Great place with nice owner

Relax garden house matched perfectly what we wished for. Tranquility and comfort is what we needed and what we got in this accomodation. From brand new decorations and modern interior, super clean conditions to a very comfortable bed with huge blanket and bedsheets in hotel quality, everything was perfect and made our stay very enjoyable. The view out the windows and from the terrace is beautiful and you can see all the way down to the sea on one side and to the green mountains on the other side. Colorful flowers are planted alongside the terrace. The gem of staying in this place is Maria, who owns the house and spoiled us with treats from her garden and her kitchen. We managed to meet in person too and visited her in her little Bar "Rochao" just a short drive away. Don't miss this opportunity and enjoy your stay here like we did.

We booked the house Relax Garden House through An Island Apart. Everything went very smoothly and professionally. Clear and well organised information was sent on time via SMS, WhatsApp and email. Everything was very clear, and there was always a contact person available. If you miss anything at your location, they arrange it for you the very same day. In our case, this meant two electric heaters for the cool and humid evenings at the end of December. Very well organised, with friendly and pleasant people. Also five stars for the house we stayed in, Relax Garden House. A beautiful location on a hill in the middle of the southern side of the island. A large terrace with a small garden, fresh lemons growing on the tree, and a magnificent view over the ocean and the town of Arco da Calheta. A perfect base for making beautiful trips around the island. The house has been newly renovated and lacks nothing. A lovely, quiet place. Private parking under a carport with access via an electric gate. The woman and owner of the house was amazing and kind. Upon arrival we received a basket with fresh fruit, nuts, two small bottles of liqueur, homemade jam and banana cake — so sweet. On Christmas Day there was another surprise waiting for us at the door: all homemade Madeiran delicacies for our evening dinner. It was delicious. We travel a lot as a family, but we have never experienced hospitality like this before. All in all, a solid 10+ on this beautiful island. We will definitely be back.
