We have searched assiduously for a property in Madeira over the past 8 years and had all but given up hope when we met Filipe ... of VIPM homes who showed us the delightful development of 4 homes in the little hamlet of Lombo do Douro just above the village of Calheta on the sunniest coastline of Madeira.
After several mishaps with various unsavoury characters whom we had previously dealt with on the island, 
it was a delight to meet such a wholesome young man and his business partner, both Madeiran lawyers of considerable reputation. They have assisted us in every way possible and nothing has been too much trouble for them. The houses represent excellent value for money and are finished to a high standard.

We were particularly impressed with the oak flooring and woodwork throughout and the stunning modern bathrooms and kitchen. The properties have an uninterrupted view over sea and mountain yet offer considerable privacy and tranquillity. Each property has ample terracing with several borders ready for planting.

The houses are equipped with a strong security door, double glazing and shutters which makes them easy to lock up and leave in the unlikely event you may wish to return to the UK or travel further afield! Funchal, the third largest city in Portugal is a mere 30 minutes drive and an extra 10 minutes or so takes you to the airport.
Two of the four houses within this development have already been sold but it is perhaps worth mentioning that Filipe and his partner have two further properties in an advanced state of development situated a little closer to Funchal each of which has the advantage of a private swimming pool.

If you are seeking a property in Madeira, we cannot recommend these developers highly enough!

We are delighted with the house in Lombo do Doutor, above Calheta, which we have just bought from VIPM Homes, a company which is owned and operated by two reputable Madeiran lawyers.
As usual for its developments VIPM has selected a prime site with stunning sea and mountain views in the sunniest and warmest part of the island. But more than this, the houses are spacious and thoughtfully designed and well constructed to a very high standard with fine floors and bathroom, kitchen and bedroom fittings.

We have found the principals of VIPM helpful and courteous and the purchase procedure clear and simple.

We think the houses on this development represent very good value for money and we thoroughly recommend VIPM to anyone thinking of buying a house in Madeira.
