Wonderful!

This villa is absolutely superb. It is modern, very clean, spacious and has everything you need. The views are amazing and it is incredibly peaceful, situated in a banana and mango plantation. The pool is great and it's lovely to open the lounge doors and step right into the water. Check in and out was easy and Bruno was always contactable if we needed him (we didnt). The real gem here is the beach hut. We thought we might meet guests from the other villas down there but we went down 4 times in a week and had it, and the beach, all to ourselves. The sunset is incredible from down there. Don't be put off by the drive in and out; yes it is steep and there is only room for one car but it takes just Iver a minute end to end so you see unlikely to meet anyone coming the other way. We went out each day and it happened to us just once. We cannot recommend Villa Do Mar III enough.

Absolutely gorgeous property and grounds with astounding views. Would definitely recommend. The drive to the property is harrowing to say the least with a big car, narrow with no way to have cars pass each other and 20+ degree grade. Secondly the driveway makes turning around really difficult with a big car. We rented a Mercedes c class which is fairly long and turning around was a 5 minute process. In short property highly recommended but if renting a car get something small and nimble.

Tolle Aussicht, guter Komfort

Das Haus war insgesamt sehr gepflegt. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist einzigartig! Wir wurden sehr nett in Empfang genommen, und uns wurde alles ausführlich erklärt. Der Pool wurde alle paar Tage gereinigt. Zur Begrüßung gab's einen Obstkorb und einige Getränke für die Erstversorgung. Einziger Nachteil war die Zufahrt. Die ist nichts für schwache Nerven. Trotzdem ist dieses Haus auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!

Une magnifique villa dans un cadre exceptionnel

La villa est magnifique, propre et très fonctionnelle. La piscine est juste magnifique et le cadre est splendide. Le seul point à soulever est l'accès qui est compliqué mais pas insurmontable. Un séjour exceptionnel.

Fabulous!

We loved this villa and it is in a beautiful and quiet location but only a short car journey to local towns and restaurants etc. We would definitely choose this villa again if we return to Madeira.

Excellent Villa

It’s exactly as the website describes, facilities are excellent. Pool was amazing. Views were idilic, watching the sun set every day. We were hoping for a relaxing holiday and that’s just what we got. Madeira was beautiful and we need to return as 1 week was not long enough. Renting a small car is required due to the access road. Thank you

Traumvilla am Meer

Wunderschöne, geschmackvolle, großzügige Ferienvilla in Traumlage. Ein toller Platz, um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Hervorragende Betreuung, sehr netter Vermieter und Hausverwalter, der sich um alles kümmert. Einziges Manko: Enge, steile Anfahrt von der Küstenstraße zum Haus, nur für geübte Fahrer.

Superbe

Un magnifique séjour dans cette très belle villa. Tout était parfait. La vue est superbe et la villa est très confortable. Nous avons passé énormément de temps dans le jardin qui est très bien entretenu. L'endroit est magnifique et d'un calme... Le rêve! L'accueil a été un sans faute. Merci beaucoup à Acacio pour tout, le dîner était délicieux! La gestion en amont et après par mail a été aussi parfaite. En ce qui concerne la route pour y accéder, elle peut effectivement faire peur aux gens qui n'ont pas l'habitude de manoeuvrer. Mais pour nous, ça n'a pas été un problème durant le séjour, tout s'est bien passé (dès la première descente/montée, on est habitués). Bref, nous reviendrons sans hésiter!

Breathtaking!!!!

We have just returned from an amazing holiday at Villa Do Mar III. The pictures of the villa found on the website do not do it justice…it is even better than it looks. People go on about the road down, yes it’s daunting at first, but you soon get used to it, and what’s waiting for you at the bottom is well worth the ride down. The villa is superb, the pool amazing and the views spectacular. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and on arrival the owner supplies some basic rations and a bottle of wine…..much appreciated. Also offered is a complimentary meal at the owners seafood restaurant in Camara de Lobos, which is fabulous. At night, sitting out at the “Lookout” with a bottle of wine watching the sunset is surreal….and actually where I proposed to my girlfriend (she said yes). All in all, a fantastic place that we will definitely return to! Top-Tip: Get a hire car!!!!

Excellent villa with stunning pool and views

The villa was really gorgeous. The only thing that marred our stay was the weather - it rained every day but one! However, we still managed to make good use of the pool and enjoyed exploring western Madeira. The complimentary fish supper at the owner's restaurant was also a lovely and unexpected surprise, as were the fresh mangoes and other fruit left for us!

A taste of paradise

We stayed at this villa June/July for two weeks, the villa exceeded our expectations. It was a little taste of paradise, the pool was amazing and the view breathtaking. Any little hitches or teething problems were quickly dealt with in such a professional and friendly manner. I cannot recommend this villa enough and in fact the whole Island of Madeira is a must for all travellers. I would just also like to say a huge thank you for making my birthday so memorable with a beautiful meal at the villa do carne, thanks to everyone involved. I would certainly like to return to this villa in the future and will also encourage all my friends and family to book also. First class!!!

Superb Villa

We have just returned from a 2 week stay in this beautiful villa. The pictures do not lie it is absolutely stunning, very clean with excellent amenities, the pool was amazing as were the surroundings. I would like to thank Sr Acacio for making our stay so special and for all the help he gave us enabling us to really enjoy our stay, also for the lovely night in Vila da Carne. Big Thank you also to Morrissio our taxi driver/ tour guide. Although the access road is pretty scary work is due to start very soon on amending this problem. I would recommend this Villa and would love to return to it. Madeira and its people are very special.

Traumurlaub in schönem Haus an herrlicher Lage

- Sehr freundlicher Empfang - Gepflegtes, schönes Haus - Herrliche, ruhige Lage inmitten von Bananenbäumen - Einzig die steile und schmale Zufahrt ohne Ausweichstellen war gewöhnungsbedürftig - Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen

Better than the pictures!

We hoped that the villa would be as beautiful as the pictures show, but is was better! Although the access road is really special - we loved our stay in this villa (especially the pool which we used every day). We made every day trips around the isle and were altough impressed by the friendly people. Our plan is to come back one day!
