Find Places to Stay in Madeira on Airbnb

Very nice place to discover, the island is really beautiful, small but a lot to see, Ana is very welcoming and sharing if you have any information to ask. The location is great and well located. Really a very good stay, thank you.

Room with bathroom in private house, on the ground floor, with use of external kitchen. Perfect bathroom. Double bed a little stiff. Perfect location, not facing the sea, but still very close. At night we heard the sound of the waves! We were there for eight nights ... the day to visit Madeira ... in my opinion excellent choice! The restaurant is recommended and the hostess and husband are highly recommended. Maurizio and Natalia

Anas airbnb is a great place to stay! So clean and quiet- apart from the sound of the waves, which was so nice to hear. The kitchen was very well equipped and the bed comfortable. Ana welcomed us warmly and made us feel at home. I would definitely recommend to stay here, such a beautiful location.

One of my favorite Airbnb stays so far! Fantastic location with spectacular sunsets, and the property itself is awesome with a heated outdoor pool, hammocks, tables outside, a large outdoor(ish) kitchen & a friendly cat. Lovely hosts. Ana even had a delicious Madeiran pastry waiting for me. The guest room itself is absolutely spotless! With a spacious bathroom that has a great shower (not always given). I hope to be back someday for a longer stay!

We had a very good stay with Ana. We felt like at home. Photos consistent with the accommodation, spacious bedroom and very well equipped kitchen. It was nice to hear the ocean noise from our room. We recommend this address.

This is a really great spot next to the water!! You are in Madalena do Mar, so you will need a car. I found this to be an ideal spot outside of the city which made it very easy to navigate the western side of the island, and pretty easy to get around in general. The room is very spacious and comfortable, along with a very nice bathroom. Took advantage of having a kitchen and did cook a couple times, so I appreciated having all the necessary items to do so. The pool area is lovely and the photos online do not do this area justice. Hopefully when I return I will have a chance to enjoy it!!

A super place to stay, comfortable with a great bedroom and kitchen, not to mention the pool. Ana was a great host. We would thoroughly recommend Ana's home.

This is a fantastic accommodation close to the sea . The room is very clean and cozy. The kitchen is simply an amazing place to hang out and cook . Can’t recommend enough .

The house is wonderful. It lies perfectly and there is everything you need! José is a great, very attentive, not a bit intrusive host. Warmest recommendation!

Jose is a very kind and generous host who made us feel welcome the moment we arrived. As each day went by, we discovered more and more things we liked about the house and would definitely stay here again. Being so high up is a thrill and having Levada Nova at your doorstep a definite bonus. One drawback was only being able to get wifi on the back deck, but with Madeira’s perfect climate year-round, we were quite happy to be outside. We had a terrific week in a great location with a wonderful host.

It was wonderful in this very nice house with lovely thinks and a wonderful and frienfly kind of Jose. We come back to this nice place.

This is the most amazing place ever. It’s full of character and in a beautiful garden. Just imagine yourself living among banana trees and sugar cane fields, all the sounds of country life going on round you and with the bonus of the occasional canary coming to sing delightful tunes to you from the telegraph wires. We stayed for just over 3 weeks. Used Jose’s washing machine once a week and he had someone come in to change the sheets and towels weekly. You’ll never get tired of the local levada walks vertigo permitting and there is a great walk down to Ponto do Sol and back up again after delicious grilled parrot fish at the cafe on the beach. The heater keeps you toasty warm on cool evenings.

We had a great stay in José's house. To start with, the house is sublime, full of charm with a view of the ocean and the banana trees to die for. There are all the necessary equipment for cooking, eating, washing but also for the hygiene of the premises. José is a very friendly, very responsive host, who made us wonderfully welcome. There was already food on arrival and everything needed for a great vacation. We would definitely come back to José's if we were to return to Madeira.

We had a very good time with José! The house is quiet with a sea view, is comfortably furnished and equipped with everything you need. On arrival we were greeted with fruit and cake, and José had already bought for breakfast and filled the fridge. José is a very good and nice host who takes care of everything. Ponta do Sol is a pretty little place with bars and restaurants for a cozy afternoon or evening. It is ideal as a starting point for exploring the island, but a car is a must to get to the house. The view and tranquility of the accommodation and only sunny days from Christmas to New Year made our holiday experience perfect, price / performance ratio was absolutely right. We would love to come back.

Everything was just like everybody here already described. Jose gave us a warm welcome with tipps about the island and a welcome-package with fruits and wine and food for the first days. The house and the location were just beautiful and we have nothing negative to say. Absolutely recommendable!

Very nice little cottage to relax. Location in a typical village and one of the sunniest areas of Madeira.

It is a cozy, little house with a stunning mountain-view. The furnishing is remarkable, there is everything from a barbecue to the microwave. Maria and Alexandre are great and warmly hosts. 100% recommendation !

The location is pretty remote, so Maria made sure we could find it by showing is the way. The tips about the supermarket and the nearby levada walk were also appreciated. Fresh vegetables, herbs and eggs available in our appartment. Veel delicious! Would love to stay again

We had a fabulous stay at Maria & Alexandre's location. It was a beautiful spot, excellent views and the hosts are amazingly attentive.

Very clean house, exceptional view, very welcoming, house with full appliances, I recommend.

Fantastic place to stay. Away from the city and able to just enjoy our own space and the local sights. Will likely return in the future due to the excellent value, great hospitality and soft touches.

Nice house in a beautiful and peaceful place. Maria, Alexandre and Aldino are very friendly and welcoming!

It was really great to spend our holidays at Maria and Alexandre’s place. I would highly recommend to stay there due to beautiful view and all necessary house facilities. Only keep in mind that it is good to have a car to get there, but if you look for some heaven of peace this is a place !

The location is ideal for those who love nature. The house located on the north coast offers a perfect location for nature lovers. The attentions of Maria and Alexandre are perfect.

Magnificent! Really beautiful and Magna is a very nice host

I found everything exactly as in the photos. Magna is a wonderful, warm-hearted host. We recommend.

Nice and very clean room. Very beautiful view. Well located to enjoy the north side. Warm welcome from Magna. I recommend.

Ideal space to relax. Enjoy!

It's been amazing at Magda's place, she is the nicest host I have ever met! My partner and me where there over Christmas so we were spontaneously invited to join the family and friends' dinner on Christmas eve. Absolutely wonderful. The room is beautiful with a stunning view over the sea and breakfast was super tasty. A wonderful experience!

Magna is super host rightly. She is very willing woman. Her house is pretty so much.

Magna is very hospitable. She told us many things about Madeiera. Room was clear and with amazing view. Magna is like master chef ;)

So happy I could book last minute a room at Magna's place. Communication is very reactive. The place is really great with a beautiful big terrace with a stunning view! Private bathroom, a watercooker, thee, coffee,.... Chances are that I am coming back. Also Magna can give you a lot of information about Madeira. Merci Magna!

Apartment 8 minutes from downtown Funchal. Very appreciable sea view. Welcome on arrival as expected. I recommend.

Great place with a beautiful ocean view. Everything as described, and it happens differently. Just half an hour walk along the promenade from the center. Clean and functional, well-equipped kitchenette and a comfortable bed :) I recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay and view beautifull and flat nice and clean

Great appt. Smooth check in, excellent location and great area for food. Tremendous transport links, and fabulous weather

We recommend by experience.

We had a great time at Tony's place. It was very well equipped, everything we forgot or didn't take with us was there, ready for us to use. The kitchen comes handy for basic cooking which you can enjoy on the balcony with stunning views. The flat makes a great base for exploring the island, connection to faster roads was easy. There was also no problem to find a parking space at the assigned parking lot in October. You can find a big supermarket close to the flat and also many restaurants, bars and beach clubs. We will definitely choose Tony's place again next time on Madeira!

