Our stay in her house was fantastic The cottage is fabulous, it has all necessary things to stay here with every comfort you need Maribel is very kind, helpful and she was very caring about our hospitality. When we came she just made we find in the house some local products that we appreciated so much. The communication before our arrive was excellent! The cottage offers you a spectacular ocean view that make you begin your day with a panoramic breakfast. Very recommended the next time we come to Madeira, we would have a pleaser to stay in this house againg. It was a pleaser to meet you Obrigado greetings from Italy Antonio Tremamondo

La maison perchée sur les hauteurs de Porto Moniz est magnifique. La vue plongeante sur l'océan hypnotise le regard. Que de mieux que de se réveiller le matin dans son lit et d'avoir comme tableau l'océan. Maribel est charmante et attentionnée; un panier d'accueil avec les spécialités de Madère nous attendait. Maribel a toujours été disponible et nous a communiqué de bonnes adresses. On a passé un excellent séjour !

La maison de Maribel est GENIALE ! la vue sur l'océan est magnifique, c'est très très très calme (pas de bruit à part l'océan), très belle maison, on s'y sent comme chez soi. Maribel est adorable, a tenu à prendre de nos nouvelles pendant et à la fin du séjour, nous a laissé quelques gentilles attentions à notre arrivée : 10 jours merveilleux à contempler l'océan ! Très bon point de chute pour explorer le nord-ouest : littoral, Paul da Serra, Rabaçal...

Everything that we write about Maribel and her amazingly located place would count against us, because the possibility of return might be impossible due to competitors :) Maribel is a wonderful, caring host, and there is no exaggeration in other guests’ opinions. The residence – called tenderly by Maribel a “cottage” - in real life looking even better than on the pictures, is charmingly located, with beautiful view of the ocean and fresh breeze even on warmer days. Its high standard makes your holidays untroubled and very comfortable. Perfectly fitted-out, clean and cosy – that’s all true. The basket with regional food and drinks is only one example that Maribel puts her heart and soul into preparation of the house so that her guests can feel at home there. During our stay we drove through the island, each day exploring different places, but the returns and evenings spent at “Ocean view”, with a glass of Madeiran wine, were simply gorgeous. Our warmest thanks, Maribel!

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Maribel's amazing house - it's a lovely modern holiday cottage with a great open plan kitchen / living room area and glass windowed front with spectacular views of the sea. #1 about this place is the location - really incredible. It's also in a very quiet area and totally private. Porto Moniz has some good restaurants and stunning natural swimming pools in the rocks by the sea. Recommended! Maribel was also fantastic at communication and making us feel really welcome.

We had a great welcome and a quick tour of the towns highlights before driving up to the house. Porto Moniz is a small, clean and friendly town with a nice selection of restaurants. It's about an hours drive from Funchal and set in a very beautiful green mountain area. We stayed there for a week and we were very well located for exploring the island and finding nice walking trails. There is no beach in this area but some nice natural sea water swimming pools built amoungst the rocks. The town is not crowded so it has a very relaxed feel. The house it's self has stunning views over the ocean and mountain side. The neighbouring properties are far enough away to give a great feeling of space and the house is not overlooked. Every aspect of the house is in very nice condition and is clearly well cared for. The layout feels spacious due to the huge windows that also allow the views if sitting inside. We would not hesitate to use this house again.

Nuestra anfitriona contactó conmigo casi inmediatamente después de hacer la reserva, me ofreció información completa y práctica sobre cómo llegar a la casa/apartamento y ese contacto se ha mantenido en todo momento durante nuestra estancia en la isla. En la acogida, ha sido muy amable y puntual. Además, desde el primer momento manifestó su disposición por ofrecernos la información necesaria para el disfrute de nuestra estancia en la casa, el pueblo y la isla.

Our expectations were very high after reading other reviews, but we were totally wowed by our stay and our expectations were not only met, but were exceeded by far. From first booking, communications were excellent and very speedy, and when Maribel met us in Porto Moniz to show us the route to the house, we found out in person what a lovely person she was. Her introduction to the house was really informative but she told us if we had any questions we could contact her. She also welcomed us with some Madeira treats: wine, cheese, bread etc. (Which was great as we didn't have to do any shopping the first evening). Now on to the property: wow, fab, amazing and a whole raft of other adjectives meaning wonderful. Everything was perfect. The design of the house was modern, airy and open plan. It had everything we needed or could have wanted. The glass front of the house opened on to a terrace with a beautiful view of the sea, we spent every evening sitting out at sunset with a glass of wine, totally at one with the world. The garden was great, lizards abound and herbs (we indulged in the mint to have fresh mint tea). The furniture and fittings were high quality, linens were beautiful and there was a plentiful supply of hot water. As I think you'll be able to tell from the above, we would recommend Maribel and her property 100%. Thank you Maribel and Ana.

