Vacations in the countryside - Casinha dos Canhas
Country house with two floors, ideal for those seeking a vacation destination in a rural atmosphere. On the entrance floor of this typically Madeiran house, you will find an open-plan living and dining room, access to the kitchen, and a suite with a double bed, private bathroom with shower, and a single sofa bed. Access to the upper floor is via a spiral staircase. On this level, there is an office area, a bathroom with shower, and a bedroom with two single beds, which gives access to a nice balcony.
The architecture and stone walls are typical of the area, making the rural experience even more authentic. The quiet atmosphere allows you to enjoy the chirping of birds in a private grass garden. The outdoor dining area connects to a cultivated area with fruit trees accessible to guests, including vines, lemon, anone, and tangerine trees, as well as yams, spinach, and other plants and flowers.

Feels like home
Big estate in a quiet village with a beautiful view over the ocean. The house is filled with everything you need. Especcially the comfortable hammock was in daily use. At the middle of the stay we got new towels and a quick cleaning of the house. The contact to the team was very easy and without of any complications

Stylish house with all amenities
The check-in was unproblematic and very friendly. The house is very quiet. A small supermarket and a bar are nearby. The kitchen and house are well equipped. Everything you need is there. This accommodation is ideal as a starting point for beautiful hikes in the west of the island.

Mould in the bathroom
Unfortunately there was a humidity problem which caused mould and made running a machine to draw the humidity out necessary that was a bit loud in the night

Très mauvaise expérience
Logement pas du tout à 6 min de la plage de ponta do sol comme indiqué sur Abritel.C’est Très difficile d’accès, les pentes sont tellement raides (15/20%) qu’il vaut mieux éviter les véhicules peu puissantsEnsuite la manœuvre pour rentrer votre véhicule dans l’allée au milieu du pente très raide avec une bosse est délicate et ensuite il faut rentrer le véhicule dans la propriété et c’est une tannée vu l’étroitesse des rues et que le voisin refuse de baisser sa chaîne en face du portail qui faciliterait la manœuvre).La maison n’est Pas très fourni en ustensilesLa hotte et le tiroir de la cuisine sont cassés et n’ont pas été réparés pendant notre séjourLes gérants, an island apart, n’ont absolument rien fait et ont en outre refusé de nous dédommager au regard des préjudices subis.Il n’y a Pas de transats pour se reposerLe BBQ n’est pas du tout accessible.Les canapés sentent l’humiditéL’environnement est pauvre en activités,les gens du coin paraissent peu aimables (cf le voisin qui se fiche d’aider une famille qui veut rentrer le véhicule dans l’allée, ils nous a laissés galèrer en nous regardant faire à plusieurs reprises, une sorte de spectacle pour lui).En outre à plusieurs reprises il y’a eu des feux de bois qui sentaient les produits chimiques.Ma Compagne est partie courir elle a fait demi tour au bout de 500m face à trois chiens errants agressifs.Pas du tout à la hauteur de sa réputation.Je ne recommande pas
Notre expérience de location n'a malheureusement pas été à la hauteur de nos attentes, basées sur la description annoncée.* **Accès et localisation :** L'accès au logement est très difficile. La route est extrêmement pentue, déconseillée aux véhicules peu puissants. La manœuvre pour entrer dans la propriété est complexe en raison de la pente, d'un dos-d'âne et de l'étroitesse de la voie. Contrairement à l'annonce, la plage de Ponta do Sol n'est pas accessible en 6 minutes mais en 20 min. * **État du logement et équipements :** L'équipement de la cuisine est assez limité pour le nombre de personnes que la maison peut accueillir. Nous avons constaté que certains éléments étaient endommagés (la hotte aspirante et un tiroir de la cuisine) et ils n'ont pas été réparés pendant notre séjour. Le mobilier de jardin (transats) mentionné ou attendu pour une location de cette gamme était absent. Le barbecue était difficile d'accès et nous n'avons pas pu l'utiliser. Une odeur persistante d'humidité se dégageait des canapés.* **Gestion et communication :** Le gestionnaire, "An Island Apart", a été informé de ces désagréments mais aucune solution ou compensation n'a été proposée durant notre séjour pour améliorer la situation.* **Environnement :** L'environnement immédiat est très calme, mais assez isolé avec peu d'activités à proximité sans voiture. Nous avons été incommodés à plusieurs reprises par des fumées odorantes provenant de feux aux alentours.
Wer gerne Urlaub bei der einheimischen Bevölkerung macht und seine Ruhe sucht ist dort richtig. Man ist aber auch schnell auf der ER 101 und kommt überall hin auf der Insel.
Uns hat es richtig gut gefallen und wir können es nur empfehlen.

Alojamiento encantador
Perfecto alojamiento para vivir la verdadera experiencia de Madeira.
Muy confortable, silencioso para el descanso y con maravillosas vistas. Al no estar cerca de centro urbanos, se aprecian perfectamente las estrellas.
Tiene todo lo necesario para tu estancia y aparcamiento en el propio alojamiento.
