Sea View Villa Mar Lindo nr Ponta do Sol

I suspect it’s about as good as it gets for villas in Madeira. Very spacious, modern, comfortable and well equipped with amazing views and a fantastic heated pool. Very well equipped kitchen with bigger than usual fridge freezer. The location is also very quiet. We found it well located for visiting Madeiras amazing botanic gardens, mountain walks and scenery, the surprisingly gentile city of Funchal. A car is desirable.

Nothing.

Mar Lindo is a beautiful vacation home. Our family had such a great time both in the town of Ponta do Sol and especially the house. Staying over for Christmas was a good decision. The property is walking distance to the town below. The town had more than enough of what we needed for groceries and shops. Our hosts were wonderful! Not only did they provide clear instructions and recommendations for the town. They also ensure their property is fully-equipped, well maintained, clean, and a relaxing experience.

We wish we could stay longer.

Wunderschön, sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Sehr netter Gastgeber.

Eingangstor hat nicht immer funktioniert, Gastgeber hat aber sofort reagiert.

The villa is spacious, modern, and beautifully designed, with stunning views and one of the cleanest, most amazing pools we’ve ever experienced. It was incredibly relaxing to sit outside and enjoy breakfast each morning, and we made great use of the well-equipped kitchen and BBQ for other meals. We arrived quite late, and it was great to have the generous welcome basket waiting for us, a really thoughtful touch. The local area is gorgeous, and the town is within walking distance. The return walk is steep uphill, but manageable. The town itself is chilled and scenic, with loads of lovely restaurants and bars, we tried many and were never disappointed. Clive was very responsive and helpful when needed throughout our stay, dealing with everything promptly and professionally.

The place could do with a little more TLC in a few areas, just small maintenance jobs that a handyman could easily sort out. The lamppost by the pool is slightly distracting at night but manageable. Parking is tight, so a small car is recommended, which is generally useful across Madeira. Overall, these minor issues didn’t detract from a lovely, relaxing stay.
