We loved everything about the house, the facilities, the pool, high up in the mountains with a fantastic view. All was very clean, and a lot of fun extra's present. The house is very central on the island, all sights easy to reach. Would absolutely like to go again. The host was very nice, loved the fresh eggs and fruit!

This small hotel is located in a very beautiful place between the mountains.
The sound from the Levada Novo is very calming.
There is a beautiful garden, well taken care off. The rooms are nice, very good size and clean.
Mr. Danilo who runs the place is very nice and he cares about it.
The breakfast was nice with eggs, bread, cheese, cereals and fruits, every morning Carmen or Mr. Danilo was ready to prepare the breakfast and eggs.
We had a wonderful week and we absolutely love this place.

Loved the place. Was worried it was far away from Funchal but in the end it was perfect for exploring the entire island and actually very glad not to be involved with the chaotic traffic in Funchal everyday. The only issue with location is that you need a car for everything unless you enjoy a long old walk back up the hill from Riberia Brava after dinner (which only has 2 good options for dinner anyway). Beautiful view from the room, balcony, and pool area. Great breakfast every morning. Cute dogs that come say hello when you go up stairs to your car. Responsive and friendly host. Would come back!

Very nice apartment. Fresh and clean. Fully equipped. Good location if you plan to visit different parts of the island by car. Big supermarket just 2 minutes by walk. Private parking in the underground garage is a big plus.

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.
the villa is conveniently located 5 minutes driving from Ribeira Brava centrum.Appartament like a hotel spacious,very clean thanks to Laura,with a breathtaking view from the terrace.
swimming pool,sauna,elevator,parking…everything is provided.
Dieter the host is always for you if you need something,check in and check out does not take much time.
Maria without her it wouldnt be the same,very warmhearted person.she makes daily delicious breakfast assorted with fresh fruits and eggs.
I will definetely come back.
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.
We loved our room (601) and the very large veranda where we were able to enjoy the sunshine every day before getting ready to go out in the evening. Our room and most importantly the bed were very clean and extremely comfortable and the hotel is in a great location. There was a slight problem with one of the sun beds on the veranda being badly cracked on one leg (it was already like it when we arrived) but when we reported to reception they made sure it was looked at and was replaced straight away.
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 appartment offers everything you need for a great stay with two people. It is situated above Ribeira Brava with great views from the two sides terrace over the valley to the sea and into the mountains. Equipped with a small kitchen, a comfortable mid-size bed and a well-sized bathroom, it is also well-maintained and cleaned. Nothing to complain and if you need any assistance or advice Pedro is there and will help you out in his very friendly, open and caring way.
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!
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! 😌
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.
A beautiful place where we spent our ten days in Madeira. Historic house full of hospitality, always perfectly clean. The owner is a wonderful person with a big heart. I can definitely recommend to those who want to experience a fabulous holiday. Thank you so much and we hope to return again. Monika and Martin
The apartment was clean, good size and had all the amenities needed. The supermarket was conveniently just under the apartment complex. The location was 20 mins walk to Ribeira Brava town and beach. I would happily stay here again if I came back to the area. The host was friendly, nice and helpful.
The views from our balcony were superb, day and night. Very nice breakfast and lovely staff. Although the Balinese decor might seem out of place in Madeira it is tastefully done and feels like it is comes from the owner's love of Bali rather than being a gimmick.
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.
