Our stay was great! The host was very friendly, providing detailed information also about the surroundings and places we can visit. We forgot something in the house and he immediately called me and found a solution for us getting our tings back.

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.

Booked on short notice, no problems - the key was ready at our arrival!
And what a view!!! High up on a mountain side overlooking the valley and ocean towards the east, making you setting the alarm clock early the next morning so you won't miss the sunrise!
And the breakfast! Friendly and welcoming staff and eating as much as you can - nothing left to wish for!
The host, Dieter, welcomed everyone personally at breakfast and we had a nice chat about this marvelous place.

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.

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 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.
This hotel was exceptional value for money. I was expecting much more basic accommodation for the money. The self-checkin was straightforward. The apartment was spacious and well equipped. Some snacks and tea/coffee were provided. There was an outdoors seating area. It was on the edge of the small town centre so sea front, restaurants and the excellent local museum were within easy walking. There was obviously a cycling group staying and they were able to leave their bikes in relative security in the foyer.
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.
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!
Really lovely and peaceful place with a great sea view - unique opportunity to discover a local village of Madeira! The owner Carla and her husband were both so friendly and helpful, offering me food and water, and was always available if I needed anything. The bed was comfy, fast wifi, all clean and tidy- and all the other guests were really nice and respectful. Great value of the price, and highly recommended! Greetings from Norway!
The apartment is a perfect place for those who want to escape the rush of the city yet be within 10 mins from amazing restaurants and supermarkets in Ribeira Brava down hill and max 20 mins from Funchal. I'd say renting a car is a must, not just here but on Madeira in general (in case you want to see more than your hotel pool...). The hosting couple is super sweet, friendly and helpful with anything you could possibly need.
Due to problems with the landing, we arrived at the hotel one day later. Communication about the delay was good. We received a certain discount on the first night for our late arrival and a snack when we arrived at the hotel.
The rooms have ocean views, are air-conditioned and are located in the quiet southern part of Madeira.
Although the hotel is on a hill, it is a very good starting point for exploring the hotel.
This apartment is a really a HOME you can rent on your vacation on Madeira. Equipped with virtually any item you have at your own house, it makes the stay really comfortable and cozy - especially with children. Ribeira Brava is an excellent getaway base, as reaching most locations on the island, North, West or East, will take you under 45 mins by car. Private parking saves the day.
This was our second stay and it was absolutely lovely once more. The hotel is beautiful, provides everything one might need and the entire staff is super friendly and helpful. The breakfast is nice and provides opportunities to chat with other guests. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen to make occasional lunches and dinners. Would stay again at any time!
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 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.
Trustworthy Host, pick up & drop off from Madeira Aeroporto, good price😊Ask for car & offroad drive! & maybe even great tips for viewpoints... Ribeira Brava has quite good beaches 😊 Your bedroom is aprox half hour from the Aeroporto by car.
This place is amazing. It's like a small palace in Bali style. It has everything. A big garden, private parking place, a pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. The breakfast was also amazing. It like a attraction in madeira. Defentially recommend.
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.
Unusual hotel, jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, there is a sauna and swimming pool on site. Incredible lot of flowers and plants, delicious breakfasts with exotic fruits and juices
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.