We stayed at Casa do Bisbis - Nature Retreat for in January to enjoy the quietness and slow pace of life out in north west of Maderia, the House was wonderful with a fully equipped kitchen and some fresh bread and wine. the area is quiet and local, with a small shop 2 minutes walk from the house. we enjoyed the 2 close lavada walks just 10 minutes walk from the house and being just a few minutes drive away from Porto Moniz to a dip in the rock pools and restaurants with a view. The real fire was very welcome for a cosy night in when it started to get cool. Carla and João are excellent hosts, meeting us at the house, giving us excellent advice on the nearby levada walks and letting use their maps and guidebooks.

Carla est gentille et bien attentionnée. La maison est magnifique, propre et meublée avec beaucoup de goût. L'endroit est tranquille, avec plein de coins à découvrir. À recommander.

Stunning location alongside the mountain of Porto Moriz with a partial ocean view and only 5 to 10 minutes drive to the natural volcanic pools. Indelicate quiet setting with a great deck for cocktail hour, short wank to two different Lavadas. Lovingly furnished and cared for with a nicely equipped kitchen. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Casa bonita num lugar muito tranquilo. A casa corresponde perfeitamente às fotos. Ela é espaçosa, arejada e bem decorada. A varanda, grande, é muito agradável. A casa está situada a 10min ( de carro) de Porto Moniz. Duas levadas muito bonitas começam bem perto da casa ( levada dos moinhos e levada da ribeira da janela ) Carla nos recebeu muito bem, deixou excelentes conselhos de visitas para conhecermos a ilha e também disponibilizo todo o necessário para nosso bebê. Nós passamos férias deliciosas e esperamos voltar em breve a esta linda ilha ! Beautiful house in a very quiet place. The house look like the photos. It is spacious and well decorated. The balcony, large, is very nice. The house is located 10 minutes (by car) from Porto Moniz. Two trails very beautiful start near the house (levada dos moinhos and levada da ribeira da janela). Carla received us very well, taken good advices about places to see and provides all necessities for our baby. We spent delightful holidays and hope to return soon to this beautiful island!

Staying at Carla's place was fabulous! We had a fantastic experience living as a local in a very nice village, a few hundred meters from grandiose levada paths, and a few minutes by car from the natural pools. Carla is a lovely person and an absolutely perfect host taking care of everything and being so kind every time we communicated, as well as welcoming us at the house. She also gave us some very useful tips like restaurants, bars, local concerts, etc. The house itself is spacious, tidy, nicely decorated, luminous, warmly decorated, full of soul and with very good vibes. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to experience Madeira island at its best!

Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Carla und Joao empfangen, mit einem süßen Gastgeschenk... ;-)) Carla und Joao haben uns das Haus gründlich erklärt und waren stets erreichbar wenn wir Fragen hatten! Sie haben tolle Tips für Wanderungen, Ausflüge und Lokale bereitgestellt, sowie Wanderkarten und einiges an Infomaterial. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, mit wirklichen schönen Details. Die Küche ist prima ausgestattet und der Kühlschrank war für eine erstes Frühstück gefüllt, super! Wir haben die 14 Tage in Casa do Bibis sehr genossen. Es ist absolut ruhig und ursprünglich. Der kleine Laden um die Ecke bietet alles was man kurzfristig braucht und die Leute sind wirklich nett. Wir können das Haus von Carla absolut weiterempfehlen!

We can only recommend to stay with Carla, we really enjoyed our stay. She was very communicative and helpful. Her Casa do Bisbis is really as cute as it looks on her photos! Carla prepared everything we needed for us and provided us with loads of suggestions of what to do. The house is within 10 minutes walking distance of two excellent levada walks and there is lots to see around.

The house is beautiful ad tucked away in a small town above Porto Moniz. The views were incredible and there was easy access to multiple Levada's Walks. We can't wait to go back and stay here again.

Great appartment. Everything is new, very clean and complete. 10 minute walk to the center of Porto Moniz although a bit steep. Big terrace for a breakfast in the sun. Great value for money!

