As we step into Casa da Julia e Alice, soon we realize what a true home is made of. It is composed of harmony, comfort, small nooks, cosy blankets, hot tea, and a very home away from home environment. Decorated by a Madeiran architect, Sara Luís Gomes, combines a contemporary décor with natural materials, where the elements of wood, rattan, and linen offer the feeling of warmth and the smell of cosiness. As we go through the property, it is clear that there was a great concern in the details and selection of the materials, colours, and textures, in order to provide their guest an experience of serenity and exploitation of the five senses.
This accommodation stands out for the several nooks and reading corners throughout the house, in the bedrooms, living room, balconies, and kitchen. Their guest will create memories, peals of laughter, strengthen relationships, or a long evening of chatting away.
The apartment is 100 m2 and comprises two bedrooms, a living room with a dining table, kitchen, two bathrooms, and balconies. It is equipped with a refrigerator, washer, dishwasher, stovetop, oven, microwave, coffee machine, and other utensils, as well as bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi, TV with international and children’s channels, and other amenities to provide a pleasant and relaxed stay.
