This was an amazing property and area. The host Paula was so accommodating and very responsive whenever we had a question. I can't say enough about how beautiful São Vicente is. Perfect spot with plenty of restaurants and a grocery store for all your needs.

Great communication from the owner. Missing a few conveniences that would have been a nice touch (coffee pods, extra toilet paper, soap etc). Other than that the location was perfect. Right above a cool bar that wasn’t noisy at all. Slept with an open window and the sounds of the ocean waves.
It was clean, beds were comfy. Paula was welcoming and she messaged to ensure we were alright and recommended some activities. The apartment is right next to a bar, if you have trouble sleeping, you might struggle a little. The restaurant next door is very nice, cofee and cakes are delicious. There is a supermarket 2 minutes away from the flat, where you can buy everything you need.
We visited in June and kept the window open all day to ensure the flat would be cool. I'd definetly come back.

The property is located in a wonderful area. The views were beautiful. What I didn’t like about this property is that it was dirty. The towels were dirty the bathroom was dirty the kitchen was dirty the floors were filthy. This property is also located above a bar that had people hanging out until four am. They were screaming and yelling. I would not recommend this place if you want to have a peaceful stay.

L'appartamento si affaccia sul mare in un posto meraviglioso. Locali dove mangiare a portata di mano. L'unica pecca e che non era estremamente pulito.

Hébergement correct super bien placé sur le front de mer mais malheureusement le logement est très mal isolé (beaucoup de bruit et lumière le matin). Le logement est également vieillissant et pas super propre.

Posizione buona se si è al nord... Casetta vista mare che è la cosa più bella...
Nelle vicinanze ci sono ristoranti bar e supermercato, in cui vengono anche le persone dei paesi vicini.
La host super gentile e disponibile 👍
Pulizia nella media, qualche asciugamano in più e carta igienica in più sarebbe meglio.
Peccato che non c'è un terrazzino negli appartamenti 2-3..
L'interno potrebbe essere mantenuto meglio, la tinta dai muri che si scrostava probabilmente per sale e muffa..
Preparatevi a sentire musica e urla fino a tardi dal bar di sotto (fino all'1/2 di notte almeno)
Per quello che abbiamo pagato comunque è stato molto buono!

Mau
Quartos e WC com pó e cabelos no chão.
Falta de manutenção do alojamento (paredes com humidade e a descascar).
Muito barulho (música e clientes) proveniente da Adega que se situa por baixo do alojamento, até altas horas da noite.
Não é bom para quem quer descansar.

The apartment is spacious, bright and airy (many windows), in a renovated house with character. The apartment was clean, the kitchen was well equipped for simple meals. The bar downstairs serves a good poncha. Staying here in August, we were able to swim at the beach across the street.
Although this is a remote and quiet part of Madeira, the street outside is quite busy with a mix of locals and tourists and together with crashing waves, it can get noisy. We slept quite well nevertheless.
Die Unterkunft ist schoen gelegen, geraeumig und sauber.
Es hat einiges an Ausstattung gefehlt - z.B. Haken im Badezimmer, eine Pfanne, eventuell eine Kaffeemaschine (allerdings konnte man unten sehr guten coffee to go kaufen).
Insgesamt zu empfehlen, wenn man ein wenig abseits der Touristenstroeme wohnen moechte.
