Had a fabulous time, would have liked the pool to be heated as promised. The driveway is steep, so beware if you are not a confident driver. Would recommend as easy to move around the island from the villa. It was comfortable and clean. Would definitely recommend.

Big, well-equipped villa with nice pool
Stayed in March/ April with partner and teenage son. We found the villa with no problem using Google Maps link provided and checked in easily. We were surprised at how big it is! There were only three of us, but it would be more than big enough for a family of six. We found it to be very well-equipped, with everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. The pool was lovely, and heated to a good temperature - the worst bit was getting out, particularly if it was a bit windy! Car hire is essential as there isn't much in the local area - but there are a number of restaurants, supermarkets etc. in the nearby town of Ribeira Brava. A few things that might be helpful - the villa is located close to the village of Boa Morte, which is a little further from Riberia Brava than we expected, although this wouldn't have made any difference as we would have driven anyway as it's very hilly! - if you need to get more table-tennis balls (there was only one when we arrived and it was broken) the only place that sells them is Decathlon just outside of Funchal We needed to change our arrival date by a day - John was happy to oblige, but it seemed quite difficult to do this through vrbo (not sure why as I'm sure it must happen regularly). In the end, we agreed to just leave the booking as it was and John would just refund us for the day that we didn't use. Overall, we had a great time, and would definitely go back.

A little slice of paradise
We very much enjoyed our stay at the villa. Gina was very helpful and welcoming and contact with the owner was seamless prior to arrival. There is a lot to do on the island and a car is definitely required to see all the sights and navigate the various hills and valleys. We took the cable cars in Funchal and visited the botanic gardens which were lovely. Would come back to visit again

Nice private location
We enjoyed our stay very much. It is a big house with plenty of spare for all visitors. We visited in Desember in the midle of a winterstorm - the house can be a bit cold for that experience, but the host had provided electrical owens so we could heat the house. Very nice outside area with fantastic eveningview and a warm pool big enough for bathing with the family. Our plane got delayd because of the storm and the host arranged for us to stay longer in the house. We definatly recommend the house.

Make the most of Madeira
This well equipped and neatly laid out villa is a great family base, perfectly situated for accessing all parts of the island. Ribeira Brava has everything that the self-catering holiday maker needs. Views from the villa are always engaging and quick road routes mean you can head north for dramatic Atlantic waves, west for surf and dizzy decents, east for Funchal and tourist busyness. Madeira is a great destination and this property is a really reasonable base from which to enjoy it.

Lovely villa in a great spot, shame about a lot of problems
We have been to Maderia several times and love the island. The villa was well kept and in a great location, albeit quite a drive up the hill. The main problem was the pool was freezing. One of the main reasons for booking the villa was the heated pool and the children were very upset it was so cold as it cut short their enjoyment in the water. The local agent was not very helpful. She was rude when we contacted her about checking in, demanding check in time was 6.30pm despite it clearly saying 4pm on our documents. We agreed to meet her at 5pm as she couldn't come any sooner but she didn't arrive until 5.45pm. We had been up since 3am and had had a long day. When we were shown around we were told the washing machine was broken, a new one was provided but half way through the stay... it was clear she had known about this before we arrived. There was no BBQ and she said that was not her problem and there was clearly not going to be provided during the stay. There was also no toilet seat in the master bedroom's bathroom. She said she would get a new one, this never happened. In the end we contacted the property owner about the pool, who tried his best to help remotely but nothing seemed to happen and on the penultimate day we were told the pool heater was broken and they needed a new one. The owner has kindly agreed to a partial refund but we would have preferred a pool we could have enjoyed!

Non Heated Pool
I selected the property because of heated pool, however this was not the case, the surrounding sea was warmer, life buoy in unsafe condition, taxis will not use driveway ( too steep), no cushions for sunbeds, door stops in front of WC cause injury to foot, cooker dangerous frying pan toppled of gas ring spilling hot oil, does not get the sun by the pool until 11AM

Spacious well equipped family villa with fantastic views of mountain and sea. The location is very hilly with car hire essential as you need it to go anywhere. 10 minutes to Riviera Braves. 20 minutes to Funchal. Limited local amenities.