Very nice little flat, clean, loved the pool of the building, good location, amazing views. We were very happy.

Apartment-apartment in which everything is for relaxation. Bathroom with shower, washing machine, kitchen with everything you need, coffee maker-croup, geyser coffee maker. The location is also very good: to Formosa beach 20 minutes on foot, to the center 40 minutes on foot or 10 minutes by bus. Near Madeira forum with shops. Towels, linen provided. The complex has a swimming pool. The only thing - they rented a car, put it in the parking lot only once. Almost always there are no places, but you can squeeze into the parking bay azul.

We had an unforgettable stay. It was wonderful!

We had an unforgettable stay at the Uni Water Studio. The location is beautiful and as shown in the photos. It is really special to have the constant connection to the ocean, when cooking, eating, sleeping - beautiful. However, you should take earplugs with you because the surf can be very loud. A hike to Prazeres and Paul do Mar is right on the doorstep (but you should be fit and really good on foot because Prazeres is really steep up some very rough paths, and you should definitely check the tides online , if you want to walk back on the beach - this route is also very tough due to the very rough stones - you have to be really good on foot. Alternative taxi back to Jardim do Mar is not far). On Sundays there is a market for agricultural products in Prazeres at unbeatable prices - highly recommended. Conclusion: we found it beautiful and would definitely love to come back

We had a wonderful week in the Uni WATER studio. The view and the studio were super nice. We are happy to come here again.

No precise word to describe our stay at UNI .... !!! Perfect, beautiful, extraordinary, heavenly .... !!!! Everything was on top. We spent a dream week. Madeira is magnificent when you look at it from this terrace. Thank you and thank you again .... see you soon.

Front row seats to an incredible coastline contrasted by an impressive cliffside. We were fortunate to see a 24 hour coastal storm during our stay and it was simply magnificent. Well equipped kitchen made it a homey stay. Great hot showers, good beds and plenty of room outdoors with our private patio and balcony. Definitely stay at least a week. Jota was a great and responsive host.

This is a wonderful place to chill and watch the spectacular views. Highly recommend and will return . I will never forget the view on waking up out to see and mountains

Beautiful place! Relaxing and calm with an amazing view!

Great place to stay, amazing views from the bedroom and balcony. Loved the privacy and homely feel. Thank you!

Great place to stay, 5 star experience. Host Christina was most helpful and kind. Place was immaculate. Bakery, and supermarket not too far away.

Cristina is very kind and helpful, her apartment is beautiful (the view is amazing) and cozy.

Highly recommend this place. Many personal touches (highly appreciated!), a lovely balcony overlooking Funchal, and a grocery and bakery closeby. Walking distance to bus 20 and 21 . Very friendly hosts!

Cristina's apartment was a great choice for us. Convenient location, great communication with our host, we got plenty of tips and recommendations. The apartment itself was clean and spacious, we have a wonderful little terrace to enjoy beautiful views of Funchal. Amazing stay and I can only highly recommend staying at Cristina's place. Thanks!

Cristina and her husband kindly picked us up at the airport upon our arrival before we had a quick drive around Funchal. Their loft corresponds in every respect to the description and the photos. Very well equipped and located 20 minutes walk from the center of Funchal, it allows to rest after a good day of hiking and exploring Madeira.

Cristina was a great host and together with her husband showed us excellent hospitality throughout our stay. Having picked us up from the airport they took us on a tour of Funchal and dropped us at the local supermarket to get set up with food for our stay. The apartment was extremely comfortable with excellent views over the sea. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone.

The apartment has a very nice view. The bed is big enough for two and very good to sleep in. Cristina and her husband are very kind and easy going and have always good tips and information on the island . Thank you very much for the nice stay...

Great view of the city from the balcony. Fantastic location with plenty of parking. Our host was great and answered any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again in Madeira.

Really enjoyed. Accommodation to return soon

We stayed for 2 nights and found the space available to us was perfect after busy days running around. The bed is so comfortable I would of gladly taken it home. (I did take a peak at the make). The space is well thought out and ideal for those looking to be very close to the centre. Communication and instructions from Grys were spot on. Would recommend

We unfortunately never met Grys ourselves, but the check in went really easy and the stay was very pleasant as well! The steep walk to the apartment might be a bit tiring but the view and sunsets are stunning up there! Would love to come back one day!

A perfect basecamp for exploring Madeira! Grys's apt would be the best choice for solo travelers and couples (of both friends and lovers). It's basic but neat, with surfing neighbors next door — Marco saved me once when I've left the keys inside the apt, thank you! You'll have the rooftop terrace with no one there, facing the ocean and the harbor with its tourist ships, every day new, and the funicular cabins will be gently humming above your head. The airbnb is very well located, close to every bus stop you might need to go to the beach, mountains, forests. Flaneuring the city is very easy from there, too. To reach the front door you'll have to make a short training climb, as the street is pretty steep, so if you are into high heels or have a knee injury due to fixed-gear cycling, please be aware of that! Thank you, Grys, hope to meet you again one day 🙌

Great views from the terrace of the waterfront in the distance and a short, but steep walk to and from main attractions in Funchal. Overall very nice stay for a trip to Funchal :)

Great location for getting around Funchal. Off road parking a bonus. Really appreciated tips of where to eat! Grys was fab, really easy to communicate!Thanks so much!

Great location, terrace with freat views over the city, simple but stylish

Just as described, Grys accommodation is perfect for staying in Funchal. Small but very functional, welcoming and far from city traffic (still quickly to reach) With Grys fast and useful communications ... with some advice on transport and bars / restaurants that have not disappointed us, indeed! Independent check in and check out. All very practical and efficient. Recommended place. Roberta & Mathieu

What a beautiful place to stay!! It was truly a paradise. Thank you Nuno and Roberto for sharing your beautiful land with us. Laying beneath the stars at night in our Fig Tipi was magical. It was the best view we had in all of Madeira. We had our own private bathroom and semi-outdoor shower that were really amazing. Very clean! We can hopefully come back some day to visit again. We would 100% recommend 'Glamping in a Hidden Paradise' at Canto das Fontes. Also the '90° bar and grill' right down the street was excellent!!

We were blown away by our stay here - the view is better than any picture can show and the whole place is magical. This is the first place I’ve booked where we know we will come back. The perfect location to relax and take some time for yourself. Particular highlights are eating the bananas from the trees and passion fruits we picked from the vine outside our tipi, plus other fruits, herbs and edible flowers from the garden. Nuno and Roberto are fantastic hosts and make you feel very welcome. I cannot fault our stay at all and we are so grateful we had the opportunity to experience this little paradise.

Most impressing and best stay we had during our holiday in Madeira. We enjoyed our tipi just as much as the kitchen, where the guests and hosts all came together. Really nice people and an amazing ambiance. We regret that we only booked two nights!!

The pictures say it all, this place will not disappoint. If you have the opportunity to book, do it! What a way to end our trip. The tipi and grounds were amazing.

This place is magnificant. It will be more than you can dream of. The magic of nature will kiss you on this beautyful natural reservat, kept with a lot of live and wisdom of nature itself.

Highly recommend, this air bnb is the most unique I’ve ever stayed in and you’ll see the best sunset of your life from your bed!

We can only endorse all the other reviews: You really feel like you're in paradise! The whole complex and the view make this experience unique. The fresh fruits in the garden (bananas, passion fruits, guavas, etc.), the cuddly cat Mimi and the hosts made our stay more than perfect. Nearby is a restaurant (90°), which can be reached by foot in 10 minutes, breakfast is great in a small café at the nearest gas station in Ponta do Sol. Right here is also a small supermarket where you can get everything you need. We hope that this was not our last stay on Madeira and at this truly "hidden paradise".

The location, scenery, outdoor kitchen, Mimi (the cat), and Nuno (the host) were all amazing. We really enjoyed our calm stay in the Tipi, cooking meals in the outdoor kitchen, and exploring Madeira! We will definitely be back.

