    Property is located in a great location, close to grocery stores, restaurants and the Machico beach and easy access off the highway. Our stay was perfect and Dina was a great host, answering our questions about various activities around town.

This is where one will experience comfort and peace with a taste of luxury. All beds are converted from single to large queen size beds. you will never ever run out of hot water we have made sure of that! Based in the heart of machico and nothing is farther than A comfortable walking distance, whether its to the supermarket, restaurants or beach . Our garage is large enough to store all sports or camping equipment should you need storage space. The kitchen is completely prepared to cook a full house meal or breakfast etc. Come and experience this House as a family or a group.
Hi ,I am extremely easy to approach and talk to. You will always see me smile. I prefer to speak in English as I am South African by birth.But Google Translator is my next best friend. I will do my best to make you feel comfortable and at ease with your holiday. Any issues or questions I am a phone call away. It is my pleasure to host your stay here at Grannies House. Kindest regards Dina de Freitas
Our village is very peaceful. One can walk the promenade at the beach or stroll the streets in complete freedom anytime of the day or night. That is what I love the most of our village. Machico is a village that often has some form of entertainment happening. It may be a sports event , a celebrity visit, a historical memoir, or just for fun. We have had the Enduro World Mountain Bike series held in our Village hosted by Ludens Machico Sports Club. Our World Known event MUIT brings in guests from all walks of life to do this challenging walk/run/climb that is roughly 116kms of mountainous terrain. Machico is a beautiful place to bring family and friends.
