Great property. We stayed for 11 days with family and i would chose it again. The location is not far from motorways going east, west and north. Very easy to explore the island from here. Ribeira Brava has a lovely black sand beach, very easy to get to by car. If you want to leave the car at home for the day, you can easily book a Bolt as well and be at the beach in less than 10 minutes.

Amazing views

This was a great property located at the halfway point of the island so easy to explore either side. Close to a lovely beach and easy sea bathing with lots of shops too. The roads are steep but then they are anywhere in Madeira. Certainly a good workout if you decide to go walking on the numerous paths.

Absolutely stunning!

The property was beautiful. Had everything we needed. Games room was good, pool was good, location was stunning! That view……blew me away. Had never been to Madeira, but will certainly be returning. Communication with John was fantastic. We got lost going to the villa after arriving - completely my husbands fault!! Gina’s husband came to the rescue and we followed him to the villa!! Could only happen to us!! 😂 We met Gina on the last day as we were leaving, she was so lovely. Our stay was awesome, we wanted to find time to relax, and we certainly did that. Carlos is a fab local taxi driver. Property is well located for sightseeing and relaxation and a short drive to the town of Funchal. The pool was fine for my boys, 14 & 11. Although it wasn’t a deep pool, which we knew as we had read the details before going, we made up games to play in the pool, and generally soaked up the sun. It was absolutely fine. We have returned wanting to purchase a darts board!!!! And return to Madeira.

Very comfortable stay in Madeira

Our family of five stayed for five nights in March. The property was quite large, and accommodated our party easily. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything necessary to cook breakfast and simple meals during our stay. The TV and internet worked well. There was a small pool which we did not use, as it was quite cool during our stay, but would be lovely for a dip during the summer. The property is quite high up the mountain, which allows for great views. A car rental is definitely recommended, and secure off street parking is available. Communication with the owner and property manager were quite good. Overall a great stay in Madeira.

This property is so amazing. We arrived at night in the dark so it wasn’t until morning that we could see the fabulous view. The house is very well supplied and as an added touch the owner had left us supplies to make a simple dinner. Such a welcome bonus. A little surprised that the beautiful pool is only 3 feet deep. Great for little kiddies!

The property itself is just as described, very roomy & multi level. There was a nice welcome package with some basic grocery items, unexpected & much appreciated. Two of the bedrooms had balconies which was really nice in the mornings. The kitchen was well equipped and plenty of towels in the bathrooms. We did have some difficulties reaching the manager upon arrival & had to wait around a bit. You definitely need a car to stay in the area, there are a few taxis servicing the area, very limited.

This villa is spectacular!

I am so glad that we booked this villa! The view is absolutely spectacular, and the inside of the villa is clean and spacious. Our children loved the pool. The view from 2 of the 3 bedrooms is incredible! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the house was really quiet. John (the host) was very responsive to our questions and offered to extend the checkout time since there was no one else booked the day of our departure. We really appreciated being able to check out without having to rush. This was our family's first visit to Madeira, and we would love to return and stay at this villa again. I highly recommend it.

Disappointed -

POOR MANAGING: We arrived on the Wed 13th July. There was a flight delay and also the car hire took a very long time. By the time I gave our contact a call 30 minutes later than planned, her reaction on the phone was so aggressive, grumpy and not happy at all. She said she would see tomorrow and the next day she cancelled as she was busy with meetings. It would have been good to be shown everything we needed to know about the house that day, beware the service revolves around the property manager schedule and was reactive not proactive. We had a day of cold showers then info came in on how to warm the water. STRESS: A day before our departure I was stressed out by calls at 09:30am telling me to check out - this was a day early!. I explained but she would not listen, she insisted I call John and get him to send her a text. Surely this was her job - no customer service at all - ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS ADDED: During our stay additional I was told warned about over using the electricity and water saying they would charge me for this, which scared me as I had no way of checking or proving what my usage was they could say anything they wanted. They also added that all bins must be emptied and the house be clean. Surely all these conditions should be made clear upfront and not added on to the contract whilst we had already started our stay - to be honest I felt like we were being bullied and could not say anything. POOL: On our arrival I noticed that the pool was not clean, which makes me wonder if it was cleaned before our arrival? The pool was cleaned 2 days before our departure, surely the pool should be cleaned on the day guests check out. Pool was not heated at all and the water was cold. main pool is small and only 0.8m deep RE ELECTRICITY: On Wed 20th the day we were vacating - Electricity kept cutting out. I spent most of the morning running up to the third floor to switch the main switch back on! This was so frustrating and stressful, I thought something major had gone wrong. On the day the family were trying to get ready and shower which also kept cutting out. We had some clothes to wash and dry as well as cook breakfast. The electricity limitation should have been mentioned to me in advance because I would have planned better and not stressed! In the end we couldn't even use the kettle, very disappointed. Beware!

Nice location with magnificent view

The property met all the description provided in the booking system. It was very well equiped with all we needed during our stay. The games room was a huge add on. The location was easy to find using the google maps but additionally the directions from the owner helped us to navigate. The view from the terrace and the rooms was amazing. The space outside the property was just right for our family to relax. The water in the pool was nicely heated, however the pool itself is more for cooling down or for little kids to play rather than to be used for swimming due to its depth. There were couple things at the arrival which I wanted to highlight. There was a long list of warnings on the electricity or water use, which we only received with the arrival form emailed to us before the arrival. This made us affraid of what the limitations may man in terms of the stay’s comfort and the total cost. However at the check in we were told to disregard these warnings. This made us completly lost. If only such things were listed in the booking system all the rules of the house were clear upfront. Given we were moving from one location to this property, we requested an early check in, which was impossible due to cleaning, however we were offered to drop our luggage so that we could spend the day on the planned activities. We truly appreciated the flexibility. However when returning later for the formal check in we had to wait 2 hours in front of the property awaiting the manager who had other check ins to make. If only the already established communication channel had been used by the manager, we could have enjoyed the activities or have dinner instead of awaiting the check in till 7 pm. Just minor things to improve and make the stay even more enjoyable.

A little disappointed

Villa was decent quality. Pool was good, more than adequate for our purposes. Pool advertised as heated - it was absolute freezing when we got there. It was also not clean. Luckily pool guys came on the Monday and started the heating and cleaned it. It was unusable for nearly 3 days in reality. After the guys had been it was fine. There was no BBQ even though advertised. We asked rosalina and she said it had broken so they’d taken it away… but not replaced it. Bit odd really. If something breaks it makes sense to replace it. We had to buy a portable BBQ to enjoy lunches around the pool. Disappointing. There was also the most irritating yapping dog that lived next door that literally never stopped barking. Worst of this at 11pm at night and again at 7am in the morning. Relentless. Not the hosts fault but important for prospective guests to know about. It really spoiled our evenings and breakfasts that we hoped to enjoy at pool side. Appears quite negative, but overall the place was comfy and a decent base to go off exploring. Views are astonishing. John, have the dog neutralised, it’s going to cost you a lot of customers.

We had a lovely stay. It’s a good location in that you’re in the heart of the community. Car is essential to get around though, the island has lots to offer, you just need enough time to do it all! The villa is well equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable.
