Entspannter Urlaub in toller Unterkunft

Das Haus liegt perfekt mit herrlichem Ausblick, die Dachterrasse ist immer für einen Sundowner gut. Gute Ausstattung, angenehme Atmosphäre, nette Gastgeberin und alle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Calheta etc. gut erreichbar. Und die Avocados vom Baum im Garten sind soooo lecker!Hilfreich wäre ein Staubsauger und vielleicht ein Wischmopp. Für eine Reinigung mit Besen und Spültuch ist das Haus doch recht groß.Wir würden das Haus jederzeit wieder mieten!!!

Beautiful garden getaway

I stayed at Casa do Gabriel for 8 days and loved every moment I spent on the secluded terrace, sipping wine, taking in the unlimited ocean views, surrounded by hibiscus and frangipani flowers. The house was spotlessly clean and Irina was a very responsive host. It was a great location for hiking and water access, and a world away from the tourist frenzy in Funchal. Highly recommend!

Séjour ressourçant

Merci Irina pour la qualité de votre accueil . Les produits mis à notre disposition pour grignoter furent bienvenus pour ne pas avoir à se soucier de cela dès notre arrivée. Nous avons apprécié la propreté de la maison, son confort et tous les équipements mis à notre disposition. La vue mer et le calme étaient un bonheur à chaque instant de la journée. Une amélioration possible ? Une petite piscine pour se rafraîchir après les randonnées et ce serait parfait;-) Pour cette location, il nous paraît nécessaire d' être équipé d un véhicule.

Traumhaft schönes Haus auf Madeira

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in diesem wunderschönen Haus auf dieser sehenswerten Insel sehr genossen. Der Empfang war freundlich und herzlich. Das Haus ist etwas schwer zu finden, da auf der Insel, die Beschilderung eher mangelhaft ist. Wer nicht gern Auto fährt, sollte lieber nicht auf Madeira Urlaub machen, zumindest nicht, wenn man keine Busausfahrten bevorzugt. Nur mit dem Auto erreicht man die reizvollsten Ecken der Insel. Außerdem sollte man wissen, dass es fahrerisches Können erfordert, denn die Insel besteht überwiegend aus steilen und kurvenreichen Straßen. Ansonsten ist Madeira absolut eine Reise wert.

Wir waren zum 2. Mal im casa do Gabriel und wir hatten wieder eine schöne Zeit, auch wenn die Einrichtung mittlerweile etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Zudem wären Fiegengitter in den Schlafzimmern und neue Matratzen sehr zu empfehlen. Aber insgesamt wieder ein schöner Urlaub.

Madeira holiday

We stayed for the first time on Madeira in Casa do Gabriel. We had a fantastic time. Madeira is beautiful with one week not being near enough to explore and do all the things Madeira offers. Our choice of Casa do Gabriel to stay in was an inspired choice. The house is fabulous, well equipped, comfortable, well located, private, clean, lovely hostess, fab garden with fruit we were allowed to pick! We loved everything about our accommodation and our stay in Madeira.

Nette Unterkunft in einer schönen Gegend

Das Haus bietet alles, was zum Leben benötigt wird. Es ist großzügig geschnitten, allerdings auch etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Eine Renovierung würde dem Haus guttun. Auch einige Möbel könnten ersetzt werden. Die Matratzen in den beiden Schlafzimmern sind leider sehr weich, daher wurden die beiden Schlafsofas im Wohnzimmer genutzt. Der Garten ist einfach gehalten. Irina war sehr freundlich und beantworte alle Fragen gewissenhaft. Ihr Englisch ist ausgezeichnet. Die Gegend um Calheta zeichnet sich durch üppige Vegetation und schönen Stränden aus. Außerdem ist sie touristisch nicht so stark überlaufen und bietet zudem einen hervorragenden Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen in den Levadas-Gebieten.
