Summary: Really lovely villa, 3 luxurious bedroom suites and lovely open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Kitchen has everything you need (great to have tea, coffee, oils, herbs, spices, dishwasher tablets and washing liquid, cling film, foil etc all provided). Air conditioning throughout worked well. Outside there is a beautiful veranda, out doors kitchen, log BBQ, dining area and pool. We had the pool heated (extra charge) and it was just perfect. Easy walk down to bars, restaurants and shops on Estrada Monumental and about 35 minutes into Funchal, coming back is quick in taxi and not expensive.

The location is 8min by car from Funchal, a big supermarket is also 7min by car from the house. It is a quite neighborhood with a very nice view on the ocean. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the stay very much - we can highly recommend to book the house.

Summary: Everything about our stay at Villa Alvinho was wonderful. Joana and Clementina were easy to work with, the house was exactly as described, and the cleaners did an amazing job tidying half way through. In addition, I’m beyond appreciative of the baby supplies left for me to use that allowed our travel experience to be much easier. I cannot wait to visit Madeira again, and will absolutely try and stay at Villa Alvinho a second time!
