Guest Reviews

• Kreuzhuber (9/5): -
• Barbara (8/5): -
• Elodie (8/5): parfait - belle vue La décoration est faite avec beaucoup de goût, plein de rangement pour nos valises On se sent rapidement comme à la maison
• Maria Fernanda (9/5): Ideal para grupos grandes - Casa muy cómoda, con todas las instalaciones posibles, habitaciones cómodas con numerosos baños, dos cocinas totalmente equipadas, piscina, área de juegos con mesa de billar, gimnasio y sobretodo unas vistas impresionantes. Ideal para grupos grandes. Sin duda volvería. No hay radiadores en todas las áreas y de noche en enero se pone un poco frío, es lo único.
• Łukasz (10/5): Nasze Maderskie Wakacje - Lokalizacja obiektu na wyspie jest super. Chociaż wjazd do willi jest stromy. Fanny jest bardzo kontaktowa i pomocna. Są cztery sypialnie, w tym dwie mają własne łazienki. Dom jest ogromny, ma cztery kondygnacje. Lokalny bar z ponchą jest naprawdę klimatyczny. Widoki z willi są urzekające, widać ocean. Wydaje się, że drobne niedociągnięcia (np. stara deska do prasowania czy suszarka do prania) są do zaakceptowania w wakacje. Wystrój domu już niezbyt nowoczesny. Najgorsze były chyba jednak poduszki (małe i prawie bez wypełnienia) i twarde materace (szczególnie w sypialni na samej górze). Myślę, że wymiana tych paru rzeczy, znacznie podwyższyłaby komfort i zadowolenie wynajmujących.
• lesley (10/5): Amazing villa perfect for families with older children - I have teenage sons, which can be difficult to accommodate on holidays ( need to be active all the time). It was perfect!! The gym 🏋️‍♂️ games room.. swimming pool was amazing 👏. The villa is set in an ideal part of the island and a good base to go on days out and to chill and rest. The local town is small with black rock beach and pool ( they are developing areas)However, we had a meal the last night in the restaurant Murhani at end of road coming down from villa...seen sunset very picturesque staff friendly and food was gorgeous. Our favourite beach was in Calheta ( cheap food stall in shopping area) and parking is cheap but get there early. The villa is on the higher part of Riveria brava. Therefore, if not good with heights percerver as once in villa, views spectacular. Drive way is steep but doable. Would highly recommend. Fanny came to clean pool filter during stay and had issue with washing machine ( my fault needed to close door properly 😑 )was sorted quickly. Was very helpful and had left useful information about area. Felt safe, and villa was peaceful...Sun rose behind Villa so cooler in morning and set infront..hot midday and all evening. Would recommend mosquito spray..higher up and wet grassy areas. Lots of bites.
• Nathasja (9/5): Mooie grote villa met mooi uitzicht en privé zwembad! - Wat een mooie grote villa met prachtig uitzicht! Echt verrassend groot! Heerlijk met een privé zwembad! Het werd best heel warm in de avonden en nachten en er was maar 1 ventilator.
• Greet (9/5): -
• Goossens (9/5): - Het huis is top! Groot en alles voorzien! Het zwembad is heerlijk! De ontvangst hartelijk! Warm water werkt op zonneboiler dus niet genoeg warm water bij slechter weer. Matrassen waren te hard voor ons.
• Aliaksei (10/5): Exceptional - The villa is really big. Much space, well designed and organized kitchen, rooms, play area. It was just a super stay. The crowing of roosters in the mornings.
• Timothy (9/5): Yes, would definitely go again 👍 - Excellent (clean) large villa, with eight proper beds (not put-ups). Driveway for two (possibly three) cars (free parking). Good facilities, 4x bedrooms, 5x bathrooms, 2x kitchens, WiFi (main lounge area only), a proper pool table and table-football (not nasty cheap toy ones), cocktail bar, a good (suitably sized) swimming pool and patio area. Sunsets were great from the villa. A couple of really good-sized supermarkets in Ribeira Brava . Excellent location for exploring the island. Can walk (up the hill) to Levada Nova from the villa. Six of us stayed here (three couples in 50's), all of who fully enjoyed this villa, would most definitely recommend and would stay there again. Locally there is a fantastic (family run) restaurant 5-minutes walk up the (slight incline) hill (Bar e Mini Mercado Rio), says it is a 'Snack-Bar / mini-market', but the homemade food there is excellent quality, BBQ food, beef on skewers, rack of ribs, half-chicken, king prawns, banana on espada (black scabbard fish), picado, lasagne, all of which we tried on numerous occasions and we're very pleased with the food and the service. 200ml Madeira (Coral) draft lager was €1.10 (Sep'24). These are not things we didn't like, just things we feel need mentioning: There is no air-conditioning in the bedrooms (but fans were supplied). Driveway is a little steep, but OK for confident drivers. Showers were sometimes cold, sometimes hot. The bed in the main bedroom may be too firm for some (but we liked it as we like a firm mattress). Cocktail bar needs a 'cocktail shaker'. Swimming-pool was a little cool (September), but not too cold (we still went in), don't think pool-heating was available as an optional extra? You would need to drive or Taxi into Ribeira Brava, no pathway to walk, only road.
• Peak (9/5): Superb -
• Denise (10/5): Exceptional - Great house, great host!
• Heidi (9/5): A great value for money spacious villa with breath taking views of the sea . - It was great that the owner met us. She was v responsive to texts etc. It didn’t bother us but access to the property is v v steel so if you have mobility issues you might struggle .
• Frank (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roman (10/5): Exceptional - This house has a lot of space. There are a lot of entertainments for cases when it is rains. I would rather just give an advice. It would be great to notify that not all devices work becase we have spent some time to understand how it should work. kitchen hood, coffee Espresso machine, ice maker and disposer werr not working. However there are two more working coffee machines and the landlord has fixed the kitchen hood after our request)
• Anonymous (10/5): Peaceful, luxurious and relaxing - We had an absolutely amazing time and the villa was out of this world. The owner was lovely and welcoming, She gave us many recommendations of where to go, things to do and places to eat. The Villa was immaculate and exactly as show in the photos, We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to coming back again. Plenty of room for a family of 8 and maybe more, towels provided and also every amenity needed, washing machine, dish washer, iron, hair dryer, plenty of showers and facilities, it exceeded our expectations There wasn’t anything not to like, just disappointed we only booked for one week, will definitely be back in the future for two weeks instead
• Mariusz (10/5): Villa Fanny 01.2023 - The house is very large and has the necessary equipment. It has two equipped kitchens, five bathrooms. The terrace is large and is on the west side. We had beautiful sunsets. The house is clean and the sheets and towels are fragrant. Internet has great coverage in every corner of the house. And it's not easy with such a large area. The pool was clean, the water was cold, but that's the charm of the February weather, not the owner. The owner Fanny is kind and actively waits for the comments or needs of her guests. She is helpful in organizing your stay and attractions on the island. She also advises on renting a car. She told us what to visit and what we should try. Sun loungers and a barbecue area await you in the garden. The relaxation zone is a real men's cave. Billiards or table football are professional devices, not cheap toys. The equipment in the gym for amateur training also helps. The house is located in a quiet area. There is a nice local restaurant not far away, where mostly local people hang out. We were four people and sometimes we were looking for each other. The house is perfect for a group of friends. Fanny, as declared, I am organizing a return visit in the near future. Nothing
