Location, privacy, cleanliness and facilities. Zeza is a very warm and helpful host, will definitely come back next year! No problem of parking, yes the swimming pool is not heated but trust me you don’t need a heated pool in Madeira. Wonderful marina of Calheta is near, with a nice beach and many good restaurants.

We would’ve liked a bathtub, but whatever the shower is good!

I liked everything. There is really nothing that could be improved. Perfect location, perfect pool, comfy beds, soft towels, beautiful kitchen. Dolce gusto coffee machine. It was 1 week in heaven.

Prepare for mosquito. :)

Amazing location, house, host and facilities. Could not fault anything.

We liked everything! Could not fault it.

Great property in a nice quiet location (having a car is highly recommended) with lovely ocean views. Zeza is a great host who met us on arrival and then left us to enjoy our 2 weeks in privacy. She's only a call/message away if required and she sent us some messages with suggestions of paces to visit and eat at. The house has plenty of kitchen utensils and loads of crockery and cutlery and plenty of towels. There is a fridge in the kitchen and a fridge freezer in the utility room which also has a washing machine. Just about everything in Madeira is built of a hill so there are a couple of sets of stairs to get up to the property from the road.

Pool was unheated and too cold to use in late November

A beautiful house in a wonderful location! Simply ideal.

spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and in an ideal location. fabulous views too

nothing it was perfect and the walk up and down the hill will keep you fit

The location was absolutely amazing, insane view from my room, and it’s just a beautiful island in general.

It takes a bit of practice driving on the hill roads if you’re a new driver. I have nothing negative to say about the property.

Zeza's House has all equipment you would think of, including indoor-barbecue oven as many houses in Madeira seem to have. It is located adjacent to Zeza's own house (however, the immediate surroundings are private to the villa). Bedrooms with balcony are on the upper floor, with one big bathroom : perfect for 2x2, and there are extra beds in the room leading to the other bedrooms and bathroom. On the ground floor there is the open kitchen & very spacious living room with a big table allowing even a numerous family to eat inside; there is also a toilet and a laundry/storage room. Direct access to terrace and pool, with sunbeds, huge outdoor table, sofas. Zeza is really great and will do everything you wish to make your stay unforgettable, with very nice attentions like bringing you fruit (bananas, guava, lemon, mandarins...) from her own gardens. A/C everywhere, allowing also to heat (but unlikely that you would need that on Madeira). Within our 2-weeks stay, we had one everything-cleaning done with no extra charge.

All what I state was not an issue for us, but might be good to know for specific needs or reasons : access is through stairs - check with Zeza if this could be an issue for you (she has also an apartment which is easier to access). I would recommend you rent a car : shops, restaurants are not easily reachable by foot (the villa is on the rock above Calheta Beach area). A car is the best solution in my eyes to discover also the surroundings and the whole island, go to a bar or restaurant (we liked Happycars Madeira, interesting prices and cars are in perfect condition). Perhaps depending on seasons : sun in the pool area is in the morning until +- mid-afternoon end of December/beginning of January.
