The staff was really friendly and attentive, the location was very nice with restaurants, small shops etc., the room was clean and cleaned each day. We would prefer more comfortable matraces and pillows but it was okay. The breakfast was good, lots to choose from but same each day.

The host was responsive. Due to flight cancellations and delays, the host allowed us to check in late and was very responsive through the msging app.
We had 3 people and it was definitely comfortable with each of us having our own bed. View is amazin from the balcony. Keep in mind there is a washer, but there is no dryer. However, air drying on the balacony is a great option.

We used Ribeira Brava as a base for exploring walks in the west of Madeira using the local buses. It is a modern town in a narrow valley and lacks the charms of Funchal. However, it has a several eating places, shops and a small sheltered beach. It is a hub for a number of bus routes.

I only have positives information to share. There was a coffee bar a 5 minute walk from the hostel - D Luis Restaurante- delicious local feed- skewers on a Laurel stick with chunks of delicious local beef . Difficult to get around without a car. Next time I shall rent a car.

Public transport in Madeira is a pain, so if you don't drive, it's not easy to get here. Bus information are lacking or are not very clear. Ribeira Brava is a quiet, cozy place, where you can have good restaurants, supermarket and can start nice trips from here.

Although this is listed as Ribeira Brava it is actually in Ponta do Sol which is lovely. really pretty little town with a few good restuarants tucked away down a side street. Beach is fab as you can go snorkelling on one side wihch is calm then there is a rougher section of sea if you want to swim in the waves. Nice cafe on the beach and a great one overlooking the bay.

An authentic cozy house in a quiet place with banana plantation and a bench and table on a mount slope above the ocean. Good price, attentive and helpful hostess. In the middle room there is no window and though there is a ventilator in the bathroom, you'd better dry your wet clothes outside. One more cone is not great sound isolation of the room and if you are sensitive for noisy neighbors... mmm... God bless, we did not have ones!
All the facilities for comfortable life.

Delightful safe commercial working town.
Delightful safe commercial working town. In high season tour buses stop here for a while . In winter very few tourists around . The Church is simply beautiful . Residents mostly friendly and helpful. Spanish speakers will be grand here as so many people either lived in Venezuala or are from there.
The Valley is stunning . Reminds me of the lake district.
Local bus service will take you to many a levada or other small towns in district .
I think the Public Servants in this town should be commended for it's safety, cleanliness and tranquillity.
Filomena is an exceptionally kind, welcoming host, and we are fortunate that she enjoys sharing her historic family home with others. The view of Ribeira Brava and the ocean is spectacular. We enjoyed eating fresh fruits from the garden. The separate guest kitchen with adjoining wisteria-draped (ocean view) veranda was a lovely space to have a meal or just relax. We also liked the fact that there are only three guestrooms. We had a very comfortable stay here, and would definitely recommend it for couples.
Looks exactly like the pictures. Very clean, modern interior. Super convenient to park your rented car in the dedicated parking spot. In the middle of our 10-day stay the house was thoroughly cleaned and we got fresh sets of towels, linen etc. We felt very welcomed partly thanks to Sidonia, our point of contact from Home in Madeira, who showed us around initially and then during our stay kept us informed about for example weather warnings, current events in Funchal etc. We'll make sure to come back
The villa was incredible, everything we needed for our stay. We were very active, hiking and exploring Madeira and Raquel was the perfect host and our Villa included everything we needed. Well equipped to make our own meals and enjoy them on the patio which had an incredible view!! We enjoyed staying in Ribeira Brava, it was quieter than Funchal and much more of a local vibe. We will miss Raquel’s warm hospitality and her very cute cats. We hope to come back!
The hotel offers a delicious breakfast, with a wide variety of food for everyone’s taste. Also there is a very handy “breakfast bag“ option in case you have to leave early in the morning. But the breakfast starts quite late – at 8:30. Also we enjoyed the stunning ocean view from the swimming pool and our room, it is a really great place to enjoy sunsets. The room was really spacious, with a large comfortable bed, a useful mini fridge, a bath in the terrace.
Really lovely and peaceful place with a great sea view - unique opportunity to discover a local village of Madeira! The owner Carla and her husband were both so friendly and helpful, offering me food and water, and was always available if I needed anything. The bed was comfy, fast wifi, all clean and tidy- and all the other guests were really nice and respectful. Great value of the price, and highly recommended! Greetings from Norway!
You provide your own breakfast, facilities good. While all Madeira rooms have high standards of housekeeping, this is very good value and commensurate. Handy for bus "Station", parking might be a problem, but I don't go on holiday to go driving myself. 5 minute walk to either supermarket, beach 6m.. My 3rd visit, intend to call again: Ribeira Brava is quieter than Funchal, and well located for recreational walking routes.
Filomena is a great host, it has been a pleasure to meet her. She greeted us with a cake, Madeira wine and orange juice. She has been also very communicative prior and during the stay, The rooms are well kept and clean, in a vintage style. The rooms are in a historical house. Breakfast are nicely served and always on time. Fresh (squeezed) orange juice served each day, fresh fruit and pastry.
I met interesting people in this hostel. The host family who live on-site are really fun, funny, welcoming and helpful. The beds are good and its great to have only 2 people per room. Easily reachable by car. A good place to be able to travel from to many parts of the island. One morning driving down to Ribeira Brava I was lucky enough to see a huge pod of dolphins swimming past - magic.
Villa Cassolino may be the nicest vacation rental property at which my family and I have ever stayed: superb location on a hillside above Ribeira Brava with expansive ocean views, spotlessly clean, new, modern, bright, comfortable, quiet, easy gated off street parking, washer, fully equipped kitchen, easy check-in and prompt communication with an excellent host.
This was our second stay and it was absolutely lovely once more. The hotel is beautiful, provides everything one might need and the entire staff is super friendly and helpful. The breakfast is nice and provides opportunities to chat with other guests. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen to make occasional lunches and dinners. Would stay again at any time!
This was incredibly great value for the price we paid. The apartment is huge has has everything you need for a comfy stay. Moreover, Ribeira Brava is a great place to set up a main base for exploring Madeira: besides being beach-side town, it has restaurants, grocery stores, and easy access to the highway. Would highly recommend for a long stay.
The location of the house at the top of a hill is unique - with the amazing garden overlooking the landscape and the ocean. And the house itself has a lot of personality, offering a great alternative to standardized unimpressive hotels. In addition, it is located at a quiet place in the middle of a nice garden and surrounded by nature.
The flat is comfortable, clean and has everything you need 👌🏻 the view from the terrace is just awesome 🤩
Fernanda and Filipe are taking so good care of you
everything was just fine and we would definitely recommend it for a stay on Madeira if you like it a bit more quiet and not directly in the city center 🍀😊
Jurgen and Enya were fantastic host, there are many gems on the island of Madeira but this place has to be one of best. The views are amazing and you can tell a lot of attention has been made to the little details to make this the perfect place for a getaway.
This place is amazing. It's like a small palace in Bali style. It has everything. A big garden, private parking place, a pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. The breakfast was also amazing. It like a attraction in madeira. Defentially recommend.
This place is an absolute gem and out stay was the best part of our trip to Madeira. Lovely terrace, great pool and jacuzzi, extremely helpful personnel and incredible gardens. If I go back to Madeira, I’d love to stay here again!
Location is wonderful, amazing views from uphill and sunsets. Pedro is very helpful and responsive. We would choose Vila Brava for our next trip to Madeira.
