Villas Madalena - Excellent 1-bedroom house with Sea View and Wi-Fi

Anna LenaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Paulo‘s AirBnB was amazing! The accommodation is big and has a nice view not only onto the airport but also the banana plantage and lots of beautiful flowers planted all around the property! It was super clean and tidy, lots of space to park your rental car and there even is a private gym and laundry room. We were very pleased with our stay and would love to come back here during our next trip! Obrigado!

Endemic Yurt - EcoGlamping in a Hidden Paradise

MargaretaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is truly an amazing place! We celebrated my husband’s 75th birthday and your place was a total surprise for him. He loved everything, the personalized welcome sign in Swedish, the wonderful accomodation, the fantastic views, the total calm and of course the cat Simba. We would live to come back!

Casa da Betty - luxurious w/aircondition

Isak IziRating, 5 stars2 months ago
It has been sometime since I stayed in a real home-y and cosy house like Betty's. Our whole group (two families with small children ) was very pleasantly surprised by this beautifully decorated home. There were many essentials as well as some offerings by the host readily available. The location(although not very close to the historic center) is fantastic as it is possible to walk to some famous rock pools and a beach, as well as many restaurants, a mall and a supermarket. Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.

Pebble Beach House- Casa da Fajã

Huey YuinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Beautiful house. The driveway is easy to miss if you're not paying close attention the first time. Well equipped kitchen. Next to a walking trail by the sea. Well situated to drive to other attractions around the island. Fanal forest, P Moniz, Santana, PR16, were not far away.

Patio da Achada View Apartment

JackieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Raquel’s place was absolutely impeccable. After five nights of hopping between different beds, my friend and I felt so lucky to land here for three restful nights — exactly what we needed. The space had everything we could have asked for and more. The check-in process was super easy, and Raquel had everything clearly laid out with thoughtful instructions. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us — it truly felt like a breath of fresh air.

Sofia's Place

CarolineRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Sofia met us at the square upon arrival in Jardim do Mar and walked us to the house. She showed us where everything was and made sure we were well settled. We loved that the kitchen was well equipped for real cooking! We enjoyed meals on the beautiful patio. We felt extremely safe in the area. Our 7 year old daughter could walk to our friends' home around the corner (we would never let her do that at home). The beds were comfortable and towels were well stocked. We also loved having a washing machine and clothes line. We would definitely stay there next time we visit our friends!

Stonelovers® (Heated Pool Optional) - Unit3

PetraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The holiday in Madeira was unforgettable, not least because of the great apartment in the Woodloversvilla! Jardim do Mar is a beautiful place in the southwest with very good gastronomy, quietly located with access to the sea. From there, we had a good starting point to explore the island with its diverse possibilities! In the evening we enjoyed the great atmosphere at the house! We also liked Ruben and Lúcio's sustainable concept very much! Madeira and the Woodlovers are highly recommended and always worth a trip! Petra and Alex

Atlantic Ocean View Apartment INFINITE POOL

ChristieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We are glad we booked at this spot! The balcony was wonderful to have and everything was clean. What stood out the most was our very responsive host making sure we got all checked in even while her car was broken down on the side of the road! Despite the emergency, she responded to all our messages promptly and helped us check in. I was extra grateful when I woke up extremely sick from some bad fruit the night before and we were allowed a late check out until I recovered! We even left one of our passports at check out and she made sure the staff kept it safe for us. Very helpful owners, would recommend.

We really enjoyed the accommodation! (family of 6 people) This one is well located, a beautiful view, very peaceful and private place. It is very well equipped, heated pool (for €30/day), barbecue available, very spacious and clean. Which makes it a great value. We recommend it!

New dream luxury appartment in the Madeira Palace.

OliviaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Can’t recommend enough. Clean, fantastic space, great location. Marina really helpful and always responsive. Well equipped kitchen with everything for meals in but equally a 10 minute drive into Funchal. The view from the apartment is beautiful and the location means everything is easily accessible. Supermarket across the road. We didn’t hire a car because the location was so great.

Secluded Sunset Villa on Cliff & 180° Ocean Views

VictoriaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay at Rui's home in Faja Da Ovelha was beyond our expectations. If you are looking for a more secluded stay with views of your own this is the place. It's located not far from various hikes and you are just a small drive from areas like Sexial, natural pools, and the black sand beach. The cat was a much welcomed friend during our stay, we looked forward to seeing her each morning. We actually eloped during this stay right in the lower garden of the Airbnb, it was such a special day with a stunning backdrop. Rui was so kind to allow us to be able to do this and even brought the gardeners a few days before so everything was pristine. If you are thinking about booking ...do it...you won't regret it.

Dhamma Guest House

AngelinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This Airbnb was probably one of my favourite I’ve stayed at. The view of the Atlantic Ocean from the guesthouse is incredible, the house was stocked with everything you could possibly need and super clean. I felt at home and Joana was always responsive if I needed anything. The location was perfect for me (definitely need a car to travel around the island). The pictures don’t do the property justice.

Stunning Ocean View Apartment

KristenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay in Antonio’s apartment. It was extremely clean and spacious and had everything we needed and then some. It even had a parking garage for our car. I appreciated that Antonio provided plenty of coffee, soap, shampoo and even laundry detergent. That was really nice and convenient. I loved sitting on the deck overlooking the gorgeous ocean view drinking my coffee or sipping a glass of wine. It was so relaxing! I highly recommend booking Antonio’s place. He is a superb, kind host and will go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and happy.

Scott’s place is a great place, not only because the back porch gave an EXCELLENT view, but there was a bus stop right outside the gate! Waking up and coming back to the gorgeous ocean view made our stay worth every penny!

Casa da Rocha

MilesRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Absolutely loved our stay here for the week! We loved the ability to walk into town and grab food at any time. We found a number of great restaurants! We also loved being within the energy of the town of Camara De Lobos. It was very warm, welcoming, and vibrant. We loved the home and felt it was clean, beautiful, and the perfect opportunity to slow down life and enjoy the sound of the ocean. The breeze was able to keep us cool (mid February visit for us), the sound of the ocean helped us drift off peacefully, and we enjoyed the opportunity to lounge in the sun on the many decks available. Parking was simple and free right around the house. We had very prompt communication and felt very supported. Overall the location was a great spot to adventure to the rest of the island. If we ever return to Madeira this is where we will be staying!
