Positive: De prachtige ligging mooi huis wat erg vol staat. Negative: Dat het erg koud was en geen hout voor de kachel. Dit was gelukkig wel in een dag verholpen. Heel jammer dat we de mooie muziek installatie niet aan de praat kregen

Positive: Nulla. La casa è ammuffita. Umida e insalubre. A parte questo abbiamo goduto della compagnia di vermi e scarafaggi che ogni mattina ci davano il buongiorno Negative: La casa è molto grande e per la costante umidità presente non ci sono riscaldamenti. Abbiamo chiesto assistenza e ci hanno risposto che potevamo usare il camino cercando la legna da qualche parte in giro per la proprietà. Non c'era nulla. Abbiamo speso 712 in tre per quattro notti per ammalarci. Volevamo andare prima via chiedendo un rimborso ma non ci hanno risposto. Booking è intervenuta ma ci ha dato solo 80 euro. Per nulla contenta

The location of the house was beautiful and full of nature everywhere. The house was a bit humid and could be better equipped with bed sheets, pillows and pillowcases. One of our pillowcases was missing and the host never brought it. Otherwise perfect for a bigger group as it’s got a big kitchen and dinner table. The location is good, very close to Seixal, and not far from Funchal either.

Positive: O alojamento é perfeito para quem quer descobrir a zona norte da ilha. As vistas são incríveis. Apesar de termos ficado apenas 1 noite, e termos pena de não ter sido mais, conseguimos desfrutar bastante. Bom atendimento. Negative: Nada a dizer.
