Thanks, yes we all had a great time, the villa was lovely, even with 7 of us it was more than big enough for us all with plenty of room if you wanted some time alone for a while. Amazing views of the ocean from all rooms and the pool with great sunsets etc.
The kids enjoyed the table tennis and dvd`s, have not got any negative comments regarding the villa and the information folders were more than useful in planning days out which we used......
We walked the levada from the `liitle old lady`s` bakery on the side of the road to Ponta do Pargo but i think we went too far and exited the levada down a steep road which brought us out half way between Cabo and Pargo, with 1 of our cars parked by the light house this was a long 5 hr walk!!
We travelled down to Porto Moniz one morning and used the salt water swimming pool on the left hand side, amazing design and very cheap, we all enjoyed this. Travelling onto Sao Vicente we then drove up the mountain through the clouds and beyond, wonderful views and came back down by Carvalhal then back to villa at about 8pm - good day.
Dave and i walked down to the beach at Achadas da Cruz, very tricky in places but worth it. We then took the cable car back up to the top free of charge (it was supposed to be shut for maintenance but they let us on) not keen on heights - say no more!!
We all went to Funchal for the day and drove up to Monte parked, got the cable car down spent the afternoon in Funchal and then took the cable car back up - another good day.
On last day we headed for Machico which was lovely and spent the afternoon there before the short 15 min drive back to the airport.
Will defiantly return to Maderia, was gutted to leave and having travelled most of the world have not felt like this too often, even when going through security at the airport the sea is still visible through the window as a reminder of what we were leaving behind. Needed 2 weeks to see everything and spend some time chilling by the pool and a more powerful car for the hills!
To summarise, excellent communication throughout booking, met at airport as stated (even when our flight was 4 hrs late) Rose shown us around villa and her and Gilberto were very friendly. Even though the pictures of the villa are good they dont do it justice, the views and location are simply stunning and the villa is very well maintained.
Would recommend this villa to friends and family as i already have!
Spring + Mills party Bristol.

Vermieter-Kommentar: We are delighted you had such a great time and made good use of our 'suggested days out'. One we are longing to try on our next holiday is an early start for the 3rd highest point on the island (Pico do Arieiro). Some of our guests sent us some amazing photos of the 'Martian Landscape' and we are going to see that for ourselves - take a spare layer of clothes if you try this as it is pretty high (1818m). On a clear day you can see Porto Santo (which is a 15 minute flight away).
I know what you mean about the steep walk down to the beach at Achadas da Cruz; while we did that as a family with our small children I wouldn't want to do it if the ground was damp or slippery.
Thank you again for your feedback.
