Quinta Grande Vacations from $505

Great place to stay. very clean, well equipped, beautiful upper deck. Host quick to responsed and helpful. Should be more outfront about lack of parking and the long hike into residence. Also stated 20 minute walk to beach and store, where it is not at all possible to walk.

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel - quiet peaceful setting in beautiful gardens. Would definitely return.

Spacious apartment , functional, nice view from Back yard. The problem is the fence has a plastic lining and you cannot see the water from the sitting area. You have to go in the backyard, But there were mosquitoes and 3 levels of Neighbour . They should consider mosquito repellent and an umbrella for privacy.

1st trip 2 stunning Madeira, organised accommodation ( flight & rental car) 2 weeks b4 arriving. The new villa is very spacious for 6 (no single beds). Kitchen & 2.5 bathrms are well equipped mostly (needs corkscrew, colander, more towels, outdoor furniture, but had dishwasher & laundry tablets). Expedia shows the villa in Funchal (it is not). The letting agency hasn’t fixed this (could c the villa on other platforms, elsewhere, & google maps doesn’t recognise its street address correctly, u need the google location code from agent 2 plan). The agents need to be more responsive 2 queries (there were no current reviews & 1-2 days notice was unnerving). The villa is in a beautiful rural spot up in the mtns, closer 2 Ribeiro Frio than the main village, Sao Roque do Faial. There was no info in the villa on services in the area, tourism, or how 2 use the heat etc (we were cold, & couldn’t get a fire 2 stay lit w/ ltd supplies). It is not near a good supermkt, we stocked up in Machico. The 2 local cafe/bars serve some food at times (there is a shortcut 2 houses down), the online info is very ltd. U can’t always get food unless u organise it ahead at Bar Cedro, skewers were lovely 2x, unavailable on 3rd try. Used google translate 2 talk 2 the bar staff. We also ate down at the main village 2x, at Sanroque (open 7pm) & up at Ribeiro Frio, both good. Guidebook & WalkMe app a must. Driving is challenging. Was a good base 2 explore all corners of the island. Would stay in villa again.