Great holiday
We had a lovely time in this house in Madeira. The pool and games room were a real bonus and the house was very spacious. The house is in a great part of the island only a short drive from Funchal. One minor issue was quickly sorted by the housekeeper. We recommend the dolphin watching and the many levada walks on the island.

This is indeed a luxury villa with everything you need. Family aged 2 to 60 loved it!
So much more than home from home, with marble floors downstairs and wooden floors upstairs. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the pool perfect. As the villa is in the hills we did have some cloud and wind on a few evenings in our 2weeks. Shame about the noisy dogs in the area. Overall, we had an amazing holiday.

Luxurious, very spacious, nicely furnished nice pool area. Highly recommend.
Everything you need. Renting this property you need a vehicle although taxi and bus service is available. Be aware the driveway is very steep. 300m down the road is Mr Pizza. Rosa and Peter are very friendly and even cooked us Portugese chicken one night. Just ask the day before. A 4x4 outing with the Green Devils and Hugo as guide is a fantastic experience. Rivera Brava is a lovely small town for a browse. A great place to eat and very good food is Borda d'Agua with very friendly staff aswell.

clean and well equipped villa with good views and nice pool but a bit isolated.
The villa is well appointed, comfortable and clean inside. Pool was well used, and a decent size and depth for kids. gets sun from 10am for rest of day. Not sure it is heated but was warm enough in august. View is wonderful, but this is a villa that is well outside the urban areas, just down from village of boa morte. Drawback despite the views is feeling a little isolated, but this is perhaps a tradeoff. Lots of dogs around the area, lots of barking, and that included from other buildings just behind the villa which barked every time we walked past, so this may affect some people's decision to stay but not a big issue overall. Ideally a car is necessary but this is expensive at peak times, especially if you need a 7 seater: the cost of this will exceed the cost of the villa itself for a week. There is however a local bus service (rodoeste company, timetable on internet, look for bus from boa morte to riviera brava) from just outside the villa down to the town of riviera brava which is about 4km down the hill; this is not walkable at all, but the bus only takes 15-20 minutes and costs 1.30 euros per adult each way. One has to plan however due to infrequent buses, especially at the weekend, where they are only a few running and only in the morning. Without the bus we would have struggled to stay in this villa. The villa has a decent collection of DVDs and a table football. kitchen is well appointed and there is a fridge with small freezer. For self catering, there is a small but well supplied supermarket (pingo doce) in riviera brava. Very little choice of food in 2 local and rather run down stores attached to bars within walking distance. Day trips are a must, 120-140 euros for the day for a 7-8 seater taxi, cheaper for that number than renting your own car and companies are flexible), and lots to see, really beautiful island, highlights were porto moniz and funchal itself, which is a lovely town.

Beautiful villa with a great view. The arrival can be a bit challenging since it's a steep hill, but any well acclamed rally driver will see it as an adventure.

Madeira-tur med lidt udfordringer
Vi havde problemer med at finde huset, da vi af en eller anden grund ikke havde modtaget hele rutebeskrivelsen. Med hjælp fra agentur og ejer lykkes det dog med godt humør. Ejerens repræsentant på stedet var til gengæld sur og ubehøvlet. Brok over for tidlig ankomst til trods for at vi dels havde meldt tidspunkt på mail og dels havde fået oplyst i huspapirerne at vi kunne få huset efter kl. 16 (vi ankom ca. 17). Selve huset er okay. Der er, hvad man skal bruge, og det var rent og pænt. Der er skøn udsigt over havet og bjergene. Desværre larmede naboens hund temmelig meget fra morgen til aften. Den blev bundet i en snor i haven og kom først ind om aftenen når han kom hjem fra arbejde.
