Enjoy Madeira's unspoiled countryside from a perfect base

Villa Verde is one of three villas situated at Quintinha au Sol, which has featured in TV's 'My Place in the Sun'. They are newly built and privately owned. Quintinha au Sol is a small rural property located in Gaula which is about 300 metres directly above Santa Cruz and less than 10 minutes from the airport. There are spectacular views over the bay of Abra, towards the Deserta Islands and to Ponto Sao Lorenço, the eastern tip of Madeira. At the same time Gaula is only twenty minutes from the centre of Funchal.

The villa is ideally situated for walkers and golfers - the Gaula levada, which is at the eastern end of the 'Levada dos Tornos', is less than 5 kilometres away and the two internationally famous golf courses, Palheiro and Santa da Serra, are both less than15 minutes by car.

With large balconies, terraced areas and mature gardens surrounding the villa, there is ample choice of seating and relaxing areas.............ideal for al fresco dreaming, drinking and dining!

Villa Verde is licensed for tourism under the strictly-regulated Madeiran 'Alojemente Locale' scheme (AL). The scheme requires holiday villas to conform to high safety, quality, service and insurance standards. For example, in the interests of safety, the villas only have electric equipment; there are no gas appliances. Mosquito nets are fitted to all bedroom windows. There is a WiFi internet connection and Satellite TV with 200+ channels

Amazing location
The villa was clean , spacious and everything available for in home cooking . We loved the pool- good size . It also had a great view of the ocean and the airport in the distance . The hanging chair was the winner for relaxation and just letting the sun kiss your face . Very quiet area . Birds singing . The owners were easily accessible and informative . They have a wonderful housekeeper who speaks great English . We found it to be a good location from which to explore Madeira ! We had a wonderful stay .

Not for the faint-hearted.
Although a bright and pleasant house, it is showing signs of a lack of maintenance, with numerous marks on the walls, several lights that don't work (along with the clock and the safe), doors which constantly rattle with air movement, handrails with peeling paint that comes off on your hands and clothing, and a front door lock which doesn't latch. The location is good, with great sea views, and even though the airport is so close you can see down onto the runway, the noise is not excessive. We stayed for 3 weeks, but the pool was only cleaned once, towels and bedding only changed once, and the villa wasn't cleaned at all. Not that we're dirty people, it just could have benifitted from a sweep or hoover, and the bathrooms being cleaned. Don't come to Madeira at all if you're a nervous driver, because the roads are all very narrow (single track) and incredibly steep, and the villa driveway is also both of these, with a very tight turning point by the house. We had a comparatively small car (Citroën C3) and I'm a confident driver, but I wouldn't want to try and turn anything bigger between the spikey-concrete walls 😉 The hosts, Peter and Fiona, were very cheerful and pleasant people, and were very accommodating with regards to check in and out timings.

Madeira Gaula - Villa Verde
Great location but make sure you hire a car as the villa is semi rural. The views from the balcony are fantastic and the property is easily big enough for 6 people. Only real niggles include the poor wifi coverage and the outdoor areas really need a deep clean. Otherwise great value for money.

Comfortable house, so nearly all right
Once you have found the property (Peter and Fiona were very helpful in that regard and we had no issues), it is well situated for visiting this island, comfortable and very peaceful. As a large property, we would have appreciated a little more in the kitchen, like a full set of wine glasses, and unfortunately the wifi is very slow and only works immediately outside and in a few areas on the edge of the house. Our attempts to get this resolved were largely ignored.

A wonderful family holiday
The property was great. When we arrived we were greeted by the owners, and the necessities. It is in a lovely location, if a little difficult to find (the sat nav did work) on some quite narrow roads, the sea views never got old. We found it a great base to explore the island, with some beautiful smaller towns near by with some lovely restaurants. The villa it self was definitely big enough for the 5 of us, with ample space, good areas outside to eat. The pool was great. The beds were very firm though, which became uncomfortable over the 11 days. If you are planning on having a car for the whole stay I would highly recommend this villa, we had a great holiday, and will definitely be going to Madeira again

very nice place
Nice house, clean and well-appointed. Could not use the pool because full of bird poop and feathers (cleaned maybe once a week and filter not effective).
