A large separate living space can also be found on the floor below, with a second kitchen, gymnasium and fabulous games area with table football and pool table, the perfect arena to keep both little and big kids amused.

With calming tones and pops of colour, and some offering access onto a sun terrace, all the bedrooms provide a welcoming space in which to relax after a long day exploring the Island.
As well as the lovely terraces adjoining the living area and the bedrooms, the lower level offers access onto a large patio area where guests can maximise the balmy Madeiran climate. With a refreshing outdoor pool, the whole family will love, as well as stylish dining furniture on which to relish eating al fresco late into the night, you will have everything you need to enjoy a relaxing stay here at Villa Costinha. Situated in a lovely family friendly neighbourhood, just outside the small coastal town of Ribeira Brava, in the beautiful region of Tabua, Villa Costinha is perfectly located just moments from Madeira’s beautiful coastline, with lush green mountains serving as a stunning backdrop.
In just a few minutes, guests can enjoy Ribeira Brava’s vibrant town life, in its quant shops, bars and delicious restaurants, yet not be overcome by many other tourists. And with a lovely promenade and black sandy beach, there is more than enough to keep the whole family amused. Its proximity to many breath-taking hiking opportunities is also a great draw for this stunning area of Madeira.
If it’s a golden sandy beach you desire, then head to Machico on the south east coast, where the sand has been imported from Morocco and you can enjoy fantastic swimming and sunbathing opportunities. Situated in Santa Cruz, you’re also in prime position to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding pine landscapes. And with a stunning backdrop of orange houses nestled in green rolling hills, with the largest mountain on the island Pico Ruivo, inviting you to climb its peaks, you’ll love its scenic beauty. Santa Cruz is also home to many wonderful 16th century monuments as well as some delicious fine dining restaurants.
The Island’s capital Funchal is just 28km east, where you’ll love to amble along its seafront promenade enjoying a drink in one of its many beachfront bars. From here take the cable car to Monte, where you can visit the world-renowned Monte Palace Tropical Garden. And to get back to the Old Town from Monte don’t miss sliding down the steep hill on a traditional wicker toboggan! Once in the old town, be sure to visit some of the fabulous restaurants serving mouth-watering skewered meats, alongside exquisite tapas and heavenly desserts such as honey cake and passion fruit pudding. Football fans will also enjoy a visit to a museum in honour of Madeira’s best loved son Cristiano Ronaldo here.
There are a wide range of activities on offer on the Island, from a quiet round of golf 28km from the villa, to exhilarating 4×4 excursions across the Island, but one of the most breath-taking has to be a glorious hike along some of the 2,092 kilometres of narrow stone irrigation channels known as levadas, criss-crossing Madeira’s lush mountainous countryside into the Laurisilva forest. One of the most scenic is the Levada do Caldeirao Verde, which meanders four miles past leafy glades and plunging ocean views before emerging into a picturesque clearing sprinkled by a 91-meter waterfall. Just spectacular! And for the adrenaline junkies amongst you, try your hand at the many mountain-bike trails that plunge and ascend this beautiful landscape, or throw yourself into some canyoning, which will have you sliding over cascades and abseiling down waterfalls.
For the more serene, a wine tasting tour is a must. Head to Camara de Lobos, a lovely traditional fishing village 20km west for a free Madeira wine tasting experience at local producer Henriques & Henriques. Or perhaps the black lava bathing pools of Porto Moniz, 37km north, will provide the perfect day trip, where the meeting of Atlantic waves and a prehistoric volcanic eruption has formed spiky rings of black lava rock along the waterfront turning it into one of the world’s weirdest and most beautiful swimming baths.
