After initial hiccups (arrival messages hadn’t got through) we were met by a charming property manager who showed us around (and alerted us to the Christmas festival bangs we would hear in the early mornings). The flat was well located for local bus services and shops, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location was windy (because of the funnel effect of the valley) and the sound of the river was ever present, but the south facing balcony was sheltered pleasant. For fans of football the northern balcony and kitchen gave a very good view of the local football pitch. The kitchen was well appointed although the pans were rather large for two people and the gas oven has no grill. The showers were good and the bathrooms have bidets.

A spacious and comfortable apartment that has everything you need for a pleasant stay for a (larger) family and also allows some privacy if it is rented by, for example, two or three couples or a group of friends. Many balconies, an elevator and a parking space in the garage are an added value. If you are ready to cook something yourself, you have a well-equipped kitchen, there is a large grocery store nearby, and you have a large selection of fruits and vegetables at the nearby farmer's market. However, if you prefer to eat out, there are several restaurants within walking distance. The goal of our visit was to explore this beautiful island, which did not disappoint. The location of the apartment provides an excellent starting point for this, as Ribeira Brava is located in the middle of the southern part of the island, which allows easy and quick access to all parts of the island. The hosts were very caring, professional and cooperative. The apartment fully met our expectations and contributed to the wonderful week we spent in Madeira. And we will be happy to come back again.

We liked the apartment very much while we had a lot of space and privacy for our family (4 persons). To have two bathrooms was very convenient and all the rooms in the apartment were big enough to live in. The apartment is very clean and tastefully decorated/equipped. It felt nice that there was an indoor carparking. The location was perfect while the apartment is located very central relative to the main roads to all parts of the island. You can walk to the beach and some nice restaurants in only 7 minutes. We surely want to come back here when we are able to visit Madeira again.
