We really enjoyed the house and the village. Asked to heat up the pool before we arrived and it was the best decision, everyone enjoyed the pool. Close enough to walk in the morning for newly baked bread. Also possible to walk down to the stone beach.
This is a great option for large parties - individual bedrooms, plenty of space, and a gorgeous view of the Atlantic. Located just 10 minutes from Funchal, it is convenient and secure. If you are looking for a space that will fit a large party, this property should be on your short list. One note - we did not see an indoor pool as mentioned in the description, though this was not a big deal to us (and the outdoor pool was wonderful). Also, there are a fair number of steps, which is to be expected given the topography of Madeira. If you have anyone with limited mobility, I recommend confirming the elevator is good-to-go. Manuel has a gem of a place - thank you so much for a great experience!

Thank you for your review and for pointing out the swimming pool typo.. our villa has such and amazing view over the ocean that would be a shame to locate the swimming pool behind closed doors. We're delighted to host you and your family on your journey back to yours Madeiran roots. We would love to see you back again.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Vila in Madeira, and I must say, it exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was blown away by the cleanliness and cozy atmosphere of the place. It was spotless, and every corner of the villa exuded a sense of warmth and comfort.
One thing that pleasantly surprised me was that the villa looked even better in real life than in the photos.
What truly made my experience unforgettable was the owner's friendliness and hospitality. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was enjoyable. They were always available to answer any questions, provide recommendations, and assist with anything I needed. It felt like staying with a close friend rather than at a rental property.
The location of the villa was also perfect. Nestled in the beautiful surroundings of Madeira, it offered breathtaking views and easy access to local attractions. Whether I wanted to explore the vibrant city life or immerse myself in the natural wonders of the island, everything was within reach.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the Vila in Madeira to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable vacation. The impeccable cleanliness, cozy ambiance, and the warmth of the owner make it an exceptional place to stay. I cannot sing enough praises for this remarkable accommodation. If you're planning a trip to Madeira, look no further - book your stay at the Vila and get ready for an extraordinary experience. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Thank you for staying at our villa on your vacation. You will be most welcome back any time you next visit Madeira.
Accueil parfait et hôte à l'écoute.
L'emplacement, le calme, la vue époustouflante ont ravi tout le groupe sans exception.
Nous avons passé un séjour extraordinaire.
Je recommande +++ sans aucune hésitation.
Totally recommend a stay in Villa Babel. Spacious, open plan areas ideal for larger groups. Beautiful gardens and pool patio with a view to the Atlantic. Location also great, short walk to Garajau where you'll find supermarkets, restaurants and some great bakeries. Already miss it and will be planning another trip soon! Thanks so much for the hospitality!
