    The house is spacious and has everything one needs for longer stay (including washing machine). It is located in a quiet village, great for anyone who wants to avoid crowd. At the same time shops and nice restaurants are easy to reach from there.

My grandma house , I couldn’t bear the thought of belonging to outsiders, so I bought it, a great big house, all newly renovated in 2017, wishing to host tons of happy guests.
Hello, my name is Maria, a nurse by profession. I love to travel, meet new people, different cultures. Not having the availability to do that, I decided the other best way, was to become a host. So, my project was born! “Maria’s Haven” a place where people would feel safe, relax and be in touch with nature. I want to guarantee the best experience to my guests, and up to now I am proud for the feedback. My goal is to make a difference on people’s vacations.
Great, calm, quite neighborhood, close to local markets, cafés, natural ocean pools, to the twin lagoons Sete Cidades and Canário.
