Absolutely terrific vacation. The house is charming. The pool
area is lovely, and very private. Amazing view. The location is
perfect. All arrangements made prior to coming, including car
rental and a crib for our youngest child, were effortless, and
worked out perfectly. Excellent communication before arrival, and
during the stay with Bruno. Bruno also arranged for a cleaning
after our first of two weeks, which was appreciated. The road down
to the house is not for the faint of heart. It is steep, narrow,
and essentially clings to the edge of a cliff. Whenever we
encountered a car coming down the road (down-going cars have the
right of way), we were confronted with the absolutely frightful
challenge of backing down, which we never really got completely
comfortable with. But we survived! Thank you for a terrific
experience!.

Man fühlt sich in diesem Haus gleich total wohl . Es war unser
zweiter Aufenthalt dort. Ich werde das Meeresrauschen sehr
vermissen . Der Ausblick ist wunderschön und du kannst stundenlang
aufs Meer schauen. Auch unseren Kindern hat es gut gefallen sie
haben den Pool ausgiebig genutzt. Es war ein gelungener Urlaub und
vielleicht kommen wir nächstes Jahr wieder.

Wir hatten eine schöne Woche in der Villa do Mar
II. Das Haus liegt wirklich sehr schön. Umweltgeräusche, Autos,
Bauarbeiten, andere Menschen etc. hört man hier nicht. Nur
Meeresrauschen, aber das ordentlich laut :o) Uns hat auch der
Zugang zum Meer gefallen, baden konnten wir leider nicht , Meer war
zu lebhaft. Aber dort zu sitzen und den Wellen zuschauen ist prima.
Der Pool mit der Gartenanlage ist sehr schön. Die Begrüßung mit
großem Obstteller war auch sehr nett. Was auch gut war, dass es
eine Filterkaffeemaschine und eine Kapselmaschine (Delta Kapseln,
gibt es im Supermarkt) gab. Da konnte man auch mal nur schnell eine
Tasse Kaffee oder Espresso machen. Aber die Zufahrt zum Haus, die
hat es in sich. Nur sehr sichere, umsichtige Fahrer sollte diese
fahren. Es ist eine einspurige, sehr enge Straße, heißt, wenn
jemand entgegen kommt, muß eine/r rückwärts zurück. Geht alles,
aber man sollte darauf eingestellt sein.

Madeira is a magical island. And this is a very special villa.
You feel very private and tucked away and you are right on the edge
of the cliff so have amazing views of the ocean. The facilities
were great too. We particularly loved the pool and the big beds.
The driveway down is not for the faint hearted, you need to be a
very confident driver to do it.

Our second time at Villa Do Mar 2 and it was again amazing.
What a beautiful place. The ocean view, the pool, the garden, the
sound of the waves. If you want to truly relax and connect to the
ocean and nature, come here. Also, Bruno is very responsive. Would
love to come back. What a beautiful island and house.

We had a beautiful stay here! An incredible location and
stunning views. The house is very clean, bright, and beautiful.
While there is not much within walking distance, we enjoyed using
the bbq and often cooking our own dinners overlooking the sea. A
really special spot.

The views, pool and garden were stunning! The house was very
clean and Bruno and the team were wonderful and always helpful. We
did unfortunately badly damage our car on the narrow tricky road to
the house when the wheel slipped into a ditch and got stuck. Bruno,
Ruben and the host were extremely generous and kind with their
efforts and help and managed to push the car back on to the road.
The sound of the waves (which is lovely in itself) is ever present
so light sleepers may choose to sleep in the better insulated top
bedrooms. The 2 main bedrooms are above each other and share an
open plan staircase, but the lower bedroom has its own door. The
third bedroom is best suited for children. Thank you for your
hospitality and help!

Die Lage des Hauses direkt am Meer ist fantastisch. Dank der
schönen Einrichtung, der hochwertigen Ausstattung und der
fröhlichen und lichtdurchfluteten Architektur fühlt man sich sofort
wohl. Es passt einfach alles. Auch der Poolbereich und der kleine,
aber sehr schöne und gepflegte tropische Garten ist ideal um sich
nach einer Wanderung zu entspannen. Hervorzuheben ist auch die
sonnige und geschützte Lage des Hauses. Während es in den Bergen
und an anderen Orten der Insel wolkig war oder geregnet hat,
konnten wir die Sonne am Pool genießen. Wir können dieses Haus
uneingeschränkt empfehlen und würden es auf jeden Fall wieder
mieten

A super beautiful villa, like a sea eagle's nest, 30
meters above the calm to the raging Atlantic. Very close to nature.
The ocean view is unbelievably beautiful. A very tasteful house
with lots of extras and style. The driveway to the house is
extremely steep, but you get used to it after a few days. We will
come again.

