Perched on a cliff facing the Atlantic Ocean, this design hotel is within a renovated traditional farmhouse.

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 .
Location, Ponta do Sole is really nice, small, formal very fancy town, which is a great place to visit and this small house is directly above it. What we like is, that it was just ca 550m far away from center, beach, shop and restaurants, however !!beware!! also +100 meters high, with stairs you don't need to go by the road and us takes it about 8 minutes. The hose have just 2 studios, our was small, clean and well equip with fantastic terrace (sometimes windy),m where you can drink wine and look for the sunset. .
right in front of the beach with cute little old town in the back, we enjoyed everyday beautiful sunset, restaurants around are with good quality. if the weather there is comfortable pool, sauna instead. also not too far away to do some impressive hiking tours in the neighborhood. Definitely not to forget to mention the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, we asked Veronica in the reception everyday some recommendations or questions she is always patient to help us.
Nice house, quite comfortable for family with 2 children. Great location - we loved staying on Ponta do Sol beach for a couple of hours a day. Generally you need a car, as the property is located high enough, though you can walk down to the beach, which takes 30 mins. Really helpful managers - Christian and Margaret. Great view from balcony. Barbecue facilities, though we didn’t use them, as there are plenty of restaurants in Ponta do Sol and Ribeira Brava.
A luxurious penthouse apartment situated in a cozy village of Ponta do Sol, 30 kms from Funchal, 20 minutes by car. Ideal place to stay for hiking and driving around Madeira island. A very spacious and fresh apartment with super hosts. The place was even better than announced, super clean, well equipped with everything you need even for a long term stay. Local services (grocery store, restaurants, cafes, small shopping center) satisfy everyday needs.
Exceptional stay in a wonderful house with excellent facilities. Particularly liked the BBQ and obviously the view. A car is highly recommended, because although the #4 bus goes past the house, we could not work out the route. Alternatively a taxi is €8 from Ponta do Sol. The Levada Nova is only a couple of minutes away by car, and the walk along the valley with views across to the better known levada walks is spectacular.
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.
Calm area, no turists, but car is a must.
Good local restaurant nearby as well as a grocery.. 5mins by walk..
Great view from appartment.
Dedicated parking space.
It is the best place to stay, if you want to explore the island.. it is max 1 hour to every corner of island and Ponta do Sol is the most sunny place on Madeira, so even on other parts of island was bad weather, here was mostly sunny.
Great, quiet location, just out of Ponta do Sol with great views. Sunset views from the infinity pool! The breakfast was amazing with a great selection including home made jam and cake. The host is very nice and we felt very welcome.
The 90 restaurant belongs to the hotel, but is also open to the public. You can easily book a table there. Food is great and the staff is fun.
The breakfast was always fresh and especially liked the Show cooking omelletes were always welcome!
The staff were very efficient when cleaning the tables for breakfast very keen.
The reception staff were very helpful, the room was huge and so comfortable balcony was well used,lovely view would stay again and recommend this hotel!
V comfortable room. Lovely outdoor pool. Fantastic restaurant- delicious food. Great breakfast. Transfers from airport a bonus and drop off to start of levada walk. Packed lunches for levada walks helpful along with loan of torches for levada walk ( one short tunnel). I would love to make a return visit to this hotel.
The patios were a vocal point for us to be able to look out over the hillside into the ocean from both patios after a long day of touring the island. I enjoyed being able to leave the bedroom window, which had a view of the ocean, open while out and about as there were no insects in April
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
The house itself, the property and restaurant are very nice. Dinner was amazing! Everything is new, the hotel is fresh and tidy! Also the Christmas tree decoration was very warming.
Room is just enough and the welcoming hand-written letter is something I really appreciate!
We had a wonderful stay and we felt right at home! We enjoyed the view and the location which made it easy to visit all parts of the island.
Our host made sure we had everything we needed and yet being very discreet, she is truly amazing!
We do not hesitate to recommend!
It’s beautiful. The restaurant, the rooms, the decorations, the garden, the pool, the food, everything is lovely. I think this was one of the best accomodations we’ve ever stayed at. The staff was also impecable, very helpful and professional. Great service during dinner.
Very comfortable, spacious, fully equipped, clean house with wonderful views over Ponta do Sol. Amazing hosts. Fruits and vegetables straight from the garden. Big terrace. Walking distance to the beach and town. The best place!!!
I really enjoyed staying at this hotel with the warm welcome and beautiful views. The architecture was unique and our room was cozy and comfy with a very nice bathroom.
Breathtaking views over beautiful Madeira island in a well decorated setting! The hotel has a spirit of coziness and art deco that feels super cute! we loved our stay!
