5.0 / 5.0
We stayed here for a week in August, 2 adults and 2 teenagers and had a great time.
The property is very spacious and comfortably has space for 6 if it’s full, there are loads of places to relax, whether inside, outside in the shade or sun.
Pool is great and views to the ocean are amazing.
The walk up to Garajau is around 10 minutes, with a variety of restaurants, small supermarket and greengrocers.
We also used the Bolt app to get a taxi into Funchal is often under €10, and apart from Sunday morning which took a little longer - had cars available no longer than 15 mins.
Fully recommend, and hope to make it back again.

A perfect holiday home.
We were two couples so villa size was a little overwhelming. For a family with kids it would be magical.
Sadly weather not warm enough to use pool since we are wimps!
Our absolute joy was the outside space and the glorious view and sunsets over the ocean.
Location was good, mainly quiet area apart from the dog choir at night !
We only ever managed to get the bus once to Funchal it was really scary ! Taxis from outside hotel Dom Pedro and the whole island were very reasonable and a great way to see the island.
Eating out locally was good.
The villa was spotless & well managed, transfers excellent, contact with team easy and effective. Would definitely return.
Thank you

Perfect house in a good location
The house was even better and bigger, than we expected from the pictures. We were 6 adults, we used and enjoyed every corner of the spacy house. Preheated pool was a must for us, and it worked perfectly. Linda, who meet us at the house, was very kind and helpful. Big sunny barbeque area. Everything just modern and in good condition. Highly recommended.

A great villa on a beautiful island.
A fabulous villa, clean,tidy and well maintained with everything you could possibly need provided for you. Positioned with an easy walk into the local shops and restaurants, so although we had a car we seldom used it on an evening.
Would definitely recommend this villa.

Ocean front villa - Garajau, Madeira
This villa was as described. It is spacious, but also has quiet comfortable areas to relax. Everywhere was clean and beautifully presented. The kitchen is well equipped; we stayed for 2 weeks and used most of the domestic appliances including the cooker and washing machine. There is a games room downstairs with snooker and I recommend the table football...great fun!
The views are simply breathtaking, with nothing to obscure the gorgeous blue sea. The pool was clean and maintained and the gardens appear to have recently had newly planted flowers and shrubs. . Each terrace is a delight to use and the owners have put a lot of thought into providing the essentials for their visitors. It is about a 10 min walk to the shops and restaurants which cater for your every need. We found the local bakery and coffee bars offered delicious cakes bread etc. The restaurants in Garajau are of a high standard with a good selection of fresh fish + meat. We used both the bus and taxis with ease and found local people helpful and friendly.
The owner has a handbook which was very useful.
I would recommend this villa the location is excellent and the facilities made our stay in Madeira a delight.