The Villa surpassed our expectation without a doubt. A
warm and helpful welcome, some fruits and basic foods and drinks.
The location is breathtaking, we spend all evenings in the Villa
because everything would have been a waste. We highly recommend the
location and will defenitly be back.

Probably our best vacation rental ever. Pictures are
probably a bit old: it's better now! the garden plants have grown
up and it really enhances the property's charm. Special
congratulations to the gardener: all looks neat and very well
maintained like in a palace hotel, not one leave on the ground,
great variety of plants to bring flowers at every time of the year:
fantastic. The pool is quite large (10m) and really enjoyable with
views on the garden, the cliffs and the see. The house is large, 3
independent bedroom with decent comfortable mattress. Very large
living room (note: should improve the atmosphere with warmer light
bulbs). Kitchen is much better equipped than any rentals we got in
the past. As a cherry on the cake, there is a beach house down the
cliff (shared with 3 other properties), which is absolutely
fabulous: we got down there for drinks at sunset it was marvelous.
Now the only downside: the access road is very narrow and stiff
with only two places where you can cross another car. Must admit we
only crossed one car in 8 days though! Need to be a confident
driver and prefer a smaller car, possibly automatic gear box
(start/stop in stiff road, but this is also true on many small
roads in Madeira).

A wonderful holiday in a beautiful house where you will
feel like in paradise. You can listen to the waves and relax or
wander around beautiful Madeira. In any case you will not make a
mistake and you will definitely want to come back!

Emplacement parfait vue magnifique sur l’océan
Nous avons passé une semaine dans la villa do mar 2 . La vue est
époustouflante sur l'océan. L'accueil de Bruno a été chaleureux. La
maison était très propre ainsi que la piscine. À part l'accès à la
villa qui est très escarpé comme tout Madère nous avons passé un
très bon séjour.

The views at this home simply can't be beat. You're right
on the waterfront and can enjoy the sound of the waves. The little
cabin down on the beach is also a nice bonus. Internet works fast
and there is a router in each room (great if you have to work while
enjoying the island!). The hosts are great and the farmers in the
area are very friendly. Super quiet, peaceful, and a great place to
just unwind and enjoy the stunning scenery. Highly recommend and
we'll be back!

Eine spektakuläre Lage und ein Haus in dem wir uns sehr
wohlgefühlt haben - der beheizte Pool war die minimalen Mehrkosten
wert !! Sehr nette Hausübergabe - da zu unserer Ankunftszeit die
Läden schon geschlossen waren wurde eine von uns erstellte
Einkaufsliste besorgt. Die steile Zufahrt ist unvergesslich... aber
nach ein paar Tagen gewöhnt man sich auch daran ;-)

So good we booked it again for next year
We booked this last minute because of COVID and Madeira
was one of a few places that we could go without quarantining on
arrival back in the UK. The photos on the HomeAway and Our Madeira
websites looked fantastic. As usual, the photos don't tell the
whole storey but unusually this time it was the photos that didn't
match the actuality. The place is stunning- there is no other way
of putting it. We have been renting houses and villas for about 10
years and this was, without doubt, the nicest place we have stayed
in. There are no houses overlooking it and you don't see any other
houses from the villa or the grounds. The villa itself is set up
about 100 feet on a cliff above a pebbly beach and the only sound
is the sound of the waves breaking- no traffic and noisy
neighbours. The place has been very well thought out with lots of
really nice touches and was very comfortable for three. Four would
be fine but six might be a touch tight. In the main part of the
house, two sides are glass patio windows opening onto the sea view
and the garden /pool area. The place was spotless and the beds
comfortable. The whole house is airconditioned if needed. Somebody
came around every day or two to clean the pool and because we
stayed more than a week, the house was cleaned during our stay. The
only potential issue is the very steep and narrow road down to the
house. This was certainly "exciting" the first couple of times we
drove it but we were certainly much happier (if not exactly blase)
after a few days. The road is well lit in the evening so returning
after dark was not a problem. We had a BMW 3 series and I would not
want anything larger than this. Having an automatic made quite a
difference and I would recommend getting that rather than a manual.
We've been back three days and I just booked it again for next year
- hence solving the quandary of wanting to leave a good review but
not wanting to tell everybody about it :). The booking was very
straightforward. I intend to leave this review on TripAdvisor,
HomeAway and Google so if you see it in multiple places you will
know it was me doing it.

beautiful spot, and the beach is almost private, we have
seen only a couple of people during our stay. The little extra
house at the beach is fun, and excellent for a drink and bbq at
sunset. If you are lookig for a week to relax and calm down this is
an excellent place.

