Overall okay
We were a group of 10 friends looking for an affordable place to stay together, and this was the perfect choice. The house was exactly as described in the adv. Clean and big but not so well-equipped (we only had salt in the kitchen and not enough toilet paper) and the wifi didn't work well. While the location isn't the best, having cars made it easy to explore the island, so it wasn’t an issue for us. Overall, a great stay!

Beautiful Villa
Firstly, the photographs in VRBO do not do this villa justice, it's huge! Villa was well furnished and Silvia was really quick at getting backmtomus if we needed help. The only improvement would be to have either A/C or fans, as it was hot at night.

Excellent villa
A huge villa with lots of space. It had everything we needed, the villa was clean and the host was very welcoming and was always available to help. The pool was very nice and the outside barbecue was an added bonus. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Madeira!

Brilliant family holiday
A really generous sized villa finished to a high standard. We were on a family holiday with 8 adults & 4 children - there was ample room. There are 3 bars on foot (we didn’t eat there but did drink). A car is required for shopping, only a few minutes drive to Calheta front for the supermarket but a steep walk so you could not do a shop and carry back. We loved our stay here, there isn’t air conditioning however which is stated in the advert. Silvia is a fantastic host and helped us with local information and even did a shop for us as we arrived late - massively appreciated. Would definitely recommend the villa as well as the area, we did a couple of hikes which were spectacular. Many thanks.

Superbe maison dans les hauteurs de Calheta
Tres belle maison, parfaitement restaurée et au calme. De nombreuses chambres, chacunes avec leur salles d'eau et leur toilettes. Un grand espace salon/salle a manger. Parfait pour vacances en famille ou ami. Je vous recommande vivement cette propriété !

Our own private mansion with pool
This place was very spacious and mansion-like. There were lots of places to relax and a wonderful pool to dive into at the end of the day's exploring. We encountered some bad weather but the house was weather tight, peaceful and although high up on a hill, it felt very grounded and safe. There were little bars and restaurants within walking distance and a church spire next door to help us navigate our way back. The kitchen could benefit from just a few complimentary extras like dish washing liquid, handy towels, pepper (salt was provided), sugar and perhaps tea. But we did get a lovely welcome bottle of port and a delicious local cake from our host. We all agreed it would be good to have a few more hooks or towel rails in the bedrooms to hang the wet ones. Minor points only. The stay was fantastic and the host Silvia was awesome!
