Vila Afonso | مبيت وإفطار في Estreito de Câmara de Lobos، Portugal

إيجابي: Perfect view

إيجابي: We spent two wonderful weeks in one of the bungalows at Villa Afonso, and I would like to share an honest and detailed review of our stay. Location Villa Afonso is situated on a hillside (as is 99% of everything in Madeira), in the upper part of Câmara de Lobos. The property is surrounded by a banana orchard, vineyards, and lush greenery. From the main patio/terrace in front of the villa, there is a beautiful view of the nearby hills, houses, and the ocean. The Bungalow We stayed in the first, probably slightly smaller bungalow. Both bungalows are located behind the main villa. Ours consisted of a bedroom with a kitchenette, a bathroom, and stairs leading to an upper balcony. From the balcony, you can admire the surrounding villages scattered along the hillsides, with a partial side view of the ocean. There are no windows in the bungalow, but two sets of balcony doors (the entrance and the upper terrace doors) provide sufficient daylight. The furnishings include a TV, wardrobe, chest of drawers, and bedside tables. The kitchenette is fully equipped with a small fridge, microwave, and two electric burners. As for the smell – I agree with some earlier reviews: the scent of old stone is noticeable at first. We solved it easily by buying a scented plug-in, and after that, it was barely perceptible. Insects – I was worried after reading some reviews and even brought insect spray, but we never had to use it. We didn’t encounter any issues at all. Towels can be changed freely whenever needed. Breakfast The continental breakfast was more than enough for us. Every morning there were three types of bread, two kinds of cold cuts, cheese, several kinds of yoghurts, cereals, jam portions, butter, delicious fruit salad, vegetables, dried dates or prunes, and eggs (either hard-boiled or scrambled). Each day also included either cake or cookies. Of course, there was also juice, a selection of teas, and freshly ground coffee from the machine.

سلبي: Just two small things could be improved: the pillows could be replaced with new ones, and the shower curtain would benefit from an update.

إيجابي: Amazing location and a view! Very cosy, small place. Beautiful breakfast spot. The property has private parking. Very nice host with great information.

سلبي: You live basically in garden so the bugs are part of experience. A small dustpan under the sink to clean the bugs would have been perfect.

إيجابي: A great location, the terrace view was a spectacular addition to the breakfast.