Beautiful quiet location, well equipped.
This is a lovely villa with a great view over the sea. Very
well equipped and a lovely garden. We were invited out for a meal
at the owners restaurant the second night, which was very good.
There is a lovely beach house but you need to plan for a day down
there as there are around 150 steps down to it. The beach is stony
so plastic shoes are a good idea.The owners agent was as helpful as
we could have hoped for. Especially for someone who usually drives
on the left, the road is quite difficult, steep with sharp
bends.

Traumvilla in spektakulärer Lage
Wir haben im Juni eine wunderschöne Woche in der Villa do Mar II verbracht. Es war alles perfekt: die wundervolle Aussicht aufs Meer, das beruhigende Rauschen der Wellen, die Ausstattung der Villa. Das Schlafzimmer hat ein Bullauge aufs Meer, sodass man sich wie auf einem Schiff vorkommt, zusätzlich noch ein Dachfenster zum Sternegucken! Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Das Wohnzimmer mit Küche und Essplatz ist modern eingerichtet, besonders haben uns die fröhlichen Farben gefallen. Der Außenbereich ist mit schönen Möbeln ausgestattet, der Pool ist ein Traum und die Bepflanzung sehr tropisch. Senhor Acacio hat uns sehr freundlich und gut betreut. Es lief alles völlig problemlos ab. Vielen Dank an den Besitzer für die Einladung in sein Restaurant Vila do Peixe. Wir haben das gute Essen in nettem Ambiente sehr genossen. Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal!

Superbes vacances
Nous tenons à remercier l'agence locale Our Madeira pour les conseils ainsi que le propriétaire et M. Acacio sur place qui nous ont réservé un acceuil formidable pour ces vacances superbes. La maison Villa do Mar II est en tout point identique au descriptif, avec en prime des conseils et des prix sur les visites. Un accompagnement en or tout en restant discrets. Chapeau ! Attention tout de même à l'accés final jusqu'à la maison qui est un peu périlleux en voitures ! Mais il est toujours possible de laisser sa voiture en haut et puis, c'est un peu le cas de toute l'île !! Le coin de Calheta est le plus ensoleillé de l'île et les couchers de soleil garantis chaque soir. Les commerces sont à 10min en voiture et les plus éloignés des sites de visite à moins d'une heure. Pour la saison, cette fin d'avril était douce mais c'est le tout début de la floraison. Privilégier peut-être juin pour profiter de toutes les couleurs. Prévoir de bonnes chaussures, ne pas avoir le vertige pour les randonnées (ne pas les prendre à la légère même sans dénivelé !), ne pas oublier le coupe vent pour les hauteurs souvent chargées. C'est une île magnifique où il y a toujours quelque chose à voir et la Villa Do Mar II est idéale pour cela avec sa piscine pour le soir !! A refaire.

Well equipped property with a stunning view
My wife and I spent 10 days at this property with our 3 children and everybody loved it. The house is very comfortable, well equipped and offers direct access to a private beach. The swimming pool was large enough for us all and we certainly made the most of it. If you are after a quiet property with beautiful views out to the sea then this could be the one for you :)

Vila do mar is a extremly lovely place!
We have already been several times to Madeira, this time we
could afford a little "more" for the place to sleep, eat and "live"
- so Vila do mar was the very right choice. It is situated that
spectacular, you nearly can't imagine even if you look at the
pictures. However the house is renovated and decorated with so much
care and the special look for lovely details - each corner has
something special. The same about the garden and the surrounding!
Palms and plants are now grown up - and the roses were flowering
even in December. Special thanks to the owner for having created
such a beautiful place!

What a lovely surprise!
What a fantastic stunning villa! Madeira was a lovely surprise too. We never expected it to be so diverse and pretty. Loved exploring the island - down by the sea and way, way up in the mountains above the clouds. We loved the terraced terrain, so interesting and stunning flowers all around. The villa has the most amazing views of the sea (it's almost ON the sea) and to hear the crashing waves constantly is a unique bonus. The sunsets were the best we've ever seen. The villa itself is so pretty and has everything you'd need for a relaxing holiday - apart from the road down which is terrifying and daunting (and we are not easily scared - one star has been taken off for it!). I'd have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Our Madeira who were always helpful and quick with their responses. Mr Rodriquez was always on the end of the phone even when we had queries non-villa related (our telescope tripod broke so he advised us where to go to get a replacement). Our complimentary dinner at Vila do Peixe in Camara de Lobos was really delicious - and very kind of the owner. We were very lucky to have had fantastic weather for our two week holiday and found Madeira interesting in every way and recommend that everyone should visit at least once in a lifetime!

