Stunning Views from a Luxurious & Homely Property!
Review Submitted: May 13, 2008

Once off the main highway, and you've followed the winding roads through the hillside and the tunnels, you find the secluded private hilltop property of Villa Miradouro. The gardens are beautifully set on 3 levels ... we were spoilt for choice in an evening whether to watch the sea views from the rooftop terrace, the house top balcony, the swimming pool terrace, or the BBQ walled garden terrace. The attention to detail in the property is fabulous and everything was spotlessly clean, new and fresh - it was as if I'd walked into my own home, the views from the master bedroom balcony are simply stunning. Perfect for utter relaxation, cleanliness, privacy and luxurious comfort. You need a car here, as the island has so much to offer - but don't even think of going to Madeira if you want noise, crowded sandy beaches, childrens adventure parks, late night bars, nightlife or rowdy neighbours - it is none of these thankfully, but you have to be prepared for that, and this area lends itself to those that are looking for a quiet, refined holiday with great restaurants a short drive away, good day trips out, and all the luxury you could ever want in a stunning property. The pool is large and ideal for swimmers, rather than very young children. Our children were 5 and 7 but good swimmers which meant that they enjoyed the pool. Younger children would need constant watching.
Owner's Response: Dear Sue and Jay,
Glad to hear that you and your family thoroughly enjoyed exploring Madeira and the luxury settings the Villa has to offer.
Although the pool is 10 Metres long, the first 2 Metres are at 90cm in height before it starts slopping towards the deeper end. In the property description we inform our renters that due to the pool and verandas for safety reasons we recommend parental supervision at all times where young children are concerned.
