    Love the bakery next door, our stay was convenient for the purpose.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Villa
    • Stayed 7 nights

    When it's warm in summer, the bedrooms are very warm and stuffy and very difficult to get cool air in despite the big glass sliding doors as with a flat roof the room heats up easily. No aircon. and one floor fan (but two rooms). I guess outside summer period it will be fine. You are close to the main road and cafe/bakery it is not a quiet area. No dishwasher, terrible washing machine. It is a modern basic interior but apartments are cheap build.

    The apartments are next to a shopping area with supermarket and "Chinese shop", and most important a bakery with amazing bread and perfect for breakfast and lunch. There a two sides terrace/garden around the house with shadow and sunny area. Walking distance from the beach with parking, showers and two beach cafe's. It is a modern basic interior and everything is there. Parking garage is perfect (cool).

    No air conditioning and the villa gets enough sun to be a bit too hot at night. If you sleep with windows open be ready for the noise from nearby bar/restaurant until 1-2 a.m. also the curtains make ruffling noise with the wind the windows are open. In July we weren’t too much bothered by mosquitos though. Didn’t like the shower curtain (never like those) and the fact that there was no dishwasher.

    Very big villa that can very comfortably host 4 (or even more?), two bedrooms, one shower, two WCs, big living room and the kitchen with all what’s necessary. A warm welcome by Elia, explaining all the necessary, possibility to leave the luggage in storage on the last day. A hog garden (pebbles and tiles) with a comfortable outside space, a barbecue and total peace at night after 1-2 am (such a silence that it hurts ;). A washing machine and nearly fully equipped kitchen, a good hairdryer in the bathroom and a decent bathroom. Pleasant evening walks to the town, the beach is also reachable on foot. Nice location all in all.

    As I said the structure of the house is perfect, the only thing we did not like much were the furniture in general specially the beds… the best are ok, but not great… I mean the house looks expensive and well designed but the beds are like from a hostel, they do not match the property… again, not a big problem but the owner will be doing himself a favor changing them for some more comfortable ones (more 10 stars review I mean)

    The woman in charge of the property (Leía) is the true spirit of the house, she makes you feel at home, always smiling (not faking it). The structure of the house and the design is perfect for a beach house, tha patio and the outdoor shower was super cool. There are plenty of parking spots and the house is super near to a perfect beach with plenty of parking spots also. The property was super clean and it was located not too far from the city Center but not too close… so perfect location for us. ohhh and the highly was they allowed us the checkout late! so we almost enjoy a full day before our ferry back to Madeira! this was Amazing!!!!!

    air conditioner would be helpful and furniture could be better quality (i.e. main bed), though all in all it was fine!

    Super nice and helpful staff, quick to respond to any needs. Good location - beach, supermarket and restaurants nearby. You can get your morning espresso just for 0,80€ 2mins away. Bus stop also near.

    The bed mattresses could be more comfortable, they were too thin

    We highlight the fact that the house was close to the beach bar “Praia do Henrique”, literally 5’ walk. Being so central in the island, it allows you to explore different beaches in Porto Santo. We also appreciated the wood grill outdoors with a table and seats to enjoy the evenings with family. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook for at least 5 people. There was one bathroom upstairs and one service toilet next to the living room. The living room was big, with a day-bed enough for 2/3 people and a large tv. There was 2 bedrooms upstairs, the suite was a bit hard to move around because of the size of the bed but there was alot of stowage. In the other hand the double room was more spacious. ·

    Nothing to not like about the house. The walk to the beach is more like 15 to 20 minutes and not 5 minutes

    The villa was lovely and clean and kitchen equipped for cooking at home. Quiet location.

    Noise, lack of ventilation, mosquitos, spiders and very basic.

    The house is very basically equipped. Noisy location - apart from the yearly festivities there was a bar on the other side with music until 2 am on the last 2 nights we stayed (Tuesday and Wednesday.) Friday thru Sunday there was a yearly festivity of Espírito Santo so we didn't notice music from the bar during the live concerts. The double bed was terribly hard and uncomfortable, definitely need a new mattress and to be updated with a topper as well. We eventually put the duvet under us on top of the mattress in order to be somewhat more comfortable. The outdoor furniture has seen its best days and needs replacement. No air-condition and in order to ventilate the house you need to open the glass doors - yes you get fresh air but also lots of mosquitos and some fat spiders. We arrived on Friday night only to discover a yearly festivity was ongoing at the same location as the villas . Live music was going on until 3am the first 2 nights and until 2am the 3rd night with all the commotion around late night festivities. We think it would be resonable for the landlord to inform guests about this as it is a yearly event, goes on till very late with all the commotion that follows. We contacted the landlord, who considered it not his responsibility and that they offered us a villa not directly infront of the festivities, but round the corner. The ones on the front basically had the festivities, concert and food stalls on the door step. We were round the corner and it was impossible to keep the windows open for fresh air due to the noise level. It was hot, noisy and no sleep for three consecutive nights. We then had 1 quite night before the bar on the other side had music until 2 am the following 2 nights of our stay. We do not recommend this accommodation or the landlord. The washing machine did not function. No dishwasher - considering the environmental aspect this should be fitted in order to save water. No sunbeds in the garden.

    Mrs Elia that came to meet and great us at arrival and was our point of contact was very professional and a delight to meet. She also handles the cleaning that was very good. We had a problem with the washing machine that broke down and Mrs Elia quickly came and sorted the situation out. Pet friendly, the garden was fenced in with a wall that was very good for our dog that could be outside off leash for play with us. Outdoor barbecue area.
