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!

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.

The owners are so sweet and welcoming. They were there to welcome us on the first day with a big smile. Any questions we had we knew we could go to them without any issue.
Location is great with a perfect view of sunset and ribeira brava.
The studio was beautiful with a great view from the patio and the bedroom.
Everything you might need available in the kitchen and washroom.
We loved barbequing there more than once and loved the pool area.
Can't recommend this place enough, it was one of the highlights of Madeira for us and we looked forward to spend a relaxing afternoon after having done a difficult hike in the morning! Did not want to leave.

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.
If you are accomodated in Dazk Golden Estate, you can still use the swimming pool, sauna and whirpool in Dazkarizeh73 for free, but you have to walk there up the hill through garden and cross the street into different hotel complex (not far though). I was a bit dissapointed to find out about this only after we arrived. Dazk Golden estate has fitness & nice (but very poorly equiped) garden kitchen and grill area. Free parking - car is a must in this part of Madeira, although I saw a few buses stoping nearby.
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
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!
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.
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.
Villa Tabua is a beautiful villa with decor that I taste. That whole house is good equipped, was no anything missed. The mattress and the pillows so good we slept well. The pool nice and really clean, the sits around the pool is plenty and the wiew is amazing. We met with Luis the owner whoes a very kind gentleman. We got a local honey cake and Madeira wine like as welcome gift. Thank you Luis and Manuela
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.
Beautiful, renovated place, surrounded by green hills and silence in which we spent one week. Everything (rooms, common area, swimming poll and garden) was very clean and well-kept.
All the staff was very helpful and the breakfast gave us strength for long trips every day.
Perfect location for trips all over Madeira but renting a car is recommended.
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.
Nice appartment with ocean view (from bed :)), clean and comfortable. Perfect parking place infront of the house. Everything ran smoothly and communication with host was easy. We were very pleased by the help of the hosts when there were fires on Madeira and we felt safe and enjoyed our holiday thanks to them. Much appreciated!
The house is beautifully situated on the hillside above Ribeira Brava surrounded by banana plantations in an old settlement area. It is large and spacious, 4 people could comfortably enjoy their holiday there. The outside area with the pool is also appealing. Nevertheless, we did not really enjoy our stay in the house.
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 cosy style, the sea view, the location (easy access Funchal and all the activities of the island). Catarina was a great host. I recommend it and would be happy to stay there again whenever I’m back at Madeira.
The view is stunning, as is the location. Check-in was uncomplicated and the room looks nice. Sadly I did not have sufficient time to check out more but I put the Guesthouse on my list for future trips to Madeira.
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.
