We've had a great week on the beautiful Madeira island. Above all, we've enjoyed our pleasant stay at the Casa with Jon & Deb. Services were outstanding, the breakfasts one of the best we've had at B & B's ever.

Lucy is a lovely dog, nice to see the plays with Gizmo.

The Casa is at a beautiful spot.

Thanks to the internet, we found you! Thanks for English speaking "Portugueses". On this trip we could really fresh up our English speaking and of course our walking-training. They say that food is also for your eyes and so are Debb's breakfast and, of course, Jon is involved! Thanks for everything.

PS We think that you are very brave to take unknown people into your house! In the future maybe we start a company all four of us, reindeer meat, cloudberries, rollators, walking sticks and other things could be easy to sell here! And of course you have many things to sell in Lapland! Anne maybe contact you to get ideas for her garden. Rolle say puh!

Dear Jon and Debra. Many thanks for the nice time we had in your home. It was a wonderful place for us to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed our stay very much and in particular the great breakfast! Good to hear all the details about Madeira from you, this helped us to find and see the best places. We like to come back, maybe to celebrate one of our next wedding anniversaries. We hope you will continue the B & B for a long time. Stay happy with Lucy and Gizmo!

With kind regards

Dear Debra and Jon

We had an amazing holiday in "Casa Parsons". The great hospitality, wonderful view from the front garden, the superb breakfast every morning. As we are huge animal lovers, the lovely Lucy and Gizmo were a great bonus!!!

No tip and story was too much (levada walks, restaurants - A Chama, Buon Amici, Bom Jesus ......

We hope to see you again in a couple of years with our son or daughter!

Dear Deb & Jon

This were the best holiday of our lives and you take most of the credit! The beautiful levada walks which we did would not have been possible without the tips and guidance from you and the adventurous dives that we experienced surely were made easier by daily provision of yummy calories in the form of Deb's artistic breakfasts.

We will never forget your lovely family members: Lucy and Gizmo.

You are so passionate people and you love so much this beautiful Island. After this two weeks we also fell in love with this outstanding place!

We hope to see you again some days!
