Tabua Village Madeira

Beautifully atmospheric

Pros: Tabua village is a magical place on a banana plantation. Each room has its dedicated outdoor sitting area and it is absolutely gorgeous. The room itself was basic but clean and had everything you need. Best of all were the owners who brought us a little gift everyday as well as at the end of the stay.

Cons: Parking is a little difficult. You can drive in ok but there is no space to turn so you have to reverse up a steep slope back to the (thankfully) quiet road when leaving.

A peaceful getaway with wonderful hosts

Pros: We absolutely loved our stay here! Everything was perfect — the room, kitchen, and bathroom were super clean, and had everything we needed (and more!). You can really tell that the hosts have put a lot of thought and care into every little detail. The place has such a lovely, peaceful vibe — the common spaces are beautifully designed, surrounded by banana fields, with a cozy garden full of charm. There’s even a little viewpoint behind the house where you can watch the most incredible sunsets — it was honestly magical. The hosts were amazing — so kind, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. They even surprised us with fresh fruits from their garden, which was such a sweet touch! We felt completely at home from the moment we arrived. We had the best time and can’t recommend this place enough. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

Cons: The beds were a bit too soft for our taste, but honestly, that’s the only tiny thing — everything else was absolutely perfect!

Terrific great stay 👍

Pros: Very comfortable piece full very clean I do recommend lovely people 👍

Pros: we had wonderful time here! everything was perfect :) there were 2 grills which we enjoyed very much. owners were super kind and if we will come back to madeira someday, definitely will stay here again. thank you for everything and your kindness.

Pros: The owners are super friendly and helpful - we arrived very late (after midnight, because our plane got delayed and they waited for us with the check-in. They even prepared us a welcome fruit-bowl and at the end gave us some gifts. They were helpful with every question we had. There are 3 parking places and 4 rooms so sometimes the 4th car has to park under the teracce. The parking is a bit tricky but with a little experience it is okay. The garden issupet equipped with benches, swimming pools, woodrn tables to eat breakfast, barbecue places...it's surrounded by a banana plantation. The room is also well-equipped: the bed is comfortable, there's a little table to eat something, a stovepot, a fridge, a bedside table, wardrobe, small shelf and a private bathroom. We only stayed there 5 nights but they changed our towels once as the humidity is high so it couldn't dry so fast. We even got a de-humidifier. Very lovely place!

Cons: Only tricky thing is parking: the entry is steep but it is still a big advantage that they offer a private parking place.

Pros: It's a lovely rustic place in nature. Nice outside areas with loads of beautiful plants. The owners are lovely they gave us a fruit salad on arrival, a cheese toastie one morning and a gift when we left. They are there if you need anything but not overbearing either. The bed was very comfy. The room had everything you need fridge, hob, coffee maker etc. Its quiet although we were the only people staying there but we slept really well. Thank you so much for making us welcome.

Cons: Only criticism is bathroom is very small and TV is up very high on wall and you have to lie in bed to see it. Not much room by the bed and only one bedside table, these are small issues which I think we only found as we both poorly whilst we stayed there so the room comfort became a small issue. But the beauty of the place makes up for the lack in comfort and luxury. Only 3 parking spaces sometimes we could park, its very tight but you can park on the road too.

Pros: The owners were very nice and welcoming. The garden area was really nice, and we also enjoyed watching the sunset from the viewpoint

Pros: Tabua Village is a great place to stay for a hiking trip. It is in the middle of the southern coast and it is very comfortable to get everywhere from there. The room has a comfortable double bed together with a small kitchen and a bathroom. The host changes the towels regularly and offers to clean the room (free of charge) if you stay longer than a few days. There are 4 rooms available and 3 parking spaces in the yard but you can easily park on the street. There is a washing machine available (free of charge) which is very helpful. The best part is the yard with many places to sit and enjoy the views of banana trees, mangos and avocados. The hosts are very nice people, sharing everyrhing with the guests - good advices, fresh fruit and even sangria😀 we were very happy to meet them and stay here. Thank you!

Cons: The kitchen could be better equipped, it lacks a few salad bowls, bigger pan, etc. but we managed since we mostly ate out. Right in front of the doors to the rooms there is a shaded area with the dining tables assigned to each room. We would suggest to the host to make this area a non-smoking area because when guests smoke, all of the smell goes directly to the rooms. There are plenty of other places to sit and smoke in the garden. The soundproofing is non-existant so if you have loud late-night-party type of neighbourghs you will not be able to get a good night sleep. Despite all of this, the host was very helpful and very kind and we loved staying here🙂

A very pleasant place

Pros: I visited the place with my soulmate last year and I liked it very much. So this year I came again with the group of 4 friends. We all liked the tranquility of the area and evening meals with a view of banana plantation was just great. The owners are very helpful, polite and caring. We were welcome with plates of fruit and smile. We received a lot of information about places around. The rooms are with their own bathrooms and kitchenettes which is very handy. The common area is also very well equiped with washing machine at your disposal. In all, if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful area, this is a very nice place to stay.

Pros: Very helpful host. Whatever questions we had they try to answer. You can expect several nice suprises. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood. If You rent a car location is not a problem. Rooms simple and clean, a lot of place to seat outside. Highly recommend!
