Pacifichouse

"Carolina was a great host! The place was clean and so peaceful up on the mountain side near the airport. Under 30 min drive to the main trails or Funchal. The only downside is the roads leading up to the property were quite steep and narrow-you definitely have to be a decent driver. Cannot wait to stay there again. "

"The night before I booked the Vrbo as I was flying in from the United States and needed a place to stay for one night before going to the resort. I’m less the 8 hours I found out my plane reservation got switched. I email and asked if I could get at least a portion of my money back and he said no. Eight hours before he had no one, so it wasn’t like I blocked others from coming. I just felt he was rude and not at all flexible."
