Lively homely feel to the house, well equipped and great hosting by Silvia. Amazing vacation
Pros: Very comfortable homely house with running sound of water and birds. Very relaxing stay and the house came equipped with everything you need while on vacation. Silvia was a very attentive host regularly checking in and on hand for anything. Very much appreciated
Cons: Lack of direct parking at the house. Was off street parking and had to walk down steps to the house. Not ideal with heavy baggage but not the end of the world. The plus points outweigh and negative on parking. I would not hesitate to return back in the near future

A cozy and well-equipped place with a welcoming host – the perfect base for exploring the area!
Pros: Our stay at Casa da Ribeira was absolutely wonderful! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the internet worked flawlessly throughout our stay. The host, Silvia, was incredibly kind and helpful, making sure we felt at home from the very beginning.
Cons: The nearest shop is a bit far, and having a car is necessary to get around beyond the immediate area. However, this was not a major issue for us and was well worth it for the peaceful surroundings.

Excellent!
Pros: Silvia has done an excellent job in renovating her grandmother's home - what a wonderful way of keeping her grandmother's memory alive! We enjoyed our 4 nights at Casa Ribeira. The house is in a beautiful, and quiet, location. Silvia has produced a well-organized 'welcome book', with useful information about, for example, the house, medical services, restaurant suggestions (we also recommend Las Caraibas at Seixal), and even an alphabetical list of books available to read in the house. There is also a folder with information, and pictures, of the fruit trees and plants that can be found in the garden. The house was very clean, the kitchen was very well equipped, the bed was comfortable and the shower water was nice and hot! We liked the 2 seating options outside. Good WhatsApp communication with Silvia. Thank you, Silvia, for your friendliness and warm welcome.
Cons: Nothing!

Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! I wish I could move there permanently:-)
Pros: Everything, absolutely everything since very first meet with Silvia the lovely owner until the very last seconds in her amazing property - and even after. She delivered our forgotten mobile charger after we left - what a kind approach!
Cons: Cant get any useful suggestions what to improve eventually on the spot. Maybe Booking should offer 11 out of 10 rating option for such amazing place:-)

Pros: Casa da Ribeira is a very pleasant place to stay during your visit to Madeira. Located in São Vincente, it is a perfect basis for trips around the island. It's a nicely renovated, spatious, clean, cosy, and fully equipped house, able to easily accomodate an entire family - there's even a playroom for kids. After hiking, we, accompanied by lizzards, enjoyed resting on sunbeds in the garden surrounding the house. Should you be curious about the plants growing there, no problem, you will find a description of them in a booklet laying on the table :-) Sylvia, the host, is very friendly, willing to provide any kind of information to make sure your holiday goes smoothly. Thank you, Sylvia. In our opinion, 10 out of 10 is a well deserved score!

Pros: Przepiękny dom z duszą, wspaniałym ogrodem i niezwykłymi widokami. Małe mankamenty w postaci przejściowej sypialni i lekkiej wilgoci oraz konieczności dojścia od samochodu do domu po dosyć stromych schodach nie wpływają na ocenę. Gdybym mógł, dałbym 11/10.
Cons: Wszystko super
