We had a great stay at Villa Alvinho. The property is in a great location and has amazing views! The host was very prompt and provided all the information needed. Overall, it was a very clean and peaceful place to stay!
Villa was lovely but overlooked a VERY noisy building site with constant banging and pounding noises like piling all day long.We did message the host and called VRBO the booking agent on arrival who also called the host but she did not answer them. The host eventually messaged me 3 days later to we still had the partial sea view and that the guests the previous week had not reported any issues with noise but were effectively ignored by both VRBO and the host. We went to Madeira to enjoy a peaceful and restful break but instead had the opposite. We made several short videos which clearly reveal the level of ongoing noise during the day but unfortunately you do not allow these to be uploaded. . All in all probably the worst holiday of a lifetime and certainly not what we paid for.
We loved the villa which is modern and beautiful with en-suite in each room. The pool area is fantastic and the kitchen contained every item we could have wished for. Appreciated the supply of guide books , herbs/spices/oils etc Would highly recommend this property.
This property was perfect for three couples traveling from the US. The house was clean, the kitchen was well appointed, and the beds were comfortable. Having a pool to enjoy was a nice benefit. The walk to and from town was very hilly, which was enjoyable most of thetime. But Bolt was super easy to use and not expensive. Also, the owner and property manager were very accommodative and quick to respond to emails. I highly recommend this home!
All features of the house as described, well-equipped, had a great stay! The hotel mentioned in another review is not very close, we did not feel disturbed at all. Thanks!
The villa is very modern and all 3x sleeping rooms and bath rooms are hugh. It was a pleasure to stay there and using the heated pool every day. The location is very good since several restaurants and small shops are only few minutes a walk a way.
By arriving, everything was shortly shown to us by a very friendly couple. We can highly recommend the villa and if we go once again to Madeira we will for sure rent it again!

Thanks Thomas for your kind message! Looking forward to hosting you next time in Madeira
Everything about our stay at Villa Alvinho was wonderful. Joana and Clementina were easy to work with, the house was exactly as described, and the cleaners did an amazing job tidying half way through. In addition, I’m beyond appreciative of the baby supplies left for me to use that allowed our travel experience to be much easier. I cannot wait to visit Madeira again, and will absolutely try and stay at Villa Alvinho a second time!

Thansk Laura for your kind review!!
Looking forward to hosting you next time at the Island 😉
The villa is really lovely, in a quiet area and has a lovely pool which our grandchildren really enjoyed. Just one hiccup where we had no hot water for a day but it was sorted by Joana who arranged replacement equipment straight away. We all enjoyed our stay.
The property was excellent. It was just as advertised. Our grandchildren loved the pool and the adults loved the views. It is well equipped, clean and comfortable. We found it easy to walk downhill to the shops. It would be a steep walk getting back but there are several taxi ranks in town and that’s how we returned. If we return to Madeira we would happily book it again.

Thanks Burton for kind review.
Looking forward to hosting you soon!
Great house, modern style as in the pictures, clean & lot of space. The kitchen is very well equipped. Pool and terrace are well maintanined - there is wood for the outdoor grill with a complete outdoor kitchen. The location is 8min by car from Funchal, a big supermarket is also 7min by car from the house. It is a quite neighborhood with a very nice view on the ocean. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the stay very much - we can highly recommend to book the house.
Really lovely villa, 3 luxurious bedroom suites and lovely open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Kitchen has everything you need (great to have tea, coffee, oils, herbs, spices, dishwasher tablets and washing liquid, cling film, foil etc all provided). Air conditioning throughout worked well. Outside there is a beautiful veranda, out doors kitchen, log BBQ, dining area and pool. We had the pool heated (extra charge) and it was just perfect. Easy walk down to bars, restaurants and shops on Estrada Monumental and about 35 minutes into Funchal, coming back is quick in taxi and not expensive.

First Class Accommodation
This is a beautiful contemporary villa where every detail has been carefully considered. Everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable hassle free stay has been included. We particularly loved the pool, which is possibly the warmest we have ever swum in, and the fabulous views over Funchal bay. Despite not hiring a car, we managed to get around quite easily. The No. 45 bus approx. 200 meters walk behind the villa runs every 20-30 minutes into Funchal, and a taxi back from the Lido area was around 7euros. Also for tours around the island try Madeira-Island Taxis, very reasonable at 60euros for a 4-5 hour private tour. We had wonderful support from Clementina and Rui (the owners) throughout our stay, who were very generous hosts. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're glad you liked it and hope to see you again someday!
Sehr schönes großzügiges Haus mit allem was man für einen Aufenthalt benötigt. Wir haben eine Woche mit sechs Erwachsenen Personen hier verbracht, es war wunderschön.
Das Haus ist sehr großzügig geschnitten und aufgrund der perfekten Aufteilung mit drei Schlafzimmern und drei Ensuite Bädern perfekt für 6 Personen geeignet. Es gibt einen großzügigen Wohn-Essbereich und eine hervorragend ausgestattete Küche mit Induktionsherd. Draußen gibt es genügend Liegen und auch vier gemütliche Sitzgelegenheiten sowie einen großen, Grill und genügend Holz für tolle Barbequeabende. Die Kommunikation mit Joana war angenehm und die wöchentliche Zwischenreinigung mit Handtuch- und Wäschewechsel hat uns ebenfalls sehr gut gefallen. Wir haben auch kurz den Besitzer kennengelernt, er war ebenfalls sehr sympatisch.
Im Juli/August kann es heiß auf Madeira werden und in den Schlafzimmern wird es dann schnell warm. Eigentlich kein Problem, denn man könnte einfach nachts die Fenster offen lassen und die Räume wären optimal belüftet. Dies ist aber leider nicht möglich, weil man dann von Mücken gestochen wird (wir hatten jeder über 30 Mückenstiche und es gibt keine Mückennetze) und der Nachbarhahn kräht ab 6:00 Uhr morgens laut und unentwegt. Beides (Mücken und Nachbarhahn) haben die Vermieter selbstverständlich nicht zu verantworten. Mit Repellent und Ohrstöpseln haben wir uns gut abgeholfen.
Worüber wir uns aber wirklich geärgert haben war die Aussicht. Die Fotos in der Annonce sind sehr geschickt aufgenommen, denn man kann auf keinem der Fotos das große Hotel (mit mindestens 8 Etagen und Rooftop-Pool) sehen, welches unmittelbar mit dutzenden Balkonen in Richtung der Villa im direkten Sichtfeld zum Meer liegt. Es ist einfach unserer Meinung nach nicht in Ordnung, das man diese erhebliche Einschränkung auf den Fotos so darstellt, als wäre die Sicht ungetrübt. Gerade wenn man als Urlauber viel Wert auf Privatsphäre und auf eine freie Sicht legt, sollte man sich dessen bewusst sein.
super nice vacation in brilliant villa with top view and top location
Very nice house, great location, exactly as shown in the pictures. From the reservation to the handover everything worked great. Joana is just great, she communicates proactively and is very helpful and responsive, big compliment! Every time again with pleasure...

Thanks so much for your kind message! See you next Year :)
The villa is lovely, bright, spotlessly clean and modern and is extremely well equipped. It has lovely gardens and a nice pool with good garden furniture. It also has some lovely views and it is not too far to walk to some good restaurants and bars.
However sadly all of this great stuff is let down by the constant noise from the building work on the adjacent property with constant drilling, banging and other construction noise from 8am every day. It is certainly not the peaceful quiet location advertised!
