Porto da Cruz Cottage
Clean and tidy with everything which we needed for our stay. Plenty of information on hand for visitors not familiar with the island. The village is pleasant with a choice of places to eat, and in practice nowhere is too far away on Madeira. The property is characterful, nicely situated, and well maintained

Comfortable hill-side cottage
Warm welcome from the hosts, who were very helpful with suggestions and even drove in front of us to show us where the local supermarket was. The walking from the village was very good indeed, and we enjoyed exploring Madeira from our base.

Great location
We really enjoyed our stay here, the location was fabulous just a short walk from the village with plenty of places to eat and drink. As Maderia is a relatively small island we found that we get everywhere very quickly from Porto da Cruz. Fabulous views from the cottage, dramatic landscape all around and the sea too, would recommend for a stay.

Lovely house in lovely location. Plenty of breathtakingly beautiful scenery to admire
We had a fantastic time at the house and area. The house had everything we needed and was in a great location for exploring the incredible scenery, moutains, levadas, coast and much more. Sietske and Aurelio provided lots of useful information before we travelled (things to see, banks, restaurants, etc.). On arrival they made sure were were fully settled in and showed us to a restaurant before they left us to enjoy the peace and beauty. After that they were only a phone call away if needed. Im sure we shall be back there before too long and would certainly recommend it to friends and family.

Truly delightful.
The hosts?extremely courteous, friendly, helpful and informative, even coming back to rescue us after we had managed to get lost. The house? Everything any couple would need to spend relaxing week or more, truly a 'home from home' the view from the terrace is delightful, and the sound of Church bells and Cockrels is especially relaxing and watching the surfers is a hoot. The location? Porto Da Cruz is a charming seaside village with a local shop and plenty of places to eat out at very reasonable rates ( even for vegetarians) As our first visit to Maderia, things couldn't have been better. An easy five star rating.

Lovely Old Cottage in Friendly Porta da Cruz
If you're looking for somewhere with character in a really pleasant, relaxed location, then this cottage in Porta da Cruz is perfect. The village itself is a million miles away from the tourist bedlam of Funchal while simultaneously being a short drive from Madeira's capital! It's a great place to kick back and enjoy the genuine Madeiran way of life; our favourite restaurant, the snack bar A Pipa, was a great place to sample Madeiran foods such as scabbard fish and espedata, not to mention the fearsome cocktail Poncha, two of which sorted out the sore throat I had when we arrived. The cottage is lovely, on a hillside down a quiet road, surrounded by peace, tranquility and the odd confused cockerel crowing in the wee hours of the morning. The only negative thing I have to say about the place is that the road up there is rather scary, but if you can find anywhere in Madeira worth visiting that isn't down a terrifying road, you're doing pretty well! It's a perfect, basic cottage rental with everything you'd need for a week of relaxing, including free wi-fi (Which was more reliable than most places in London). Furnishings are basic, the kitchen is well stocked and Sietske and Orelio were incredibly helpful with communications and providing information on the local area. The caretaker was also wonderfully helpful when we arrived and, like everyone else in Madeira, extremely kind and friendly. As a base, Porta da Cruz is great - you can get to Funchal by blasting down the main road, taking the bus or driving down the adrenaline-soaked mountain route, with some stand-out hikes and scenery just a short distance away. When we return to Madeira we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Charmantes Häuschen mit Blick aufs Meer
In Blickweite zum Meer haben wir für eine Woche im Elternhaus von Aurelio gewohnt. Im Erdgeschoß Küche, Wohnzimmer und Bad, im 1. Stock das geräumige Schlafzimmer. Für uns zu zweit jede menge Platz um auch mal einen regnierischen Tag zu verbringen. Wie auf Madeira üblich wird mit Gas gekocht und geheizt. Nicht ganz trivial ist die Anfahrt per Navi de Google mit den engen Straßen seine Probleme hat. Dank Aurelio dem Host hat dann aber doch alles wunderbar geklappt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Gunstig gelegen vakantiehuisje voor wandelingen
Eenvoudig maar knus vakantiehuisje met gezellige woonkeuken en uitzicht op zee. Het huisje ligt aan een oude verbindingsweg naar Porta da Cruz. Een kronkelig weggetje, sfeervol omringd door bloemrijke huisjes met kleine 'moestuintjes' en bananenbomen. Vanuit het huisje kun je hele mooie levada - maar ook- bergwandelingen maken, m.n. vanuit Santana. Het zijn echte' high lights'. In Santana kun je meteen je boodschappen halen bij de Continenten, een grote supermarkt. Porta da Cruz is een klein kustdorpje waar je kunt zwemmen, verse broodjes halen en kunt eten met uitzicht op zee. Onze verhuurder (Sietske en Aurelio) zijn zeer gastvrij en willen je graag informeren over Madeira en alle bezienswaardigheden.

Ein angenehmes kleines Ferienhaus mit sehr netten Vermietern
Um zum Haus zu gelangen, muss man einen recht steilen Berg hochlaufen, dafür wird man dann aber auch mit einem wirklich tollen Ausblick auf das Meer von der Terrasse aus belohnt. Zum Frühstücken sehr zu empfehlen! Es ist ein Ort der Ruhe und Erholung, hält alles bereit, was man für den Alltag so benötigt, und viele schöne Wanderwege sind von Porto da Cruz aus sehr gut zu erreichen. Die freundlichen Vermieter Aurelio und Sietske haben uns sehr nett empfangen und haben uns schon vor der Reise sehr geholfen und uns viele gute Tipps gegeben, sodass wir uns gut zurecht gefunden haben. Wir haben unseren Urlaub zu zweit sehr genossen.

Maison fonctionnelle et agréable
En bordure de Porto da cruz , cette maison fonctionnelle propose un lieu calme , accueillant et proche (en voiture) des randonnées ( pico ruivo , levadas le chaudron vert...) . Aurais je oublié de vous parler des propriétaires toujours souriant et prompt à vous prodiguer conseils et propositions de visites. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ces quelques jours apportant encore une nouvelle facette à Madere.
