An excellent stay, combining exploring the northeastern part of Madeira with very accessible hikes and daily yoga practice, including the introduction of aerial yoga. Special mention goes to the meals: everything was surprising and delicious, incredibly varied and colorful. I recommend this trip if you've already been to Madeira or as a starting point for a longer stay. Antoine and Cilène are incredibly attentive hosts.

A fantastic stay with Cilene and Antoine. A perfect mix of exploring the island, hiking, yoga, and the sailing trip was amazing (even the dolphins were there!). The group was great, perfectly balanced. Thank you for everything!
