Sunset Living Room Apartment

AndreaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We felt completely comfortable in Ana's apartment. The apartment is very spacious, nicely decorated, super equipped and very clean. Ana greeted us in a very friendly way and provided us with all the important information. She was also available at any time and very quick to respond. Madalena do Mar is a quiet little place and was the ideal starting point for us for our tours to the west or north. But Funchal is also within easy reach. In the village itself there are good restaurants and you can walk wonderfully directly along the sea. The view from the living room window to the sea was particularly beautiful at all times. We would always spend our vacation in Ana's apartment again and there is a clear recommendation from us for this accommodation. Best regards, Andrea

Casa da Janela - Wood

FátimaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We had a wonderful holiday at Casa da Janela! The house is beautiful, very welcoming and perfect for family moments. It was impeccably clean, well-equipped and full of small details that made us feel truly at home. The countryside is simply relaxing — with a breathtaking view of the mountain and the sea. The smooth noise of the waves and absolute quiet were the perfect setting to recharge energy. The location is excellent: isolated enough to ensure total peace of mind, but close to everything we needed. A big thank you to hosts, who have always been attentive and available.

Casa da Betty - luxurious w/aircondition

DanielRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a fantastic stay at Betty’s apartment. The house itself is really spacious, comfortable and kitted out with everything you need including high end appliances. The location is amazing. 10 mins on the bus into Funchal, centrally located for access to the whole island by car, and if you want to stay local you can walk to many restaurants, swimming pools, beaches etc. Betty is a great host, friendly and responsive at all times. Highly recommended!

Patio da Achada View Apartment

PriyankaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Raquel is a brilliant host. She really took care of us - so flexible, accommodating, and kind. We could tell she just wanted us to have a good time. Her apartment is so beautiful, spacious and clean. It’s a very safe and well located apartment, just a 15 min walk or 5 min drive into town. We loved having breakfast / a night cap on the balcony. Bolt drivers have no problem finding the place. My only note is the hot water takes a couple mins to warm up but once it gets going it’s great. Raquel, thanks so much again for having us, you and your place made this trip all the more special.

RinaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We absolutely loved our stay at the Woodlovers property. It was clean, beautiful, private, quiet, and an oasis from home while on vacation for 10 days in Madeira. Our hosts were so communicative. We felt well guided before, during and after. Thank you for all the recos. Wouldn’t reco a better stay while visiting this beautiful island.

Sofia's Place

BrianRating, 5 stars1 month ago
One of our best AirBnBs ever. Exactly as advertise, Sofia's place is large, comfortable and beautifully situated. Jardim do Mar is our favourite spot on our favorite island. Would return to Sofia's place again and again - unfortunately next year renovation is planned but the current house is wonderful. Sofia is extremely helpful and responsive - I don't remember ever waiting more than 15 mins for a response. Our 5 weeks stay flew by. Highest level of recommendation.

Casa Velha D. Fernando (Old House D. Fernando)

ReinerRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Very nice little house with everything you could need in it. And a beautiful big garden, for breakfast and chilling. Unfortunately, we could only have breakfast outside once because the weather was not so good. But Mariana can't do anything about that! Your partner Miguel is also very friendly and immediately helpful with small problems. Thx, you two!

Vista Mar - AC, Parking and pool

SarahRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Ronaldo greeted us when we arrived, they were very responsive and even sent local recommendations like restaurants and activities. The apartment was ideal, it was spotless, the scenery was amazing and it was even bigger than the pictures. The amenities within the apartment were great, everything we needed was there. A laundry room with detergent and cleaning supplies was available in the apartment, kitchen tools were available for us to use and so much more. The location was great, only about 5-10 minutes from Funchal’s centre and in close proximity to hikes which we loved. Overall we felt very safe and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Whitehouse408 Sw.Pool & Pvt. Parking

BethRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The apartment is in a great location. Tonnes of mixed restaurants nearby (some tourists may prefer if you want home comforts and others authentic Portuguese food) all just a walk away. A short walk to many local supermarkets too which is helpful when you need to quickly grab things. Private pool which was never busy and always quiet! We rented a car and the parking in the apartment is so accessible. We used the apartment as a base for many hikes so drove various distances from here to explore Madeira. Excellent host, great apartment and would stay in this airbnb next visit.

