What a fantastic place to stay. The house, pool and the lovely gardens and beach hut exceeded my expectations. Scary drive down though!

Herzlicher Host, der um sein Domizil nur zu beneiden ist. Geschmackvolle und komfortable Einrichtung, die keine Wünsche offen lässt. Mit einem tollen Pool in einer ganz ruhigen und sicheren Umgebung. Ich werde bestimmt wiederkommen. Die Anfahrt ist allerdings nur für geübte Autofahrer, es geht ordentlich bergab auf einem schmalen Weg.

Wunderschöne, ruhige Traumvilla mit herrlichem Blick aufs Meer. Toller Pool ins Wohnzimmer integriert. Sehr gastfreundlicher Vermieter und perfekte Betreuung. Einziges Manko ist die enge Zufahrt.

This is an amazing villa in a beautiful quiet area with a lovely sea view and beach below. It is well located and with a car we explored the whole island. Great pool, well equipped .... highly recommended!

The house is fairly new, and well fitted out. It’s spacious, and has a nice contemporary feel without being clinical. A great feature is being able to step straight into the pool from the living room! There’s a garden at the front with uninterrupted views of the sea (great sunsets), and it feels really secluded, although there are a few neighbouring properties. It’s located near the bottom of cliffs, though still about 30 metres above the stony beach, but it’s a dead end, so there’s no passing traffic near the house, and the road higher up the cliff is hardly used (like a lot of Madeiran coastal roads it’s become largely redundant since the motorways were built inland). There are supermarkets and restaurants in easy driving distance in Calheta and Ribeira Brava, and Funchal’s only 49 minutes drive away. Plenty of places to visit nearby as well - we’d highly recommend the modern art gallery in Calheta (Casa das Mudas), for the building and location alone, and the town of Ponta Do Sol just down the coast with it’s lovely miniature seafront. We really loved this house, and would wholeheartedly recommend it. There were 2 things which we thought it’s worth being aware of: the house is only reachable by a very steep and narrow concrete road, which even the more experienced drivers amongst us found daunting the first time! It helped that the owners sent someone to meet us nearby and lead the way on our first descent, but we soon got used to it. The other is that the owner is building a new property nearby and we could hear the noise of construction during the daytime. I didn’t find it too obtrusive, but my wife’s a bit more sensitive to noise than me and found it distracting. It may well be finished by now, but perhaps enquire before booking. The owner did compensate us with a complementary meal in his extremely good restaurant in Camara do Lobos though!

We arrived with a 10 hours delay at midnight - but the welcome was fantastic! Mr. Bruno was very kind - a cool sparkling wine was waiting for us in the fridge (and some toast, marmelade and coffee for a first breakfast - so we needn't leave the house very early the next morning). The pool was pre-heated so we could take a first dive before breakfast. The views from the terrace and the bedrooms are fantastic - we had a few wonderful sunfalls. We used the indoor-barbecue regularly for fish and other seafood bought in the local (and very well assorted) supermarket in Caleta. The whole area is very calm and quiet. As we had to change our rent-a-car the guy in charge asked why we needed a car - since we were residing in paradise. He was perfectly right!! If you want to spend unforgettable holidays on this beautiful island (with or without children), this is the place to be!

What an amazing place for a holiday, absolutely stunning - so beautiful surroundings and decor. The only down side was the very steep and scary access road.

Beautiful place to stay with very nice pool with view on the ocean! Very quite with bananas and mangos in the garden. One small remark , bed in one room is not good. The road to the house is very steep and you need to be an experienced driver but it is worth doing it !

This house/accommodation is very very nice and extremely well suited for a family with kids enjoying a great swimming pool that can be heated up to 28 degrees. The only thing that was a bit too entertaining was the very steep and narrow road down to the house ;-)

Das Haus ist sehr modern mit einer pool-begehbaren Fensterfront . Der Pool wurde gegen Aufpreis für uns geheizt, so dass wir auch im Februar jeden Tag im Pool waren. Die gesamte Ausstattung ist super, wir haben jeden Tag in dem herrlichen Ambiente genossen, auf der Terrasse gelegen und frischen Fisch in der schönen Küche zubereitet. Es blühte alles, auch um das Haus herum; alles umgeben von Bananenplantagen. Es gibt sogar ein Strandhaus, das haben wir in der Jahreszeit aber nicht genutzt. Einzig die Zufahrt zu den Häusern ist steil und eng; wenn sich 2 Autos begegnen muss man sehr vorsichtig sein.
