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 price was very good for this private home. Great value. Beds were comfortable, temperature high up on the cliff was cool, so we didn't need an air conditioner (lots of windows to open). We went in late June. Great security - they had an electric gate that kept people off the property (but anyone could have jumped over the wall pretty easily), Car was parked in a secure garage, and there were metal security blinds over all of the ground-floor windows. There is a bar right next door, but we didn't have any problems with the noise or rowdy/drunken patrons. We wondered if the owners had put all of the security on the building because of previous problems with the bar - but we had no issues.
Kitchen was fine, sofa was fine, TV worked. There is a very large patio which looks out over the valley and ocean.
We temporarily lost the keys to the property and the owner (a very nice lady) kindly drove over to the house and gave us a spare set of keys... THANK YOU - you saved us.

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
Very beautiful and cozy house, absolutely clean and tidy. Contains everything you need, e.g. snorkeling gear, fully equipped kitchen, Outdoor BBQ etc. Living room is very cozy in case of bad weather and has a fireplace. Very nice sun terrace with sunbeds and a beautiful pool in a garden. The view over Ribeira Brava, mountains and the ocean is absolutely incredible! Last but not least: the owners were extremely nice and helpful, totally recommend this place!
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!
The Quinta do Cabouco is amazing. The house is beautiful, cozy, with stunning views, it feels like being in a different world! The breakfast was excellent. We spent there a week and every day received a different kind of local fruit and cake, home made jams, fresh orange juice, etc. Filomena was very kind and helpful with everything. It’s just the perfect place if you want to spend your holidays in Madeira in a really unique place.
Wonderful stay. The host – Eduardo is very friendly and outspoken. He took great care of us always asking if we needed something. Knows a lot about places to see in Madeira. The room was comfortable with a fantastic balcony view (our favourite thing, evenings on the balcony with a glass of wine). The room looked much better than in the pictures. There was a variety of produce provided for breakfast all fresh and delicious.
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! 😌
Great small property with 2 bedrooms above an open plan living room - kitchenette.
Really clean and with all appliances / equipment you need including a washing machine.
Location next to the famous Taberna da Poncha but whilst it is always busy in the early evenings in particular the noise isn't excessive. Parking is over the road and road is fairly busy as the main North - South road through centre of Madeira.
Why can I only give this hotel the maximum of 10 stars?! Way more would be appropriate! It was such an amazing surprise at the end of our travel! We even canceled our plans to enjoy our day at this property, to be in this wonderful jungle-like garden, to enjoy the infinite pool and the spa and to cook in the beautifully set garden kitchen:) Highly recommendable!!!
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 villa was fantastic and spacious, with a lovely terrace including sea view and outdoor bath. The decor was lovely, and slightly Bali-style. Having breakfast each morning on the terrace was a real bonus, and the staff even organised a breakfast for us to take up the mountain early one morning. Everyone working at the hotel was really welcoming.
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 🍀😊
It was a great view over Ribeira Brava and a very nice place. It was a bit scary to drive the car in the very steep streets to and from the place though. An experience! We really enjoyed our stay there and the host also gave us a very nice tip about a good, local restaurant.
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!
The room was spacious. Close to the sea and restaurants. Everyone was very nice and helped us with the information we needed. There is a mercado close to the hotel and a petrol station. Good value for money
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.
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.
