Getting around

To come to São Vicente you should rent a car. This is the most easy way to travel around and visit so many beautiful places that Madeira has to see. If you need I can arrange for you a rental car for very good prices starting from 35€ with all purpose insurance. Just provide me the day, time, and location for pick up and drop off. You pay when you arrive. Very convenient.

“Beautiful peaceful setting.”

Reviewed 9 Oct 2019

Wonderful quiet location, just outside Sao Vicente. The gardens are beautiful. the only thing we heard during the daytime was running water and the sound of children playing in the school some way down the valley. The house is very well equipped and Ema, our host was very friendly and welcoming. Although there were only two of us staying, the house can accommodate larger family parties. Local restaurants are mainly located along the sea front and were good. We had a wonderful, peaceful time here.
