PAUL & NELSON
We speak French - Portuguese - A few words of English -OUR ESTABLISHMENT NO LONGER WELCOME CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE. We bought our house Docevida with the main objective of sharing our spaces in guest rooms. A guest room is a homestay, and not a hotel. We have taken special care to keep an "eye" of "visitors (customers)" when making our choice. We did not hesitate to choose a slightly "isolated" location to guarantee the tranquility of our visitors, with sea view gardens and several relaxation areas, all without any overlooked or immediate neighborhood. Surrounded by laurel forests and vineyards. We have completely refurbished our two bedrooms to meet current requirements, new quality bedding, television, fiber optic wifi and acoustic insulation of the connecting walls of the 2 bedrooms. Our rooms are 12m2 in addition to the bathroom (shower and toilet). We only rent 2 rooms. Also shared spaces, including a fully equipped barbecue which also serves as an open kitchen, where all our breakfasts are taken. The space is ideally located to spend moments of calm and tranquility and is perfectly suited to teleworking. The two bedrooms have a private and independent entrance on the ground floor. Our animals (2 small dogs, a cat) live freely on the property, but they are strictly prohibited in rooms. The drought in 2023 has caused a very strong invasion of ants throughout the island, to avoid their visits to the rooms, we strongly advise against any insertion of food or food waste or empty cans in the rooms, a small dining area is installed in front each room for your small snacks, and several other spaces still in the property. The climate requires constant ventilation of the rooms, thank you. Reception never before 2 p.m., departures 11 a.m. Never put positive comments on the little smiley :-( negative!
We speak French - Portuguese - A few words of English - OUR ESTABLISHMENT NO LONGER ACCEPTS CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS OLD. We are both former self-employed in a service company, we are keen to share our spaces but also our experiences and knowledge of the island, even if we always have a lot to discover and learn about it! Our space is a real homestay, which assures you of a regular presence of your hosts in discretion. We take real pleasure in guiding our visitors with practical advice on the customs and traditions of the inhabitants of the island and we are happy to advise on the organization of your days. And to top it all off, as the rooms are offered with breakfast included, we like to prepare the eggs for your breakfast ourselves on request. Never put positive comments with the little smiley :-( negative! Bread is never delivered to the house before 8am, if you plan to leave before 8am please notify us 24 hours in advance so that we can organize to prepare your takeaway breakfast before 8am. The service is offered to you free of charge once per stay, please inquire about the cost of renewing the service with us. When expressing your notes and comments, be sure to specify the improvements you expect for your notes below 10, in the absence of details, your notes will only have the effect of penalizing us without giving it a constructive, relevant effect also desired by booking, and not followed by effects, that is, without great productive interests.
The property is located in the Madeira laurisilva forest protected by UNESCO. A fairly busy promenade in summer is just behind at the bottom of the garden. Access to the sea can be done on foot or by car, in 25 minutes on foot, pebble beach only. Several nearby restaurants, one of which can be reached within a 20-minute walk. The others are between 18 and 15 minutes from the property by car. The small village of Boaventura opposite the valley offers a restaurant service, a laundromat, a pharmacy, a new grocery store and several bars. Car rental is highly recommended or ask for our private car service. Most of the walks are located in our region, including the lava caves that have just reopened. We are less than 40 minutes from the natural pools of Porto Moniz. Never put positive comments with the little smiley :-( negative! Car rental is strongly recommended. Access to the house is via a small sloping tarmac country road (+/- 30%) with a free parking space at the end of the road, be sure to inform your companion