Charming, comfortable, clean, and beautiful. The house sits upon one of the many mountains looking out at the ocean. You have access to all areas of the island from the house. We felt right at home!

The house is absolutely stunning, inside and outside! Marilene was a lovely host, she was really reactive to any message which is so reassuring. When we arrived, she welcomed us with a big smile and took the time to show us around the house and give us some advice for our visits. She recommended a carnival in Santana on the day of our arrival and we had a great time there! The house is perfectly well equipped and is super super clean. We loved our welcome gifts as it gave a personal warm touch which made us feel at home :) thank you Marilene! My only comment would be that it was quite cold when we were there, so bring big jumpers and use the wood-burner and blankets!

Wow what a house !! We loved everything: the exceptional house, the fantastic welcome gifts, the decoration, the cleanliness, the restaurant next door excellent (a stroll can be done on the coastal path!), The comfort of the beds (small precision a room was closed, there were only four of us, it didn't bother us at all but it can be useful to know), the outdoor barbecue, the balcony with the sea view, the smell of flowers ... in short we we have only one desire: to return to the same place !! Thanks again!!

Excellent place in a quiet town on the North coast. Only 50 meters from a bar restaurant. The house very nice and has lots of space and is close to some nice hiking trails.

Our stay in Sao Jorge was great. The cottage is very nice and spacious. On arrival a few little things awaited us to eat and drink. Marilene received us personally, showed everything and gave many tips for the north coast. That was great! We were there in January, so slippers or at least thick socks are highly recommended.

Great villa in the north of the island. See the ocean with the massive clouds falling down the mountains. It is beautiful! Rotilio and Marilene were incredible : they were there to welcome us and show us around the villa, they left us welcoming gifts and were really easy to contact. The villa has flyers of different regions on the island, which was really helpful to plan our trip. We really enjoyed our stay and would strongly recommend this villa for a stay in the north of Madeira.

The house is large and well equipped, with two bathrooms and two fire stoves and an open fire place in the kitchen, next to the gas stove there. The fire stove was useful in winter, as the site is then shaded by a large rock face most of the day. There is a very good restaurant at about one minute’s walk, and several good, not very touristy walks close by.

A super house in a superisla! Rotilio and Marilene have been magnificent guests. We arrived more than an hour late and were waiting for us with a smile and with some welcome gifts (fruit, wine ...). Halfway through our stay we ran out of firewood and they brought us much more than we needed. The house itself is very spacious with two double bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen on the upper floor connected by a staircase (somewhat steep) to the ground floor, where we have a living room with sofa, wifi, tv ..., a double room and a bathroom. On both floors there is a fireplace, which we lit every afternoon. At night it cools, about 10-14 degrees. Outside there is a barbecue and some garden. The only but of the house is the humidity that is in all the North zone, although in return you have the most abundant vegetation. Near the house, about 50m, there is a very good restaurant, from where a very nice walk to the next town. Very close to the house is the levada do calderao verde (very famous) and the levada do Rei, less crowded and also beautiful. In short, a TOP accommodation, highly recommended. Obrigado and until next time!

The cozy villa by Bruno is a little paradise, where we had nothing to be desired. It is in a wonderful location on a slope with a wide view of the sea and the surrounding landscape. You can move around freely at the in-house pool with hammocks in the garden, as it does not allow insights from outside. Balconies, terraces and the numerous seating options are illuminated by the sun throughout the day. Another highlight is the lovingly furnished small outdoor kitchen with a grill. A great place to experience a relaxing holiday :-))

We had a really great time in that house. There is everything and the surroundings are beautiful.

Bruno's house is incredibly beautiful and is equipped with everything you need to just let your mind wander. We felt very comfortable. We found the outdoor kitchen with grill and the garden with so many lovely details and cozy lighting at night particularly beautiful. We definitely recommend the accommodation.

Bruno's place is fantastic. As is Bruno - we also spent a day with him seeing the bits of the island you wouldn't usually find. Perfect space to stay and relax and from which to explore.

Really really espectacular, fabulous sightseeing, luxurious garden, totally equipped for cooking indoor or have a barbecue outdoor. Just one warning: only for skilled drivers. Totally recommended!

We love your house. It is spacious, well equipped, trendy interior and a cosy garden with different seats. Also when it rains, we'd sit outside and put on the fireplace, put some meat on it and together with a good glass of wine were able to sit outside, even though it was January. The view was magnificent! We simply loved the place. Thank you! Regards Marc and Marion

It is obvious that Bruno has approached this house from the user's perspective and included everything one could ask for. It was five of us staying at the place and we just couldn't ask for a better base to discover the island off of. Great communication too, had no any problem with arriving in the middle of the night.

The house is exactly as shown on the pictures! We spend wonderful relaxing days in the garden and at the pool, even though we stayed there in Dec./Jan.! Especially at night it is very very nice to enjoy the lights and the hot tub! The house itself is equipped with just about anything you can think of, f.e. a deep fryer in the kitchen..) We underestimated the steep roads a liltte, so make sure to get a proper car with enough horsepower to make it up there! Bruno was available for us at any time, helpfull and very kind! We are very happy to have found this place for our vacation to start off with the new century!

Super host, we really enjoyed the time, very nice house

Breathtaking!

Incredible space for a dream vacation in Madeira! Near Funchal, near the airport. It's really worth it!

A super house with everything you should need for a fab holiday. A real sun trap in January and a gorgeous sanctuary although not far from anything including the beach. The private pool was a true bonus and all was so clean and well organised. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to create a meal and once cooked you can sit outside looking across to the excellent views! I really can't think of one negative the place was perfect and we enjoyed it so much I'm sure we will be back. Bruno was so lovely and gave us lots of recommendations which all worked out well and added to our stay just wish we were still there !!!

The house is well equipped. It has a wonderful view of the Cristo Rei statue. We felt very comfortable.

A delicious stay where we savored every day of our vacation. All the ingredients were at the meeting, Bruno's sympathy, a heavenly setting, a superb house tastefully decorated, the pool and the sun ..... Thank you Carla for the responsiveness of the messages. We returned to France with images full of eyes ....

Very nice stay, very well prepared apartment with stunning view. Great and helpul host!

This house is perfect. The view is wonderful. Large terrace with covered outdoor area. With much love for details furnished. Everything very generously arranged. The house owner Bruno is extremely helpful. We, two couples, were thrilled and will certainly ask Bruno again for rent out his beautiful place.

Accommodation decorated with many tastes, attentions of the hosts particularly appreciable (fresh bread every morning, chicken coop eggs, cheese and cold cuts). Quiet location in a natural setting (permaculture, hens, ducks, rabbits, etc.). A smiling and available host.

Nice place. Quiet. The house was nice with a fireplace. I recommend.

Perfect in all terms : The location : a paradise ! The team : very carefull and very aware about everything to make our stay a perfect stay ! The house : very cosy and absolutly like it is describe, even better ! Don't hesitate to book here for a wonderfull discovery of Madeira !

A wonderful place overlooking fields and Ponta do Pargo towards the sea. Breakfast ingredients available in the apartments and fresh bread delivered to the door every morning. Houses are surrounded by a beautiful park-like garden with animals (like sheep, ducks, rabbits, chicken) that are kept separately. Nice shared pool with sunbirds available as well as a small onpremise shop, which is a nice alternative for a quick shopping (e.g. wines, beer, oil, pasta, rice, soft drinks). We used it several times just to refill the ‚bar‘. Overall a wonderful place and we had a great time.

Beautiful place!!

Wonderful stay, lovely owners, no remarks at all :-)

Very nice little stone houses with a beautiful garden and pool. Breathtaking view!!

Perfect chill place, everything was perfect, we had a nice time at ponta do pargo, little paradise on madeira :) don't hesitate to book here !

