REMARKS
Cleaning is done before guests check in and then there is a weekly maintenance cleaning, which includes the change of bed linen and towels.
A car is recommended, but there are bus stops nearby.
As the entrance to the parking area and several roads in Madeira have a steep slope and very sharp curves, smaller vehicles with a powerful engine and high ground clearance are recommended. If you have difficulty parking near the house, you can use free parking places in the neighbourhood.
The swimming pool can be heated upon request with extra fee (minimum 5 days). The request to heat the swimming pool must by at least 5 days in advance and will be confirmed with the payment notice. On cold days, the pool heating may not be enough to reach 24ºC. To increase the temperature, it is essential to keep the pool covered at night and when you are not using it.
To take care of the garden and banana field, and for pool maintenance, some authorized workers may access the property periodically.
The house has a security system with video surveillance that is deactivated. There is a video surveillance camera outside near the entrance that does not cover private areas of the house.
