A Gem of a Villa
This villa was a wonderful choice for 5 friends to spend time in Madeira and to get away from the snow in Canada. The weather in February was a little disappointing but the villa had all amenities to keep us happy. The pool was too cold for us old ones while we were there but would be lovely in warmer, drier weather. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking but we did very little catering for ourselves as we ate out in the restaurants around Madeira. There was plenty of space to spread out and socialize in the common areas.
Udo kept in touch with us on WhatsApp before the trip answering our questions and was at the villa to meet us when we arrived and made us all feel very welcome. There was fresh fruit and drinks as a welcome basket. Udo even gave us a trip around Caniço to show us the shopping areas and restaurants.
Garajau is a short 12 mins ride to Funchal on a fast road. We often used a taxi. With our rental car we explored the whole beautiful island. It is an easy 5 min drive to the motorway from the villa where you can travel all around Madeira island.
The villa is beautiful, gardens neat and colourful. And the view over the Ocean is unbelievable. We had a wonderful time and hope to return in the future to experience more of Madeira and its hospitality. Thanks Udo for making your villa available to us.
