PAUL & NELSON
We speak French - Portuguese - A few words of English -OUR ESTABLISHMENT NO LONGER WELCOME CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE. We bought our house Docevida with the main objective of sharing our spaces in guest rooms. A guest room is a homestay, and not a hotel. We have taken special care to keep an "eye" of "visitors (customers)" when making our choice. We did not hesitate to choose a slightly "isolated" location to guarantee the tranquility of our visitors, with sea view gardens and several relaxation areas, all without any overlooked or immediate neighborhood. Surrounded by laurel forests and vineyards. We have completely refurbished our two bedrooms to meet current requirements, new quality bedding, television, fiber optic wifi and acoustic insulation of the connecting walls of the 2 bedrooms. Our rooms are 12m2 in addition to the bathroom (shower and toilet). We only rent 2 rooms. Also shared spaces, including a fully equipped barbecue which also serves as an open kitchen, where all our breakfasts are taken. The space is ideally located to spend moments of calm and tranquility and is perfectly suited to teleworking. The two bedrooms have a private and independent entrance on the ground floor. Our animals (2 small dogs, a cat) live freely on the property, but they are strictly prohibited in rooms. The drought in 2023 has caused a very strong invasion of ants throughout the island, to avoid their visits to the rooms, we strongly advise against any insertion of food or food waste or empty cans in the rooms, a small dining area is installed in front each room for your small snacks, and several other spaces still in the property. The climate requires constant ventilation of the rooms, thank you. Reception never before 2 p.m., departures 11 a.m.
We speak French - Portuguese - A few words of English - We are both former freelancers in a service company, we are keen to share our spaces but also our experiences and knowledge of the island, even if we have always lots to discover and learn about it! Our space is a real homestay, which assures you of a regular presence of your hosts in discretion. We take real pleasure in guiding our visitors with practical advice on the uses and customs of the island's inhabitants and we are happy to advise you on the organization of your days. And to top it all off, as the rooms are offered breakfast included, we like to prepare the eggs for your breakfast ourselves upon request.
The property is located in the Madeira laurel forest protected by UNESCO. A rather busy walk in summer this is just at the back at the back of the garden. Aces to the sea can do this on foot or by car of your choice, in 25 minutes on foot, pebble beach exclusively. Several nearby restaurants, one of which can be reached within 20 minutes on foot. The others between 18 and 15 minutes from the property by car. The small village of Boaventura in front of the valley offers a restaurant service, a laundromat, a pharmacy, a new grocery store and several bars. Car rental is strongly recommended or ask for our private car-sharing service. Most of the walks are located in our region including the lava caves that have just reopened. We are less than 40 minutes from the natural pools of Porto Moniz.
