Quinta Devónia - Cedro,country house with sea view

We had a beautiful stay afar from the city noise and felt all around very comfortable in and around the house. It felt like living inside a botanical garden. A little tip: Don’t just trust google maps - it leads you up very steep roads Instead use ER201 (Caminho dos Pretos) - takes about 3 minutes more, but you‘ll reach your destination much more relaxed :) Would definitely come here again!

Doesn’t have an oven or grill as listed. BBQ which is listed is broken. Makes it difficult when you stock up on the way expecting these things. A few small things like no ironing board (there js one listed) so had to ask for one to be delivered. Small things like no bin bags provided (even though you can’t flush toilet roll so need them). No information provided regarding how difficult it is to get a taxi back in the evening - twice a taxi from town couldn’t make it all the way back due to steep roads so we had to get out early and walk up steep hills in the dark. Could be much better information about this

Very nice and cosy house with very beautiful garden . It felt like a piece of paradise for us. The terrace has an ocean, city and a mountain view.

Very nice location... an amazing beautiful garden, with so many beautiful plants ! The landlord is very friendly and helpfull !!!

Great place, fully equipped, amazing view, very quiet (I don’t know where the comments regarding dogs come from). Only point to keep in mind: take a rental car and don’t follow Google Maps. Use the twisting road instead of the straight one. If using the straight road, first gear all the way is your best friend! Bolts are easy to go to the house but can be difficult to go back down to the city.

It smells really humid and old inside the whole house. Furnitures are really old and smelly, the kitchen equipment is not clean. The whole house needs a fresh up, new kitchen equipment, furniture and curtains would already make a difference. It seems this should only be for making money, no investments have been done since years. Other guests already complained about poor kitchen equipment but nothing was changed. I would definitely not recommend staying here!!

De plek is fantastisch, echter geen mogelijkheden tot een winkelbezoek tenzij je met een taxi een boodschap wilt doen. De locatie is heel hoog in de bergen, niet dichtbij de bewoonde wereld en moeilijk begaanbaar. Kookgelegenheid was 1 kookpit, de andere had geen bedieningsknop. Er werd beschreven dat er een afwasmachine aanwezig is, maar toen wij het huisje zagen leek dat al niet reëel. Dat klopt ook, er was geen. Nou vinden we dat niet zo`n punt, maar vermeld het dan ook niet. Met 1 kookpit en geen gelegenheid om uit eten te gaan was het erg behelpen. Op de bedden lag je op de veren, dus deze zijn aan vervanging toe. Een fles water als welkom is wel het minste wat aanwezig mag zijn op deze afgelegen plek en je arriveert zo vanuit de vlieghaven. We vroegen om een andere lokatie, daar werd heel welwillend in gedaan, alleraardigste dame die ons daarbij heel voorkomend hielp, echter toen we bijna vertrokken naar een ander appartement zou hij ineens volgeboekt zijn. Kortom nee we komen hier niet weer terug en kunnen helaas ook niet deze quinta adviseren aan anderen. (NB:we hebben zelf een andere lokatie naar tevredenheid gevonden)

Nous avons adoré séjourner dans la petite maison Cedro, car nous étions au calme et indépendant ! L'accès avec la voiture était très impressionnant mais ca valait le coup pour le calme, la vue et la terrasse :)

Auf der Booking.com Web seite u d ihrer Hoteleigenen web seite habe ich bereits beschrieben was alles schlecht war.

I expected much more from a house anounced as Quinta Devónia - Cedro, country house with sea view - There is no sea view or Funchal view from the house, you had to move to another area of the property to see Funchal or the Sea. For me the pictures shown of the house with the Funchal and sea view are misleading. You can't expect me to spend the morning under the sun in another area of the property to have breakfast, lunch, dinner or check my mail with my laptop, just to have a nice view - Vegetation is so out of control in the property that is difficult to move with the car or even walking, in the porch you don't have any view except the vegetation that sorrounds the house - No indications the get to the house the first day, except google that sends you to a street 45º of inclination, with a part that can't be followed up hill, no previous help to recommend a better way by the property. - The kitchen elements are at the minimum minimum, 3 coffee spoons, 3 coffee cups, few dishes, we had to spent most time washing dishes just to breakfast and lunch. - The chairs in the living room are loosen and disassemble after a couple of hours. - Cleaning is not correct, spider webs in the ceiling, in bedside table, etc. - Cleaning service, came once during our stay without announcing, they spent less than 10 minutes in the house and did not clean anything. - First day, just one additional roll of toylet paper, is not supposed to be responsability of the property to provide it for all the days? - No indicationsto get to the house the first day: key locker is not marked with the name of the house, no indications inside the property to get to the house, so we had to visit every house until we found Cedro. - House for two but only on lounge chair to take the sun under the house mini-garden - Too many small objects, pillows, and decoration in the tables of the house for a so limited space, we had to remove everything to have some free space.
