We spent few wonderful months in Luis's house. It is so cozy and well equipped. The location was perfect for us because of the privacy and mountains around. Only 5 min to the ocean, 10 - to the nearest mountain path. Luis was responsive and always helpful.
Highly recommend! Will definitely come back one day!

Awesome experience! I had no idea where I was going when I booked this place and when I arrived I couldn't believe how perfect it was. Peace and quiet were on my agenda and I got it there. Absolutely breathtaking views! The home is updated and bright and has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a very comfortable bed. The cherry on the top was the owners. Luis and his mother, Angela, are incredibly sweet and genuine, and were beyond accommodating. And of course, Sasha, the family dog, became my best friend, or I became hers anyway. 😂 I felt like family. I cried when I left after a month. I will return one day for sure!
Neighborhood
The neighbourhood is very rustic with all farms, but also with a good road system. You definitely need a vehicle to get around as buses are very limited. It's up in the mountains so it's very green and lush. The people are incredibly warm and friendly. It's also close to one of best surfing beaches and despite being in the mountains, is not too far from Funchal and other towns.

There are so many beautiful places it's hard to say. What I did was get in my car and just drove. The beach area is quite nice if you want to be with lots of people, restaurants, etc. The Atlantic Ocean is everywhere you look!

We stayed a couple of weeks for smartworking and felt at home.
Luis immediately gave us directions to places to see and where to eat, and as soon as we arrived mum brought us a very good banana helmet.
We'll be back, sure.

We spent 5 perfect days at Refugio da Casinha. The apartment is equipped with everything needed: a complete kitchen, a new bathroom, and a comfortable bed.
Unfortunately, we had rainy days, but there is also a cozy terrace where to have breakfast or dinner :)
The location is really good for visiting the northern part of the island, as well as the south, as Sao Vicente is well connected to Funchal and the south coast.
We highly recommend this relaxing place in Madeira!

For three months, we lived in this cozy place - my girlfriend, our dog, and I are completely satisfied with the apartment. It exceeded all our expectations! Both of us work as programmers, so it was important to have comfortable working conditions. Luis arranged an excellent workspace with two desks and fast internet. I especially want to emphasize that Luis and his family are some of the most hospitable and pleasant people I've ever met! Throughout these three months, we felt at home. Next time we visit Madeira, we will definitely return here!

Mieszkanie, które wynająłem w Sao Vicente, to była idealna baza wypadowa do zwiedzania wyspy z własnym transportem. Mieszkanie było położone w spokojnej okolicy, z przepięknym widokiem. Do centrum Sao Vicente było 5min skuterem.
Mieszkanie było bardzo czyste i schludne. Wszystko działało bez zarzutu, a wyposażenie było w pełni zadowalające. W kuchni znajdowała się lodówka, kuchenka, piekarnik, mikrofalówka, czajnik elektryczny, ekspres kapsułkowy i niezbędne naczynia. Salon i sypialnia w pełni wyposażone (w tym w otwartą szafę, więc nie było problemu z przechowywaniem rzeczy). Metraż mieszkania na dwie osoby w zupełności wystarczający. Do tego taras wyposażony w mały solik, krzesła i parasol. Do użytku mieliśmy również pralkę, która znajduje się w pomieszczeniu ogólnodostępnym.
Kontakt z gospodarzem po angielsku poprzez WhatsAppa, zawsze błyskawicznie odpisywał i można było podpytać o wydarzenia które odbywały się w okolicy. My spędziliśmy tutaj 20dni i postaramy się jeszcze wrócić. Polecam każdemu kto kocha naturę i poszukuje cichego miejsca wypadowego.

Um refúgio no calmo do campo, no meio das vinhas, com acolhimento familiar: é mesmo a felicidade!

Luis is a great guy...proactive and responsive to questions, etc. On his wonderful family's property in a close n'hood of S.V. We rented one of his few units, ours being a tastefully restored palheiro with a well-apportioned, minimalst, modern design. We will definitely rent this flatio unit on our next vit to Madeira! Bonus: they have a very sweet dog, Sasha, and you're welcomed to greet her with a daily dog-treat and take her for long walks ;-)
Neighborhood
Every area of the island and neighborhood on Madeira has its own unique people and energies to them. This one is full of wonderful folks, and they of course all know one another. Have fun, but mind your manners, be respectful of the older folks walking on the streets, and you will be happily welcomed here by all...

We visited Donna Padaria & Confeitaria almost daily...an always-friendly staff, and some of the best, fresh baked goods on the island...some with truly unique recipes! In the same plaza is a small but well-stocked grocery store with extensive butcher and liquor departments, too.

Luís was a great host and the type of host that gives Portugal such a great name. He was easy to communicate with and flexible. The house we stayed in was beautiful and very clean. From the house you could hear birds chirping all day every day, it was so peaceful! And just outside the house, there were vineyards and breathtaking views.
We highly recommend Luis's cabin!
