The staff was really friendly and attentive, the location was very nice with restaurants, small shops etc., the room was clean and cleaned each day. We would prefer more comfortable matraces and pillows but it was okay. The breakfast was good, lots to choose from but same each day.

Fantastic ambiance, wonderful staff, great accommodations. The villa was gorgeous, and the views were second-to-none (sunset is perfect). Breakfast was more than I'd expect at such an oasis! Multiple "pool" options, incredible gardens!!! You're essentially staying in a botanical garden - better than some "official" botanical gardens I have visited. Even had fresh flowers in the room when we arrived. Most five-star hotels don't even go that far. Bravo, Dazkarizeh73!

Madeira Island Villa Oceane Ribeira Brava, hotel in Ribeira Brava

Providing a garden, Madeira Island Villa Oceane Ribeira Brava offers accommodations in Ribeira Brava. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking, and free Wifi.

The price was very good for this private home. Great value. Beds were comfortable, temperature high up on the cliff was cool, so we didn't need an air conditioner (lots of windows to open). We went in late June. Great security - they had an electric gate that kept people off the property (but anyone could have jumped over the wall pretty easily), Car was parked in a secure garage, and there were metal security blinds over all of the ground-floor windows. There is a bar right next door, but we didn't have any problems with the noise or rowdy/drunken patrons. We wondered if the owners had put all of the security on the building because of previous problems with the bar - but we had no issues. Kitchen was fine, sofa was fine, TV worked. There is a very large patio which looks out over the valley and ocean. We temporarily lost the keys to the property and the owner (a very nice lady) kindly drove over to the house and gave us a spare set of keys... THANK YOU - you saved us.

    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.

    Looks exactly like the pictures. Very clean, modern interior. Super convenient to park your rented car in the dedicated parking spot. In the middle of our 10-day stay the house was thoroughly cleaned and we got fresh sets of towels, linen etc. We felt very welcomed partly thanks to Sidonia, our point of contact from Home in Madeira, who showed us around initially and then during our stay kept us informed about for example weather warnings, current events in Funchal etc. We'll make sure to come back

    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

    Really lovely and peaceful place with a great sea view - unique opportunity to discover a local village of Madeira! The owner Carla and her husband were both so friendly and helpful, offering me food and water, and was always available if I needed anything. The bed was comfy, fast wifi, all clean and tidy- and all the other guests were really nice and respectful. Great value of the price, and highly recommended! Greetings from Norway!

    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! 😌

    Why can I only give this hotel the maximum of 10 stars?! Way more would be appropriate! It was such an amazing surprise at the end of our travel! We even canceled our plans to enjoy our day at this property, to be in this wonderful jungle-like garden, to enjoy the infinite pool and the spa and to cook in the beautifully set garden kitchen:) Highly recommendable!!!

    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.

    Great hotel for reasonable price. The room was clean, spacious, with a beautiful view. Beds were comfortable and for breakfast many options. I liked the peaceful location in the middle of the island, a great starting point for daily trips by car. Riviera Brava has a nice beach and a few restaurant options. Fully recommend!
