Wow! What an amazing accommodation in a beautiful part of Madeira! We could not have asked for a better 5-day stay. As others have remarked, our host Filomina was so gracious and so kind throughout our stay. She takes wonderful care of her guests from the moment you arrive. Breakfasts each morning were terrific -- a great way to start the day before heading out to walk or hike. Each room offers a great ocean-view. Our room was so comfortable -- a great place to return to after a busy day of walking. Qiuinta do Cabouco is peaceful and quiet -- a delight after a busy day. In the town of Ribeiro Brava there are some very nice restaurants visitors can choose from. We had excellent dinner meals each night of our stay and the service was outstanding. After-dinner walks on the beach promenade were a great way to top off the day. We will visit Madeira again in the future, and we will most certainly book with Quinta do Cabouco. Thanks Filomina! You Rock!

    I met interesting people in this hostel. The host family who live on-site are really fun, funny, welcoming and helpful. The beds are good and its great to have only 2 people per room. Easily reachable by car. A good place to be able to travel from to many parts of the island. One morning driving down to Ribeira Brava I was lucky enough to see a huge pod of dolphins swimming past - magic.
