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.

Fantastic ambiance, wonderful staff, great accommodations. The villa was gorgeous, and the views were second-to-none (sunset is perfect). Breakfast was more than I'd expect at such an oasis! Multiple "pool" options, incredible gardens!!! You're essentially staying in a botanical garden - better than some "official" botanical gardens I have visited. Even had fresh flowers in the room when we arrived. Most five-star hotels don't even go that far. Bravo, Dazkarizeh73!

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.
The staff is great, pet friendly, accommodating, overall nice people. We had 3 hotels cancel on us, they were our life savers. If you have a pet, don't believe the pet friendly policies in other hotels, they're not true. They only apply to rat sized animals.
The beds were surprisingly extremely comfortable. For the price i expected a rock hard mattress but they put out the expense for quality mattresses. It's close to the comfort as my bed at home, maybe not as comfortable but my bed is $4000
This small hotel is located in a very beautiful place between the mountains.
The sound from the Levada Novo is very calming.
There is a beautiful garden, well taken care off. The rooms are nice, very good size and clean.
Mr. Danilo who runs the place is very nice and he cares about it.
The breakfast was nice with eggs, bread, cheese, cereals and fruits, every morning Carmen or Mr. Danilo was ready to prepare the breakfast and eggs.
We had a wonderful week and we absolutely love this place.
Filomena does everything do make your stay as wonderful as possible.
We stayed for 1 week and we loved everything, the breakfast, her welcome ceremony with the Madeira wine and delicious cakes, the view, location (it is perfect when you want to drive to different places on the island), the house and the garden and it always seems to be sunny in Ribeira Brava :) Last but not least Filomenas wonderful generosity and hospitality - it makes you feel like you are at home.
Perfect place to relax on the sunny southern coast of the island. The view is indeed amazing and simply sitting on the balcony enjoying it makes your stay an exceptional experience. More than that, house is new, clean and very well decorated.There is a pool with comfortable sunbeds. The hosts and entire staff are extremely polite and helpful. Very good breakfasts with local fruits. Next to the hotel there is a nice local bar with great drinks. Highly recommended! :)
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!
We liked the cozy, private home, it was clean and beautiful, fully equipped with all the things a person can need when it's travelling. They did a great job with the garden also, the only regret is that we didn't have enough time to fully enjoy it. We will definitely come back! If I could give a hundred stars, I would! The host is helpful, understanding and kind! Thank you for making our stay in Madeira better! 😌
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.
The host is great and they had left me a bottle of wine, bread, fruits, milk and coffee and water. I really like that touch. The shower pressure was great. The location is 8 minutes from ribeira brava town. Definitly need to have a car if you stay here. Loved it overall and they were great about me being later at checkout
Everything was excellent. Top host, top location, sparkling clean. Great as starting point to discover Madeira. Dedicated parking space. Very quiet, we didnt really noticed that we have neighbours. Kitchen is well equipped. Bed is spacious and comfy(personal preference). We will definitely come back.
The apartment was clean, good size and had all the amenities needed. The supermarket was conveniently just under the apartment complex. The location was 20 mins walk to Ribeira Brava town and beach. I would happily stay here again if I came back to the area. The host was friendly, nice and helpful.
The views from our balcony were superb, day and night. Very nice breakfast and lovely staff. Although the Balinese decor might seem out of place in Madeira it is tastefully done and feels like it is comes from the owner's love of Bali rather than being a gimmick.
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.
Beautiful location. Very friendly and attentive host. Views are wonderful and great spot to relax and restore. It was convenient to explore the Western and Northern parts of Madeira.
The hotel was better than I'd feared, considering it's 7.2 rating on booking.com.
It's right on the beach.
The rooms are a bit dated, but clean, so I didn't mind.
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.
