Only the Location was stunning
The Villa could have been a 5 star experience. The location is incredible with unbelievable views and the peace and quiet of a country inn. However, as nice as the views and location were, the condition of the furnishings and accoutrements left a lot to be desired. The bed in the main bedroom needs to be replaced immediately. The kitchen was appointed with the bare minimum in terms of utensils and the outdoor furniture around the pool and on the balcony and decks needed replacement. Although the listing indicated that the home had a clothes dryer, it was inoperable and although the housekeeper was notified, no effort was made to fix it. The towels and linens were rough and worn. Rui, the property manager did not return VRBO email messages concerning questions about the Villa, so there were some surprises when we arrived. If not for the incredible location, this would be classified as a mediocre experience at best. It appears that the investors are more concerned with milking all the money out of the property instead of maintaining it to be the stunning place it could be.

Lovely private villa with 180 degree Atlantic view
On arrival we were very pleased with the quality of the villa, the private and secluded location and the stunning uninterrupted views of the Atlantic. However, we had a few issues over the first few days, which included cockroaches in the kitchen drawers, our bedroom, and bathroom. We reported this, to both the housekeeper and the property manager, expecting a pest control company to arrive. Nothing happened. We also reported that the dishwasher had stopped working after three days, and despite promises to repair it nothing was ever done during the next three and a half weeks of our stay. We also reported that the oven door didn't close properly, and were told to raise the oven temperature. This resulted in the oven control knobs being too hot to touch. The general kitchen equipment was very poor. The lawned garden looked wonderful on arrival, but a month later when we left, the grass was up to 1ft high in places. The gates were fixed open so we could not stop two local stray dogs using the garden as a toilet. As compensation for these problems, we were offered a three night stay at another villa, which was very nice, but we assumed the issues at Villa Miradouro would be dealt with in our absence. This did not happen. Overall, it seems to us that there was a reluctance to spend money to properly deal with the issues, although Maria the housekeeper did her best and was extremely thorough and helpful.

just bliss!!
rwe ead the reviews before we booked and we were not dissapointed. This place is just amazing, could hear a pin drop its that peaceful. We hired a motorbike for the week to explore and couldn't wait to get back to the villa every night. Weather wasn't hot enough for us to use the pool but it didn't matter, our stay was amazing. Its a very steep hill, with hairpin turns, I wouldnt suggest staying here without a car. A perfect place to meditate, be still, watch the ocean. This place has blown us away so much we are looking into buying similar. Check in was perfect, two little noisy oink cats every day to make us smile. gorgeous view, 360 degrees blue sea and the stars at night were beautiful. Would 100% return. Just a pointer though the nearest shop is at least 15 minute drive away, very basic and expensive and although we had some fresh bread and butter and jam when we arrived we definately should have taken some decent coffee and fresh milk and eggs on the way from the airport to have basics there. But thats just us, It was clean, massive for two people, washing machine and dryer came in handy, stunning gardens total bliss. Thank you for letting us enjoy your home

We came here for our honeymoon and it was perfect. You cannot get the scale of the ocean view in a photograph, it's amazing. The villa is very spacious and the pool has more of the stunning view. All the facilities you would expect plus a lovely barbecue outbuilding with its own sink and fridge, very handy. The housekeeper Maria is very helpful and made us feel so welcome, also there was excellent communication with the villa representative, Rui, both with good advice on the local area. If you want peace and quite this is the place.

Excellent very spacious and well eqipped villa, very secluded down a very steep and winding road.
Perfect for peace and quiet. Apart from the adjacent view point (not intrusive) there is nowhere near by that you can walk to. The nearest restaurant - O Precipício - is about 1.2 km away but about 150 metres above, so very steep. We managed to get our car down to the villa entrance from the road to unload luggage but struggled to get the car back to the road - we didn't try that again. Apart from these "good to know before you go" points we would recommend the villa, and this part of Madeira, very highly.

We spent almost one week at this home. The views are beautiful. We were looking for calm, peaceful, silent area and we got it there. We enjoyed every minute we spent there. Beds were good, bathrooms clean, kitchen well equipped and fireplace ready to use. It was really great time for us.

