Seafront house | Paul do Mar promenade

It was an amazing months spent in Madeira, with the best view of the ocean and sunset every day!

The house is incredibly cozy. Every inch of the house has been thoughtfully designed. We found everything needed for everyday life: dishes, appliances, home textiles, etc.

The town is small but beautiful. There are several hiking trails nearby, as well as gardens with bananas, mangoes and other fruits.

Alex is just the best landlord! It was a pleasure to be your guest. Thank you for the hospitality! We would be happy to stay at the house again, it felt like a real home to us.

The location is beautiful - not only can you shake hands with the ocean and hear it singing. you to sleep at night, there is an excellent hike minutes from your door that will keep you fit! The home is cosy, clean, and has everything you need to be comfortable. The windows are well placed so you can enjoy fresh air and sunshine. The WIFI is great and will work for anyone doing remote work or wanting to stream Netflix. Alex is the best landlord we've ever had, by miles. He was very patient in answering all my questions before we moved it and really wanted to be sure it was the right place for us. He was an amazing tour guide, showing us some great places on our first day and orientating us to the neighborhood. You can have complete trust in him, which is refreshing and rare. We will visit Paúl do Mar again soon and would stay at Alex's flat anytime!

Sousedství
Very safe neighborhood. It is a sleepy fishing village, so there's really only 1 small shop that has basic toiletries, food supplies, and alcohol. There are produce vans that come about 4 times a week and the vegetables and fruit are very fresh and economical. There are some excellent places to eat in town with nice prices as well. I give it a 6 only because of the limited variety. Even without a car, we could get by, but it might not be comfortable for most people. The bus has very limited routes and times and taxis are quiet expensive (but an easy option to find) to get in and out of Paúl do Mar.

Doporučená místa v okolí
Beach Bar (fresh fish, some vegan food, very relaxed atmosphere), Bar O Ideal (the octopus dish is amazing), Bar de Pescadores (very reasonable prices and has a local experience, good for watching futbol games too). Villa Amour has excellent pastries and nice coffee beverages with probably the best ambience). Bar de Lapas is nice all around and very relaxed, but seating is limited. Calhaus Beach Bar is a place you can sit for a long time without anyone bothering you and have snacks or just a drink.

The perfect house for a beach/surf lifestyle. It is very well equipped, with everything you could possibly need and a 2 second walk from the sea and 2 minute walk to the nearest bars and restaurants - location wise it doesn’t get any better. We do however highly recommend getting a car as there are no real supermarkets in the village and public transport is limited.

Alex is super friendly and will ensure you have a proper Madeiran experience . We left feeling like we had made a friend rather than just met our landlord.

It is a small, chill fishing village with incredibly friendly and welcoming locals. The bars can be lively with live music and dj’s every now and then.

We found the food at O Ideal to be the best in the village. Highly recommended.
