Madeira
Some seven hundred kilometres west of the African coast,
Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island, lapped by the
warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The first island to be discovered
by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important
resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble
beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular
island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and
famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from
those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and
sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture,
history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities,
added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for
everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by
fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a
population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but
also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This
makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops,
shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants
and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic
splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a
thoroughly modern atmosphere.

Reviews
Lovely villa. Stunning views. Great location. we had a lovely holiday and would definitely book again.
Very nice place with a nice view. We stayed for 8 days and were happy with the service provided. The partnered car rental works as well, as cars are essential to navigate around the island. Nice quiet place to relax all in all, recommended :)
Stunning villa with a unique ocean view! A dream family stay in a fully equipped house! The children took full advantage of the playroom and waking up to the ocean will remain an unforgettable memory! To be recommended!
You will never stay in a villa with a more incredible view!
We spent a wonderful week in this villa. The location is great with breathtaking views. The house is in a residential area, very quite, still close to restaurants and shops. The garden is amazing, full of beautiful flowers. The pool was a must for our kids, nice size and deep enough. Norberta was very kind and helpful with everything we wanted. Thank you. We often used the entertainment area in the evenings and the hometrainer was a big plus for me. Starting the day there while watching the morning ferry to pass by. We loved to have breakfast outside on the terrace before we left for our levada walks. We recommended this villa already to many of our friends and we will be back for sure.
Die Aussicht und die Ruhe sind einfach unbeschreiblich. Und dieser viel Platz, die wunderbare Außen Küche, der Pool den man beheizen kann. Das war einer unserer schönsten Urlaube. Auch die Kommunikation war sehr schnell und sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Einmal klemmte die Türe und nach 2 std war es wieder repariert und tiptop. Wir werden wieder kommen
A truly beautiful villa. There is so much space. We loved the pool, games room and gym equipment but the main attraction was the spectacular view. Sunrise and sunset were amazing. Thanks to Carolina too who, from booking to check out, was so helpful. We can't wait to return to Madeira
Das Haus ist sehr komfortabel ausgestattet. Toll ist die untere Etage mit Fitnessgeräten, Tischtennisplatte, Billardtisch und Kicker. Die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet. Es gibt gemütliche Sitzecken mit grandiosem Ausblick aufs Meer.
The Villa itself is very spacious - two very nice en suite rooms perfectly suited four adults and baby. There was a third room with twin beds probably best suited for kids rather than adults. Good facilities and very relaxing to hang out. The views: amazing. Full sea views with sunrise and sunset; and actually sea view from most of the rooms in the villa. Typical day was to take a 5-10 min stroll up the hill to the local market and bakery for fresh bread, orange juice, eggs and of course the fantastic pastries. Then back to villa for breakfast on the terrace. You really need a car here if you want to explore - we did and enabled us to see quite a bit of the island. So typically we would go out for the day then either dinner at the villa or at the local restaurants, which whilst not much choice were perfectly decent. Tips: we paid for pool heating which was probably a waste as we weren't swimming that much and I doubt it made a huge difference (but with a baby we didn't want to chance it). We stayed one week and got transfers with our Madeira and hire car for four days - this seemed to work really well for us - could not fault it and the transfer is worth the money in my opinion. Other tip for driving: go slow! It is very steep and windy. Baby was car sick. Also we tried to drive to Monte and the car was not powerful enough to climb the steep road, so don't try it in a small car full of passengers! Would I stay again or recommend: yes. We loved the local feeling of Garajau, and it was ten minutes to Funchal by car, few minutes to supermarket. Thanks Our Madeira team!
Aquarela was perfect; location, amenities, space, views, - I could go on and on. Norberta at check-in was helpful and available for questions throughout our stay. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance and a full-service mercado just a short drive. Don't miss out on this gem. You won't be disappointed.
This Villa is amazing been here for 3 days now and 4 days left, This is one,if not the most stunning beautiful villas we have stayed in all you can wish for the views are something else that we only dream about The owner you meet on arrival is lovely welcome pack left even when we hadn't ordered one Villa is well equipped and spotlessly clean when we arrived we highly recommend this villa

Fantastisk beliggenhed, fredeligt, men samtidig i gå afstand til restauranter. Meget stor og flot villa, rent og pænt og med dejlig pool, udekøkken og skøn terrasse med storslået udsigt over havet.

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
Lovely villa and amazing holiday. Superb views. Would recommend and definitely plan to return in the future.
A really great place to stay with the best views of the Atlantic. The service from the team at Our Madeira team was excellent.
Bonjour, Voilà maintenant près d'une semaine que nous sommes rentrés sans encombre chez nous et je voudrais vous remercier pour la qualité des prestations que votre agence nous a fournies. En effet que ce soit pour le transfert de l'aéroport, la mise à disposition à une heure tardive de la maison très confortable, la propreté dans laquelle nous l'avons trouvée, la parfaite concordance avec la description et les images sur le site internet, la réactivité à régler au plus vite les petits problèmes constatés, la facilité de location du véhicule et son prix tout compris, tout a été parfait. Merci encore et bonne continuation Bien cordialement, G.André
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.
