"Absolutely beautiful villa. Impeccably furnished with a fantastic pool and stunning views. It was very clean and well equipped, but we did struggle with the pillows which we all found uncomfortable. Such a minor issue though when the place was so impressive otherwise. We've stayed in lots of villas over the past few years and this was definitely the best. Friendly and helpful management company too! "

Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club

Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club

10/10 Excellent
"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club. We received a warm welcome. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making every effort to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We had a lovely room with everything we needed. The pool in the sea is unique, and the food was excellent. We were even offered a shuttle service without having to ask. I highly recommend the Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club to everyone, and it will definitely be my first choice again on my next visit to Madeira. Thank you for the wonderful experience."
