Villa vacation rentals in São Martinho

We (2 couples sharing) recently stayed in Duarte’s lovely home. Duarte met us on the road where we parked our rental car and helped carry our luggage to the house, which was greatly appreciated, as it’s a bit of a trek along an uneven paved walkway with some stairs, down to the house. However it’s well worth the effort, as the unobstructed view of the ocean from the patio and every room in the house is absolutely stunning! The house is well equipped to prepare meals, lounge on the patio, and sleeps were sound and very comfortable in this peaceful setting. Duarte offered to help return our luggage up the walkway to the car but we planned ahead and took the largest bags a day ahead of checkout. Duarte is friendly and helpful and generous with his fresh eggs and locally grown bananas. Highly recommend this beautiful home!

The stunning villa overlooks the east facing mount of Calheta to the sea and has gorgeous sunsets! The place is impeccably clean and tastefully decorated. To have a pool to relax in after a day exploring, watching the sunset is a memory I will revere!

We were fully satisfied with our stay. The place was exclusive, very nicely decorated and exactly as described. Sonia is particularly noteworthy, she was always helpful, friendly and always available. We felt completely comfortable. A small downside was the many mosquitoes at night, which clouded the stay a bit. Maybe mosquito nets or other protective measures could help. Nevertheless, we would absolutely recommend the accommodation and would be happy to come back.

It was a fantastic place to stay with a great view from the balcony! Thank you for having us!

We had a fantastic time on the island. In addition to the nature that makes Madeira so fascinating, we were also able to spend some very relaxing days in our accommodation. Everything was just like in the pictures, so we could start our vacation with a great feeling. The accommodation was modern, clean and very luxurious with a pool and the number of rooms, each with its own bathroom. And who wouldn't want to wake up with a view of the sea? Wonderful. Henrique was also easy to contact if we had any questions and check-in with the key box was very simple. There is a small supermarket in this small town if you need anything. Otherwise, Calheta is not far away with larger shopping facilities. There are a few restaurants within walking distance of the accommodation, although the accommodation with its large kitchen and outdoor grill is of course also perfect for a meal. Thank you for a wonderful time in Madeira, we'd love to come back!

Our stay was really nice. The place corresponded exactly to the description and photos. Julien was a very nice communicative host who gave good tips for the island. The apartment is spacious, clean and well equipped. The road to the property is quite steep. You should therefore rent a suitable car. There is a construction site near the property, which can occasionally be heard. However, this did not significantly disrupt our stay, as we were traveling during the day. We can only recommend the place.

Juan is a responsive and friendly host, and the property is exactly as described. The location is near perfect for travelling around the island (if you're hiring a car), as it's pretty central, and the views from the garden are quite nice too. Inside the property, it's very clean, tidy and has everything you need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The garden is spacious with many seating options, making breakfast and dinner time (when eating at the Airbnb) much more pleasurable. I would recommend to others, and may return in the future.

Lovely house. Complete and lots of privacy. No amenities within walking distance. No problem for us, but something to keep in mind. The house is also high, which can save a few degrees. If you are staying here, please remember to go for dinner at the Sunshine Pub&Grill. Highly recommended, see also reviews on Google.

We absolutely loved our stay in Madeira! The property was incredibly clean—honestly one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed. Everything was spotless and so well maintained. The welcome gifts were such a thoughtful touch—local produce that gave us a warm introduction to the island. The house had everything we needed, from great coffee to handy extras like Tupperware, which made day trips really convenient. The sunsets from the property were absolutely stunning—something we looked forward to every evening. The location was great for accessing shops and restaurants nearby, but we’d definitely recommend having a car to explore more of the island comfortably. All in all, a fantastic stay. We’d return in a heartbeat!

Lovely clean villa with a great pool. Communication with the host was easy. Other reviewers have suggested that nearby roads were noisy - we didn't find this a problem. Is a little out of the centre of funchal but easily accessible by bus or taxi. Only concern was the €500 cash deposit requested on arrival. This is in the advert and we got it all back without a problem but we were nervous handing over so much cash outside the Airbnb platform. I have asked Airbnb to double check if this is within their website rules.

Karine and her family have been super sweet and helpful. We were a family of 6 spanning several generations, and the house is perfect for this. Highly recommended. Everything was new and worked flawlessly. Best recommendations from Kenneth.

