Beautiful property! The pool was clean and warm. Air conditioning was appreciated during the heat wave. The driveway to the garage is steep and narrow (just like the roads in Madeira!), but once you get used to it, it is manageable. It would be nice if soap/shower gel was provided.

Perfect stay

The property was simply stunning with incredible views. We normally stay in 4-5 star properties when traveling. On this trip we had our daughter and her fiancé joining us hence we opted for a villa - it did not disappoint. We all had ample space both indoors and outdoors. Only wish we stayed longer - 5 days was not enough.

Great location great views but noisy as building ongoing in the next door property

Excellent accomodation, very clean. Perfect location, however the villa next door was being renovated and we encountered noise from 9am till 10 pm every day except sundays, I should have been made aware of this before my visit, especially as a baby was in our party, otherwise great choice would recommend

A wonderful place. As some reviews say: the pictures don’t do it justice, maybe because it so nicely proportioned the size doesn’t come across. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, but a stone’s throw from a gorgeous beach & Cristo Rei. João was quick to answer every message.

Amazon ocean views from a gorgeous house

Beautiful house with breathtaking views! Our group of 6 loved our stay. The common areas are extremely spacious and comfortable. We loved coming home at the end of the day and having a glass of wine on the patio while watchibg the stars shine over the ocean waves. Waking up to see the sunrise through the living room’s glass wall or the pool patio was breathtaking. The owner was extremely responsive to all questions about our stay. Loved it and would love to go back!

Special property for mums 80th Birthday

What an amazing property with the most fantastic views - perfect part of the island with the little beach below and cable car access The owner was really responsive with messages and very helpful, even helping to organise a birthday cake Had a little trouble with alarms going off when we arrived but it was soon sorted Can highly recommend the restaurant in town called Ferrugem - staff were wonderful Also True Spirit Jeep Tours to the North with off roading and vineyard/winetasting - they even collected us from the house.

A week in paradise …

Outstanding week. Views are iconic and breathtaking. Pool was heated to temperature we requested. Kitchen was clean and modern. Communication with owners was easy. Having a taxi “on call” was also appreciated. The only thing I would add is a dryer or more towels as we were constantly going in and out of either the pool or beach. 5 stars. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic house with amazing views.

This house is in the most incredible location, it looks out over the Atlantic with the statue of Cristo Rei directly in your line of sight. It is well equipped and feels very secure and safe. The pool was really lovely just the right size for a cooling plunge. The local facilities are really good, a couple of nice cafés, restaurants, a greengrocer, supermarket and a car rental office. We are already talking about when we’re going to return. A huge “thank you” to Jōao for all the info he passed on prior to our visit and for being on call should we have needed his help.

Fantastic view, location and property

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. It's in a fantastic location with beautiful views. We received a lovely gift on arrival and were welcomed to the property and given a full rundown. The property has everything you need to have a great vacation. The one let down for us was the fact that the pool never reached a heat that made it comfortable for a swim. We specifically chose the property for the heated pool and that was a disappointment. We did however still enjoy our stay. I would definitely recommend this property, I can only imagine it would be fantastic in summer.

Amazing views

The house overall is amazing, the views are beautiful, and the house is better than the pictures! We had a wonderful stay overall. There were a few improvements or recommendations to make it a perfect stay. We could not check in until 7:30 PM on the first day of our trip, which was unfortunate, and frustrating after a long day of travel. Also, there were no paper towels, and very little toilet paper to use throughout our stay. We had to purchase these items on our own, For a luxury stay, you would think these would be provided. In addition, a booklet of instructions would be helpful to understand the basics of opening the garage, locking the doors, and the alarm system. We had several questions which easily could have been avoided if there was instructions at the home. Overall, we had a great vacation, and the accommodations were fantastic with a few exceptions. We will definitely be back!

We would like to clarify, that your late check-in was due to the fact that you did not reply to our request for your arrival time three times before, so we had no way of guessing your time arrive. All the instructions are concerned, there is a specific dedicated book which you may not have read, there are also instructions throughout the house, particularly on access from the garage. As for the paper towels, they were in the closets, all you had to do was use them. Please note that you did not ask us for anything during your stay, although we were available 24 hours a day.

Stunning location & views BUT hospitality needs to be better

Firstly, what a stunning and secure villa with beautiful views of the ocean, with easily accessible beach very close by. We felt safe and the area is lovely and quiet. Having said that, we feel that the hospitality in terms of help should be better considering this is a villa and not AirBnB after-all. Firstly, it would be good to have a starter bag of basics like tea bags, oil, sugar, eggs, bread, washing up liquid etc. as we were not familiar with the area, particularly if you arrive at night as the closest shops are about 20 mins walk away. Secondly, we lost two days of our short break due to the pool being very cold, despite being told it was a heated pool, this is even after a guy came to check the pool on the second day and told us that it would be warm however it remained cold for the remainder of the stay (which was very frustrating as the heated pool was one of the main reasons we booked this place). In addition, nobody came to clean the pool regularly (the pool cleaner turned up just the once on the second day only after we requested that the pool be checked) which was unacceptable as there was a large tree by the pool so many leaves and ants/other bugs were in the pool all week. Lastly, just a suggestion if you want to make a pool more child-friendly perhaps consider adding some softer material or something to the pool edges to avoid accidents such as injuring heads as the pool is relatively narrow compared to other pool sizes. It would be good for these points to be taken on board to improve the villa experience and increase the likelihood of people returning to stay.

Dear Mr. Wiam Saad, Happy New Year. About your comments we would like to clarified that you always left for our guest: Oil, Vinager, Suggar, Salt, Pepper, washing liquid & coffee caps. We already check with our housekeeper & we had it on your stay. We have Heated Swiming-pool on request. As you do it you improve it immediately but just on second day will be perfect on Winter. We leave the swiming-pool cleaned, we did it ourselfs. We also buy you a second bike as you ask us. It was a special request from you and we except that you recognized it in your comment. Thank You for staying with us. João Canteiro

4/10 Poor

Nice house, good location, but the house is kind of neglected

At first: nice house, nice location. Really. But the inside is neglected. After telling Joao he just told us next time we will visit everything everything would be fixed. He did not solve one thing while we were there. Interestingly other people mentioned things like the awful smell in the garage already, and he obviously did nothing. One flame of the stove did not work at all, the coffemaker is a joke and leaking. No equipment for the dishwasher like tabs, not even on or two. 2 beds were totally unusable, cheap junk. Clogged shower drain. Almost no toilet paper left. Broken door locks. The garage/basement smelled like an animal died in there. Not enough plates, no real frying pan, not enough silverware, the silverware was cheaper than cheap and most of the spoons and forks were totally bend. Not to mention things like a broken toilet seat. For a house at this price. This place really needs attention. Afterwards the landlord became rude and threatened us with the police on top when we shortened the bill for all these things. To us this place was a rip.off. If all these things would be okay it would be perfect. Beside the owner. Needs to be sold to solve this problem.

Dear Mrs. Menikheim, Unfortunately you also use this against to us! Be honest with you and all! As you know during your stay you just suggest us something to get better! We talk with you on the phone and you always did not be honest! You have made check-out without paying your extras that you ask for! We still waiting for this payments. For many years receiving guest is the very first time that we welcome a person as you are! So please be a shame and be honest we us for a very first time and replace the truth.
