Orchid House is in a very beautiful setting with ocean and mountain views. It has lots of plants and flowers in and around the house. It is fairly close to Calheta and Funchal for beaches and hikes. We went to the Botanical Gardens on the gondola lifts! That gives you a wonderful look at the city and many plants and flowers! The house was very clean and well equipped with towels and kitchen tools to cook at home sometimes. We enjoyed having some of our meals on the outdoor balcony. The rooms, beds and pillows were very comfortable. Our host was very responsive to questions that we had and made suggestions of things to do, places to go. We would be glad to recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Madeira!

We had a fantastic time in Madeira! The property was very clean, cosy and well equipped and was a pleasure to come back to at the end of long day of walking. Breakfast on the balcony was great and the views were amazing. The property is ideally based for exploring Madeira and is close to a supermarket which was very useful. Silvia was there to meet us which was a lovely touch. Silvia was also very good at providing information via WhatsApp when we had questions. Madeira is a wonderful, peaceful island and would recommend this property to anybody wishing to spend a relaxing time in this beautiful place.

We are thinking so much back to the wonderful days we spent at Madeira and at Silvia's house which is situated in an authentic environment of Madeira - of course uphills and a good site to explore most parts of the Island. While sitting on the balcony we enjoyed the beautiful views of the southern coast and watched the locals' "normal life" The house is equiped with everything you need incl. television (no german programm) and wifi. Silvia is a perfect host always providing tipps and recommendations. The rent is more than worth while.

Great views from terrace. Very comfortable beds. Wonderful host Silvia. Top floor is all open tile floor....great place to do yoga. Good cable tv and wifi. Excellent location for getting to many towns and hiking trails.
