The Goat's Place

Jorge and Antonio were the friendliest, loveliest most accomodating hosts we could have asked for. We had flights back to the UK cancelled TWICE on us on the 9th June (stay away from EasyJet when flying to Madeira, they were the only airline cancelling flights due to high winds over the two days we were in the airport....every other airline were landing and taking off. Apparently to fly into Funchal pilots need specialist training to land when the winds are high, if the winds are high and pilot does not have this training the flight will be redirected and therefore cancelled) and needed somewhere to stay over night waiting for our replacement flight. Jorge made us welcome from the start and showed us around their beautiful house and introduced us to their chickens, giant tortoise and goat and even invited us to have dinner with them and their friends. Having had two flights cancelled on that day we just wanted to decompress from the stress of it all and have a beer and some food to chill and Jorge was very sympathetic and nothing was too much for them. Jorge even gave us a lift back to the airport the next day early in the morning! Beautiful home and wonderful people, thank you Jorge and Antonio you're care was exactly what we needed after a horrific day and you put smiles back on our faces! MUITO OBRIGADO

An absolutely wonderful place to stay with the kindest hosts in the world! Antonio and Jorge gave us so many helpful tips, were always incredibly welcoming and ready to help with anything, and made us feel completely at home from the very first moment. Everything felt warm, relaxed, and genuine. If they would let us, we would happily move in and stay forever :) Highly recommended!

Absolutely the best stay we could imagine. The place is beautiful, with a huge garden, cute animals, and such a peaceful atmosphere. The room was spotless, super comfortable, and had an incredible view. The location was perfect for exploring the island - honestly couldn’t have been better. But above all, the hosts made this experience truly unforgettable. We felt like we were staying at friends’ place rather than at an accommodation. They gave us amazing tips and recommendations, prepared fresh bread every morning, and provided delicious fresh eggs. Their hospitality made the whole stay so special. I honestly cannot imagine a better place to stay and would recommend it 1000%.
