The intimate family get-away appears to prove she has finally healed the feud with son Rocco which was raging this time last year.

At the beginning of 2016, Madonna was locked in a bitter dispute with ex-husband Gut Ritchie after Rocco walked off her world tour and went to stay with his father in London.

A judge ordered the teen to his mother's care, but Rocco refused and Madonna had to jet to Britain to sort the family drama out.

Mother and son now look happier than ever after putting the personal problems behind them.