Appartement moderne, très spacieux et très bien équipé. Grande terrasse avec vue sur mer. Nous avons passés un très bon séjour. Nous recommandons cette appartement.

We had a really good time enjoying Porto Moniz while staying at Alice's lovely, clean, modern apartment. Highly recommended as a great place to stay to explore this part of the island.

Alice's apartment is very well equipped (hairdryer in the bathroom; oven, water heater, refrigerator and all other equipment for cooking; washing machine, drying rack; extra sheets, chairs and a small table on the really spacious balcony, wi-fi connection /though it only worked in the living room/. The apartment has 2 bedrooms (one of which even includes a crib, thus suitable for famillies), 2 bathrooms (one has a tub, the other one a shower stall), a huge kitchen and a large terrace with a nice view of the ocean. The area is really calm, the people are welcoming, the town of Porto Moniz is a haven for people who want to relax. I spent 2 days at Alice's apartment with my boyfriend, I strongly recommend staying here. Only one remark: (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps doesn't know the street, we had to wander around a little before we were able to find it. Ask Alice for the coordinates before going there.

Superbe appartement , 10 min à pied du centre ville et des magnifiques piscines naturelles, grande terrasse avec ensoleillement uniquement le matin avec vu sur la mer pour prendre le petit déjeuner c'était superbe. Alice et son frère Filipo on contribué à un très bon accueil et remis plein d'informations sur les alentours. Merci à eux ! Je recommande cet appartement tout confort !

Wonderful roof top with sunshine... piscinas naturals at 10min in walk ! Perfect !!!

Une terrasse immense avec vue panoramique sur la mer et la montagne ( incroyable, non?) . Très grand appartement avec deux chambres deux salles de bain et un grand séjour. 10-15 minutes à pied des restaurants et piscines d'eau de mer du centre, mais on pourrait aussi y aller très facilement en 3 minutes de voiture.

Espacioso apartamento en una zona muy tranquila de Porto Moniz, nuestra estancia fue muy buena en general, bien comunicado, facilidad de aparcamiento y con una amplia terraza que no pudimos disfrutar por la lluvia.

Everything was perfect! The apartment is amazing, Nuno really thought of everything! The view is breathtaking! We absolutey loved it!

I can highly recommend this lovely abode, it was perfect and in an ideal spot in Porto Moniz. The apartment is a newly converted cottage, completely modernised with all mod cons and a huge terrace too. It really is a special place and the seascapes are to die for. 11 out of 10 from us! Thank you Nuno & Ana.

Ana and Nuno were absolutely superb hosts! Thank you for a wonderful stay in Madeira. The home was just as the pictures depicted, with a stunning view. The kitchen is fully stocked with every pot, pan and appliance needed. A cosy lounge, and bedrooms are very comfortable. Ana and Nuno were incredible helpful and accommodating. Our flights changed last minute and we had a late arrival, yet they still welcomed us with warmth. I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely spot. Thanks again, Chantelle

Breath taking view and great comfort in this fully equipped house!!

Brand new appartment. Very clean and everything works. Quiet and private. Great view from nice terrace. Nice people, Nuno and his daughter. Even carried our luggage. You won't regret a stay at Casa das Escaleiras. Paul & Laura

Perfect house!!! Fun to stay at the place!!

Really nice place with a charming garden. The hosts received us with a lot of sympathy. Thanks.

Belle chambre avec un point de vue extraordinaire, proche des fameuses piscines naturelles, Les hôtes sont très accueillant et il y a tout le nécessaire pour faire la cuisine. Seul bémol, l'isolation phonique des chambre

zeer vriendelijke mensen, prachtige tuin, zeer kleine keuken

Very nice place and clean. Just everything we needed, except that the location is not perfect. But if you have a car it should be fine

Great place in the North-West of Madeira, good for walks in the hills and on the levadas. Porto Moniz not too far away, though difficult to reach by public transport. Accommodation is not "real" AirBnB, as the full apartment complex is only for holiday-goers, but everything is well-done. Simple kitchen available, also with some shared food. Landlord was slow in confirming our reservation request - but everything was simply arranged when we called him

Everything were good! We enjoyed our time there a lot!

Nice and cozy place away from the city. Nice garden and room

Great place to stay with a family. The house is clean and comfortable, the view is incredible and Porto Moniz very near. A car is absolutely needed (the road climbs very fast). Ideal for six, a little bed on the living room for the seventh doesn't suit for more than one night.

