I took this in May on Madeira Island, Portugal! This is one of the most majestic sights I saw on this island paradise! Penha d'Aguia (Eagle Rock) is really impressive to see up close. It was even difficult to get all this in one photo. I need a better lens ;). I saw it after visiting a distillery in Porto da Cruz. Just a few meters away is this massive landscape! Porto da Cruz is located on the northeastern side of Madeira, definitely a picturesque part of the island! There was even some swimmers around where I took this picture. Everyone was having a good time there, either on the beach of walking along the pier :). There was other awesome views to the other side, as well. Incredible cliffs that seem to go on forever. And it was even foggy on that side, a big contrast to what you see here. I also think I saw Eagle Rock from another side, as well. And would love to return and see more views of it!!

"A very nice house in a good location. The manager was very helpful and was there to meet us and offer advice about Madeira. We were all very happy there"

"Beautiful home in a beautiful little town. Was perfect for our family in every way: spacious, comfortable and in an excellent location walkable to many convenient places, not the least of which the little “snack bar” at the end of the driveway, where we were able to eat good food, partake in poncha and local libations and get to know some locals. As mentioned in other reviews, our children loved the guinea pigs and rabbits. Add in the delicious cherry liquor and wine available for purchase, and...

"We loved our stay in Madeira and Vila Rosa was charming and convenient."

5/5 Excellent

"Lovely stay with a beautiful rooftop pool. I stayed here for the half marathon race and loved the cooler outside my room and refillable glass water bottle. Location is safe and walkable. To many restaurants and attractions in the city. Would certainly stay here again."

5/5 Excellent

"A great 3 night stay. We loved the location - super views but very easy to walk into the town to explore! We were able to park our car on site too which was a real bonus. Our room was clean comfortable and we had a lovely view of the port. We enjoyed the pool and terrace on our last day. One suggestion and that's for more information to be given on the Spa facilities. We thought they were great but sadly only found out about them at the very end of our stay. I have to mention the breakfast buffet. It was amazing. So much choice, catering for all tastes with great staff too If we returned to Funchal we would definitely stay here. "