Perfekter Urlaub
Die Villa überzeugt sowohl von der Architektur, Lage als auch
Einrichtung und entspricht den gezeigten Bildern. Wir haben die 14
Tage sehr genossen. Der Blick direkt auf den Atlantik ist
unbeschreiblich. Einzig die letzten 200m Anfahrt sind etwas
abenteuerlich, da eine steile Stichstraße zum Haus führt. Aber
daran gewöhnt man sich recht schnell. Supermärkte finden Sie 5 bzw.
15 Minuten vom Haus entfernt. Gleichwohl es sehr viele gute
Restaurants auf Madeira gibt. Wir haben die Villa genutzt um ganz
Madeira zu erkunden und würden jederzeit die Villa wieder
mieten.

wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub
Herrlich gelegene Ferienvilla mit 3 Schlafzimmern inkl.
Bad-en-Suite. Gut ausgestattete Küche und schön möblierten Zimmern.
Liegen und Sonnenschirme am Pool vorhanden. Grundstück ist komplett
umzäunt und der Mietwagen kann auf dem Grundstück abgestellt
werden. Zur Villa gehört noch ein Strandhaus, dass über einen
separaten Treppenzugang mitgenutzt werden kann. Strand wie auf
Madeira üblich ist ein "Steinstrand". Zufahrt zur Villa etwas
abenteuerlich, aber auch daran gewöhnt man sich recht schnell.
Betreuung vor Ort durch Rodrigues (Mitarbeiter des Eigentümers)
sehr gut. Insgesamt ist dieses Ferienhaus absolut zu empfehlen und
wir haben unsere 2 Wochen Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Zumal die Villa
auch verkehrstechnisch recht gut liegt und man sehr schnell auf der
Autobahn ist bzw. auch die umliegenden Supermärkte in Calheta oder
Ribeiro Brava ansteuern kann.

Clean, well designed villa with spectacular views!
We have just returned from 12 days at the self-catering Villa do
Mar II and we loved it so much we did not want to leave! This is a
totally private villa nestled on the side of a cliff overlooking a
private beach with spectacular views of the unlimited expanse of
the Atlantic Ocean. The sea is almost within a stone's throw of the
property. Looking out of the windows in several of the rooms makes
it feel like you're on a cruise ship because all you can see is the
ocean! The swimming pool was perfect for pre-teen children - one
end deep enough for an adult to stand in, the other end very
shallow, and large enough to play and swim in. The weather in
Madeira in high season is so pleasantly warm and humid that the
pool was essential to cool off! The facilities of this recently new
property were very well designed and immaculately clean. The modern
well equipped kitchen was a joy to use (but keep it clean to avoid
ants), and it was also great fun to cook in the BBQ (effectively an
outdoor wood oven). It really helped having free wifi in the villa
also. Did I mention that you can see the sea from inside? - I have
never seen such an amazing view from a kitchen anywhere else! We
loved the way the villa has been thoughtfully, carefully and
colourfully decorated - even the colourful chimney above the
outdoor brick fire! It really is a bright and happy place. It was
great to have access to the private beach (shared with the other
local properties) literally directly below the villa, accessed via
a nearly vertical wooden staircase down to a series of stone steps.
This included use of the reasonably equipped beach house. This grey
pebble beach was great but the waves can be very strong so take
care when paddling as the waves can easily carry pebbles in them.
(There is a man-made sandy beach in nearby Calheta). The villa is
close to the resort of Calheta - great for dolphin watching trips,
restaurants, shopping and the Pingo Doce supermarket. This was our
first visit to the stunning island of Madeira, and we definitely
want to return and stay in this property again. The section of
track down to the villa from the road is certainly narrow and very
steep, but we quickly got used to it - tip: keep your car in 1st
gear all the way down as well as up it; a small car with less
powerful engine could stall in 1st gear up this hill unless you
keep the revs high enough.

Fabulous villa with stunning views
The villa excelled expectations in every way. The view was
stunning and the villa itself was perfect. The location is very
peaceful indeed and ensures a totally relaxing stay. A very slight
downside was the approach road which, if you are a nervous driver
may be a little daunting but I'm sure if you have a hire car and
are willing to drive abroad, it wouldn't pose a problem. The villa
isn't cheap but I guess you get what you pay for. The property
manager was really helpful and at the end of the phone if need be.
All in all a perfect place to escape but not too far from reality
to explore the rest of the beautiful island.

Unschlagbare Lage und Aussicht.
Villa do mar II ist unserer Meinung nach das schönste
Ferienhaus auf Madeira. Die Lage ist grandios direkt am Meer mit
privatem Strandhaus und Privatstrand die über eine Treppe zu
erreichen sind. Die Einrichtung ist sehr liebevoll ausgewählt. Der
Poolbereich ist eine Oase der Entspannung. Der Eigentümer und sein
Team sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Für uns gibt es nur eine
Adresse auf Madeira und das ist Villa do mar II.
