Amazing property on the hillside overlooking Funchal. Surrounded by banana trees and other fruit trees and flowers, the garden and grounds make this place special! Plenty of room and washing machine was a big help. We were looking for quiet and this place was close enough to be convenient but far enough from the center to be quiet at night. Excellent local coffee shop and grocery mart just a few blocks away.

For me and my parents, this accommodation was really awesome. Usually after vacations I say that I would not want to return to the same place, but in the case of this villa I say that I want to return there and for a longer period of time. An incredible garden, and quiet environment, despite the fact that you are basically close to the city center. The owner is very friendly, talkative, and helpful and communication is completely without any problems. I really have to say that this accommodation met my expectations, maybe even exceeded them. If you rent a car, you can easily park it in the garden The beds are comfortable, the accommodation is clean and the overall atmosphere, thanks to the garden, is excellent. We thank Mr. Catanho for this stay

The place was amazing, pictures can't do justice to it. The house has everything you need and not far there is a supermarket so you can actually cook something instead of always eating out. The views you get from the windows are just so beautiful! Only thing is, if you are visiting and decide stay here, a car may be in your best interest. It has a big sofa, a double, a single room and a master bedroom with a crib and another little bed to the side, so basically is good for both group of friends/couples and families, they'll also fit everyone on the big dining table.

The estate house was pleasant surprise. It has a banana & papaya orchard and a shaded lounge garden in a quite part of the city. A sign at the corner to turn into the last part of the street to the estate gate. The master ensuit has a open hugh bathroom with baby crib. A nice set up over all.

Beautiful, secluded location yet close to town, buses and the sea. Excellently equipped for cooking and to enjoy eating on the balcony or in the terrace garden, looking out over the grounds to the sea. Such kind hosts.

This villa is an unusual and quirky. The banana plantation, where the villa is located, is almost in the middle of the old town, but remains rather isolated. Lets start with plusses: - as I said, the location is good: close to the town and the port. The grocery shop is just round the corner. As well as a bus stop. It was very easy to get to town and the beach, but most of the time we had a taxi on the way back, as it was very steep. - the view at the ocean was marvellous. - lots of space inside and outside. - lots of storage. - very comfortable bed (can't say the same about the pillows) - lots of towels. - lovely shower. - a parking space (driving is not easy, but you get used to it)

Beautiful Villa in a great location, the views are amazing. Ten minute walk down to Funchal, which kept us fit. Maria and Adelino Snr showed us around. We arrived very late, Maria gave us a lovely pizza, left some other supplies, tea bags milk. This was one of the best Villas we have been to, very well equipped. Lovely shower in master bedroom. The Villa is picture perfect and every morning we were fortunate to open our windows, to the view of the Atlantic Ocean and the lovely banana plantation below. Adelino responds very quickly to any requests. Overall we felt sad leaving the Villa. We will never forget our lovely time spent in Funchal in the Villa, magic.

The house was close to the centre on a very steep hill though- that's just Funchal. It was ok to walk down the streets- better to use a way through the garden, but we used taxi coming home (since we usually spent the whole day walking around and it is a very steep walk up the hill). The Bolt taxi cost 4 euros from city centre. There was also a bus stop near the house. If you rent a car there would be a lot of space for parking. The house is spacious, beds comfortable, kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. There was a TV with a lot of channels, could watch some of the Olympics. In our opinion the best asset was the garden with an ocean view. We held our breakfast there, as well as spent some late nights enjoying the outdoors. The garden is illuminated. There was a good communication with the owner, could help us when we needed something.
