This house was perfect for the celebratory gathering of our family. The setting is gorgeous; there is plenty of space for everyone and it is well appointed with everything one could wish for, for a relaxing, fun and enjoyable stay.

Amazing Villa with incredible views!
Highly recommend this villa! Had a wonderful stay and the views are truly incredible. The villa is a short drive/taxi ride away from the town center, and centrally located to Madeira’s main tourist attractions. Zohra and Ricardo were fantastic hosts, very responsive and accommodating.

Perfect family or couples retreat/adventure!
This is a very special place with views and amenities that will take your breath away! We were all family of 8 (4 couples and it was perfect). Being able to eat most of our meals there inside or outside (December) was a treat because the kitchen was expertly stocked for a family of 8! Ricardo and Zhora were extremely hospitable and even let a private chef (which they recommended) into the house so a birthday meal was prepared for our arrival!

Spectacular house, magnificent views - everything is there for a perfect holiday. The owners - Zorah and her husband are also perfect hosts. Our tip: they offer to show you the way to the house. One should accept that. It's not that easy to find even with Google.

Delightful property with very helpful owners
We loved our stay in this property in February 2024. The villa had everything we needed and the owners were excellent at helping us settle in. The villa isn't easy to find and they drove us there so when we drove out, we knew how to get back. The villa had everything we needed, including an excellent kitchen, outdoor barbecue and pool. There is also a garden with lawn. There are many places to eat in nearby Ribeira Brava, as well as numerous places for food shopping. We would highly recommend the villa.

Perfect Stay
Our family stay in this great villa deserves five stars in every aspect. The accomodation itself is luxurious and extremely well equipped. The views are stunning and the location up in the hills is great. The pictures are realistic. The check-in process with Ricardo was the best ever. He even gave us a quick tour through Ribera Brava and recommended some restaurants. We tried out two of them and very muched liked both of them. Thank you so much for your great hospitality, Ricardo, and a terrific stay on Madeira. We will be back :-)

Paradise
We had the privilege of staying at Ricardo’s beautiful home! As a host, he was amazing and even took the time to drive with us to show us the easiest way to go up and down the mountain, showed us where the closest grocery store is, and the easiest way to get to the villa. The house itself is in excellent condition, very tidy and well maintained. Its easy to see how much Ricardo loves his home and the island! We definitely look forward to coming back in the future!

Fabulous Family Holiday
We booked this trip to celebrate my Mothers 90th birthday. The owners were at the villa to welcome us, and I had asked if they could organise a cake, flowers, banner and sparkling wine. They had gone above and beyond and they made us feel more like extended family. The villa is lovely, the views are amazing, there was a welcome pack of traditional biscuits, chocolates, coffee pods and wine. The villa is equipped with everything you need. The beds are all comfortable. We hope we can return again.

The property description advertised only covers a very small portion of the actual offerings! I have never stayed at a property that offered so much variety, quality of high end furnishing, awesome locations and an outstanding host!! You can’t go wrong about anything at this property!

Amazing place and host!!!
This is a beautiful home and extremely friendly and welcoming host. The home was perfectly clean tidy. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the amazing kitchen and the awesome pool and of course the incredible views. We rented the hosts vehicle as well and they met my brother at the airport to escort him back to house and then gave him a mini-tour of Riberia Brava to help him get his bearings. They also met him at the airport to return the car. Hosts were extremely helpful with a welcome packet they sent weeks in advance of our stay that included anything we could possibly need regarding the house. Will highly recommend to anyone heading to Madeira.

Wonderful stay in a wonderful villa
This villa was everything we had hoped for on our visit to Madiera. The hosts communicated well with us right from the beginning. The home guide they sent before our trip contained a detailed explanation of how to drive to the villa, descriptions of all rooms including 3D floor plans, and helpful information about the amenities- including photos of the contents of kitchen drawers. All that was so helpful in planning our visit and removing unnecessary worry. The property is gorgeous and well-maintained. No one can warn you enough about the driving on Madeira, but the villa’s location in Ribeira Brava is centrally located to all major activities on the island. We highly recommend this place - you, too, will love it.

Absolutely Amazing!!!
Everything about our stay at Villa Cabouco was absolutely amazing, do not hesitate to stay here! The lovely Zohra and Ricardo met us at the airport and showed us the way to the villa and believe me, the photos do not do it justice. Clean, modern with every amenity you could wish for...plus a million dollar view to top it off. The icing on the cake was when Chef Duarte came to the villa and cooked a fabulous meal for us....make sure to ask Zohra for his details!!!! Loved, loved, loved our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone!! ❤

Thoroughly deserves the five star rating
Booked based on the reviews and pictures. All were spot on and the views are stunning. Very well equipped, spotless and roomy for our party of five. The surly teenagers loved the pool, and the churassco was fab. The hosts are lovely people, there if you need them, excellent communicators. Location is lovely. Half an hour walk (uphill) to a bar, a lot quicker on the way back. Yes the main road is twisty and narrow and the one to the accommodation even narrower but very well maintained and easy to drive around. 30-40 minutes’ drive from the airport and half an hour to most other places. Decent supermarket (Continente) ten minutes’ drive. Recommend you have a car. Overall, good value, great location and a superlative property with super hosts.

The perfect holidays
We spent a wonderful week in this marvellous villa which is exactly as beautiful as it was advertised. The view is outstanding as well as the garden and the infrastructure in and around the villa. Though it was the end of november the pool was about 22°. Shops, restaurants, a filling station and some great miradouros can be reached by car within 5 minutes. Last but not least the best: Ricardo and Zohra are the most wonderful hosts you can imagine, the are so nice and caring, explaining patiently the devices in and around the villa and Ricardo even took us on a short trip around Ribeira Brava to show us where the shopping centers, best bars, restaurants etc. are. If a question arose they answered within very short time by WhatsApp. I hope we will be back soon in this great house on this great island.

A little piece of heaven on earth
Wonderful Villa with lovely sunsets, stunning views of the ocean, the surrounding mountains and very well manicured beautiful garden with gorgeous and great smelling climbing jasmine. The house is perfect. Excellent location on the island, very close to the lovely town of Ribeira Brava, with easy access to anywhere you may want to visit on the island. Roomy, bright with great views, very clean with all the amenities you could think of. The pool was great, heated and very clean. Hosts are very accommodating and extremely informative, with a great sense of humour. Truly a pleasure to deal with. It was an absolute delight to have spent the time at Villa Cabouco and would certainly go back next time we visit this beautiful island. Recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Thank you for everything Zohra & Ricardo!

Fantastic place
We were three couples adventuring together. The apartment is impeccable - the views alone are worth every penny - fantastic sunsets every night, cool breezes, a stocked kitchen. You DO need to buy or bring soap for the showers, and depending on length of stay, a few other paper products. The only pro tip is to understand the cars you are renting - they are not inexpensive, and ours were not worth the money - one was a quite old (roll up windows) Clio manual that had zero power which made going up and down the very hilly island quite challenging. Ricardo said they are getting newer cars so this may be moot. But this did not remotely affect our enjoyment and appreciation for the place!
