Excellent accomodations

The accomodations were exceptional, a first class experience for all of our group. The hosts were very easy to reach if needed, and were quick to respond to any of our questions. Everything provided within the house was very modern and of exceptional quality, including the bedding, furniture, etc., etc. We would highly recommend this place if extravagance is what you are lookin for.

Villa with a view and so much more

We had a week at the villa and the time flew by. It is so comfortable and well equipped. You want for nothing. Ricardo and Zhorra are lovely and very helpful. We have been renting with VRBO for years and this has got to be one of the nicest places we have stayed at

Relaxing in Ribeira Brava

9 day family holiday to celebrate a decade birthday. Amazing villa with excellent views & facilities. It is as per the brochure shows & more. View from the sun deck takes your breath away. The information brochure was comprehensive & very useful. Ricardo was a welcoming host who took the time to drive my husband around the local area showing him where to park and where to shop.

Best rental EVER

The property description advertised only covers a very small portion of the actual offerings! I have never stayed at a property that offered so much variety, quality of high end furnishing, awesome locations and an outstanding host!! You can’t go wrong about anything at this property! We were a group of eight and it was paradise for all of us! Nothing cheap about the property

Absolutely Amazing!!!

Everything about our stay at Villa Cabouco was absolutely amazing, do not hesitate to stay here! The lovely Zohra and Ricardo met us at the airport and showed us the way to the villa and believe me, the photos do not do it justice. Clean, modern with every amenity you could wish for...plus a million dollar view to top it off. The icing on the cake was when Chef Duarte came to the villa and cooked a fabulous meal for us....make sure to ask Zohra for his details!!!! Loved, loved, loved our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone!! ❤

Amazing place and host!!!

This is a beautiful home and extremely friendly and welcoming host. The home was perfectly clean tidy. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the amazing kitchen and the awesome pool and of course the incredible views. We rented the hosts vehicle as well and they met my brother at the airport to escort him back to house and then gave him a mini-tour of Riberia Brava to help him get his bearings. They also met him at the airport to return the car. Hosts were extremely helpful with a welcome packet they sent weeks in advance of our stay that included anything we could possibly need regarding the house. Will highly recommend to anyone heading to Madeira.

Incredible Property and Owners!

Pictures don’t do this property justice. It’s truly amazing! The house is spacious, clean and modern, but the best part is the view - breathtaking! And you get that ocean and mountain view from each room; incredible way to wake up every morning. As for the owners, you can’t have better hosts than Ricardo and Zohra. They go above and beyond to help make your stay that much better. They honestly treat you like family. Would not hesitate to rent this house again! It’s a unique gem!

Our stay was nothing short of magical. When we arrived late at night, we were greeted by the warm glow of the villa and the beautifully lit pool. The sight of the moon shining over the town took our breath away—we couldn’t believe we were lucky enough to stay in such a gorgeous place. Each morning, we were thrilled to wake up and take in those stunning views in the daylight—they were even more breathtaking than the pictures!We made so many wonderful family memories here. The terrace by the pool was perfect for dancing, swimming, reading, and enjoying dinners under the stars. We loved the well-stocked kitchen and the outdoor barbecue area. Mornings began with yoga on the downstairs terrace and the cheerful wake-up call of a rooster!The bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable, with custom bedding and towels adding a special touch. The house had everything we needed, and the hospitality of our host was unparalleled—they even greeted us late at night upon arrival and shared their own story of falling in love with Madeira and treated us to delicious local wine. Their restaurant recommendations were spot-on, and we enjoyed every single one.Memories were made that will last a lifetime.

booked the villa with a group of friends for a hiking holiday and had the best time! The villa is so well equipped, was spotless and communication was the best I have ever had for a holiday rental - amazing welcome pack and they offered great advice for our stay. We booked a private chef as recommended by the landlord and it was incredible - stunning views and delicious food by a wonderful chef.We loved the slightly out of the way location and the local feel although if you want lots of bars and restaurants this is not the place for you. I would say you definitely need a car and you need to tackle a very steep very narrow road to access the villa - worthwhile though, and the maps provided in the welcome pack were perfect. Madeira is a beautiful place and everything about this villa was perfect!!! I couldn't fault the friendly and professional service. Thank you so much!!

Heaven and Beyond

This is, by far, the most incredible stay we have ever experienced in a rental property! The house is beautiful, immaculate, well equipped, and comfortable, and offers breathtaking views from every window and balcony! The hosts made us feel like friends and took the time to help us settle in and find our way around the community. The location was central for travel to all parts of the island, and the nearby village of Ribeira Brava is vibrant and charming. Words and photos truly cannot do this home justice, nor can they capture the hospitality and generous spirits of our wonderful hosts. Thank you for a vacation of a lifetime!

Die Villa ist sehr schön gelegen, mit herrlichem Blick auf die Küste und Sonnenuntergänge.Das Haus ist mit allen erdenklichen Haushaltsgegenständen ausgestattet.Die Zufahrt zum Grundstück ist relativ eng und steil (nicht ungewöhnlich für Madeira) andererseits dadurch aber sehr ruhig.Die Unterstützung durch die Vermieter war sehr herzlich und die Einweisung sehr durchdacht.

And the picture after the sunset is even more spectacular!As for leaving on this island for eight days… again what a wonderful experience! We maximized our time by trying to do as many activities as possible and at the end of each day we were so satisfied!We tried everything that Ricardo and Zohra recommended and please trust me we had a blast!

Fantastic villa with a vista

Fantastic villa and view! Quiet area and the sunset from the terrace and balconies were perfect after a good day exploring the island. We only wished the weather was a bit warmer to better enjoy the pool. Great location to visit the west and north of the island. Be aware you have a nice 10 min winding drive/climb to reach the villa from town center.!!. But this is part of Madeira charms!! Communication and instruction from the friendly host was very clear. I recommend this villa.
