Villa Brava Atlântico

Beautiful house, views and location. Vegetable gardens, fruit trees and fresh eggs every day. Can’t recommend this place enough. It was so quiet and relaxing. Property manager was quick to respond to our questions and give recommendations. Would definitely stay here again.

We had the most fantastic stay at Villa Brava Atlantico! The house was equipped with everything you could imagine—and then some. We were glad we didn't pack our hiking poles, the house came with 2 sets!! It was clean and spacious, with amazing hills and ocean views. We made good use of the garden by making fresh salads for our meals and loved having fresh eggs from our resident hens. The host welcomed us with a beautiful assortment of snacks - just what we needed after a long day. The drive into the property can be challenging with a narrow street, but we got accustomed to it as the days passed. There is a little restaurant and grocery store within walking distance and Danny's bar. There are also plenty of options in the town below. Lurdes was a fabulous host and answered our questions promptly. It was the most beautiful house and location we have every stayed at. Bravo!!

One of the best if not the best house we have ever rented ... breathtaking ocean view from all rooms ... very well equipped and clean ... being allowed to take fresh vegetables, fruits and even eggs from the chickens on the property is very unique and we were very thankful for that ... a big ''Obrigada'' to Lurdes who answered all our questions right away ... not to forget the great welcome tray with wine, food and chocolates !!! What an overwhelming treat !!! No question, we will definitely come back again asap (-: Susanne & Yogi from Germany

If you're searching for a base camp for Madeira, stop your search here and go ahead and book Villa Brava Atlântico! This property is absolutely stunning...inside and out. The host, Lurdes, was a fabulous host. She had a nice welcome package consisting of wine, breads, jam, etc. that was such a welcome surprise. The location is so centrally located to hit every part of the island in quick fashion. We will be back...and when we return, we will be booking Villa Brava Atlântico again!

Where do I start - the house, the pool, the upper gardens with chickens, vegetables, fruits etc. Accommodations are first class. Our host made our stay seamless. Property was close to the village below us the neighbouring villages and really anything on the island is only a 40 minute drive. There was also a restaurant and a small grocery within a five minute walk and a small little bar called Danny’s where we had a glass of wine with the locals and some fresh roasted peanuts.

Upon our arrival we we’re amazed at this beautiful modern villa overlooking a breathtaking view of the ocean, cliffs and natural surroundings. We enjoyed a wonderful food basket filled with a great selection of local foods, breakfast items, chocolate and Madeira wine. Such a treat! The place was extremely clean and provided all necessary amenities one needs for a comfortable stay. A very cool feature was the large garden located on the property, in which we were free to use what we wanted (carrots, lettuce, and more!). There are also chickens who lay eggs daily, so we had fresh eggs nearly every morning. Just a heads up, the drive up to the property is quite narrow and is only accessible by car (whether your own or via taxi). Overall, Lourdes is an excellent, generous and attentive host and we recommend this property to anyone considering it. We hope to come back again!

This is one of the best short term stays we ever had in our years of travel. The property is amazing and looks even better in person. The villa itself was super clean and well-equipped. We didn't stay long enough to truly utilize the kitchen, but you could definitely cook up a full meal here if you want to. The rooms are lovely and each have an ensuite bathroom. The garden is a wonderful added bonus and guests are allowed to pick fruit/veggies. I think my in-laws were more ecstatic about that than anything, particularly since we don't see a lot of tropical fruits where we are from. Lastly, the property manager and staff are just the most efficient, professional and responsive host. They respond quickly to all our questions, and are available to drop by to help us with any issues. Staying here is definitely the highlight of our trip and we would not hesitate to book this property again.

We greatly enjoyed our time at the villa. It could not have been any better!

We travel often and this is hands down the best vacation home rental we have encountered. The home is immaculate. The view is breathtaking. The home has all the amenities anyone could need. We traveled with our 2 year old. The house had indoor toys, outdoor toys, high chair, toddler spoons forks and spoons, and even hooded infant towels. We were welcomed with a basket of snacks and wine and often visited the 4 tier garden for fruits and vegetables for cooking. We can’t wait to go back!

A quite stunning villa with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic. With the added bonus of terraced gardens were you can pick in season fruit and veg. And if the chickens are happy- get fresh eggs for breakfast. This is Madeira at its best and works well if you like being off the tourist trail. To make the most of it either get a car or use the very friendly local taxis- nothing is far away.
