The villa was great, just a little disappointed that there were no bars or restaurants nearby.

A few things missing from the kitchen, and the coffee machine wasn’t working. Although we reported it, nobody came to replace it.

Villa Ravenala is perfect for either couples, small families or small groups of friends. Located in a quiet, private neighbourhood, surrounded by similar villas in the outskirts of Funchal, a good spot to relax under the Madeiran sun The three en suite bedrooms are beautifully decorated, all with balconies, sea views of the sea and the garden. The master suite has floor to celling windows that lead to a private terrace where we enjoyed coffee every morning and watched the sun rise - and then set again with a cocktail. The whole house is spacious and airy, small enough to feel comfortable and cosy but large enough for guests to have their own space. The separate kitchen is functional and has enough basic cooking essentials with the option to dine / BBQ alfresco by the pool or in the separate spacious and bright living room with french windows that lead to outside and the pool area The open plan living room is also bright and spacious with more floor to ceiling windows that open out to the garden and pool area. There is plenty of outdoor seating and a few sun loungers and the mature garden with 1000+ year-old olive trees make it private and sheltered sub spot. The villa is not in Funchal centre but halfway between the capital and the quaint fishing village of Camara do Lobos. It is also in a great spot to hit the motorway in both directions to access the rest of the island, (but far enough that you won't hear any motorway noise) We totally recommend hiring your own car. The villa is not isolated from amenities but you are far enough away from Madeira's main attractions that you cannot really do without one. Hiring a car also made us feel like we were living the magazine lifestyle that this villa engenders (okay, we hired a German car from Sixt - I would recommend doing the same, as Madeira's hire car fleet very much veers toward the 'budget' end of the scale - and that is not to say it is cheap).

We loved everything but would like to suggest a few more kitchen utensils, we were two only but we love cooking and this is one of the main reasons for hiring a villa versus staying in a hotel. Maybe some fruit bowls and champagne glasses, glass jugs for juice and water and a vase for flowers. A coffee table in the living room would prevent people from putting their drinks in the sofa.

Clean, well equipped, amazing views.

Beautiful villa in great location

Pool doesn’t have heating and was freezing all week to the point you couldn’t use it. Wifi did not work at all - mentioned to operator but they did not follow up as promised. Main bed is very uncomfortable.

Better directions from airport to property. Pest control- ant problems in kitchen.
