Relaxing Madeira Life

We stayed at Casa Borboleta around Christmas and New Years Eve. With the big and sheltered terrace the house is perfect to enjoy the mild weather outside. We felt at home in midst of all the other Houses.Its an old house with its own characteristics what made our stay even more enjoyable. The bathroom is perfectly new disigned. The living room has the nice character of a wintergarden. The garden itself is flourishing all the time.We were lucky to taste Madeira Bananas.The place on Madeira was perfect. When we could observe thick clouds anywhere around we had sunshine.We would return as soon as possible.

Balcony of Madeira

We had a wonderful stay at this place. Especially the porch and garden are great to relax after a long hike or in the morning. The hosts Sarah and Ciarán are very nice and always there if you have a question or need a good tip what to see, when the weather has you cancelling your plans (Thanks again! :) ). There are some small farms around with the typical sounds and animals which we found enjoyable. The house itself is very clean, however since it's in the subtropics your are occasionally welcomed by a lizard or insect that made its way inside, but as long as you don't leave any food out, you'll be fine. There is essential infrastructure around: small supermarket, little coffee/poncha place and last but not least a Hawai themed cocktail bar called Pukiki that is great for the spontaneous drink in the evening without the need of driving (many do drive there as its possibly the best cocktail bar on the island if not Portugal). So overall, if you're not looking for a luxurious resort but a quiet place to wind down from work and to explore this little macronesian island gem, it's perfect. :)

We loved our stay at this beautifully renovated cottage overlooking the ocean. It has everything you need and is very relaxing. Good base for exploring the western side of the island. Sarah was a very kind host who provided many great recos for the area.

Super accommodation to discover the west of Madeira.

Very clean and functional accommodation, everything is there. In addition, the accommodation offers a particularly pleasant garden with a superb view, ideal for a change of scenery. Sarah and Ciaran are very pleasant hosts. We would recommend this accommodation in all respects.

The garden and terrace are really beautiful and we really appreciated the view. The location is also great, close to shops, cocktail bar and access to the main roads. Sarah and Ciaran were also really nice and caring, we really appreciated discussing with them. We would definitely recommand the place to our friends.

Cozy house with a great view

We really enjoyed our 10 day stay with Sarah and Ciaran, we met them on arrival and they were very friendly, courteous and helpful. The house had a clean and comfortable interior. The living room has lots of books and board games. The kitchen is large and includes everything we needed including a dishwasher, large fridge with a freezer, stove, oven and microwave. There is a large bathroom with a washing machine and additionally a second toilet outside of the main bathroom. Despite the house being older it was never too warm inside, even on hot days. The view is even better than in the photos online and visible from most rooms of the house. Outside the property has space for at least 2 cars and parking on the street should also be possible. The garden felt very private and includes lots of sunbeds and a grill. The deck has a roof so that we could still sit outside when it rained or when the sun was more intense. The location was great for us as many hikes were only a relatively short drive away. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, we never had trouble sleeping and always felt safe. There are a bar, snack bar and small supermarket in walking distance nearby, which had pretty much everything we needed, and in some cases a better selection than the large Pingo Doce supermarket in town. More shops including Pingo Doce and restaurants are a 5 minute drive away in Calheta. The beach is the same distance and parking further up the hill (about a 5 minute walk down to the beach) is free. We hope to return soon!

Mir hat die Lage des Hauses, mit Meerblick von der Terrasse, besonders gut gefallen. Wir waren 4 Wochen vor Ort, in der Zeit wurde 2 mal die Bettwäsche und Handtücher gewechselt, hatten wir überhaupt nicht mit gerechnet. Ferner wurden die Taps für den Geschirrspüler aufgefüllt, auch die Seife.Der Vermieter hat uns auch zwischendurch gefragt ob alles Okay ist. Wir waren mit dem Aufenhalt sehr zufrieden.Die Unterkunft ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Super logement

Maison charmante avec belle vue sur la mer ; elle est bien située pour visiter l'ensemble de l'île. Très bien équipée, il ne manque rien en cuisine et la literie est confortable. Le quartier est calme et, point non négligeable il y a un super bar à cocktails à proximité ! :) Les propriétaires sont très gentils, avec de jolies attentions et la communication avec eux se fait sans problème. On recommande !

sehr zufrieden

sehr nette und zufriedenstellende Kommunikation mit Cirian und Sarah. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet mit allem, was man für einen Urlaub benötigt. Die Betten waren sauber bezogen und bequem. Etwas Spinnenweben an den Lampen, welche aber den Charme dieses Hauses nicht untergruben. Die Aussicht ist herrlich und man konnte jeden Abend Grillen und die Zeit im Freien verbringen.
