    The tents are very close one to another. Although there is a fireplace, we would get only 4-5 small pieces of wood in a day that last about half an hour. The kitchen is well equipped, but we have only got two coffee pods for the whole stay. We would have appreciated if we had coffee pods for the entire stay.

    The location and the view is superb. Also the jacuzzi is perfect after a hiking and walking day.

    There was a construction site across the street that had not been mentioned before, which made it difficult to relax during the day due to the noise.

    I had an amazing time at Germanas beautiful home and would love to visit again in the future. The tents are in a beautiful setting overlooking the south coast and surrounding farmland. Really a place where you can relax and connect with nature. The whirlpool was definitely the highlight of the accomodation, especially after longs days of hiking.

    Nothing

    Such a hidden gem on the already beautiful Island Madeira. It’s a big tent, but felt like a tiny studio/apartment. Very beautifully and tasteful decorated and everything was there. You can get into your private jacuzzi after a nice hiking on the island.

    There is nothing I didn’t like about this property. I would go back now if I could! (Only one thing to mention there is no hairdryer but I’m sure if you ask the owner she will support you with that)

    We opted for the smaller tent with outside bathroom as the others were not available. I’m all about nature but my boyfriend was more worried about having an outside toilet. It turned out that once we moved into an apartment for our second half of the journey in Madeira, we both missed a lot the Soul glamping vibe. The owner is a amazing and she has been so helpful since day 1 with suggestions and general support on the island. The tent really has everything you need: bed is comfortable, a tv, towels and a lovely small table to put your items. In addition to that you get an outside space to watch the sunset which is stunning and your own fridge in the kitchen area in case you need to store food. If you are really reluctant to use the outside toilet/shower (which is AMAZING!) there is a shared one which is really clean too.

    No complaints we would go back and recommend others to try here as well.

    My husband and i stayed here over Thanksgiving and we loved it. It's so quiet and pretty and Germana is such a sweet person. My favorite parts were the hot tub which we utilized every night we were there and the delicious breakfast that was dropped off to our door every morning. There's parking for soul glamping and we never had an issue with finding a space, prazeres/calheta is a bit out of the way so a car would be very useful for this area and you are quite far about an hour for the bigger hikes like pico ruvio which I would suggest basing yourself closer to funchal or maybe splitting your trip into two parts because this area is great to stay in!

    nothing but you will need to car if you want to explore Madeira - plenty of parking at the property

    stayed in the basic tent (but there was little basic about it) super comfy with stunning sunset views!!! Germania was so accommodating and even treated me to some veg and passion fruit from her mums garden. fantastic stay

    The accommodation was a dream. Incredibly beautiful with a lot of attention to detail. We stayed the first nights in the tent, which was so beautiful. It was worth it to book the accommodation. Everybody super welcoming, friendly and it was absolutely perfect. We were also able to change one night and were in the big tent with Jacuzzi, which was really great. We would come back anytime.

    The pictures on booking were a litte misleading, we thought we were staying in a dome with a jacuzzi but we ended up in a tent. (The tent was beatutiful anyways, but no jacuzzi.) We didn’t had a car and because the hill is so steep we weren’t that free to move. (The host helped us so credits to her)

    The environment was perfect, in the middle of nowhere where you can relax. The looks were amazing, the outside bathroom was a whole new experience for us.

    Nothing really - just be aware that you definitely require a car as I wouldnt recommend to walk up the steep hill :-)

    Super nice and caring host with love for details that make the experience at Soul Glamping even more unique. The glamping tent had everything that you can wish for, the whirlpool and the view to the sea were amazing. We will come back :-)

    We had one of the domes in the back and then you don't have as nice a view.

    We had a great stay. Beautiful dome with plenty of facilities and a lovely hot tub. Owner was extremely helpful.

    Be aware of what you get when booking the "basic" tent

    The advertisement was very misleading. All the photos only showed the larger "luxury" tents with private kitchen and jacuzzi. The basic tents have none of that, but that was not at all apparent from the booking. Instead they sent me a message after booking that many guests are "confused" about the tents, so I assume it is clearly intentional. The basic tent was way overpriced for what was delivered. Our "basic" tent neighbours were equally disappointed. I can see they added photos of the basic tents now, but that was not the case when we were booking.

    Beautiful view to the sea and coast from the top of the village. Our host Germana was very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean.