The tent and the place are adorable .... the view is super beautiful and the decor of the tent is very loving. Albert is a very pleasant host who reacts very quickly to questions and gives good tips. Unfortunately we had the bad luck that the wind was very strong at the time. Gladly again.

Cool place to stay with an amazing view. Communication with Albert works great and he gives lots of helpful tips.

An accommodation with a splendid, unusual view, very satisfactory and functional equipment, and a pleasant welcome !! Do not hesitate, this place is unique and you will find few of this kind

We had 2 very good days/nights at Albert’s tent: beautiful weather, not windy in the tent, absolute stunning views. Albert also shared some tips for levadas, local addresses which is much appreciated .

I highly recommend this place : the view is awesome, the tent is very nice in a quiet place, Albert is so cool and always ready to help you!

The tents are a wonderful experience and very very comfortable and cozy! Albert is a great host and provided us with a lot of local information - we planned our entire visit around his suggestions and had the best time! The most lovely bakery is just around the corner for breakfast and some amazing trekking routes not far from the tents. Only wish we had longer to stay.... can’t recommend this place enough!

Albert is a nice and courteous host. He gave us all the information that is useful for the location, and the communication in advance was simple and uncomplicated. The location of the accommodation was stunning, we looked at the pictures, but the view in nature looks even better. The accommodation itself was also great, everything was there that was needed (especially for cooking), it was lovingly furnished and really neat. However, you have to remember that it is a tent (reinforced with wood paneling) so that it can get a bit noisy when it is windy. All in all more than recommended!

We had a very nice stay in Albert's place. The tent was very clean and comfortable. It's not for everyone, of course, but if you're looking for something different and want to hide away from crowds a bit, it's perfect. Hot water in the tent was definitely a nice surprise. If it's very windy, the tent gets really loud, so keep that in mind. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. The view from the porch is breathtaking.

as close to paradise as you'll get!! awesome outdoor living!

The Hidden Paradise is actually a paradise, anyone looking for an extraordinary experience, who likes nature and needs relaxation, has to spend a few nights here. The connection to the rest of the island is very good by car. And apart from rustling some trees and waves, it is absolutely silent. The shared kitchen was also no problem - on the contrary, you get to know nice people if you like. Anyone who decides to spend a few nights there should plan at least half a day where they only spend time in the “hidden paradise” and enjoy the beauty Absolute recommendation from us.

We had a great time in Madeira and after every very eventful day we were always very happy to be able to return to our oasis of calm, Nuno received us very warmly and helped us a lot with our suitcase lost at the airport! It was also great that there was always fresh fruit in the kitchen and the herb garden in front of the kitchen is really beautiful, we were happy to use it. We saw from the other rental cars that the other two tents were also occupied, but hardly anyone else saw the whole area is well thought out and really beautiful! A car is definitely necessary! It also makes sense to use the directions given here in airbnb because Google Maps does not know this wonderful place

Paradise! Everything was lovely. Tip: bring flip flops for the shower. It is lined with rocks and is a bit uncomfortable on bare feet.

Glamping in a stunning location - highly recommended if you are looking for somewhere to relax

Truly dreamy.

We literally felt like in Paradise. We don't have words for the beauty of this place! Definitely recommended to stay there! We stayed 3 days and could have easily stayed much longer. It's a little piece of heaven :) we hope we can come back soon.

A little piece of heaven to discover absolutely

It's the perfect place to relax. The seaview is amazing, it is calm, but you also can explore the island from here. Everything just perfect!

Location and exceptional view for this very well equipped and furnished cottage. Beautiful infinity pool which I could not take advantage of because of the weather but it will be for next time ...? Nothing to say therefore for this accommodation, perfect on all points!

We spend around 5 nights in the smallest apartment of the three and it really is a lovely apartment. Really great view - we spend the most evenings with having a barbecue, while watching the sunset. The pool is also great and you have the same perfect view while swimming ! If you want to go for hikes, especially for some of the popular Levada hikes, it is the perfect base. We can highly recommend it.

As soon as we`ve arrived in Estreito di Calheta we felt super happy about our choice and holiday mode was instantly on. The estate is devided in 3 houses/apprtments of which all of them are very nice but the Palheiro house was even more special. A barn in old days it`s now a completely renovated and super cozy stylish little house perfect for a couple. Where to start? The vie out of the bed on the sea (!) is breathetaking, and also the rest is just on fleek. Very well equipped and furnished you´ll find everything you need. And even more. As we are garden lovers we were superhappy about the fact that the use of the commen herbal garden is more than wanted. The pool area (inifity pool) is extremely well trimmed and looked after. You`ll find yourself chilling inbetween palmtrees, hibiscus flowers and a view you won`t forget. The hosts themselvwes were super welcoming and great help in any way. As we were celbrating a birthday whilst our stay they even prepared a little birthday present. Oh and did I mention the herbal infusion as a welcome? I am counting the day to go back to beautiful cas Palheiro! Thank you very much and see you soon!

We had a great time! The location is perfect, the house equipped with everything we needed and the view from the terrace great. If we come again to Madeira we will definitely stay here again. Thank you very much for everything, Ana & Fabrice!

Great apartment with a beautiful view, nice pool and garden. One of the best Airbnb we stayed so far. Thanks!

We had a great stay!

Simply an absolute dream destination! We will be back! Everything just heaven!

It's a wonderfull house and it have all what you need and more. The pool is perfekt to take a nice bath with amazing view. We highly recommended it! Best wishes Lis & Caro

Absolutely beautiful villa with stunning views in what felt like an authentic area of Madeira.

Beautiful villa, with fantastic views. The building is modern and bright, with all the amenities you might need. A great location to explore the island and great to come home to the pool after a day of walking. A car is definitely needed, Madeira has a fantastic road network which is well maintained and suitable for novice drivers. Overall a fantastic stay, thank you!

It is a very nice house with lovely views and very clean. It is on a super steep road and in a remote area so a car is necessary. The pool is tiny, but quite warm, so able to have a dip even in January.

This place has amazing views, very spacious, al areas are updated and extremely clean. The view is amazing. Its a great place if traveling w family and planning to visit by car different points of the island. Markets and shops are very close. All mattresses are very good.

We had super nice days in the Villa von Telmo and Mandy. The house is clean and really well equipped. Nothing was missing. The description fits the circumstances exactly. In particular, the view from the balcony of one of the bedrooms is breathtaking. We would love to come back.

The location was great with a stunnig view in a fantastic part of Madeira. We had an amazing time here!

All around perfectly equipped villa with stunning views.

Wonderful apartment, near the center, promenade for walks. Very friendly hostess, in the housing complex there is a swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a sports hall - all are in the public domain. Recommend!

The apartment is great and the view from the balcony is stunning. Paula is a perfect host and made our stay easy and comfortable. Nothing to complain about and would love to come back!

Nice apartment

Paula's place is really nice! The space is very clean and beautifully decorated. The balcony is perfect for watching sunsets and we enjoyed the hike down to the beach for great eating spots. If you are a light sleeper, may hear parking lot noises when doors are left open at night which we needed to do because of warmth. And you will need a car to drive to things in older Funchal becauce not interesting walking here , except the beach and pool are great here! Overall a very nice apartment and thoughtful host.

Stunning place! Sunsets at the pool and hot tub were beautiful. The apartments were very safe and well kept. Very relaxing. Lots of taxis just a 10 minute walk away to take you where you want to go. 100% recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing stay but still near some fun spots!

