Madeira
Some seven hundred kilometres west of the African coast, Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island, lapped by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The first island to be discovered by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture, history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities, added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops, shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a thoroughly modern atmosphere.

Casa Petronella
This was a fabulous villa and we enjoyed our stay immensely! We were not far from bus stops, so it was easy to get to Funchal, and we were within walking distance of a Continente. The space was lovely and inviting. There were only minor inconveniences - there was no toilet paper rolls or hand soap anywhere, and several of the 5 bathrooms ran out the first day. We picked some up at the supermercado. Nice views from the yard also.

Casa Petronella - reccommended for most persons
We had a very mixed party staying of all ages. Really liked the seperate area on the ground floor (like an annexe) so that mum could have her own space away from others to be allowed to rest. The lower ground floor activity room is great. Lovely help from the owners whenever it was requested.

Fantastic house
The house was incredible with everything you could need and very comfortable which made for an amazing Christmas. It’s around a 40 minute walk into Funchal but there’s a bus stop a 5 minute walk, taxis back are around €9 which is definitely worth it as I wouldn’t want to walk back up that hill! There’s a supermarket & shops around a 10 minute walk. Funchal was amazing over Christmas with spectacular lights and a lovely atmosphere. The only minor downside to the house is the road noise, but with the windows closed you can hardly hear it and it wouldn’t put us off staying here again. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!

Great villa, great survice
We were 10 familymembers from the age of 9-72. Everyone had a great time in villa Petronella. We used the transfer service and the driver had arranged for Petronella to be there when we arrived. It was worth the prize. The heated pool was worth every euro. The kids spent hours in there enjoying themselves. We also used the car hire arranged by ourmadeira. Great service from them too. The only thing for some of us was that the matresses are very hard and my back was a bit sore every morning. But apart from that, our 12 night stay was wonderful:)

Great villa
8 of us (4 adults and 4 children) just spent a week in Casa Petronella. We had a great time, the villa is very clean and well appointed and has pretty much everything you need. Petronella welcomed us on arrival and showed us round. She was very welcoming and had a lot of information about the villa and the local area. She also told us to call her anytime if we needed anything. The villa is a little way out of the centre of Funchal which is a 30 min max walk (we didn’t hire a car), but it’s all down hill and gives you a chance to see and appreciate the local area. We never attempted to walk back up as there are loads of cabs which cost about €10 (however most cab drivers didn’t seem to know where the villa was so make sure you know the address). There is a great supermarket less than 10min walk which has everything you need, they have a great bakery and butchers and everything is reasonably price. Overall we had a lovely stay, the villa is in a lovely quiet location with stunning views and don’t be put off with it being near the main road as you cannot hear it. I would recommend this villa to any groups looking for an out of town relaxing location and a good base to explore the beautiful island.

An amazing house ! Larger then its seens on the photos. Petronella took good care of ! Love it !
We had a wonderful stay in Casa Petronella. We celebrate my birthday and was 8 adults and 4 children ( 8, 6, 3 and 0 years old).Lots of space and a lovely pool. We get it heat to 26 degrees because it was in february and it was nice and the children could stay very long in the pool. Close to Funchal and beatyful in the evening with all lights on the mountain. We Rent cars and that is nesseserly if you dont want to walk long. Petronella was very helpfull and Madeira amazing. Want to come back soon

Vi var 14 stk i huset, 7 voksne og 7 barn.
Romfordelingen ble vanskelig for oss, da det ene soverommet lå ved siden av rommet med biljardbordet. Der måtte vi lage en kriseløsning som fungerte OK for oss. Vi trivdes godt i huset, ungene storkoste seg i bassenget. Trafikken fra hovedveien hørte vi kun når vi sto ved enden av gjerdet. Bra shoppingsenter som ligger ca 15 minutter fra huset.
