Madeira: Hawaii of the Atlantic
Recensie verstuurd: 14 augustus 2008

Privacy! And views and sunsets from the deck that were astounding. Casa Rochinha is the perfect place for anyone who loves to cook, hike, or explore the nearby beaches and observe the culture and customs of the local people.
The house is spacious with airy light and the yard is full of beautiful flowers and shrubs. Although the television service was not available, we enjoyed the DVD's CD's and information manuals on hiking, history, and flora and fauna of the island which helped us plan each day of our stay.
From the Casa one can easily drive to the northern side of the island through the majestic scenery of the inner mountains and valleys to the lush greenery of the vineyards of Sao Vincente. Funchal is about 30 minutes away, close enough for a day of shopping and wine tasting but far enough away to allow one to immerse in the serenity of the rural lifestyle of this area.
After exploring the many trails and levadas, we enjoyed a refreshing daily dip in the pool, stoked up the "barbie" and mastered our culinary attempts at espada (took two tries but we finally got it got it right). And the whole time we slept like innocent babes.
Madeira is a special place and Casa Rochinha allowed us to appreciate its beauty and charm to the fullest.

Reactie van de eigenaar On Madeira we don't have many visitors from USA (currently based in Germany) so this review with such glowing reports about Casa Rochinha and this beautiful island, is particularly appreciated. To Kathryn and Carl, many thanks from the owners and from the agent, Judith of Island Homes Madeira. We hope to see you back again!
