About this property

HOME ARAÚJO - (13090 / AL) fantastic view of the village and the beach of Ponta do Sol

The "Casa Araujo" is an excellent villa, built in 2014, situated on a promontory and over the village and the beach of Ponta do Sol.
The view is superb, particularly in the area of outdoor terraces; a terrace in front of the room with about 40 meters and another larger at a higher level. Simply magnificent!
The interior, spacious and bright, consists of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room and laundry.
It presents a practical and youthful style, where the light and the sun, enter through the entire space.

Hiking paradise

We loved our week in Madeira island. Ponto do sol was the oerfect appt to access every trail with no more than 45 min driving. Levada nova was our favorite hike and within 3k of rental. Rental was fabulous with million dollar views. The washer was so handy for muddy clothes after hiking. Check in/ out was easy. Parking was available next door. We would come again for sure! We used the recommended car hire from house manager. One thing about driving - you need a small car for the narrow roads but you need some power for the hills and sharp turns. This was one of the best holidays of our life. Thank you!

Very comfortable house and wonderful host!

This balcony view from this home was STUNNING, and the home very clean and comfortable. Our host was wonderful, and provided a lovely "care package" of traditional treats and wine, coffee, and home-produced eggs and bananas. Nelson was friendly, gracious, communicative, and provided recommendations and advice for our stay. For me, the highlight of our trip was hiking the Ponta do Sol levada - spectacular natural beauty of sea, mountains, waterfalls, plants and flowers. However, please be aware that there are sheer drop-offs, and this trail would not be suitable for young children or those who are not sure-footed. Thanks for a great vacation, Nelson!

Gorgeous place with a view

We loved our stay here. The location was great - could even walk to a small restaurant/bar up the street. Incredible view and the hosts were lovely. Beds were very firm but that was our only slightly negative thing about the whole place. We loved it!

amazing stay

We spent 18 days in January at this villa. For the wettest month in Madeira we had great weather for hiking with few short showers. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable and clean with the stunning view from big balcony. Special thanks to Nelson for making us feel so welcome, his kind hospitality and awesome welcome gifts.

Amazing little slice of heaven!

Our stay at Casa Araujo was lovely. The house is comfortable, cozy and has everything you need. The most amazing thing about it is the million dollar view, breathtaking! Also Nelson was very attentive and even drove us over to the property the rest of our family was staying in! We highly recommend Casa Araujo and the beautiful island of Madeira. Zinda, Paula & Nick

warm welcome, great place

We have spend an excellent week in this very recent house offering all you may need for a family with 2 children (8 and 13). The manager welcomed us warmly and was very responsive and reliable before and during all stay. Upon departure he even brought some local goods as a get away. The view from the terrace is beautiful and it is a great pleasure to enjoy late afternoon sun after a day hiking on one of the many beautiful trails. There is a BP gas station on the round about of Ponta Do Sol where you can find all basic including fruit and vegetable as well as decent bread (meat and ham is not very good, poor chese offering). Larger supermarket (Continent) about 15 minutes drive with large selection of food. But if you are for organic food bring yours as difficult to find on the island. Kitchen equipment in apartment is sufficient for standard cooking and there is a large fridge with a big freezer. The only limitation may be with the car as the access is by a narrow street and we used the parking of the owner house just next to the rental, as the one in the house is almost impossible to use except for very small cars. Check about this with the rental manager to make sure it is available. If we go back to Madeira we will be happy to come back to this rental.

Traumhaus mit Blick auf Ponta do Sol

Ein toller Wanderurlaub auf Madeira. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, es fehlt an nichts. 3 Bäder = Luxus. Es bietet Platz für 6 Erwachsene. Die Aussicht von den 2 Terrassen ist grandios! Wir haben jeden Tag draußen gefrühstückt. Besonders hervorzuheben auch der offene Kamin zum Grillen. Der Empfang und die Betreuung durch Nelson - einfach super. Er ist 24/7 verfügbar. Vom Haus in den Ort dauert es zu Fuß 10 Minuten; zurück wegen der beträchtlichen Steigung 20 Minuten. Im Ort gibt es eine kleine Auswahl an Restaurants. Direkt an der Tankstelle befindet sich ein gut ausgestatteter Supermarkt. Einige Wanderungen kann man direkt vom Haus aus starten. Besonders zu empfehlen ist die Levada Nova. Wir hatten ein Mietwagen, waren dadurch sehr mobil und haben Wanderungen auf der ganzen Insel unternommen. Prinzipiell sollte man den Tag zum Wandern früh starten, sonst wird es bei einigen Wanderungen doch sehr voll. Fährt man mit dem Auto nach Funchal, gibt es direkt neben der Seilbahn ein Parkhaus. Wir waren 2 Wochen auf Madeira und werden mit Sicherheit noch mal wiederkommen! Vielen Dank Nelson.

