Spacious modern and practical

The narrow road and carport it is only for tiny car. Nothing in a walking distance totally depending on driving.

Superb views. Kitchen equipment was enough to cook for 6 regularly in both oven and hob. Responsive management company. Excellent outdoor space. Lovely pool. Comfortable beds. Well appointed garden. Lots of different very nice eating spaces. 2 different interior seating areas.

The fittings are very well used and in some places coming apart (eg kitchen cupboards, leaking dishwasher). Gas BBQ does not work. Bathrooms need updating (loose toilet seats, no mixer taps on shower, so very difficult to get the right temperature, little airflow in bathrooms, so very stuffy and prone to damp). Wifi does not work at all well, do not assume you can do any work from the villa. Access is treacherous even for madeira and should not be considered without a 4x4. Payment for heating the pool is in addition and in cash (?), we payed 300 euro extra. An attempt to authorise an additional payment was made on our last day by the management company, erroneously. Strangely, despite extensive other contact they never attempted to explain what this was about.

Fabulous house, spacious, nicely furnished, well designed, good lighting, great bluetooth multi-room sound system on ground level, huge kitchen with marble countertops, exceptional tile/stone work inside and out, good terrace furniture. Lovely view of the sea. Very quiet.

Coffee maker: unusable. Hopefully replaced by now. We resorted to instant. Shower attached to main bedroom: hot water takes a couple of minutes to start running after turning it on. Extremely difficult to then mix the hot and cold to acceptable temperature. Arriving by car: the last 100 meters is death-defyingly steep and narrow. Was informed 4 days before arrival that if one wishes the pool to be heated it costs 50 euros per day.

The Villa is brand new and in and outside are just beautiful like in the pictures. It has the newest equipment in kitchen and things like a Google Chromecast. It's very clean, spacious and just a great place to be with a couple of friends.

Generally really good, here are some ideas for further improvement, as they just started renting the place: - the locks for the bathrooms are a bit of hastle especially if you still have wet hands, can imagine that kids might have problems with them - A booklet with info on the house would help (where to put trash, how to use washing machine, what to do if gas for barbecue is empty, how to use the fireplace, what to do at the end of the stay, ...). We always asked and got a quick response in WhatsApp, but that's probably not necessary. - the road is small and steep to get to the Villa, but you get used to those streets on Madeira anyway.
