Avoid. Hard pass. Do not book. Etc.

Just skip this place, not worth it. Joao is not an unfriendly guy on the phone and he's flexible, but the place is damp and dirty. Not enough bedlinen and towels provided, took two days to deliver. Entry of property hard to find. WiFi only in one spot on the property (the shared activity room) for one device at a time. Frogs singing all night in a pond on the property, loudly (I liked it, but can be annoying). The jacuzzi is empty and dirty. Madeira is amazing though, absolutely go there. Nice fresh food. We met tons of genuinely nice locals, cool travelers and internationals who settled there and my god, the landscape, flora and fauna is absolutely stunning.

Unseriös

Ich finde es unseriös von FeWo Direkt, dass der Vermieter 2 Tage nach abgeschlossener, bezahlter Buchung einfach 60 Euro mehr verlangen kann, per Zahlungsaufforderung. Die FeWo war einmal sehr schön, mit Liebe angelegt mit sehr schöner Aussicht aber leider sehr ungepflegt! Für drei Personen ein Messer, zwei Gabeln, keine Salatschüssel, nur zwei Kopfkissen. Das Geschirr musste ich vor Benutzung erstmal spülen. Der Vermieter hat 2 Tage gebraucht um die gewünschten Gegenstände zu bringen. Wifi hat nicht funktioniert, der auf den Bildern angekündigte Whirlpool war nicht in Betrieb.

Les plus beaux couché de ☀️

J'ai eu beaucoup de difficultés pour trouver l'adresse exacte car il ne se voit pas depuis la route. Il faut descendre un escalier et continuer le chemin pour voir le numéro. D'autres occupants ont eu le même souci. Personne n'est sur place pour nous accueillir c'est dommage car tout serait plus simple. Joao et son fils ont réussi à me guider par téléphone. La maison comprenant plusieurs appartements ils m'ont attribué un appartement ne correspondent pas du tout à l'annonce. Finalement, tout s'est assez vite arrangé et le séjour (9 jours) s'est bien passé. C'est un endroit bénéficiant d'une vue magnifique ! Les équipements sont très très vieillots et mériteraient d'être remplacés. Une ancienne piscine sur la terrasse sert de réservoir d'eau et de mare aux grenouilles, le jacuzzi ne fonctionne pas et la salle commune est assez sale, c'est dommage.

Schlechte Betreuung vor Ort

Sehr schön gelegene Anlage. Das Appartement war sehr sehr einfach eingerichtet und die WC-Spülung funktionierte nicht, auch nach einem Tag trotz mehrfacher Reklamation. Als Nichtraucher hatten wir kein Feuerzeug oder Streichhölzer, die wir für das Kochen mit dem Gasherd gebraucht hätten. Da keine Besserung suchten wir ab dem dritten Tag eine neue Bleibe

lovely sunset

Great place to watch the sunset from a shared deck while having dinner. Double check if the jacuzzi is in working condition, it was off due to covid measures during my stay. wifi was not available as described, however there was signal for vodafone data. The host sends you GPS coordinates to find the location in a welcome message. If you are driving uphill to reach what looks like a shed at the GPS cooridnates, walk back downhill a few meters to find stairs going down towards the house.