Short review: Just WOW!!! Detailed review: Paula is such a sweet person and fantastic host, best we ever had! We arrived to Funchal very early, she let us leave our stuff with her and did everything she could to let us check in as soon as possible, on the last day she let us stay longer in the apartment because our flight was late in the afternoon, she explained to us everything we needed to know about Funchal and recommended great restaurant where we eat delicious fish while enjoying amazing view of the ocean. Apartment is beautiful, it has more than everything you need for a pleasant stay, but even if it didn't it wouldn't matter because view from the balcony is so spectacular that you don't need anything else! This is by far the best airbnb experience we had! Thanks for everything Paula and see you again soon! :) Nikola & Jéssica

Paula’s place is spacious, clean and has everything you need. The apartment is in a great location. You can have a pleasant walk into Funchal takes about 90mins or the bus stop is right outside. There are lots of local shops on the door step and Paula gave us lots of local tips. The apartment complex is very well looked after the jacuzzi with such a beautiful view can’t be missed. We hired the Toyota from Paula great value and a perfect way to visit the island. Paula also picked us up from the airport. Paula is very warm and welcoming. Communication was great. This is a great spot and Paula is an amazing host!

Paula is a wonderful host, very helpful and kind. She picked us up from the airport and provided loads of tips. The flat is very close to the beach which is great if you are a nature lover. There is also a perfect promenade for jogging along the shore. The corner cafe is great for breakfast and the greengrocers next door have a good selection of fruits and veggies, including the tropical ones. Very good value for money. Thank you Paula! Obrigada ☺️

Very nice place to stay with a wonderfull wiev.

This really is a slice of heaven. Perfect for relaxing for everyone who is searching a calm place. Incredible view. Clean place. Very quick and friendly communication. We went with rented car from the airport. A car is definitely recommended to get to all the areas you would like to visit on the island. Jardim do Mar is situated one hour from the airport, 45 minutes from Funchal.

A spacious loft, high in the village, with through the big glass sliding window and from the large terrace an extraordinary view on the coastal line , as far as S.Paul do mar in the distance and the atlantic waves. It is a perfect place to find relaxation in the sun. The interior is in good taste and comfortable. Jardim is a really beautifull coastal village, with no traffic at all, only steep narrow allies. Joe's Bar, near by, is good place for a drink and good food.

Unique stay in a place with crazy charm. The view, the good vibes of the place, the starry nights everything is there to spend a great holiday. thanks again Laurence

Possibly our best Airbnb experience to date. Super view from the terrace(!), very nice and peaceful town, and friendly cat. The only word of warning is that if you’re there on a Saturday night, bring earplugs as the music from the bar down the street went on until after 2am when we were there. Every other night it was just the sounds of crashing waves coming up from the beach lulling you to sleep. Recommended!

I will recommend this place to anyone. It is very well equipped and the terrasse has the most wonderful view. The village is a calm and relaxing place to stay. A car is necessary. It would be nice to have the possibility of hanging shirts and jackets somewhere, and also a place to dry wet towels. Otherwise the place just perfect. We will love to come back again.

You are looking for a sleepy village far from any Funchal tourism? Do you want to explore the entire west of Madeira north and south within 40 minutes by car? Do you want to experience and enjoy the most beautiful sunset from your own terrace? Then you are exactly right here! The apartment is located above the small village of Jardim do Mar. Means you have the best view of the village, the Atlantic and the chance of the most beautiful sunsets you can imagine. The terrace is a dream. The entire loft offers a lot of space for 2 people. The kitchen is properly equipped. The entire apartment is very clean and well maintained. The communication was perfect. Teresa, the house keeper, welcomes you hospitable at joes bar, accompanies you up to the apartment, explains you in simple sentences how the whole technology works etc. gives you a few tips on the surroundings and off you go ... I can highly recommend Frederico's Apartment and Jardim do Mar!

“Awesome”

Sandra and Cristina went above and beyond to make our stay at the Aqua Sea House exceptional. We loved every minute of our stay. They greeted us with cookies, madeira wine, and fresh banana's when we arrived. They provided us with maps (with restaurant suggestions) and Levada guide books to use during our stay which were very helpful. Madalena do Mar was a perfect place for us to relax and explore the rest of Madeira. We would definitely stay again! Take care! Best Regards, Megan and Stephen

Sandra and Cristina's house is very well equipped, perfectly maintained with a very Zen and cheerful decor. It is located between the pebble beach and the banana plantation - absolute charm. The bed is a bit narrow (140cm) but the sound of the waves rocks you at night :-). Sandra and Cristina welcomed us warmly and well informed about the region. I highly recommend this accommodation.

We had a lovely stay in Sandra's accommodation. There was clean and tidy and everything we needed from kitchen stuff etc.

Sandra and Christina are super nice. They came to discuss with us. We had little WoW touches. We felt that we were expected. Madalena do mar is paradise. We hear the waves inside the house it's so relaxing. Our return to Madeira will be at Sandra and Christina

Kitchenware and bathroom facilities are all fully equipped and you will probably live your life here. And it's a lovely place, clean and very comfortable. :)

We had a wonderful time and wish we could have stayed longer (or forever?). The location was beautiful and quiet, the home well-equipped with everything we needed. Clean and modern. I can't recommend Sandra's place enough!

Excellent experience and hospitality! The house is very stylish and clean. The nature and the village nearby are incredible and all about local life. Thank you very much, highly recommend!

We had a wonderful six days in this small apartment by the sea. Sandra and Cristina are very nice and helpful hosts. The apartment is modern and furnished with lovely details. It is very clean and has everything you need. Additional blankets for cool days are also available. There was even fresh fruit and traditional pastries at the reception. It is in a cul-de-sac with little traffic and is very quiet. We would love to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Cabana. Eva is a wonderful, very attentive host. The location is perfect for exploring the island and enjoying the sunny south coast.

This place is the bee's knees for someone who likes to make their own way and live a bit more like the locals. Although in the middle of Tabua you can sit on the terrace and watch the ocean in complete peace, without neighbours or other disturbances. Your own garage, barbecue and complimentary bananas push this place over the scale. We'll definitely be back!

Eva is a wonderful host and you immediately feel comfortable in the Banana Cabana. The accommodation is small, but has everything you need. The view from the balcony is incomparable! The location is ideal for exploring the island, as it is located approximately in the middle and the road to the north begins in the village. You need a car, otherwise it gets tiring quickly because it always goes up and down. We highly recommend the Banana Cabana!

The photos are not lying and we enjoyed our two weeks in the "Banana Cabana" over Christmas and New Year. You definitely need a car, but once you are covered with drinks and food (make sure you have a look beforehand at what is already available! We even had coffee, vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, toiletries and and and in the house) you just do nothing here for a few days. We were alone and yet there was an IMMEDIATE answer from Eva to every question (via WhatsApp). Drive the "acesso local", try restaurants where you stand in line or where a fire burns and drinks Poncha :-) We will be back!!!

Cosy, clean and well taken care off Nice balcony and very nice vieuw

Eva and João are incredibly friendly and hospitable hosts! The Banana Cabana is super super super cute place to stay with an incredible view and everything you need for a pleasant stay! It is the perfect combination of a cute little hippie house surrounded by palm trees and a modern accommodation in terms of cleanliness and facilities. A true gem and the ultimate place to relax!

The banana cabana is quite small, but very lovely place with everything you would need during your stay, with great ocean view. Eva, the host, is very friendly, responsive and helpful. Would recommend the stay.

The Banana Cabana is a wonderful small and cozy cottage with great views. We felt very comfortable. The reception by Eva & João was uncomplicated and warm! In addition, the accommodation is very well located, you can easily reach everything.

This apartment is a dream. The view from the bed and from the roof terrace is second to none. We would come back anytime!

I had the chance to stay a few days at Uni Air and I had a stay that I will remember for a long time: location at the end of the entirely pedestrian and charming village of Jardim Do Mar, breathtaking view of the sea and the cliffs with a exceptional rooftop, the pretty studio is exceptionally clean and Carlos was an absolutely charming and responsive host. I will come back, for sure!

What a dream place with the best view we could have asked for. We felt so comfortable and would book Uni Air again at any time! Jardim do mar is definitely a “place to be” in Madeira!

