Although in the meantime the hotel is so well known & always fully booked, the staff is still amazing friendly & takes time for a small chat.
What I like most is the trust they bring towards the guests, no strict rules like pool opening hours & it‘s always quiet, people do not abuse it. Also the honesty bar where it is possible to take out in trust is great!
The hotel is of high quality but not new any more & for me it‘s sympathetic that it doesn’t shine & glance in luxury, it‘s still familiar, beautiful garden & peace.
I love this place!

Villa is huge and well equipment. You have everything there what you need. (Even slippers and hiking sticks!) You can enjoy the sun and take a dip in an amazing outdoor swimming pool with the incredible view of the village and the ocean. The view is just breathtaking.
Ana’s place has a private big parking in front of the house. You have to drive down from the main street, just be careful because GPS was leading us around, from the other side throughout a narrow banana trees alley where you can't pass😅

We stay 4 days at Casa da Vargem,
It is an amazing villa, with a wonderful view to the ocean .
The casa designed in modern clean architecture ,which together with the panoramic view of the nature around, gives kind of “Zen atmosphere” .
The place is really amazing, much better then the photos!
Miguel the owner use to work for many years at hotels, and the Villas are his dream come true. You can feel and see his professional touch in every detail at the villa which has 2 bedrooms, leaving room, wonderful shower, amazing swimming pool, hot tab at the garden, very well equipped kitchen and privet garden with plants and herbs that the guest can use for cooking or tee.
There are also many other useful facilities that you can use such as washing and drying machine, every thing is new and works perfect.
The bottom line is -5 stars experience.
Next time we will be in madeira we will be back to Casa da Vargem.🌺

Location turned out to be good, quite a small village with some lovely friendly residents. Great pizza place opposite. Few nice bars and shops. Bit isolated, but great taxi sevice and some buses. The property itself was lovely. The annex (little house we called it) was ideal for the young couple in our party. Having mobility issues myself, the downstairs bedroom and adapted bathroom were ideal. The ramp access provided helped too. Garden and outdoor space were great. The views were fabulous. Lovely well equipped kitchen, with all mod cons. The place grew on me as the week wore on, pity we weren't there longer to try out the bbq facilities and enjoy the garden some more.

We had an amazing time staying at Casa do Miradouro! The views from the veranda were absolutely breathtaking and a favourite with the whole family!!! 😄 Our host, Leontina, was extremely friendly, kind and hospitable and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for such an amazing stay. Everything was provided for (WiFi, hairdryer, washing machine and drying rack, dishwasher, plenty of kitchen utensils, lots of towels and good water pressure) so that our stay was as comfortable as possible. The kitchen was even stocked with tea, coffee, spices, salt, olive oil and vinegar. We were greeted with bottle of local vine and full bowl of fresh fruits ( and were given extra during our stay- all much appreciated! ). There are no stairs inside the house as the accommodation is just one floor but Leontina was extremely kind to let the kids play in the garden downstairs which had a hammock, a trampoline, palm trees and more incredible views! All the bedrooms were spacious and had comfortable beds, wardrobes with extra towels and bedsheets, chest of drawers and lamps. One of the bedrooms had an en suite which we very much enjoyed. The bathrooms and whole house were very clean and perfect for 4-6 people. We had an incredible stay at Casa do Miradouro and highly recommend it!!!!! Quiet location with just goats and rooster waking you up. Great base for exploring Madeira if you want to escape crowds at Funchal. Levada 2 walks ( Nova & Moinho ) nearby- just get down 5-10 minutes walking for start of levada Nova walk, breathing views! and waterfalls

A quiet little town, with nice streets and observation decks. There are several restaurants and only one shopping center in the center. It's a very nice sunset and it's always nice and warm here.

Very nice small town with a nice beach and good restaurants. There are 2 levadas to walk. There is a small shop in town where you can find everything you need. Good connection to the main road that runs along the coast to the capital. A cafe on the cliff and a cape where you can walk and see the cliffs on both sides.

Ponta do Sol in itself is nothing really special.
Ponta do Sol in itself is nothing really special. But given the fact that you have rental car you can just discover the whole island.
It is highly recommended to visit Calheta, there is a very nice harbour and little boulevard. Must go there is restaurant Manifattura Di Gelato.
Another very good restaurant is La Vaca Negra in Funchal; best steaks ever!

