    Andre is a very nice guy, he will provide you with solid tips and is there to make your stay trouble free. You are here to relax, as he rightly put it. The appartment is very nice, and was cleaned multiple times during our stay. The views from the appartment are simply stunning. We enjoyed our stay very much! Underneath the swimming pool there's another floor with a BBQ and terrace which we didn't even know about. We will be returning soon!

    The villa is a great place! Great view from the patio, sun sets are so beautiful! André is a great host, he picked us up from the airport and dropped us off again, even at 7 AM. A nice car was included in the rental. The appartment was cleaned every 2 days, it had everything needed. The place is 10 minutes from Funchal and everything else is easy to reach! Thank again to André for a great 9 day vacation!

    Nothing comes to mind

    We had a wonderful holiday at the amazing Villa Isabela last week. Very attentive and helpful hosts, with plenty of local recommendations and tips, beautifully decorated spacious rooms and the most spectacular view from the terrace. The villa is spotlessly clean, kitchen has more equipment than my own house:) including pretty Villeroy Bosch cups and dishes. 5G wifi. Convenient location (12 min from the airport, 15 or so from Funchal centre) and car included for our use made our trips around the lovely Madeira very easy. We would definitely return to Villa Isabela.

    We liked everything about the property 😊It was very clean, plenty of clean towels, very comfortable bed, very quiet area. Lovely pool area.Stunning location and having the use of a car was definitely a bonus. The Villa is within walking distance to shops and good restaurants . Maybe a small microwave would be useful to eat in on occasion?

    There was a lot of mosquitos in the evening. This is not the problem of the property, just FYI.

    The apartment was small but fully sufficient. It had everything you need for a stay. It was very quiet and within the walking distance there was everything (restaurants, pharmacy, supermarkets…). The car provided was very handy - we had no problem to reach all parts of the island. Andre was helpful and very friendly.

    Anti-mosquito could be an improvement, as well as giving body soap and shampoo. You will give a deposit for the car, but remember to take appointment with owner before check out and take it back or you risk to waste long time.

    Location and pool are very nice. Room was clean and comfortable. Comfortable to have car and room together!

    Not a negative, just something you don't see on photos - main bedroom is connected to the rest of the apartment (huge family space) so was taking zoom calls on (a very comfortable) balcony in the morning. Again, whole thing was tip top. M

    Close to the airport, fairly away from crowds, few good restaurants around. While we had few micro hiccups at the arrival (well, life ...), Andre (owner) reacted immediately and took care of things. Standing firm at my 10 rating.

    Nothing to dislike.

    The property is built on 4 levels set into the hillside similar to probably 90% of all residential buildings on Madeira. The roof line is set at street level with apartments at levels 4,3 and 2 down from there. Floor 1 at the bottom contains the swimming pool and loungers. I can only account for the apartment on level 2. They may all be different formats. This apartment has 1 very large double bed in the massive main room and 1 quite small single bed in a separate room. It's very well equipped throughout and although I wasn't expecting it a lady cleaned the apartment a couple of times on the week we were there. Outside is a full length private balcony with plenty of space and the best sea view you're likely to find. Sun from rising to setting. All 3 apartments have totally separate front doors. The area is hilly but not unlike everywhere else on the island. Up from the apartment is a street with plenty of bars restaurants and shops, enough for an average length stay. Easy bus access into Funchal if you want to leave the car behind (recommended). Down from the apartment is the coastline and again an easy but hilly walk. Up or down doesn't need the car. In fact you'll probably have more trouble parking than walking. The included car is great just like a standard car hire agreement but no forms and insurance hassle. Just leave a €200 refundable cash deposit. Check the car over and leave the petrol level as you found it. It's outside already and you leave it there at end. Parking no problem. Communication was excellent before during and departure. Paid half up front by bank transfer and the remainder by bank transfer on arrival. Just provide arrival times at the airport and you get a lift from and back to the airport. Overall excellent throughout. Thoroughly recommend. Not forgetting the friendly residential white cat that somehow gets fed.

    Everything was perfect except for some insects outside, though they didn't bother me. On the last day hot water ended more quickly.

    Fascinating view! Andrea is wonderful host, he made a gift for me and changed my room for the bigger one. I had a lot of space, a car I used whenever I wanted and a local white cat, which sometimes came in to purr my worries away :) There was a swimming pool which I was too lazy to use. Villa is not far from the beach and 10-20 min of walk from the shop and supermarket. Love it and plan to come back!
