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!

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.

Great first family holiday

Villa Cabouco was a great base for our extended family holiday. We had space for myself and my partner, our two little boys (0 + 3), my mother and sister as well as my parents in law. The kitchen was a great space for evening dining and the pool was lovely after a day out in the hills. Beware the approach road on first visit, however that's well flagged by Riccardo and Zohra on arrival. Would very happily return again!

This house exceeded all expectations. The accommodations were spectacular. The views from this house were amazing. The hosts were exceptional. Ricardo showed our party the town of R Brava and made the best recommendation for restaurants, bakeries, markets, and more. The wood fire grill was also a great way to cook a few meals.

AMAZING

We are four couples that stayed eight nights in this beautiful villa. The attention to detail and caring by Ricardo and Zhora was outstanding. This is far and away the best place we have ever stayed at after many years of travelling The two of them went above and beyond for us. Ricardo came to meet us after we picked up our rental cars to escort us to the property as it was 11:00 pm. Even with the very, very detailed instructions on how to get to the villa it would have been extremely challenging. Until you’ve driven the roads in Madeira you have know idea how challenging. They also picked up groceries for us so we had food for breakfast the next morning. I could go on and on but really….AMAZING…says it all

Thoroughly deserves the five star rating

Booked based on the reviews and pictures. All were spot on and the views are stunning. Very well equipped, spotless and roomy for our party of five. The surly teenagers loved the pool, and the churassco was fab. The hosts are lovely people, there if you need them, excellent communicators. Location is lovely. Half an hour walk (uphill) to a bar, a lot quicker on the way back. Yes the main road is twisty and narrow and the one to the accommodation even narrower but very well maintained and easy to drive around. 30-40 minutes’ drive from the airport and half an hour to most other places. Decent supermarket (Continente) ten minutes’ drive. Recommend you have a car. Overall, good value, great location and a superlative property with super hosts.