Perfect, clean and spacious house with a beautiful view

We were received by Nelson who made us feel welcome. Nelson was easy and accessible to get in touch with. He showed us around the house and was a super host, so cheerful and kind! The house is very spacious and clean. There are three terraces. We used the terrace In front of the living the most. Maybe if there would be some garden furniture on the rooftop, we would have used that one also. The beds (all box springs) were good and it was nice that there are more bathrooms (3 in total! There is also a bathroom in the outdoor kitchen!) The shower is really nice and the bathroom was spacious, clean and comfortable (with even a bubble bath which we didn’t use). We also were happy with the fan in our bedroom. The living room has new furniture, different from the pictures. It all looks nice and modern. And there is an attic with two more beds (boxsprings). So you have three different bed rooms and six sleepingplaces. We had a lot of privacy and the view from the terrace…. Wow, we loved it! We have spend a lot of time on the terrace, also in the night it is nice to look at the lights of the village. And beneath the terrace is a beautiful banana grove. The kitchen is wel equipped and has everything you need. The washing machine is a plus. In the night it is very quiet and you have all the privacy because the property is closed by a big electric fence. The car is easily parked above the house. Just be aware of a steep climb back from the village (20m)

Super

The Casa was very clean, big rooms and a large livingroom with a fantastic view to Ponta do Sol. The house was well equipped, we did not miss anything. Everything is like the pictures on the Vrbo-site. The road to the house is very steep – like many roads on Madeira - but we could park our car at the neighbours house which was easier to access. Ponta do Sol was a good choice because it was most of the time sunny and warm while it was more cloudy in the center and north of the island. We enjoyed our stay at Home Araujo very much

Breathtaking View, Lovely House

Casa Arugo became our home for 3.5 months. We did not want to leave. The beds were so comfortable & there are 3 washrooms. It was great having the convenience of a washing machine as well. The host, Nelson is amazing. The owners were always accomodating & helpful when needed. The house is spacious, large, private, clean, new & has all the comforts of home but the view from the main very large balcony is spectacular. Words cannot describe the beauty you will wake up to every day from inside or outside as the entire wall to the outside is glass sliding doors. There is a second level balcony that is marvelous. The BBQ room is gorgeous. We used it many times for ribs, chicken & fish that we purchased at the large Continent grocery store in Ribera Brava. The house location is perfect to explore the extremely quiet neighborhood on foot. It is Madeira so it is hilly. The town of Ponta do Sol is a short walk where you'll find a smaller grocery store for all your needs. It also offers delicious baked bread & desserts as well as a coffee shop. There's a small enclosed mall. A little further is the beautiful ocean where you can swim. Also a five minute walk from the house you will find 2 convenient local taverns offering excellent food & drinks at unbeatable prices. It is best to have a car because there is so many incredible places to see on the island. Be sure to do your research for the many sights. Parking is convenient & safe right next door on the owners property. Madeira is one of the most beautiful places you will ever see. Staying at Casa Arugo was the perfect choice for us. We hope to return for another long stay next year

Disappointment ☹️

The house was very clean and the propery manager, Nelson, helpful and friendly. However, the house itself needs redecoration: some appliances work poorly (gas cooker), are old and difficult to use. The kitchen was poorly eqipped, there weren’t enough cups, kettles, there’s no dishwasher and all seems used and outdated. The furniture in the house also seem old and not comfortable, the living room is poorly and cheaply furnished. The bathrooms are old and outdated. The house needs redecoration asap. What was also a nuisance is the third bedroom: it’s placed upstairs but with no door and our adult daughter wasn’t comfortable there at all. In general: we don’t recommend the house and wouldn’t like to return there, though we loved Madeira and will be returning to the island for sure. But not to this property ☹️

Sehr empfehlenswertes Anwesen

Wir wurden von Nelson wunderbar empfangen. Als Willkommensgruß gab es Bananen aus seinem Garten mit anderen lokalen Spezialitäten. Das Haus ist angenehm groß und man hat zu viert sehr gut Platz. Es ist eigentlich fast alles vorhanden was man für einen entspannten Urlaub benötigt( einzig ein Geschirrspüler wäre noch sehr angenehm). Am schönsten fanden wir die Dusche im "Grillraum": Hier hat man während dem Duschen einen super Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang. Die Zufahrt ist sicher wie schon öfters beschrieben schmal, aber eigentlich kein Problem (Die Straße ist eine Einbahn; man kommt nur von oben zum Haus). Das einzige was ein wenig gestört hat war das WLAN: das funktioniert grundsätzlich super, aber nur im unteren Bereich; im Rest vom Haus war kein Empfang. Die Stechmücken waren auch etwas lästig, aber dafür kann niemand etwas. Zusammengefasst: 14 wunderbar Tage auf eine sehr schönen Insel im wahrscheinlich besten Eck von Madeira.

This property far exceeds expectations, the welcome from Nelson was friendly and informative and we thank him for the kind gifts of local produce. We had a comfortable stay with everything we needed and magnificent views of the sea and village. Good location for a walk down to the village and plenty of exercise walking back up which we did twice a day, beats going to the gym! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet was man als Selbstversorger braucht, Küche mit Gasherd und Ofen, großer Kühl- und gefrierschrank, Waschmaschine, Bügeleisen und Brett. 2 Schlafzimmer, 1 großes ensuite Bad mit Wanne, 1 kleines Bad mit Dusche, großes Wohnzimmer mit Panoramafenstern und Meerblick nach Westen und anschließender großer Terrasse. Extra Anbau mit gemauertem Grill. Dachterrasse auf der man auch zum Frühstück in der Sonne sitzen kann. Wir hatten einen Kombi und konnten problemlos am Nachbargrundstück der Besitzer parken. Nelson war immer erreichbar und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt 5 Sterne. Leider funktionierte das Warmwasser nicht richtig, man musste teilweise das Wasser 5 min laufen lassen, deshalb 1 Stern Abzug.
