"The hotel is fairly high up the hillside, so the drive up is exciting! The hotel itself is amazing. We had a great corner room and balcony with amazing sea and valley views. The staff were very friendly. The only downside was the restaurant was only open for breakfast during our stay, so dinners had to be elsewhere. "

"Beautiful place to stay :)"

"All was very good, lovely clean house and great island. "

"I don't normally do many reviews, but my wife and I were thoroughly impressed our stay here. The pictures are great, but they still don't do it justice. Everything was clean and tidy, and there's a lot of room throughout the house. The view from the balcony's-there's two-is truly amazing!Nelson was without a doubt, one of the nicest people that you will ever meet! He went way above and beyond to help us during our stay!"

"We had a perfect stay. Everything was great! Starting from the greetings for my birthday with chocolates and a bottle of sparkling wine, ending with dinners and amazing ocean view that is there from the terrace. The hotel is located among the banana plantations on the hill, and feels peaceful and calm. Staff is friendly and attentive, helped us with local recommendations. But some nights we just didn’t want to leave, so stayed for the dinner in the hotel restaurant, which is amazing with great food. "

"We wanted a place to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary with our children and grandchildren. This is the perfect spot! Amazing views, stunning property and the beautiful island of Madeira. The villa is spacious, well appointed and almost every bedroom has a view of the sea. There is lots of space for families to spread out. The pool is large and there is a beautiful sitting area for dining while watching the sunset every night! Carlos is a responsive and kind person to work with and he made sure that everything was perfect during our stay. He responded to our one minor issue immediately! ( that is very important when traveling with the family!) The neighboring village of Ponte do Sol is beautiful with many restaurants on the sea. Funchal is only 25 minutes away. We highly recommend this beautiful villa. We have many happy memories!"

"Positives - The villa is very nice, the decor and furnishings are lovely and the view is stunning. All the bedrooms are a really good size, large comfortable lounge and the kitchen is well equipped. 'The Den' is fantastic if you have children staying, we had many hours of fun playing table tennis. The outside balconies run around the property on the coastal side and provide great spaces for enjoying the sun, or just getting away to read.Tips - access down the very steep driveway could be daunting for some. You can park at the top of the drive and walk down the side steps. I found it easier to reverse down the drive as turning space by the garage is tight.Having a car is a must for this property, the walk down to Ponta do Sol is possible but its steep and there are few pathways.Negatives - we arrived on a Thursday and found the indoor pool was freezing (unusable). Friday morning we were informed that the day prior to arrival a new pool heating pump was installed (fine with that things break) and the pool would not be useable for 48 hours (we should have been informed, as this work was obviously planned). The technician did not return until Tuesday to turn the new pump on (lost 6 days use of the pool, and yes I did chase everyday for an update). When it was turned on I was then informed there is a 40 euro per day charge, this should have been stated in the booking information. Overall great villa but the lose of the pool for most of our stay and the hidden charge is poor."
