"Hébergement bien situé et tenu par une personne très agréable et dynamique. Piscine très agréable et vue exceptionnelle. Néanmoins, l’ensemble est vieillissant : literie décevante, peu de vaisselle , moquettes tachées et usées."

"Excellent environment, beautiful place , very helpful staff and owner, highly recommended "

"We had a holiday on Madeira in May and stayed in Anna's house for 10 days. Anna, the hostess, is a very nice and hospitable lady, and so is her helper, Eli. The house is very clean, and the kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. The view from the garden is breathtaking. It's just a few minutes' drive from the airport and the pretty seaside village of Santa Cruz. A local snack bar, frequented by locals, is within a two-minute walk."

"Inmountain Resort offers remote accommodation high above the city of Funchal. Your host, Marco, is very accommodating. For a very reasonable fee, Marco met me at the airport and took me on a tour of Funchal. The accommodation is more than adequate. Quiet and very private. You will feel as if you are in another world - far from the hustle and bustle of daily life. High recommend Inmountain. "

"The night before I booked the Vrbo as I was flying in from the United States and needed a place to stay for one night before going to the resort. I’m less the 8 hours I found out my plane reservation got switched. I email and asked if I could get at least a portion of my money back and he said no. Eight hours before he had no one, so it wasn’t like I blocked others from coming. I just felt he was rude and not at all flexible."

"Appartement très bruyant car juste au-dessus de LA voie rapide. Confortable mais très peu d’équipement de cuisine. Parking pratique. Station balnéaire juste en bas très sympa. "
