Madeira holiday
We stayed for the first time on Madeira in Casa do Gabriel. We had a fantastic time. Madeira is beautiful with one week not being near enough to explore and do all the things Madeira offers. Our choice of Casa do Gabriel to stay in was an inspired choice. The house is fabulous, well equipped, comfortable, well located, private, clean, lovely hostess, fab garden with fruit we were allowed to pick! We loved everything about our accommodation and our stay in Madeira.

Disappointing
There were many things that were good about this property but some things let it down. The ping pong table was broken ( owner apologised & said she'd forgotten to mention it) we could not get into the garage, front door lock was broken, staining on pillow & bed cover in second bedroom ( owner apologised, said it was an oversight by the cleaners!) No hair dryer, upstairs seating area, swing was not clean. There is a photo on the web page showing a sun lounger but this area is now overgrown! However, we loved the island, had a fabulous tour with Hit The Road Tours, highly recommended. We had hired a car & saw what this beautiful island has to offer. We shall return but not to this property...

Relaxing stay.
My wife and I had a great stay at Casa do Gabriel. It was very comfortable and clean. Well stocked kitchen, including a powerful blender to make my morning smoothies. The welcome basket was greatly appreciated. We hope to return again for another stay on this beautiful island

Glad it was the last leg of our Portugal Trip.
We spent 3 weeks in Portugal - Lisbon, Sintra, Coimbra, Porto and then finished our trip in Madeira - best decision EVER. We were really busy on the mainland - what we call 'travelling': seeing sites, busy crowds, larger cities - busy days and nights. We flew out for the last 6 days of our trip and this was our 'Vacation'. Fantastic and beautiful location. The moment we walked in we pulled back the drapes and opened the windows - and didn't close them until we left. The view to the ocean was spectacular and so very, very peaceful. I spent three solid days on the patio reading and relaxing and many times just sitting in peace, watching the birds, butterflies, honey bees and lizards do their thing. The garden is beautiful with many different flowers - the angel bells were my favorite and smelled incredible. The house was clean and had the basics that we needed. We found a mercado and stocked up on simple foods - cheese, jamon, sparkling water, and other snacks - it was all we needed. The owners were very responsive and gracious. We were able to catch up on laundry and had racks to easily dry them outside. Coffee pot, microwave, fridge, stove, dishes and cutlery - everything we needed. They left a nice basket with wine, bread, jam and other goodies. We live in California and if we come back, will again spend a long week on Madeira - the island is beautiful - tropical and reminded us of Hawaii but much quieter. The houses are built into the side of the mountain so was hard to find one without a view . The folks there were gracious and helpful. We found out the island has 420 tunnels! Our ride from the airport was 50 minutes and were told before the tunnels were built it would take over 3 hours. We knew there were many beautiful locations and historical sites to check out but this leg we were ready to just decompress. If you're coming don't let the 50 minute drive to the location deter you - you'll be very glad you came out this far and it was super easy to rent a car. Thanks to Irina for a wonderful stay. PS - they had a fascinating library, dvd's and cd's and I read a few of her books while there.

Lovely Madeiran hideaway
Excellent home from home with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Irina was very welcoming and was there to meet us even although it was a late flight. We also appreciated the welcome provisions. The property was spotless and bed very comfortable. The location is quiet and peaceful and only a 5 minute drive to Calheta where there are some restaurants, supermarket and the beach. Plenty space around the house to relax in the sunshine including a lovely roof terrace. There is a bar and a local supermarket within walking distance. The driveway is a bit steep but no problem once you get used to it - best with a smaller car.

A little slice of heaven
This was by far the nicest place we have ever stayed while using homeaway. David was very helpful n the process leading up to our vacation and during our stay. The house was very clean and you couldn't ask for a better view, especially at that price! We really had no complaints and were 100% satisfied with our stay.

Wonderful villa
This villa is a lovely home with everything you could possibly want to make it the perfect place to relax. The terrace is delightful with sunshine all day. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch and supper there whilst e joying the lovely view of the sea The only downside is the steep drive but you do get used to it.

Beautiful house in a beautiful part of Madeira
The property was beautiful. Everything was very clean, comfortable and homely with everything we needed for our stay. For us, the location was perfect, quiet and semi-rural, and a great base for exploring all aspects of the island. The welcome pack was a lovely suprise after a long journey. Thank you!