L'emplacement est superbe, à flanc de colline et vue sur l'océan . Grande terrasse avec vue sur mer. Appartement agréable et confortable. Voiture strictement indispensable.

Plateau house is great, right on top of the hill surrounded by a beautiful Forrest perfect for the levadas (you will need a car, even the drive up is beautiful). Stunning walks in a stunning area. The hosts were so friendly, punctual to the minute and greeted with a wonderful personalised welcome basket, everything is here that you'll need, a lovely outdoor area in which to BBQ too. Recommended.

This was such a excellent stay! We love the the classy and nice room to stay. It was cleaned every day! The Garden around is such a beautiful place to stay. The Host waited for our arrival. There is everything in the kitchen and living room. And 1.5km away is perfect bakery to have fresh bread and Madeira specialities every day.

Très beau logement lieux calmes et bien entretenu . À moins de 10 min des piscines de Porto moniz et des randonnées.

One of the most beautiful places I've stayed! Hope to go back!

Es ist keine typische AirBnB unterbringung sondern eine Pansionsanlage. Es gibt zwei Häuser in denen es Mhrere Zimmer gibt die alle ein eigenens Bad haben. Küche und Esszimmer wird sich geteilt. Wir wurden herzlichs von der Mutter begrüßt, dass lief sehr schön nachdem es erst schwirig war Antworten zu bekommen wo wir genau Hinkommen müssen ob wer wan da ist. Hinweis: Das Haus ist bei (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps angegeben somit dann findbar ) Sonst waren wir außer einer Mittarbeiterin alleine und haben Miguel nur kurz einmal gesehen. Ich würde das Zimmer Nr 1 empfehlen mit Fenster. Es ist Insgesamt sehr feucht dort deswegen gibt es einen Luftentfeuchter im Raum das klappt gut. Abgesehen davon sind die zwei Häuser in einem Wunderschönen Garten gelegen. Ein Ort zum Seele baumeln lassen. Ausgangspunkt für Wandern und dann in Porto Moniz ins Meer hüpfen perfekt! Ein sehr schöner Ort an dem man wieder Zurückkehren kann. Alles Ordentlich uns Sauber. Bei guten Wetter kann man die Dachterasse nutzen oder den Garten genießen.

We had a brilliant time in Magna's fabulous place. There was only one problem: we had not enough time to stay longer.

Séjour parfait chez Magna. La chambre est très confortable avec une vue magnifique. Magna est une personne très sympathique et de très bon conseil concernant les randonnées et les bonnes adresses. We had a very nice stay in Seixal. The room was quiet and cosy with a splendid view. Thank you so much Magna, we had a wonderful time!

Extraordinaire expérience chez Magna, avec d'excellents petit déjeuner, le tout dans un cadre idyllique avec vu sur l'Atlantique. Nous avons apprécié son accueil, ses conseils et sa disponibilité. Bref, c'était parfait. À très bientôt.

I very much recommend staying at this wonderfully idyllic and relaxing place. Magna was an absolutely brilliant host, providing information, tea, good chats and extremely tasty home cooked breakfasts. The room was spotless and comfortable and the view from the terrace was sublime - a truly relaxing escape! Thank you Magna.

Magna was a great host, she even picked us up and brought us to Seixal, as the bus schedules were pretty rare.The stay was really pleasant, it is a shame that we did not stay there for longer. The view from the window was the stunning, and the hammock with the deckchairs even made it better. We hope to visit Seixal again.

Très jolie chambre dans une très jolie maison typique avec une vue formidable !! Environnement très vert,fleuri et très calme avec bien sur magna qui saura vous faire découvrir son île par ses spécialités et ses bons conseils de levada!!! Nous recommandons vivement cette très belle adresse!!

Het verblijf komt helemaal overeen met de foto's en is dus zeer orgineel ingericht. De locatie maakt het heerlijk om te genieten op het terras en van de luchten, de zee en de kustlijn te genieten. Magna gaf goede tips voor restaurant s, en was heel flexibele en goed bereikbaar. Dorp Seixal is authentiek en heeft een mooi natuurlijk zwembad.

Magna is a wonderful host, she will welcome you with a huge smile, a lot of suggestions on Madeira and, if you are lucky, she will offer you fruits from her yard and homemade food. The room is very romantic and stylish and the view on the ocean is simply breathtaking! Highly recommended!
