Golden Moon, Ponta do Sol

I can definitely recommend this apartment overall. I find the location to be great, as you are quite close to the mountains (if you’re there, definitely try to catch a nice sunrise at Bica da Cana, as it’s just a 20 min drive) and you have very nice views (the best view is when you open the window in the bathroom :D, you can observe beautiful sunsets there), located in a quite small, non-touristy village, but with everything you need, and one of the best restaurants on the whole island (for us it was definitely the best food experience we had during the week there) just downstairs. The amenities and equipment itself is also very nice, you have everything you need, and if you don’t, you can just contact the hosts. We didn’t really get in touch with them apart from the check-in, but even during these 5 minutes we could see, that they would do everything for you :) The apartment also has heating (which will be very useful, more on that in the negatives..) and there is a parking spot reserved outside. You will also be gifted a very nice surprise before you leave :) TLDR; for the price, it is basically unbeatable. It is really nice and comfortable, and the value for money is crazy good.

We were there the first week of May this year, and it was COLD and damp there. You have a heating, but through an AC unit in the bedroom, we literally had to have this turned on all the time we were at the apartment. As soon as you turn it off, it gets cold very quick, because the windows do not isolate at all. Once it got windy, it was crazy how draughty it was. And although the apartment was veeery clean, you will see a few bugs and insects inside (ants, small flies, moths, …), probably because of the dampness too. It felt like there was 100% humidity, especially in the bathroom, where the walls were covered with moisture all the time. We ended up leaving our towels in the bedroom overnight hanging on the wardrobe doors, so they dried a bit better with the blowing air from the AC unit. But the host will mention it themselves, that you can always ask for new towels :)

It was pleasure spend whole week there. We highly recommend. Perfect location during spring time (march) - weather conditions. Our host was really kind. The apartment was thoughtfully equipped and very cozy. Thank you for everything.

Die Unterkunft hat alles was man braucht, vor allem die Küchenausstattung ist super. Sie liegt relativ weit oben, was einem aber eine schöne Aussicht beschert und auch den Weg in die Berge zum Wandern verkürzt. Die Gastgeber sind unkompliziert, nett und zuvorkommend. Die Unterkunft hat auch eine Heizung, was gerade auf Madeira wegen der generellen Feuchtigkeit super ist. Einen Parkplatz gibt es auch. Das Restaurant unter dem Apartment ist ebenfalls super und zu empfehlen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Sympathische Wohnung im südlichen Teil der Insel, unweit der berühmten Straße der fünfundzwanzig Wasserfälle. Die Küche ist mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet. Bei unserer Ankunft erwarteten uns eine Flasche Wasser und eine Obstschale. Nur wenige Schritte entfernt befindet sich ein Lebensmittelgeschäft. In der Nähe gibt es ein Restaurant, das den Schlaf überhaupt nicht stört. Ausgezeichneter Friseursalon, der der Gastgeberin gehört. Der Gastgeber spricht Englisch. Hinweis: Auf Madeira werden Karten häufig nicht akzeptiert. Es ist gut, Bargeld dabei zu haben. Wir sind sehr zufrieden.
