We just returned from a wonderful trip to Madeira. We spent about 3 weeks in Ponta do Sol in this wonderful villa - Casa Araujo.We loved the view from the house. The house was clean, check-in and communication with host were excellent. he wifi extenders were replaced when we pointed out that they weren’t working. The location was very quiet. We were in great shape from walking into town and back daily during our 3 week visit. We’ll definitely miss the workout when we return home! Very convenient location for driving around the island. All the restaurants in Ponta do Sol were excellent. We look forward to returning to Madeira, as this was our first visit.

I don't normally do many reviews, but my wife and I were thoroughly impressed our stay here. The pictures are great, but they still don't do it justice. Everything was clean and tidy, and there's a lot of room throughout the house. The view from the balcony's-there's two-is truly amazing!Nelson was without a doubt, one of the nicest people that you will ever meet! He went way above and beyond to help us during our stay!

Spectacular Views

Place had an amazing view of the town and the host was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and we enjoyed the deck and the view of the ocean. My first impression of getting to VBRO was a little bit tense but by the second day I felt comfortable with climb and the narrow road to the VRBO. Our biggest issue was with the WI-FI.

Excellent Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this picturesque home with its breathtaking views. Nelson warmly welcomed us and provided us with a list of recommendations and some wonderful treats! The home was comfortable with all the amenities you will require to enjoy evenings at home if desired. It was an excellent location to venture out and see the sites. However, you will definitely need a car and parking was available in a convenient location next to home. Overall, we loved our stay and would come back in a heart beat!

Hiking paradise

We loved our week in Madeira island. Ponto do sol was the oerfect appt to access every trail with no more than 45 min driving. Levada nova was our favorite hike and within 3k of rental. Rental was fabulous with million dollar views. The washer was so handy for muddy clothes after hiking. Check in/ out was easy. Parking was available next door. We would come again for sure! We used the recommended car hire from house manager. One thing about driving - you need a small car for the narrow roads but you need some power for the hills and sharp turns. This was one of the best holidays of our life. Thank you!

Very comfortable house and wonderful host!

This balcony view from this home was STUNNING, and the home very clean and comfortable. Our host was wonderful, and provided a lovely "care package" of traditional treats and wine, coffee, and home-produced eggs and bananas. Nelson was friendly, gracious, communicative, and provided recommendations and advice for our stay. For me, the highlight of our trip was hiking the Ponta do Sol levada - spectacular natural beauty of sea, mountains, waterfalls, plants and flowers. However, please be aware that there are sheer drop-offs, and this trail would not be suitable for young children or those who are not sure-footed. Thanks for a great vacation, Nelson!

We loved our stay here. The location was great - could even walk to a small restaurant/bar up the street. Incredible view and the hosts were lovely. Beds were very firm but that was our only slightly negative thing about the whole place. We loved it!

Breathtaking View, Lovely House

Casa Arugo became our home for 3.5 months. We did not want to leave. The beds were so comfortable & there are 3 washrooms. It was great having the convenience of a washing machine as well. The host, Nelson is amazing. The owners were always accomodating & helpful when needed. The house is spacious, large, private, clean, new & has all the comforts of home but the view from the main very large balcony is spectacular. Words cannot describe the beauty you will wake up to every day from inside or outside as the entire wall to the outside is glass sliding doors. There is a second level balcony that is marvelous. The BBQ room is gorgeous. We used it many times for ribs, chicken & fish that we purchased at the large Continent grocery store in Ribera Brava. The house location is perfect to explore the extremely quiet neighborhood on foot. It is Madeira so it is hilly. The town of Ponta do Sol is a short walk where you'll find a smaller grocery store for all your needs. It also offers delicious baked bread & desserts as well as a coffee shop. There's a small enclosed mall. A little further is the beautiful ocean where you can swim. Also a five minute walk from the house you will find 2 convenient local taverns offering excellent food & drinks at unbeatable prices. It is best to have a car because there is so many incredible places to see on the island. Be sure to do your research for the many sights. Parking is convenient & safe right next door on the owners property. Madeira is one of the most beautiful places you will ever see. Staying at Casa Arugo was the perfect choice for us. We hope to return for another long stay next year

Warm welcome with fabulous views

This property far exceeds expectations, the welcome from Nelson was friendly and informative and we thank him for the kind gifts of local produce. We had a comfortable stay with everything we needed and magnificent views of the sea and village. Good location for a walk down to the village and plenty of exercise walking back up which we did twice a day, beats going to the gym! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Amazing little slice of heaven!

Our stay at Casa Araujo was lovely. The house is comfortable, cozy and has everything you need. The most amazing thing about it is the million dollar view, breathtaking! Also Nelson was very attentive and even drove us over to the property the rest of our family was staying in! We highly recommend Casa Araujo and the beautiful island of Madeira. Zinda, Paula & Nick

Wow! Wow!! Fab! Amazing!

We stayed at this villa for 2 weeks and it was not long enough!! The villa is very spacious, new and beautifully presented! Right from the start of our stay Joao made us most welcome, meeting us showing us to and around the villa, a very pleasant gentleman who could be contacted in the event of any problems, ( we had none). The villa is equipped with everything you need during the stay, a lovely big fridge/freezer. The views from the balcony are breathtaking! Just to sit there relaxing in the sunshine (which you get all day) was lovely! Very private not overlooked. I can say this must be one of the best villas we have stayed in (and we have stayed in quite a few) Wi fi was very good, my son gave it 5* (to him one of the most important things) Would definitely stay here again, if you are reading this thinking about booking, book it, you won't regret it Would love to return.

Die Wohnung war genau so, wie beschrieben, vielleicht sogar noch besser. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Ein Auto ist definitiv zu empfehlen, ein Parkplatz ist direkt ein Haus weiter. Der Blick auf den Atlantik ist fantastisch - ich würde beim nächsten Urlaub auf Madeira sofort wieder buchen.
