Nicely set and renovated property. Quiet place for good rest with nice mountains views and on Nuova Levada track. The pool was nice and of good temperature. The timed breakfast was simple but tasty, although we missed vegetables.

Loved the place. Was worried it was far away from Funchal but in the end it was perfect for exploring the entire island and actually very glad not to be involved with the chaotic traffic in Funchal everyday. The only issue with location is that you need a car for everything unless you enjoy a long old walk back up the hill from Riberia Brava after dinner (which only has 2 good options for dinner anyway). Beautiful view from the room, balcony, and pool area. Great breakfast every morning. Cute dogs that come say hello when you go up stairs to your car. Responsive and friendly host. Would come back!

Not much to say except that everything was perfect !!
Filipe is a very kind host, responsive and very careful about the quality of his accommodation.
The house is fantastic ! I have rarely seen a rental so well equipped.
In addition we have the chance to be the first guest to experienced the new renovation work and the outside annex. It come with a courtyard near the pool with a roof and outdoor kitchen that is now added to the house and make it even above our expectations.
I can only recommend it...
Thanks again to Filipe for making our stay on this magnificent island even more beautiful.
(PS: You shouldn't miss the chance to eat at "Restaurant & Grill Muralha Terrace" that is a 5min drive. One of the best restaurant of the island and Filipe run the place)

We used Ribeira Brava as a base for exploring walks in the west of Madeira using the local buses. It is a modern town in a narrow valley and lacks the charms of Funchal. However, it has a several eating places, shops and a small sheltered beach. It is a hub for a number of bus routes.

I only have positives information to share. There was a coffee bar a 5 minute walk from the hostel - D Luis Restaurante- delicious local feed- skewers on a Laurel stick with chunks of delicious local beef . Difficult to get around without a car. Next time I shall rent a car.

Public transport in Madeira is a pain, so if you don't drive, it's not easy to get here. Bus information are lacking or are not very clear. Ribeira Brava is a quiet, cozy place, where you can have good restaurants, supermarket and can start nice trips from here.

Although this is listed as Ribeira Brava it is actually in Ponta do Sol which is lovely. really pretty little town with a few good restuarants tucked away down a side street. Beach is fab as you can go snorkelling on one side wihch is calm then there is a rougher section of sea if you want to swim in the waves. Nice cafe on the beach and a great one overlooking the bay.

An authentic cozy house in a quiet place with banana plantation and a bench and table on a mount slope above the ocean. Good price, attentive and helpful hostess. In the middle room there is no window and though there is a ventilator in the bathroom, you'd better dry your wet clothes outside. One more cone is not great sound isolation of the room and if you are sensitive for noisy neighbors... mmm... God bless, we did not have ones!
All the facilities for comfortable life.

Delightful safe commercial working town.
Delightful safe commercial working town. In high season tour buses stop here for a while . In winter very few tourists around . The Church is simply beautiful . Residents mostly friendly and helpful. Spanish speakers will be grand here as so many people either lived in Venezuala or are from there.
The Valley is stunning . Reminds me of the lake district.
Local bus service will take you to many a levada or other small towns in district .
I think the Public Servants in this town should be commended for it's safety, cleanliness and tranquillity.
Filomena is an exceptionally kind, welcoming host, and we are fortunate that she enjoys sharing her historic family home with others. The view of Ribeira Brava and the ocean is spectacular. We enjoyed eating fresh fruits from the garden. The separate guest kitchen with adjoining wisteria-draped (ocean view) veranda was a lovely space to have a meal or just relax. We also liked the fact that there are only three guestrooms. We had a very comfortable stay here, and would definitely recommend it for couples.
The staff is great, pet friendly, accommodating, overall nice people. We had 3 hotels cancel on us, they were our life savers. If you have a pet, don't believe the pet friendly policies in other hotels, they're not true. They only apply to rat sized animals.
The beds were surprisingly extremely comfortable. For the price i expected a rock hard mattress but they put out the expense for quality mattresses. It's close to the comfort as my bed at home, maybe not as comfortable but my bed is $4000
The appartment offers everything you need for a great stay with two people. It is situated above Ribeira Brava with great views from the two sides terrace over the valley to the sea and into the mountains. Equipped with a small kitchen, a comfortable mid-size bed and a well-sized bathroom, it is also well-maintained and cleaned. Nothing to complain and if you need any assistance or advice Pedro is there and will help you out in his very friendly, open and caring way.
The villa was incredible, everything we needed for our stay. We were very active, hiking and exploring Madeira and Raquel was the perfect host and our Villa included everything we needed. Well equipped to make our own meals and enjoy them on the patio which had an incredible view!! We enjoyed staying in Ribeira Brava, it was quieter than Funchal and much more of a local vibe. We will miss Raquel’s warm hospitality and her very cute cats. We hope to come back!
The apartment is a perfect place for those who want to escape the rush of the city yet be within 10 mins from amazing restaurants and supermarkets in Ribeira Brava down hill and max 20 mins from Funchal. I'd say renting a car is a must, not just here but on Madeira in general (in case you want to see more than your hotel pool...). The hosting couple is super sweet, friendly and helpful with anything you could possibly need.
Due to problems with the landing, we arrived at the hotel one day later. Communication about the delay was good. We received a certain discount on the first night for our late arrival and a snack when we arrived at the hotel.
The rooms have ocean views, are air-conditioned and are located in the quiet southern part of Madeira.
Although the hotel is on a hill, it is a very good starting point for exploring the hotel.
We liked the cozy, private home, it was clean and beautiful, fully equipped with all the things a person can need when it's travelling. They did a great job with the garden also, the only regret is that we didn't have enough time to fully enjoy it. We will definitely come back! If I could give a hundred stars, I would! The host is helpful, understanding and kind! Thank you for making our stay in Madeira better! 😌
Villa Cassolino may be the nicest vacation rental property at which my family and I have ever stayed: superb location on a hillside above Ribeira Brava with expansive ocean views, spotlessly clean, new, modern, bright, comfortable, quiet, easy gated off street parking, washer, fully equipped kitchen, easy check-in and prompt communication with an excellent host.
Nice location and view. This hotel has probably seen better days. Facilities were a bit tired and lagging with regards to maintenance. The personnel was very service minded and accommodating. The pool area was very nice, specially at sunset. Comfortable bed and spacious room. Breakfast was dissappointing.
The views from our balcony were superb, day and night. Very nice breakfast and lovely staff. Although the Balinese decor might seem out of place in Madeira it is tastefully done and feels like it is comes from the owner's love of Bali rather than being a gimmick.
This place is amazing. It's like a small palace in Bali style. It has everything. A big garden, private parking place, a pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. The breakfast was also amazing. It like a attraction in madeira. Defentially recommend.
The cosy style, the sea view, the location (easy access Funchal and all the activities of the island). Catarina was a great host. I recommend it and would be happy to stay there again whenever I’m back at Madeira.
Clean and good size room. Rather budget style hotel. Good location, bus stop close to hotel and ocean view, as well as restaurants in close proximity. Good for a short stay and if You want a budget stay.
Beautiful location. Very friendly and attentive host. Views are wonderful and great spot to relax and restore. It was convenient to explore the Western and Northern parts of Madeira.
Location is wonderful, amazing views from uphill and sunsets. Pedro is very helpful and responsive. We would choose Vila Brava for our next trip to Madeira.
