet connection is average, definitely not stable enough for a decent work and school from home.. We didn’t have good wifi signal on the first floor, so they brought an extender. The dining room might be nice in the summer, but in the winter, it is just too cold and unusable. Also, there is no heating nor air conditioning on the first floor: just one (quite noisy) A/C unit in the main room on the ground floor. The villa is supposed to be quite new, yet some painting on the walls is falling apart. In the kitchen, the high dining table is not fixed properly to the wall and gives the impression it could fall on you at any time. When you explain to the host that you are disappointed and unhappy, they can only offer cheap, quick and dirty solutions. When you rent a place that says heated pool, but you were not told that the heating had a significant extra daily cost, it is misleading and dishonest. When you offer the guest to reduce the rental period from 2 weeks to 1 week, but keep almost 80% of the amount covering the two weeks, it is also very unfair. So my advice to future guests is to avoid this place and go somewhere else, where you will probably have better equipments, and definitely nicer, human and fairer hosts/ property managers.

Very nice location thanks to the owner 👌!!!

A very nice and comfortable villa with a swimming pool and a view of the ocean, located on a mountain slope, approximately 90 kilometers from the airport. Access or access is steep. Large living room with kitchenette, bedroom and large bathroom. On the first floor there are two bedrooms with a view and a bathroom. Complete equipment. All kitchen amenities are provided. Washing machine. Year-round barbecue area, outdoor tables and chairs/sun loungers. Big TV. Very comfortable beds, plenty of towels, warm in February 2023 and silence.... We were welcomed by Dmitry, who professionally showed us around the farm. He was ready to help at any time (there was no need). The takeover and acceptance of the villa was efficient. Once again, many thanks to Dmitry.

A casa ideal para férias em família ou com amigos. A decoração é muito bonita e moderna. Está muito bem apetrechada com tudo o que necessitamos. A limpeza é impecável, a piscina é limpa e viciante para crianças e adultos. Espero regressar em breve.