Absolutely comfy, perfekt stay to enjoy the view and nature. Since there is just a small alley to the houses you can perfectly enjoy the silence and the sound of the waves. A lot of cool spots like Levada- and hiking walks or a farmer- markets are just a few minutes by car. Easy and clear check in and out rules and space for oneself during the stay.

We couldn’t be happier with our stay at Uni Air! It was spotless, cozy, and absolutely beautiful. The views are breathtaking (trust me you won’t want to leave). The location is in a very quiet, cozy little beach town with some great local spots. We were able to check in early and Antonio was super quick to respond. We definitely hope to come back one day!

Great place: clean, functional, stylish. The view is breathtaking! It's a good location for hiking (a relatively easy route towards Prazeres) and everyone in Jardim do Mar is warm and welcoming, host included.

Excellent experience, located in a quiet area with amazing sea views. I recommend!

Lovely studio apartment. Beautiful view over the sea but also felt very private. Quiet beautiful village but not a lot of choice of restaurant. Good spot from which to explore island but you really need a car. Also bring luggage you can carry (not pull along) the paths to apartment are beautiful but tiled and hilly! This is a lovely apartment in a lovely place.

Really beautiful place with a lot of privacy!

We were made very welcome by Nuno. The place is beautiful, flowery, everything is perfect! Great location for visiting the island. We had a nice sunny week, which is good in February ...

If you are looking for a nice place, private and fantastic views. Then you have found it now. Spent a week in the Yurth, but spent much longer. Delicious

What more can be said about this lovely place? Our stay was in January and I was a bit worried about being cold at night. A heater was provided but turned out it was not needed. We loved having our own separate space and kitchen, but also being able to join the common areas to chat with other travellers. Nuno was an excellent host and we appreciated all he did for us.

Wow wow wow! We fell in love with this place. Don’t hesitate - book it now!! Wish we’d been able to stay for longer, I wasn’t ready to leave! Will be back.

The stay at Roberto’s Airbnb was wonderful. Totally peaceful place and great to just relax and to start your daily tour to different locations on the island.

Truly breath-taking. Do not hesitate to book. If you opt to walk everywhere as we did, be aware there are dogs on the walk that will bark but they are harmless. Just either ignore them or crouch down so they know you are not a threat. They may follow you back but it's part of the charm! The centre of Ponta do sol is only 20 mins away and the walk is lovely (even in the dark) - the stars... are just... you'll see.

A small paradise above the ocean.

Marlize, thank you so much for such a warm welcome! You and your family are really nice and kind people, you lightened up my short trip to Madeira! Your apartment is so nice, so many beautiful details, it is absolutely clear you have put all your soul in it! Bravo! Wish you all the best! Kristina

Yes

Nice, clean room with a mega view of the city. Marlize is a very kind and warm woman. For animal lovers: The dog is always happy when someone comes :) Can only recommend this place!

It was one of our best experiences with Airbnb so far. Marlize is a super host for a reason. She and her family received us as one of their own and for not a single moment we’ve felt as strangers in their house. Very welcoming and warm-hearted. Besides that we had from very friendly chats to very long conversations about philosophy, spirituality and so on together, which made this experience unique. The room was very cozy, spacious and good furnished. The balcony was one of highlights. In the morning we woke up to the sounds of singing birds and the warmth of the rising sun. Definitely recommended!

I was SO FORTUNATE to choose Marlize’s Airbnb and stay with her very kind and hospitable family in their fabulous home. Marlize is a SUPER,SUPER HOST and I highly recommend her home with stunning views and sunrises from the guests bedroom and balcony in an idyllic setting. I would like to thank Marlize and her family for making my stay so memorable and for such interesting conversations over delicious breakfasts. Wishing Marlize and family the best of health and happiness in the years ahead. With fondest memories and wishes, Annette :-)

Marlize and Cory are such nice hosts! They made us feel at home, sharing some excellent tips, nice stories and great food. They really welcomed us in their family. The room is spacious and sparkling clean, with a fantastic view from the balcony. We wish we could have stayed longer!

It is just as everybody said, a lovely family who make you feel at home and a charming house they built themselves. Marlize's husband, Corin will happily talk to you about Brazil, architecture, Indian literature and probably anything else as well! It meant breakfast lasted a long time but what a happy time it was. I enjoyed having my own balcony and spent many hours there relaxing and enjoying the view. The location is away from the tourist areas, I was happy just to stay nearby and walk to take the bus to nearby villages. At a nearby cafe, I got two little cakes and a coffee for 1.80 euros, really local prices! Just walking along the local streets was breathtaking, you don't have to go anywhere special or go on an organised walk. If you want to see a lot of places, I would recommend having a car as I found the buses a bit complicated to use, make sure you are well-prepared with your route number and return location before you set out - plus they are very slow on the tight, twisty roads. But it was all part of the experience as the local people and bus drivers were very helpful. Marlize was extra kind on check-out day when my flight was cancelled and I had to quickly arrange a new one which was very stressful.

The Marlize's place is full of character and design with such good taste. You will stay in a spacious room, comfortable bed, precious views from your window and little terrace. Everything is clean and you have all what you need for you stay. Breakfast is included, with nice selection of choice, in a warm living room. Location is perfect for people that wants to see all points of the island. Very quick access to the motorway (via rapida) to drive any place. The place is so quiet and so is the neighbourhood. The Marlize's hospitality is outstanding. She will make you feel very welcome as she really enjoys to interact with the guests.

We really enjoyed our vacation at Casa da Vereda. The view from the terrace is beautiful. The apartment is well furnished with everything you need. The garden is great. The hosts super nice - just a great place for relaxing days in Madeira!

We really enjoyed it, a little paradise! Many thanks to Ana and Fabrice for the great hospitality. A special plus for the beautiful herb garden, which we used every day. Everything was also available in the house: well-equipped kitchen with various coffee machines, juicer etc. Books, guides, games, wine and coffee at a fair price. We will highly recommend Casas da Vereda.

We had a great stay at Casas da Vereda. I would highly recommend this beautiful place!

Great place, everything very tasteful and super clean, well equipped, friendly hosts, great view, beautiful garden ... we would come back in a heartbeat!

Casas da Vereda is a great place to stay. We have enjoyed our stay. Ana and Fabrice are perfect hosts. The house offered us the comfort and equipment we hoped for and was exactly as described. We liked the view of the sea, the beautifully landscaped garden with pool and herb garden the best. We can recommend this property with a clear conscience and would come back here anytime when we are in Madeira. Casas da Vereda is a great place to stay. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Far exceeded expectations. View and location are great. We had poor weather yet the AirB&B made the trip to Madeira an amazing one

If you are lucky enough to stay here, you will not be disappointed! Beautiful view, extremely clean and well thought out details & amenities. Our welcome tea with herbs from the garden was such a thoughtful touch. Communication before and after booking was very prompt. While located in a quieter part of the island then Funchal, we still felt we had lots close at hand...grocery store right across the street was very handy but a full grocery with fresh seafood was just 5 minutes down the road into Calheta. A few restaurants in close by Jardim do Mar and Paulo Do Mar (highly recommend Maktub Pub) The Pukiki tiki bar is just a short walk away and a MUST do if looking for an amazing cocktail and great hospitality from owners Martin and Carla. We feel very lucky for such a great experience on our trip with a stay at Casas Da Vereda's.

Fantastic views, very central location to do excursions all over the Island, supermarket nearby, very nice pool, just a perfect place to enjoy your holidays.

Casa da Muda is one of the loveliest places we have stayed. So calm and tranquil, and the views and location are so beautiful. We loved the eggs from the chickens and the pool, and Luis is the most thoughtful, caring and generous host. On arrival we had bread and milk and fruit, yoghurt, cakes etc which was so lovely. Unfortunately during our stay there was sadly a big forest fire in the vicinity. Luis was so reassuring and came to see us and offered us his apartment in Camara do Lobos instead and we moved there for the rest of our holiday (which was just as delightful but different) and maintained contact with us the whole time to check we were okay. Cannot recommend Luis highly enough and we would love to come back to Madeira and Casa da Muda again one day.

