One of the most exceptional places we have ever stayed.

Pros: We loved everything about Okulus! It was the perfect setting for a special birthday - with a very special view. The host was generous & the drivers were wonderful. Easy walking distance to the town (but up a hill!)

Cons: We said that if we went again then we wouldn't pay extra to heat the pool. Its quite small & could easily have been a chilly plunge pool.

Wonderful stay in the villa, highly recommend

Pros: Central to the old town, amazing views, clean and comfortable

This has to be one of the best- if not the best- villas in Funchal. Cristina, the host, was very helpful and we enjoyed

Pros: The Villa was stunning; beautifully designed and equipped inside and positioned in a spectacular position in Funchal overlooking the harbour. We loved watching the cruise ships come and go.

Pros: We were a group of friends visiting for a long weekend for a special birthday celebration. So we wanted a luxury escape and as we all love the sea and interior design the house fitted our brief. When we arrived we were blown away by the curved windows in the living/ kitchen area looking directly at the sea and Funchal and the interior design of the house. We were also pleasantly surprised by the food welcome pack that included everything we needed for breakfast for 2 days plus wine. The bedrooms and bathrooms were as beautiful as the photos all with sea views and it was easy to choose a room as they were all so nice. The weather in Funchal was only 18 degrees but the terrace was a real suntrap. We were glad we paid to heat the pool as we go hot enough sunbathing to need a cooling dip. Santa Maria where the house is located is near a bar that has some great live music at weekends and a 10 min walk to the old town where we had the most amazing food. We want to come back already !

Cons: I really couldn't find any negatives, if you were staying for longer you might want more hanging or drawer space for clothes.

Stunning villa

Pros: This is a stunning villa. Beautifully presented in a great location with wonderful views. Well equipped too. It looks really nice in the photos but they don't do it justice. 10 mins walk into the old town and lots of restaurants and bars, 15 mins to key tourist attractions. They also give some good tips and recommendations, including their go to taxi driver Jose who was a star. We really didn't want to leave.

Cons: Only criticism was that we couldn't get the pool heated with less than 48 hours notice. This was set out in the email that was sent on booking but that was weeks in advance and I'd forgotten. Given there is no flex in this rule it would be helpful to have a reminder nearer the time. Otherwise comms were good and fortunately weather was pretty good so we braved the pool anyway.

A wonderful villa with amazing views

Pros: Beautiful villa, worked perfectly for our family celebration. Large comfortable living area with a perfect roof top space for relaxing in the sun whilst taking in the breathtaking views of Funchal bay.

Cons: Quite a steep hill to climb up from the town! Lack of hanging space for long items like dresses in the main bedroom.

Pros: The property is really stunning. The location is great and easy walking distance (5-10 minutes) from many restaurants. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The terrace on top made for a great place to relax, swim, and have dinner at sunset.

Mogłabym tu zamieszkać na stałe :)

Pros: Dom jest przepiękny, położony tuż nad oceanem i w niewielkiej odległości spacerem od restauracji i atrakcji. Było czyściutko , kuchnia wyposażona we wszystko, czego potrzebujesz. W łazienkach kosmetyki dobrej jakości. Bardzo wygodne łóżka. Przyjechaliśmy na Wielkanoc i zastaliśmy pięknie nakryty stół i powitalny zestaw. To było bardzo miłe. Dom jest wygodny dla 8 osób, jest w nim mnóstwo miejsca. Basen na tarasie jest bardzo mały ( wielkość zbliżona do bardzo dużego jacuzzi ), ale bardzo przyjemny.