The house is extremely well located, in a quiet area with a stunning sea view. It is the ideal place to rest and enjoy the scenery. The house is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and worry-free stay. It was a great experience — I highly recommend it!

Fantastic views, really quiet but easy to get to places. Great villa, would be happy to stay again when next in beautiful Madeira

Beautiful, clean, open and inviting home! Jeanne and her family were wonderful hosts! Quick and easy trip into Funchal but so nice to have the privacy! Thank you so much!!

One of the best I’ve ever stayed at. The place was so spacious and open, yet felt like at home and cozy. Everything we needed was readily available/ easily accessible. The home is perched up in Ponta do Sol, so the view is of the homes below, and then the drop off to the ocean. Private pool was clean and big enough for our family of 7. Private parking is a gamechanger anywhere in Portugal, and you have a whole driveway which fit our enormous van. Lots of good hikes in every direction so you never feel like you’re driving too much, everything is about 40 minutes from this location, even the other side of the island. Host was so great responsive despite the hour difference from where she is located. Thank you so much for our stay we loved it.

This is how AirBNB should be. The house is stacked with everything. How often are you in an Airbnb and they only have 6 plates? Here they have 20+, they have Great knives, tons of kitchenware, enough toilet paper, plenty of dishwasher tabs and also cleaner for the washing machine. Things you normally expect but somehow got lost in the making money machine Airbnb is now. Not here!! A absolute crazy welcome basket (have not had such a big one ever), friendly crew and absolute amazing place - can only recommend

Really lovely accommodation with great views. The host was very responsive and was super helpful when we had a bit of an emergency. Highly recommended.

Beautiful and very secluded place. The view from the house is amazing & the garden was so beautiful to relax in. The house itself was great. Kitchen wasn’t huge but we made it work - only difficulty was opening the oven door and getting stuff out when it’s so close to the fridge. The road up to the place was very steep and winding, but we managed fine in our car rental. It was tricky parking on the drive so we opted to park across the road instead which was absolutely fine. The home isn’t in walking distance to anything but it was nice to have dinner and the evening at the Airbnb, to enjoy the space :) Would defo stay here again.

We had a very nice stay. Our hosts were very attentive and surprised us with great little things. Our little parking problem in the garage was solved immediately. Great roof terrace with pool view of the sea. Super clean and good beds!

Where to begin with Arbor Villa? I'll start by saying that it surpassed all our expectations and was far and away the best AirBnb stay we have ever experienced. About the home - It is stunning , luxurious, and welcoming with all the comforts of home. The design is impeccable. Emma and the architect/designers thought of everything and there was no detail overlooked. The materials, color palettes, furnishings, art and decoration combined with the beautiful setting in Campanario create an experience that is in harmony with nature and create a serene and relaxing environment. After long days of exploring the island and hiking the PR's it was so wonderful to come home to this beautiful sanctuary. And the view - Breathtaking. Then there's Emma, our superb host. Her care and attention to detail is second to none. She was forthcoming with excellent recommendations and accommodated our requests to make our stay even more special. She has elevated the AirBnb experience. Highly recommend!

We had wonderful days at the property and would book them again anytime. There was everything you needed and very clean.

We had the most amazing stay, I'll be honest when we booked this we felt it was a bit to good to be true and was expecting it to not look as good as the photos...but wow the photos don't do it justice. The views were breathtaking, our villa was completely private and so peaceful. We loved watching the sunset every night and waking up to the view of the ocean from our bed in the morning. There's lots of really pretty wildlife to see too. I would definitely recommend renting a car to get around because it is out in the mountains. Sofia was a really good host, she was at the property when we arrived, really lovely and helpful. She sent lots of recommendation to us for places to explore and places to eat. We'd spent 3 days in Funchal before travelling out to the mountains. This Airbnb made our trip to Madeira so so special.

Hands down one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. The property was spotless and the view is unreal. Incredibly peaceful and great for a recharge. A rental car is properly your best bet for getting around the area, although you can get lucky and find Ubers occasionally. There is a parking spot available with a gate to enclose the property. That said, the area is incredibly safe and tranquil. Henrique was incredibly responsive, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, an amazing time. I highly recommend the place to anyone coming to Madeira.
