House is very nice and confortable....

I would definitely rent this lovely home again. The location, size and views were perfect! We paid to have the pool heated but it was still cold. So we didn’t end up using it. Rooms were large, kitchen was very well equipped. There was plenty of room to accommodate our family of 7 in the beautiful great room. Thanks for letting us rent this gorgeous gem. We definitely want to come back to Madeira.

Villa with great view
Good location, downhill to nearby shops - wonderful bakery and local restaurants, uphill to large supermarket/ not a great walk as crossing busy road but really convenient. Villa stunning with gorgeous views, located in a very quiet residential location. Enjoyed it immensely. Car useful but taxi’s easy to order about £20 to Funchal. Madeira was beautiful and people and taxi drivers friendly and helpful. Would return in an instant.

Prime location on the prettiest island in Europe
Property was immaculate and as advertised. Pandemic travel restrictions over the past year and a half necessitated some itinerary changes, but all of these were handled with grace and patience by Our Madeira. In fact, communication throughout as requirements changed were prompt, helpful, and friendly. Getting onto Madeira is easy if you take the advice, complete the applications and download the app. Our Madeira arranged a car hire with full coverage, which was a good thing as we had a "ding" incident - no issues whatsoever, all covered. The accommodations are as pictured. We opted for additional pool heat, which we liked. Suggest asking the pool filter be scheduled to shut off at night as the pool filter sound is noticeable. Kitchen is well equipped. Health rules restrict how many provisions can be left at the property, but there is a good grocery just a few blocks away. The entire island can be visited in a day, and recommend a hired car and an island circumnavigation early in your visit to get oriented. Overall we rate this property a solid A, and we grade Our Madeira a solid A+++

Amazing Contemporary Villa with Stunning Views
Wow, the panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean from this villa hit you from the second you walk through the front door and gaze through the 5m long panoramic window on the top floor. They are also just as good from the middle level where the bedrooms are and from the lower level where you reach the kitchen and vast sitting room, which then open out onto a large deck and garden with the pool which also looks out over the vast Atlantic.
The villa is incredibly spacious and every room is large and well proportioned. It is situated on the South Coast of the island on the edge of the capital Funchal, with stunning unrestricted 180 degree views to the South from 250 m above the ocean as the villa is positioned at the top of a cliff in the upmarket Funchal suburb of Canico. We never tired of the views, whether it was opening the curtains in the morning, sitting in the pool or gazing at the stars over the ocean at night.
The villa is incredibly spacious as I have said above and very well appointed, including having a lift to take you up and down the three floors if you don't want to use the stairs. The main bedroom has a dressing room and balcony, again with the same stunning views. There is everything you need to have a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable holiday, as we did.
I would highly recommend this villa as to anyone wanting to stay in self catering accommodation in Madeira, it is only 15 minutes from the airport, it has good bars, shops and restaurants within close walking distance, but it is also is close to the centre of Funchal. The villa itself is of a very high standard and is very well equipped, as well as being very large and air conditioned throughout. The views though are incredible from every level and made our stay very special indeed. We have stayed in some stunning places all over the world, but this is at the top of the list in terms of everything it offers and the views rival anywhere we have been.

Great Villa in a calm neighborhood
We are a group of 7 people from Germany and lived in the Villa Fonte do Mar for a week. It's a Great Villa with a stunning ocean view in a beautiful and calm neighborhood.
We were also impressed by the scale of the house. 3 floors, a big “loft like” living room and a private elevator are features you don't find every day.
Linda welcomed us at the Villa when we arrived and showed us around. She's a lovely person and very dedicated to make your stay the best experience possible.
Thanks again to her for making us feel “at home” instantly.
The pictures on the website are pretty much on point and resemble the Villa perfectly. It offers more then enough space for a luxury stay with up to 8 people.
In the outside areas there is maybe some room for improvements such as the plants around the Villa that might need some more care or the upper balcony which might need a small paint job. But that's really nitpicking and shouldn’t distract from the overall great experience.
So if you are looking for a great relaxing stay with a small group… don’t look any further. You just found one of the greatest options in Madeira.
