Not for the faint-hearted.
Although a bright and pleasant house, it is showing signs of a lack of maintenance, with numerous marks on the walls, several lights that don't work (along with the clock and the safe), doors which constantly rattle with air movement, handrails with peeling paint that comes off on your hands and clothing, and a front door lock which doesn't latch.
The location is good, with great sea views, and even though the airport is so close you can see down onto the runway, the noise is not excessive.
We stayed for 3 weeks, but the pool was only cleaned once, towels and bedding only changed once, and the villa wasn't cleaned at all. Not that we're dirty people, it just could have benifitted from a sweep or hoover, and the bathrooms being cleaned.
Don't come to Madeira at all if you're a nervous driver, because the roads are all very narrow (single track) and incredibly steep, and the villa driveway is also both of these, with a very tight turning point by the house. We had a comparatively small car (Citroën C3) and I'm a confident driver, but I wouldn't want to try and turn anything bigger between the spikey-concrete walls 😉
The hosts, Peter and Fiona, were very cheerful and pleasant people, and were very accommodating with regards to check in and out timings.
Paul B.
