Guestbook for Villa Miradouro

1.
"This really is a superior villa enjoying a quiet position overlooking the sea. Everything about the accommodation was excellent with high quality fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms.The BBQ is a superb feature and was well used. Maid service could not be better.Whilst some may consider its location to be off the beaten track we found it to be a superb centre for touring the West of the Island ,in particular. We would certainlr recommend it to like minded friends."

"Location and aspect were excellent - very private and quiet. The accommodation was perfect with high quality equipment and furnishings all maintained to a very high standard. Prebooking advice, welcome and ongoing support were all excellent. Good walks nearby where you can really appreciate the landscape. Recomended if you want to get away from it all for some early season sun."

"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, children's 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."

"My wife and I have stayed at many villas over the years in many countries and Villa Miradouro is one of the very best. Its location is superb and its spacious accommodation met all our expectations. The gardens are extensive and the pool excellent. We made full use of the BBQ once we came to terms with the fact that things got very smokey in the BBQ house. We would recommend the villa to anyone who wishes to visit Madeira.
Robin and Catherine"

"Dear Mr Castanho,
Just to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Madeira.
Your villa and gardens are beautiful and the best we have ever stayed in, we had a very chilled out holiday. The view and sunsets are magnificent and your swimming pool was excellent, we used the pool most evenings as it was very hot around 6 pm which we found very strange but it was a lovely way to relax after being out during the day.
Your housekeeper Maria keeps your villa spotless and she was very pleasant.
We found Marta to be very helpful and she was very informative when she showed us around your villa, she also gave us lots of informatiion on places to visit.
We will definitely be back, soon I hope.
Many Thanks
The Jones Family."
