Spacious and clean house. Excellent kitchen and a large table for a group of friends. Beautiful view of the ocean, Funchal and landing planes. Quite a steep road for a car. It is better to use the serpentine rather than the road suggested by the navigator.

We had our flight back in the afternoon and there was no problem to stay in house an hour longer. I think that if we would need a place to stay in Madeira we would choose the villas once more!
