House / Villa - Santa Cruz

Very nice & comfortable place to rest. Welcome is great. A rental car is mandatory as the place is located at 7mn from the city center by car but walking is not an option. We really enjoyed our stay and were able to visit the island as well as Porto Santo island. Great memories and we felt like at home.

Excellent stay, 10/10 recommend. Very clean and well maintained, beautiful views. Host was easy to communicate with, responsive, and had lots of thoughtful touches (local fruit, water, etc). Well stocked kitchen for cooking. Would recommend a car, but that’s true for most of Madeira.

Lovely welcome and beautiful property.

We loved every minute of our stay here and look forward to one day returning. Owner and property manager very friendly and accommodating to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend if staying here to rent car for short drives to the other locations around island for activities. Being near airport was not big deal we live just as near one where we are from and actually went down to do some plane spotting from awesome point.

We had a holiday on Madeira in May and stayed in Anna's house for 10 days. Anna, the hostess, is a very nice and hospitable lady, and so is her helper, Eli. The house is very clean, and the kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. The view from the garden is breathtaking. It's just a few minutes' drive from the airport and the pretty seaside village of Santa Cruz. A local snack bar, frequented by locals, is within a two-minute walk.

We stayed for 10 days in the property as a base to explore Madeira. The property was perfect for all 5 of us, lots of space, well equipped and immaculate. Anna is the host and is the loveliest person. She had baked us xakes for our arrival and supplied us with extra beach towels when needed. She also provided basic food and fruit., lots of advice about the area including a local farmers market we would never have known about. We loved our stay and visited most of the island. I would highly recommend this accomodation as a hub for exploring the island.

Me and my classmates and some friends rented this amazing house for a week. We felt very welcomed from the first moment we entered the house. The host had little gifts and water for us ready and the house was very very clean. We had a very relaxed time in the house eating on the terrace or relaxing in the garden after exploring the beautiful island.

We felt very welcome. Anna had baked us a cake, put water and milk in the fridge and lots of fruit ready on the tabel for us. The appartement was very clean and very completely equipped. Anna is very friendly and helpful and communication with Anna was good. We would have liked a bit more privacy, but besides that everything was perfect. We thoroughly recommend Anna's place!

The place is very nice the view was fantastic

Anna the host was extremely friendly and helpful, the property was clean. Location is great, close to the airport. Highly recommend this place

The house have a excellent localization, good accommodation and a magnificent view. Also, the manager is very kind, flexible and incredible person. I recommend this house.

The house is lovely, I was a bit disappointed to find it wasn’t the whole house- I was looking forward to waking up to the view from that lovely balcony, however, we had most of the downstairs part of the building. The beds were comfortable with duvets and blankets available. The lounge/ dining room had a good sized table for family of 6, unfortunately there wasn’t enough comfortable sofas for everyone to lounge around as there was only a leather sofa to sit 2. The lounge would benefit from having standard lamps rather than just the 6 bulb chandelier which we found to be far too bright to relax in. The kitchen is well fitted out with various sizes of pans, a huge assortment of crockery and cutlery, except for a bread knife, considering how much fresh bread is eaten here that would’ve been appreciated. It would have been very helpful to have a folder with useful information eg instructions for ovens, dishwasher, washing machine, what rubbish to put in each bin, etc. Due to the very hilly location and lack of reliable buses, I would definitely recommend hiring a car as we wasted 2 days walking up and down the hill and waiting on buses which didn’t arrive, much to out teenagers disgust!
