“Clean well stocked apartment”
+Very clean and well stocked apartment with a large terrace off the main bedroom. Very nice host and on site parking.
−Quirky layout with kitchen, bath and small bedroom (no window) on the ground floor, a small sitting area upstairs then a very spacious main bedroom a few more stairs up. Sort of awkward but worked ok for us since it was just two of us. Lots of mosquitoes so had to keep the doors and windows closed with AC on and use bug repellent. A long uphill walk from the old town and beach so mostly drove back and forth.

+Nice host, good location to explore the area, parking spot, spacious master bedroom and a large terrace to relax, garden, great pizzeria next door.
−The shower was full of mold, the sheets in one of the bedrooms were dirty, there was a strong smell of humidity in downstairs bedrooms and upstairs closets, noisy roundabout just outside of the property, price too high for the quality of the accommodation.

“Perfect location in beautiful surroundings”
+We had the most wonderful stay in Casa de Avo and were very sad to leave it. The location is perfect, beautiful surroundings and walking distance from the centre of Machico. There are two big supermarkets about 15 mins walk away as well as local bakery with fresh baked goods and cakes just 2 mins walk away. It is a perfect location for hiking with lots of hikes that can be even started in Machico, while others just short drives away. Dulce was a lovely and welcoming host and the house itself is well equipped, kitchen has every utensil that can think of. Wonderful stay and hope to be back at some point!

“Feels like home”
+Dulce welcomed us upon arrival with fresh fruit from her garden and local food and drinks. The house has everything you need for your stay, from a coffee machine, toaster, microwave... It is located in a quiet area with free parking in front of the house. Upstairs, there is a large bedroom with access to a balcony where you can enjoy the peace and the view of the city in the evening. The rooms are equipped with big wardrobes, so there is plenty of space to store your belongings, and the beds are comfortable. Just 20 meters from the house is Pizzeria Alforno, so when you don’t feel like cooking, you can go for a really good pizza. Throughout our stay, Dulce was available and always ready to help (which means a lot when you are far from home). There really wasn’t anything we were missing. If we ever return to Madeira, this is where we would want to stay again.

“Mooie plek, lieve host, goede centrale plek.”
+De gastvrouw was superlief en zorgzaam, we kregen ook banaantjes van hun eigen teelt. De grote slaapkamer was heel fijn, licht en ruim, en het balkon was erg prettig. Voor de kinderen waren er 3 losse bedden, wat zij erg fijn vonden. Het stadje Machico was leuk, sfeervol met een heel mooi pleintje met romantische terassen. Het strand was ook fijn, de mensen waren heel vriendelijk en de parasolhuur was enorm goedkoop. Het strand was school en de zee was ook prettig (ook met kleine kinderen).
−Het was jammer dat het balkon niet bij de keuken was, het was niet gemakkelijk om buiten te eten, omdat je dan met de pannen door de slaapkamer moest. Wat een beetje tegenviel, was dat de regen iets meer blijft hangen in dit stuk van het eiland. We zaten (voor dit verblijf) ook enkele dagen ten westen van Funchal, en daar was het veel zonniger. Let op voor lange mensen: het aanrecht is heel laag en er is geen vaatwasser. Wij hadden er wel een beetje last van, bij koken en afwassen (wij zijn 1.80 en 1.90)
