Great property. We stayed for 11 days with family and i would chose it again. The location is not far from motorways going east, west and north. Very easy to explore the island from here. Ribeira Brava has a lovely black sand beach, very easy to get to by car. If you want to leave the car at home for the day, you can easily book a Bolt as well and be at the beach in less than 10 minutes.

Amazing views

This was a great property located at the halfway point of the island so easy to explore either side. Close to a lovely beach and easy sea bathing with lots of shops too. The roads are steep but then they are anywhere in Madeira. Certainly a good workout if you decide to go walking on the numerous paths.

Séjour à Madère

Nous étions 4. Le logement est idéalement situé : à moins d'une heure en voiture de toutes les randonnées de l'île ! Nous avons eu un peu de mal à trouver le logement avec le gps. Le logement a une super vue sur les bananiers et la mer. Emplacement très calme (pas de touriste autour de nous pour un mois de juillet !). Nous avons été surpris par la taille du logement qui était grand ! Pour une première à Madère nous avons passé une excellente semaine de vacances ! Je recommande !
