Overall: we had a great time! The house is spacious and offered everything we needed. The only negative aspect was the fact that it wasn't really thoroughly cleaned. Surfaces in the bedrooms were very dusty, behind the bed were hair and dust, the dishes inside the cabinets weren't clean, stuff like that. So we just gave it a goob scrub ourselves and decided to not complain. Everything else is really great, especially the pool, our teenage kids loved it! Pool guy came twice in the 12 days we spent there
Super Lage. Das Mobiliar und die Einrichtung sind aber leider etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Ein paar Bilder an der Wand und ein paar neue Geschirrutensilien wĂŒrden auch nicht schaden.
Wir wurden zum Check In auf 15 Uhr herbestellt - um 14:45 Uhr waren wir vor Ort! Wir wurden auf der StraĂe von einem Herr in âEmpfangâ genommen worden und es hieĂ wir dĂŒrfen in 15 min rein - also haben wir gewartet :) alles ok wir waren ja zu frĂŒh - nach 1 std um genau 15:45 Uhr durften wir dann ins Haus zum Check In, mittlerweile hatten sich die Kinder aus der Langeweile heraus die Umgebung zufuss angeschaut. Nun durfte man eigentlich nur mit mindestens 1 Besuchern ein Check In durchfĂŒhren weil es ja âso vielâ zu erklĂ€ren gibtâŠals mein Vater auf Grund der UmstĂ€nde wegen der langen Wartezeit alleine das Check in durchgefĂŒhrt hat hielt der Mann mein Vater wĂ€hrend des Check ins fĂŒr âscheinbar seehe blödâ nach dem Check und waren wir ĂŒber die Sauberkeit,die alten defekten Möbel. Und Schimmel in den Schlafzimmer sehr traurig ĂŒber diese Derienwohnung. Wir wĂŒrden es nicht wieder buchen!
Alles in allem ein schönes Ferienhaus mit einem super Blick aufs Meer. Die Kommunikation sowie der Empfang am Haus geht nicht besser. Die Reinigung des Hauses nach einer Woche Aufenthalt ist schon ein groĂer Luxus. Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt sind die uralten Zeitungen und Prospekte sowie die doch recht "vermĂŒllten" AuszĂŒge im Wohnzimmer. Wir hatten trotzdem eine schöne Zeit. Vielen Dank an Herrn Hansen.
We really enjoyed our stay, peaceful area with beautiful views and watching the sunset over dinner, was amazing. Had everything we needed and we will definitely be retuning.
- tolle Terrasse mit Meerblick, schattiger Sitzecke und Pool
- 3 Schlafzimmer mit jeweils eigenem Bad
- FeWo wie auf den Fotos abgebildet
- super Lage, um mit dem Mietwagen die Insel zu erkunden
- gute Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter
Wir hatten zwei tolle Wochen in Calheta. Der Ort war der perfekte Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr unsere Touren.
Wir haben die Aussicht von der Terrasse sehr genossen und konnten gut entspannen. Die Kinder haben gern im Pool gebadet.
Das Haus ist sehr einfach eingerichtet und mein Mann musste zwei, dreimal ein paar Dinge reparieren (WC SpĂŒlung und FensterlĂ€den, auch die Waschmaschine lieĂ sich nur mit einem Trick öffnen).
Die Sauberkeit war in manchen Zimmern ok, in anderen haben wir nachgeputzt.
Ansonsten gab es alles, was wir brauchten und nach einer Woche kam eine Putzfrau und auch der Pool wurde zwischendurch gereinigt.
Insgesamt ein schöner Urlaub, den wir als Familie jede Minute geschÀtzt haben :)
Our family choose this rental for its high rating and beautiful views. We felt safe in this home. Our meeting with the agent was off putting since he was worried we were "party people" from the USA. I assured him we would take care of the home as it were our own. The views were in fact beautiful but could only be seen on the outside if standing or on the second floor. You could not keep the windows open for fresh air without the shutters, therefore, there wasn't much of a view. The home did come with ac but we were told we didn't need it, which we did. The garden was overgrown providing a breading ground for lizards. We couldn't keep doors/ windows open on the ground floor because lizards would swarm the home. We have family in Maderia, who have advised that if the property was properly manicured there wouldn't have been a problem with the lizards entering the home. AC is a must you could not leave doors and windows open. Upon entering the home at first glance the home seemed nice. We soon realized how unclean and neglected the home was and we immediately reached out to have the home properly cleaned. We have pictures to show that the home was not properly cleaned 4 days prior to our stay as the agent had assured us. We paid out of pocket for this expense and was never offered a refund. The agent showed up unannounced to drop off a working vacuum. The beds were awful, not enough pillows. Linens were not clean. Would never recommend staying here.
The location was perfect. The house is big and has everything you need for a vacation. The pool was fantastic. The house could be cleaner but nevertheless it was a great stay!
Excellent spacious house very comfortable, large windows to let in light and well equipped. There were 5 of us and it was ideal. Maybe supply extra pillows. Highly recommended. Would definitely book Casa Iva again.
Schönes Haus in guter Lage mit kleinen Fehlern. SpĂŒlmaschine pumpt nicht ab, Ablauf stark verschmutzt. Backofen und Sieb der Abzugshaube sehr schmutzig. Verwalter reagiert schnell und grĂŒndlich. Danach alles prima, bis aufs Wetter.
The booking process was a very nice experience. As soon as the booking got confirmed I was contacted by the host with the arrival logistics and contact details. That was very helpfull.
Despite our late arrival everything worked out as described and agreed.
The property is located in a proximity (considering Madeira standards) of the main road, store and a pub. That was very much appreciated during our stay.
The property matches the pictures presented. It offers a lot of space for the guests. The garden and the pool were an excellent add-on when staying there especially during summer.
The rooms may require some maintenance and small repairs, but there was nothing that made our stay uncomfortable or difficult. It was just that you could see there was a leakage and some repairs should be done.
The property was equipped with everything we needed for the stay and the host was accessible throughout our stay in case we needed any help.
Good value received for the money we paid! I recommend!
My name is Jan Hansen and I'm from Denmark and the property manager of CASA IVA and I have lived here in Madeira for over 30 years and I think it is the best place in Europe. No winter, not too hot summers, safe, very little crime, beautiful nature with fantastic mountains, good food, not too crowded with tourists and we can swim in the pool or in the sea all year round, what more do you want in life !
CASA IVA house is situated in Calheta a quiet country side location in one of the warmest south coast places in Madeira on a road with hardly any traffic with fantastic sea views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
