Everything was perfect. The place was so peaceful, situated in between banana plantations. The sunset views are so beautiful. Rooms have exactly the perfect size. The breakfast was probably one of the best we ever had in any hotel around the world. So well done, everyday there would be a special and the ingredients are mostly locally sourced. Highly recommend this hotel.

Ponta do Sol Beach is 1 km from The Tree of Life House, while Lugar de Baixo Beach is 2.2 km from the property. The nearest airport is Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport, 42 km from the accommodation.

Location and privacy - a true gem! Very helpful host. Nice scenery. Pool is not heated. Pool is perfect to cool down in the hot weather. The sun is extremely hot. Especially for April. We travelled and ticked every box in Madeira. I suggest staying here as a base. Nice restaurants near by. Lovely beach and scenery close by also. Having a private parking space helped. Have in mind that the location will need a strong car engine to get up and down.

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Blue Ocean Villa is set in Ponta do Sol. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The villa also offers a saltwater pool and a garden for guests to relax in.

Lugar de Baixo Beach is 2.1 km from the villa, while Ponta do Sol Beach is 2.3 km away. The nearest airport is Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport, 42 km from Blue Ocean Villa.

Blue Ocean Villa is a brand-new home built into the side of the hill in Ponta da Sol. The view was amazing and the villa was spotless. The TV and Wifi worked great and the kitchen was somewhat stocked - we had to ask for salt/pepper and dishwasher/Laundry detergent but that won't be a problem for the next person and the host was very responsive and brought all sorts of stuff. It is comfortable for 4 people - we were a family of 4 with two teen boys. We had plenty of towels and dishes. The location was pretty good - there are a few little snack bars right next door (we didn't try them though) and we got most of our groceries at a gas station just a 5 minute drive down the hill. A car is definitely necessary here but you are in walking distance to a beautiful local church, great views, and two amazing levada hikes - Levada do Moinho and the one above, Levada da Novo (very dangerous and NOT for little kids though). There is a full BBQ and awesome seating outside though we didn't try the BBQ. Overall it was a great stay.

    Location, Ponta do Sole is really nice, small, formal very fancy town, which is a great place to visit and this small house is directly above it. What we like is, that it was just ca 550m far away from center, beach, shop and restaurants, however !!beware!! also +100 meters high, with stairs you don't need to go by the road and us takes it about 8 minutes. The hose have just 2 studios, our was small, clean and well equip with fantastic terrace (sometimes windy),m where you can drink wine and look for the sunset. .

    Location is amazing! Right at the beach, where you can admire beautiful sunset. Rooms are big and bathroom is decently clean. Breakfast has a good variety of choice, coffee is not drinkable (you can order better one from the bar, but costs extra)

    Dorete was absolutely lovely from the moment of our arrival! The villa was fully equipped with everything we could need during our stay. We were provided with several towels, beach towels, toilet rolls, a wonderful bottle of wine & some cake! It’s way more spacious than I had thought from the pictures so that’s definitely a bonus too! We could see the sunset from the (two!) terraces. We will definitely be booking this lovely villa the next time we visit Madeira. obrigado!

    Perfect location on top of a cliff over looking the ocean. Amazing breakfast! Staff couldn't do enough for you. Had 2 massages whilst there, which were sensational. Cleanliness of the entire hotel was on point. Fresh towels daily, including beach/pool towels which was great.

    Amazing location near beach, balcony with ocean view. Communication with owner was easy, we felt very welcome and it was great to hear some local tips, not only for delicious poncha :) spacious, very tidy and well-equipped interior. Great location for day trips around the island. A wide parking space in the garage with easy parking. Two bathrooms for 4 people was a luxury.

    The hotel is probably the best option you can get in Ponta do Sol. It might not be the most fancy, but it is of very high quality and no other hotel can compete in terms of location, right on the beach in the centre of the town, you can walk directly from your room to the sea. The room we stayed was big and had a wonderful view on the beach. There is a private parking which is really convenient as parking options in Ponta do Sol are limited.