PERFEKTE VILLA mit Traumaussicht
Wer es noch nicht weiß: MIRADOURO bedeutet im Portugisischen soviel wie "Aussichtspunkt". Und genau das ist diese Villa: ein perfekter Aussichtsort direkt an der Steilküste. Die Betreuung durch Rui und Maria ist hervorragend (besser geht es nicht!). Der Pool ist sehr groß und perfekt sauber - ebenso die komplette Villa: extrem grosszügig und extrem sauber! Das BBQ-Haus (ja: es ist ein eigenes HAUS nur für das BBQ!!) ist einzigartig! Ich war schon in vielen grossen Villen aber sowas hab ich noch nie gesehen! Auch der Garten ist riesig und die eigenen Feigen- und Mangobäume tragen traumhafte Früchte, die man gerne verkosten darf (kann ich nur empfehlen ;-) Alles in allem ein unglaublicher Luxusurlaub für Leute, die gerne abgescheiden, ruhig und selbstversorgt Urlaub machen. Es gibt aber auch in kurzer Entferung (ca. 10 Min. mit dem Auto) einige gute Lokale falls man nicht selbst grillen oder kochen möchte. Es war die schönste und bestausgestattete Villa, die wir bisher bewohnen durften. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt auf Madeira und in der Sonnenuntergangsvilla sehr genossen. Meine Familie war bereits von ca. 17 Jahren auf dieser Insel urlauben und haben die Sonnenuntergangsvilla bereits damals (nur von aussen) gesehen und uns gewunschen dort ein mal unseren Urlaub zu verbringen. Die Aussicht ist Traumhaft und wir haben sowohl Pool als auch die Ruhe genossen. Die Haustiere wie die Katze und die beiden Hunde sind sehr liebenswert und zutraulich. Die Insel selbst hat sich in dieser Zeit doch sehr verändert und es ist vieles für den Tourismus geändert worden, ich sehe nicht alles als Vorteil. Der Preisunterschied auf der Insel ist enorm. Zur Villa, sie ist von der Bauweise sehr schön - einige Dinge gehören repariert und instandgesetzt bzw. erneuert. Schweren Herzens sind wir wieder abgereist, wir wären gerne länger geblieben.

Neben dem superschönen Objekt, welches man selbst für die schönen Inselausflüge nur ungern verlassen mag, hat uns die Betreuung durch Rui Agriao sehr geholfen- selbst nachts um halb drei lotste er uns nach verspäteter Ankunft zu Madeiras vielleicht einziger 24 h-offenen Tankstelle und ermöglichte den Checkin im Haus. Das ist Einsatz, vielen Dank nochmal! Achso, für alle Nespresso-Enthusiasten- es gibt eine Nespresso Maschine, die in der Hausbeschreibung nicht erwähnt ist ;-)

Unbezahlbarer Ausblick, ABER…
Der weite Blick auf den kompletten Atlantik ist natürlich 1a mit Sternchen. Viel besser geht es sicherlich nicht! Allerdings ist das Haus/Villa etwas in die Jahre gekommen und es wurden nötige Arbeiten nicht ausgeführt. Als Beispiel kann ich die Silikonfuge am Waschbecken im Badezimmer nennen. Die Hälfte fehlt komplett, die andere Hälfte ist einfach nur vergammelt. Wir hatten ein paar Tage sehr starken Regen, es tropfte an verschiedenen Stellen von der Decke. Die Mikrowelle ist sehr alt und auch was Geschirr und Küchenequitment angeht, könnte und sollte man einige Dinge austauschen. Für den Preis habe ich einfach etwas mehr erwartet und wurde somit etwas enttäuscht. Im großen und ganzen hatten wir trotzdem einen schönen Urlaub! Meines Erachtens nach sind die Bewertungen für das Objekt etwas zu positiv. Der Besitzer sollte wirklich ein paar Euro in Renovierung/Modernisierung stecken, damit der Aufenthalt dann auch wirklich perfekt ist. Maria, die Haushälterin, ist natürlich ein Schatz, keine Frage!
