If you like bugs, and no sleep, this property is for you.
Beautiful view of the ocean.
I'm writing this review to save everyone some time and money. Bottom line: The property might look great in photos, but the reality of it is that the place is infested with bugs, and showing its age with wear and tear. This is NOT a luxury property.
Now, my husband and I are avid travelers, and go on many trips to nature based locales. We are not afraid of a couple of bugs coming in through the window or door, we totally understand that comes with the territory of staying on an island. This an INFESTATION, y'all. We had noticed that the bedroom was infested with ants, not just one or two, but a swarm. Unfortunately, we didn't notice until the last day, and when I brought this to our host's attention, he brushed me off and said "it can really happen" but it is "out of our control". Not the response I would expect from someone looking to take care of their property and guests. The ants even followed us to our next hotel on our trip, they must have been in our clothes and bags.
Another issue is sleep quality- the refrigerator is quite noisy/old and makes loud banging noises all night. So if you're looking to get any sleep, forget that idea.
Lastly, just general cleanliness notes- cups in kitchen were dirty so I decided to run them through the dishwasher to clean again. Fruit on the kitchen counter was moldy. And there was no garbage pail in the kitchen for some reason.
I've only written two negative travel reviews in my life, and this is one of them. I would love the host to sleep here for a night, and then let me know if he thinks all of this is acceptable.

it is an amazing villa! highly recommended
We stay 4 days at Casa da Vargem,
It is an amazing villa, with a wonderful view to the ocean .
The casa designed in modern clean architecture ,which together with the panoramic view of the nature around, gives kind of “Zen atmosphere” .
The place is really amazing, much better then the photos!
Miguel the owner use to work for many years at hotels, and the Villas are his dream come true. You can feel and see his professional touch in every detail at the villa which has 2 bedrooms, leaving room, wonderful shower, amazing swimming pool, hot tab at the garden, very well equipped kitchen and privet garden with plants and herbs that the guest can use for cooking or tee.
There are also many other useful facilities that you can use such as washing and drying machine, every thing is new and works perfect.
The bottom line is -5 stars experience.
Next time we will be in madeira we will be back to Casa da Vargem.🌺

Poor
Honestly not much. The city view is nice. At least the pool was clean and warm.
First of all, it was not clean. The floors were dirty, filled with hair strands. The dishes were soiled, the hot tube ( it is not a jacuzzi) was filthy, we scrubbed it down for one hour before we used it.
Second : the place is bug infested. Bugs, spiders... Everywhere. We stayed in two more locations that were proposing the same standards and it was spotless there even regarding the insects. So Vargem has no excuse.
Third: we were greeted by the owner's gf. She told us that the owner left us three wine bottles and if we drink them we have to pay between 50 and 70 euro per bottle. Only one issue : it's bad taste to assume that if we drink them we will try to replace them by buying other bottles. She warned us that those are some rare wines that we cannot find anywhere else and that the price set by the owner is lower than it should be. Fair warning : i did a search just for fun and I found all of them significantly cheaper. Also, she made sure to show us where the mop, bucket and cleaning products were. Maybe she expected that we would do the job thay they were supposed to do.
Fourth : total lack of amenitis.there wasn't even salt in the kitchen. They left behind for 5 days one garbage bin bag and two washing dish pills. That's just being cheap.
Fifth : the photos are a bit misleading. For example: in the photos it might seem that the bamboo wall is right next to the pool. It isn't.
Sixth : the smell. The place smells moldy ( which might be a hazard). Also, the couch smells awful.
Seventh : way too overpriced for what it offers.
De locatie is prachtig en goed gelegen vlakbij Ponta do Sol. Het huis is goed onderhouden en de keuken is goed uitgerust. De fruitmand als welkomsgeschenk is een heel erg fijne bonus.
Veel buurtkatten (die lief zijn) maar je wel in 't oog moet houden, anders zitten ze binnen. Het huis heeft wel wat last van vochtigheid (maar wel ontvochtiger aanwezig) en insecten.