Best AirBnb experience we’d tried! Such a nice place, view and everything. Very beautiful view to the Atlantic Ocean, a warm welcome with eggs, yoghurt, bread etc. Very cosy with the hens where we had our daily eggs from. All the basic things in the kitchen. And the staff did get us a baby bed for our baby - thank you so much!

Perfect little getaway in Madeira! So peaceful and quiet, just what we needed. Communication was great from the start and when our flight was delayed they waited until midnight at the property for us and even had some snacks waiting, very thoughtful :) I would say you would definitely need a car just as not much in walking distance, but beautiful place! Thank you!

Great cozy place. Lovely setting. Very thoughtful host. A nice place to get away from it all.

For us it has been a perfect stay at casa da muda. If you are looking for a place to relax and to enjoy the silence of the nature, this little house with an unbelievable cosy atmosphere is the right choice. Nothing else to add to the feedback of the prior guests :-) Only keep in mind, that the next bigger supermarket is about 30min car drive away - so sometimes you need to plan ahead. Simply do your groceries when returning from trips you did in the eastern part of Madeira.

La Casa da Muda is truly the perfect place to be on holidays! We went there for a week as a couple and we were litterarly amazed by the property... The house is full of comfort, and Sandra had a lot of attentions at our arrival (basket of fruits, fresh eggs, butter and bread, Madeira wine, donuts...), it was a very warm welcoming! The location is as ideal to go hikking as is it to go to the beach. Nevertheless, you also can just chill at home. The pool has a stunning view on the ocean, and the garden is also full of surprises... You can wake up and pick up fresh eggs from the henhouse, gather fresh mint and fruits and lay out on the deckchairs or the hamac! So, thank you for everything ! We highly recommand this experience :-)

A very big thank you for the welcome and the many attentions. The garden is beautiful and really nice with the pool and the ocean view. The cottage is quiet, functional and nicely decorated. This place contributed greatly to the success of our stay on Madeira Island. Address to recommend.

Luis little house including the garden and swimming pool was just marvelous. I do not have to repeat all the other positive feedback, but this was one of the best AirBnB apartment we ever had.

Jose’s house is in an amazing spot! Beautiful views from all the windows. There’s an amazing trails that goes around the mountain to next little village with breathtaking views. It’s a bit in the middle of nowhere so maybe best if you have a car. Saying that I didn’t and I managed to get a direct bus to Funchal (number 103) it’s over 2 hours but it’s like taking a tour bus as goes all around the coast and 1300 meters up over the mountains. Everything was super clean and had everything you’d need. The little resturant next door does really nice food and the lady is lovely. A beautiful an non touristic part of Madeira.

Beautiful accomodation in the north of Madeira. One of my best airbnb stays ever! The view from the house is simply incredible, nature lovers will certainly love it. We received a nice hospitality and truly loved the fireplace in the house. Jose is a great host, his stay is unique and strongly recommended.

the location is amazing, this beats any hotel you could ever book. Truly beatiful

Where do we start. Well the view ,you’ll see that first. Magnificent sea views looking west along the ancient Caminho Real #23 along the cliff face. In summer you’ll really enjoy sitting on the terrace ,watching the sun go down. The villa is small but cosy. Two full bathrooms , a good kitchen , flat screen TV ( no idea if it works , we never turned it on. Too much else to see and do ). Decent WiFi. Going upstairs , don’t bump your head. First bedroom has three singles , master bedroom has a queen and a single. Both have a door leading to a small balcony ( for one chair ) to enjoy the view over the vineyards and sea cliffs. Free parking right at the O Arco restaurant, take the green gate to the left to walk around to the villa. We love the restaurant,ate there any time we were too lazy to cook. Foods good , prices are very reasonable. This villa is centrally located on the north coast so very handy for trips to any of the levadas, villages or walks on the north side. That said , it’s only a 45 minute drive to the south side for day trips. We prefer the north side as the scenery is better and it’s cooler in summer. We found the villa spotlessly clean. Jose was very helpful when needed. Book with confidence. It’s a lovely place at a great price.

Great place for secluded relaxation. A beautiful view of the ocean, next to a restaurant that does not interfere, but adds service. Fully equipped apartments. Near a walking trail over the ocean. At night, only the sound of the ocean and the full sky of stars. I recommend if you want peace and solitude.

Great house in a quiet beautiful place. You can’t name it completely secluded - there is a restaurant nearby, but this does not interfere at all. An ideal place to relax away from the hustle and bustle. We slept with an open window, under the sound of the ocean sleeps wonderfully, no extraneous sounds are heard. The house is small, six in it will be a bit crowded, but for four it’s quite good. There are two bedrooms in the house, one of them is a walk-through. The owner is very hospitable, quickly responds to all requests. There is a small shop in the village where the house is located, but the nearest supermarkets are relatively far away - about 20 minutes by car. In my opinion, you can’t do without a car at all. We rested together for two weeks. We do not regret the choice, we are very glad that we stayed here, we were very pleased.

we loved the north coast .. and this house is a gem that overlooks a portion of the ocean that seems only for you! the photos don't really make the idea of ​​the place .. live is better! the bar and restaurant (with the beautiful ocean view terrace) are another big plus!

Perfect home, accommodation at the top, do not hesitate, go there with your eyes closed. Stay in peace, superb sight on the ocean, the puffins will be with the appointment. We will be glad to come back.

Fantastic location. Right on the coast and Close to local supermarkets, restaurants and malls. Wonderful views from the balcony and flat comes equipped with everything you need and then some! Host is very thoughtful and hospitable. Really helped us out when our outbound flight was cancelled at the last minute.

Amazing apartment and views from the balcony both during the day and the night were awesome. The public areas are in need of a serious upgrade. The security at the rear of the apartment block is non existent, anybody could gain access, which made the front door swipe key system useless. Every lounger around the pool was dirty and broken. Do check with the host if there is any building work going on. I was only informed on arrival that there was extensive work going on in an apartment on the 5th floor, which started from 9am to 6pm. The meant lounging around the pool during the stay was untenable. I am sure the host will do their best to rectify these issues.

Nice place in a good location, close to sea front. I stayed in winter, so too chilly to hang out on the balcony in the evening, but would be great in warmer months. No barking dogs, which can be an issue for some places in more residential locations. No traffic noise. 10 minute walk to supermarket, 30 minute walk to Funchal or 5 minute walk to bus / Aerobus stop. Hosts extremely helpful.

The apartment is clean, comfortable and well equipped - you can prepare meals if you don't want to eat out, but there are numerous restaurants nearby. There are shops nearby as well, and frequent buses into the city centre along Estrada Monumental. There is of course that great view from the balcony - it's a real pleasure to watch and listen to the sea from there! Ligia and Johnny are great hosts - always helpful, with lots of local knowlege and quick to respond to any request. I can thoroughly recomment their apartment, whether for a short or longer stay on Madeira. :-)

This is one of the best places I’ve stayed with AirBnB. The pictures are super accurate and the property is really great: close to everything, with great restaurants and the mall super close by. And the view! What a view, sunrise spectacular every morning. On top of that Ligia was a great host, attentive to every detail and always present and responsive. Will definitely come back.

Very nice and clean apartment with everything you need and a stunning view is included:) Ligia was really friendly and helpful, got some great tips from her. Thanks again:)

Very friendly host, top apartment especially the view was amazing. Totally recommendable for a great vacation!

The apartment was very clean and well equipped, and the location was excellent - the seaview was outstanding, and the access to shops and buses was also very good. You can easily get into the centre of Funchal. If we come back to Madeira, we will certainly book here again.

