The accomodations were exceptional, a first class experience for all of our group. The hosts were very easy to reach if needed, and were quick to respond to any of our questions. Everything provided within the house was very modern and of exceptional quality, including the bedding, furniture, etc., etc. We would highly recommend this place if extravagance is what you are lookin for.

Fantastic villa with a vista

Fantastic villa and view! Quiet area and the sunset from the terrace and balconies were perfect after a good day exploring the island. We only wished the weather was a bit warmer to better enjoy the pool. Great location to visit the west and north of the island. Be aware you have a nice 10 min winding drive/climb to reach the villa from town center.!!. But this is part of Madeira charms!! Communication and instruction from the friendly host was very clear. I recommend this villa.

Great first family holiday

Villa Cabouco was a great base for our extended family holiday. We had space for myself and my partner, our two little boys (0 + 3), my mother and sister as well as my parents in law. The kitchen was a great space for evening dining and the pool was lovely after a day out in the hills. Beware the approach road on first visit, however that's well flagged by Riccardo and Zohra on arrival. Would very happily return again!

Wow - what a gem on such a magical island

This house exceeded all expectations. The accommodations were spectacular. The views from this house were amazing. The hosts were exceptional. Ricardo showed our party the town of R Brava and made the best recommendation for restaurants, bakeries, markets, and more. The wood fire grill was also a great way to cook a few meals. This was simply a super place to reside for our week long journey in Madeira. We didn’t want to leave!

Where should I start… what a wonderful vacation!The words cannot describe the reality of the beauty of this place. The house is indeed stunning and has everything you will need for a perfect vacation, the hosts are more than welcoming… the best we’ve actually found so far, but the scenery of the place is magnificent! You will have such a blast just watching thee sunset every evening as you will have a different one every day! And the picture after the sunset is even more spectacular!As for leaving on this island for eight days… again what a wonderful experience! We maximized our time by trying to do as many activities as possible and at the end of each day we were so satisfied!We tried everything that Ricardo and Zohra recommended and please trust me we had a blast! Thank you for making our vacation so special and we will love to see you again soon!

An outstanding experience in every way

The villa is exceptionally beautiful. Many thanks to Ricardo and Zohra for the very friendly service from booking to departure. The views, pool area and perfectly equipped kitchen are sensational and made our stay very enjoyable. We were a group of 5 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The fun part for my sons was the drive up/down to the villa. We would definitely recommend Villa Cabouco for a perfect vacation. BR

Perfect family or couples retreat/adventure!

This is a very special place with views and amenities that will take your breath away! We were all family of 8 (4 couples and it was perfect). Being able to eat most of our meals there inside or outside (December) was a treat because the kitchen was expertly stocked for a family of 8! Ricardo and Zhora were extremely hospitable and even let a private chef (which they recommended) into the house so a birthday meal was prepared for our arrival!

9 day family holiday to celebrate a decade birthday. Amazing villa with excellent views & facilities. It is as per the brochure shows & more. View from the sun deck takes your breath away. The information brochure was comprehensive & very useful. Ricardo was a welcoming host who took the time to drive my husband around the local area showing him where to park and where to shop.

Delightful property with very helpful owners

We loved our stay in this property in February 2024. The villa had everything we needed and the owners were excellent at helping us settle in. The villa isn't easy to find and they drove us there so when we drove out, we knew how to get back. The villa had everything we needed, including an excellent kitchen, outdoor barbecue and pool. There is also a garden with lawn. There are many places to eat in nearby Ribeira Brava, as well as numerous places for food shopping. We would highly recommend the villa.

We had the privilege of staying at Ricardo’s beautiful home! As a host, he was amazing and even took the time to drive with us to show us the easiest way to go up and down the mountain, showed us where the closest grocery store is, and the easiest way to get to the villa. The house itself is in excellent condition, very tidy and well maintained. Its easy to see how much Ricardo loves his home and the island! We definitely look forward to coming back in the future!

Perfect Stay

Our family stay in this great villa deserves five stars in every aspect. The accomodation itself is luxurious and extremely well equipped. The views are stunning and the location up in the hills is great. The pictures are realistic. The check-in process with Ricardo was the best ever. He even gave us a quick tour through Ribera Brava and recommended some restaurants. We tried out two of them and very muched liked both of them. Thank you so much for your great hospitality, Ricardo, and a terrific stay on Madeira. We will be back :-)
