We visited Madeira last week for levada walking. We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa at Palheiro Village. It was beautiful. We had incredible views, the villa had a great kitchen, the beds were comfortable and Vera, the sales manager, made the whol booking process very easy. (She is awesome). We asked for wi-fi and it was there and working,... More

We stayed in a 2 bed seaview apartment ( we had planned a 1 bed garden view but due to a late discount this was cheaper - sometimes it pays to be disorganised). The staff were fantastic really helpful with planning walks. We also hit it lucky with the fact the cover on the swimming pool was broken which really... More

Driving from the airport of Funchal to Palheiro Village during the night, we did not expect much - the surrounding area is not entirely pleasant to get lost in. However, the village exceeded all expectations of cleanliness, comfort, facilities and views. The large villa had a pleasant garden and each room was well kept. The pool and surrounding area was...

We (grandma, mother, a 5-year old and baby of 6 months) travelled to Madeira for a week in February and the weather was great! One day with some rain, that's it! Perfect! The villa (35, Gometa) is very nice, clean (in total i was able to find one little piece of spiderweb), spacious, great views of the ocean (all of... More

THe rental that we had was very spacious and well furnitured and the staff... More

We stayed for two weeks in a really good quality two bedroom apartment. All properties overlook the sea & face south, so get the sun all day. The apartments are really well finished & have a large kitchen (for those so inclined!). It is not a large scheme & there are not really any facilities for children other than the... More

My wife and I have just returned from a 2 week stay at Palheiro Village. Set high in the hills the views over Funchal are stunning. Nicely furnished apartments (and villas) with well fitted kitchens and private terrace. Just a short drive from a couple of good supermarkets but you do need a car. The staff here are delightful, nothing... More

This was our second visit to Palheiro Village. It is a truly fabulous place & we will be returning again next year. Our apartment (17 ) although close to the road disturbed us little & had a fantastic view of the harbour & Madeira. The only exception was on a days holiday for the island when before 7am some very... More

We stayed in one of the villas for ten days in Oct 2012 and loved every minute. So much so that we are already planning a return trip next year. The villa was fantastic-very well-equipped and comfortable, and with a simply breathtaking view of Funchal harbour. It's such a lovely setting that we had to force ourselves to actually leave... More