Had a great stay at Isabel’s place. She was so nice and met us when we arrived. Isabel made sure we were comfortable during our stay. The space was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Was walking distance to old town and city center. Would highly recommend!

Cheerful decor, clean and well-equipped apartment in pleasant residential area within easy reach of all the main city sights and seafront. Isabel is a friendly and helpful host. Be aware that Funchal is hilly - if you have luggage coming from the airport it is a tiring climb up the hill from the bus stop, may be wiser to get a taxi.

The apartment is in a nice neighbourhood and central to most amenities . Within walking distance of Funchal centre. Very clean apartment . Isabel was a very warm and friendly host. Prompt responses to messages and so helpful with tips .

Isabel is so warm, lovely and helpful. I can only recommend her flat, and I would happily return.

Location very well located. Very complete apartment, and if ever a detail is missing, Isabel is immediately available to help. In addition, she knows the island very well and therefore gives good advice to make the stay pleasant. Excellent value.

I will not have to tell you that my stay at Isabelle has gone marvelously well, I'm afraid of no more space available! I usually travel but frankly his home deserves a detour! All the best to you ...

Of all the Airbnb experience I've had, this one takes the cake. Our host was kind, thoughtful, responsive, and helpful beyond what was required. She gave us everything we needed for a comfortable stay and then helped us out with transportation suggestions and local tips on food and entertainment. In addition, she even had personal samples of Portuguese wine for us to try when we got there. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Thank you for treating us like family!

Wonderful place! Very kind owner! Like it a lot!

Apartment as described, in a very good location - 5 minutes walk to Formosa Beach - exit by the pool gate. The apartment complex is very well maintained. Clean pool, jacuzzi, sauna, fitness room

We had a great stay in Madeira. Nuno was helpful. Near a stop for the airport-buses. Clean and a great pool and lovely restaurants nearby. We had some issues with the gas stove but we manage to make one part to work.

Nuno is a great and friendly guy. The Appartement is really nice and the Location perfect.

It is a nice place with a good location. There is everything what you need. Pool is amazing but only issue was that the bed is quite stiff. We had also problem with communication at the end. We did not know what to do with the keys... But I would recommend this place 😊

Apparent looks better in real life then it does in the photos and the infinity pool and Jacuzzi were also great. Definitely an A+ place to stay.

We spent a week in this apartment. We are really satisfied. It is very well located for visiting the whole island and close to shops. The view of the pool is beautiful and perfectly matches the photos. The apartment is well equipped. We thank Nuno for his welcome. We recommend 100%

Amazing location and clean modern apartment. Would definitely choose again

PT (for EN see below): We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Formosa: the apartment is nice and well equipped, the pool and jacuzzy were perfect after our mountain walks and along the levadas, and we had a clear communication with Nuno during the week we spent there. when it was needed. The apartment is located near shops, restaurants and a bus stop, and within walking distance, more restaurants can be found on the way to Funchal. Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint with incredible views of Funchal is just 1 km away, while the beautiful Câmara de Lobos can be reached by car in just 10 minutes. We love Madeira and our stay at Nuno's apartment!

The viewpoint Pico dos Barcelos with an amazing view of Funchal is only 1 km away while the beautiful Camara de Lobos can be reached by car in only 10 minutes. We loved Madeira and we loved our stay in Nuno's apartment!

Great place!!!

Superbly designed and luxury accommodation. This has to be one of the best locations we have stayed anywhere in the world. Joe was the perfect host , communicating punctually and personally meeting us to escort us to the cottage. He then gave us a plethora of very useful information about the local area and Madeira. Fantastic stay would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic few days in Joe's apartment. The apartment itself was perfect, with the stunning views and amazing setting. The village had a friendly feel about it, and Joes tips were all used. A great base to explore and walk , and 45 mins from the capital.

The location of the accommodation is overwhelmingly beautiful - the endlessly wide view from the terrace over the turquoise Atlantic, its salty taste in the air, the powerful surf and the direct connection to this nature were just right for us - we felt and lived in rhythm of the waves. The house is very well equipped and gave us everything we needed for a relaxing holiday.

We have stayed in many beautiful accommodations in many locations, but Joe's accommodation really stands out. For us it is perfect in every way. The house is modern, stylish and very well equipped. The location directly above the sea is sensational. We also really liked the privacy. There are no neighbors on the right and left. The small town itself also has a lot of atmosphere. Joe warmly welcomed us. The overall package of host, house, location and location is outstanding for my taste.

Joe's warm welcome immerses you directly in the peaceful atmosphere of this charming village, when the accommodation is perfect in every way with its excellent equipment (nothing is missing either in the kitchen or in the bathroom with a very large number of towels ... thank you to Joe for his many attentions !!), his view and his exceptional location. Our stay there was more than perfect !! We recommend it with your eyes closed ... to the sound of the waves !!

We had a great stay and would highly recommend this accommodation. The sound and the view of the ocean is spectacular. Joe was very responsive and helpful. We accidentally left some cash and documents in one of the bedside drawers, which Joe has kindly posted back to us.

We spent 10 days in that unique and excitingly located home in Madeira and really enjoyed our time there. Joe is a very friendly and open-minded host. He even arranged some additional kitchen items for us, which shows a great sense of hospitality. Jardim do Mar is a cute little village with now car traffic inside, which makes it more relaxed than other places. We can definitely recommend this place for a holiday!

Staying here was such a cool experience. If you get the chance, you definitely should!! The “tent” is fully equipped and has more amenities than I expected. The view is insane and the bed is quite comfy. Note that there is another tent next door, but there are privacy screens and we were never bothered by the other guests. Unique experience that’s at a great value!!

Great accommodation to get away from the hustle & bustle of fast paced living. The tent gave you the best feels of getting back to nature but with maximum comfort. The bed was comfy & with lots of warm blankets, the shower & bathroom were excellent; the kitchen was great - we cooked nearly all of our meals. We stayed in March & easily heated the tent up at night with the heater provided & by cooking. The view is exceptional! You’re a stone’s throw from the cable car which takes you down to a beautiful coast line to explore. We explored the entire island via car using the tent as a perfect location to set up base. Seriously one of our favourite accoms in all our travels. It was windy at night but it added to the camping experience & we got used to it easily. The tent is incredibly sturdy & safe - zero danger of it blowing away despite how the wind might make it sound. Also, Albert kindly supplied earplugs just in case :) he was an amazing host that gives you A LOT of incredible local tips & is always happy to help in his kind friendly manner (we loved how full of smiles & friendly local people were). You’re really missing out if you don’t stay here.

We booked the accommodation twice within 1 week, simply wonderful. You don't really notice that you live in a tent. In the best weather we could sit on the terrace until late in the evening, it was calm and mild, perfect for people who like to spend time in nature.

Magical spot with breathtaking views. Very comfortable and spacious inside. Can be chilly at night but lots of blankets and a heater so never a problem. Nice little cafe next door and shops 15 minutes away. Albert very welcoming and helpful. The cable car is wonderful!

Amazing, just amazing. Best place on the island, not to be missed! Albert created a unique place which is even better than the photos promise. There is a lot of space in the tent and it is extremely comfortable and stylish. Really luxurious!

A wonderful place to stay with all the accessories you need for an uncomplicated vacation. Fantastically beautiful nature, a lovingly prepared accommodation, a very friendly host, what more could you want ... an absolute recommendation!

A fantastic getaway! Even though it was chilly and windy we really enjoyed the evening view in the deck. The tent is very comfortable as is the bed. It was a stormy night but we felt very safe!

We stayed one night in the tent and we loved it! It was extremely special. The tent is super nicely prepared and offers a lot of comfort. The view is great and at night you can listen to the sea and the waves. You won't find something like this again. Albert provided ubs with great tips for trips and restaurants. We recommend the accommodation.
