I have a Madeiran heritage that spans generations. After being away for a while, I'm back and feeling more connected to this island than ever. There's something truly magical about Madeira that I love sharing with visitors. I'm all about promoting and preserving what makes this place and its people special. I might not be a certified travel advisor, but I’m pretty sure I can provide you with tips and suggestions on places to visit, where to eat, local cuisine, activities, and more. With deep knowledge of Madeira Island and extensive experience working with hundreds (if not thousands) of tourists over the years, I’m here to help you make the most of your visit. This is what makes me proud. This is what makes me happy =) So, come on, let's explore! Hi my name is Marco. And you are?...

Guest access We know our guests value their privacy, which is why we offer a secure self-check-in option via a lockbox. If you prefer a more discreet arrival, there's no need to meet in person—though I’m always happy to assist if needed. The lockbox code and full check-in instructions will be sent to you early morning on the day of arrival, so you can settle in at your own pace. If you’re arriving by car, a free and private parking space will be available just in front of the house - next to the road and beside a small garden. Interaction with guests I respect each guest’s preferences—whether you’d enjoy a friendly welcome in person or prefer a more private experience. I’m always happy to help during your stay and just a message or call away if you need anything. For added flexibility, self-check-in is available via a secure lockbox. Once your reservation is confirmed, I’ll share my personal contact number in case you have any questions or doubts before or during your visit. Surroundings Within walking distance from the house, you'll find a coffee place with a esplanade—a perfect spot to enjoy a cup of their renowned "Poncha" (a traditional local drink). Just a 2-minute drive away, there’s another coffee shop and a convenient grocery store. Nearby, you can dine in one of the island’s oldest restaurants, try their delicious local cuisine and admire the beautiful gardens. For all your shopping needs, a supermarket is just a 10-minute drive away, along with a wide selection of restaurants, pharmacies, bakeries, and attractions. Points of interest Standing at 400 meters above sea level, the views in every direction are stunning. It's just a 5-minute walk to a beautiful belvedere and a 5-minute drive to the beach and a go-kart track. Driving a bit further, you'll discover various viewpoints and popular trails like Levada dos Balcões, Penha D'Águia, Levada do Castelejo, and Queimadas/Caldeirão Verde.
