Amazing Views, Relaxing Stay
Our family had an amazing time in this home in Companario! The pictures did not do the property justice. The views of the ocean and island surrounding us were spectacular! We were situated right at the top of the cliff allowing us to see both sides of the hillside neighborhood, including the beautiful church. We got lucky on our last night and were able to hear the music and celebration from the church along with the nighttime fireworks!
The house itself was gorgeous. The hardwood floors and sliding doors in each room made for a wonderful inside/outside living space with quick access from the deck into each bedroom. There was also easy access to the game room and pool levels from the kitchen and living room areas! The location was perfect and gave us long sun filled days to enjoy the pool.
Access was gated, with the pool on a separate level, which made it easy to ensure the 2 year old would not be able to sneak into the pool or garden unattended,. This was a huge positive and allowed all adults to relax!
The neighborhood is about 20-30 minutes away from Funchal, and even though there are some grocery stores and cafes/restaurants nearby, you need to either take a taxi or rent a car to access it. We wanted a relaxing trip so we didn’t mind needing taxis everywhere, and it worked in our favor because every driver we had was so friendly and helpful and most were able to give us recommendations and even helped arrange private tours for us, so that was a huge win!