Such a pretty little place - lots of winding streets - many pedestrian only, and good restaurants too. We mostly ate at the hotel, but also at a restaurant called Caprice which was fantastic and great value for money.
We were delighted to find lots of interesting sculpture around the place which was fascinating, and the people were all very chilled and welcoming.
The pavements are mostly cobbled, and of course there are lots of hills so challenging if your mobility is reduced as my parent's was - didn't stop us though - we just took our time and there were regular places to sit and rest along the way.

Its a very good place to base yourself as its very easy to get around the island from there, there are may different walks within a short drive.. It is a very small but quaint place. You get the most amazing sunsets in Ponta do Sol .
We had a perfect time at Encanto do Sol! The views are amazing and the garden had so much to offer - from delicious fruit and herbs to relaxing spots from which to enjoy the views. The appartment itself has everything you need and was super clean. On top of that, Juan and Catia are amazing hosts, very kind and welcoming and always ready to help and offer advice. Ponta do Sol is a cute and relaxed town from which you can easily explore the rest of the island. All in all, it was a perfect stay and we couldn't wish for anything else!
What a beautiful place! The staff here are incredibly warm and friendly. The hotel is lovely with beautifully decorated and comfortable shared areas with wifi access. Wifi does not reach the rooms, but it’s an excellent opportunity to disconnect for a bit. The room was very comfortable and clean. There is no AC or fan, but we felt cool and quite comfortable despite our stay occurring during the peak summer heat. The breakfast was delicious and varied in a buffet style, and we enjoyed one dinner there.
Adelaide - is very perfect and empathic host, very helpfull with every issue we had, She sent us links to nearest facilities and had time for a small chat :). Facility exceeded our expectations regarding space, parking place , hospitality and of course nice tarace view at the ocean. Bathroom and kitchen had all necesary facilities , with some welcome fruits. It was very nice place to relax and arrange trips across island.
Unbeatable value-for-money. If you are into traveling around the island with a rented car (especially into the mountains) and you prime functional accommodation with a more than reasonable price, this is it. Put that together with two of the most friendly, atentive, and accommodating hosts I have ever met, and you get a picture of what waits for you if you book this place.
Great location, close to the Ponta do Sol. You can hear and see the ocean right from your balcony. Beach is about 100m away, you only need to cross quite a busy street. There is also a nice, glazed private pool on the outside terrace as well as some sunbeds and parasols. Parking is free, on the street. We did not have any problems with street parking there.
I needed to stay in Ponta do Sol and this hotel turned out to be a gem because my room not only had a gorgeous view and balcony, but it was also spacious and private. Plus, the breakfast was excellent and generous, and for dinner the nearby 90 degrees Bar & Grill was perfect. Highly recommend!
Really clean and well equipped apartment, has everything a person need to stay mid to long term. The restaurant right opposite is such a gem too. Walking distance to supermarkets and view points nearby. Ideal for those who travel as a couple or want to stay long term and cook etc
High end finishes everywhere. Tasteful decoration. Well equipped. Excellent location just a few minutes from Ponta do Sol and Ribiera Brava. The pool is excellent (we had it heated - also a plus). The view is AMAZING. Service provide by the agent Lovelystay local team was superb
Great location, a short (if steep) walk from the beach and restaurants at Ponta do Sol. The villa is well equipped and has incredible views over the town and out to sea, with a wraparound terrace to make the most of the sun and scenery.
Spectacular location with ocean view. Interesting walk to waterfall from Hotel. A wonderful breakfast was included. Dinner available in the Hotel was also good.
The infinity pool and bar really added a spa feeling to our stay.
The location is wonderful! The terrace, overlooking the blooming flowers and the pool, was a great place to hang out or to have breakfast/dinner. Host was very helpful with local tips for the whole island.
Great Location in Ponta do Sol. Sunny and warm area of Madeira. Beautiful house with terrace and pool. Just like on the pictures. Managed by a very nice owner and team. We will come back!
Awesome location with amazing views.
Architecture of the hotel is stunning.
Many little areas that invite you to relax and spend your time.
Good drinks and the best breakfast on Madeira.
This hotel is the perfect definition of a boutique hotel. The staff really makes you feel special and they are genuinely nice.
The views are simply overwhelming.
Breakfast is fantastic.
BEAUTIFUL view, very modern, large sized for hotel room, mini refrigerator and clean. There is parking but it is very limited. Great location on the beach with AMAZING sunsets.
the place is super: the hotel is located in the first row at the ocean and Ponta do Sol is a quiet and peaceful little town, definetely worth to come back.
