The hosts contacted me a few days before my arrival to offer help and provide information. They were great and very helpful, they were easy to contact if we needed to ask questions. The house was clean and had an amazing view. not far from the airport. The location of the house will be better for those who hired a car as it is up a hill.

Very sweet, clean village with friendly people (but not in-your-face). Lots of bars and restaurants, reasonably priced. Lovely wine, good food and some nice boutiques too. Easy to get to Funchal on buses and there are also plenty of taxis. Its minutes from the airport and planes fly very low overhead but it is spectacular to see without being too noisy. Loved it.

Santa Cruz is a small seaside village at the end of the runway. There are enough cafes and restaurants to keep you occupied along with some nice little parks and a good play ground if you have kids. The weather is just perfect.