Villa Golden Charm

RobertRating, 5 stars1 month ago
What a view! Amazing. During the colder months, I highly recommend paying to have the pool heated (30 euro/day). Once the water warmed up, we used it every day and it was comfortable even when the weather was cold. There were plenty of extra towels. We also enjoyed the pool table and ping pong. House also has easy access to hiking paths (one trail passes immediately behind villa). The few drawbacks of the villa were limited seating in living room (an additional small sofa and some end tables would help for groups of 4+), kitchen has a full set of dishes but not quite enough for two meals (i.e., ran out of plates if some were still in dishwasher from the prior meal) and, for us, the clothes dryer was broken (hopefully will be fixed soon). None of these distracted from the chance to enjoy breakfast on such a patio. Orlanda was very responsive and even met us in town to show us the way.

Secluded Villa In Tropical Garden | Villa Mar I

DittaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Garden and house are a real delight and all of us felt very much welcome and at home. the house has been carefully and thoughtfully improved since our last stay 5 years ago, without losing it's unique charm. the roar of the sea are all you hear at night. access to the house is via a very steep drive, quite daunting at first. a small car is highly recommended. With our party of 7, having rented the cottage too, that connects to the main house via the garden. we hope to come again.

Sea View Apartment

GergelyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We stayed at Marco’s apartment with our 1-year-old baby and spent three wonderful weeks there. The accommodation is located in the sunniest part of the island. From the 4th floor, there’s a stunning view of the ocean from both terraces where you can watch the sunset too. The living room is bathed in sunlight all day and overlooks a peaceful park above the plaza. In my opinion, the apartment is even cozier than it appears in the photos and is fully equipped with everything you might need. We cooked and did laundry quite a lot during our stay. There are several restaurants, a hair salon, and a toy shop in the same building as the apartment. Across the street, there’s a greengrocer, and just a few steps away is a shopping mall. The playground is located in park just a block away from the apartment, and at the beginning of the street, there’s a traditional bakery filled with local delicacies. Communication with Marco was very smooth, he’s truly a wonderful host!

Funchal - Breathtaking ocean & city view house

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really chose a fantastic apartment here! It's just like it looks in the photos and the description is accurate. If you want an apartment just outside the city centre, in a quieter neighbourhood (São Martinho), that has unbelievably stunning views of the hills, sparkling lights and the ocean, this is the one. The road is a dead end so there are no revving motorbikes or cars, only in the distance the typical barking dogs of Madeira. Going to sleep at night and waking up to this view was a stunner! We were there for one week and had everything we needed to make meals, watch TV and comfortably get ready (two of us). There are 3 balconies and 2 ways to get to the home. Be prepared to climb and descend hills if you don't have a car! But this is part of the experience. An added bonus was on-property cat, Hippie, who you get to feed and cuddle outside every day. She was such a sweetheart! Leonor is also one of the most proactive communicators on AirBnB. We had such a wonderful experience.

The Ocean Waves

DennisRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We had a wonderful time at Valery's apartment. Particularly noteworthy is, of course, the view of the sea, which is absolutely unrestricted due to the large windows and the balcony with glass walls. The decor is super modern, it lacks nothing. The communication was ideal. You always felt that Valery was very important to the well-being of his guests. From the apartment you can easily drive to the entire island. Parking spaces are available, the car is safe and we never had any problems getting a place. Supermarket is also 5 minutes by car. Walking around the apartment was somewhat limited due to lack of footpaths. A rental car is recommended. But I think that's the case with almost every place in Madeira. We thank Valery for the wonderful time. A great Airbnb experience for us. We will be happy to come back.

Casa Crystal Very beautiful and quiet place, Wi-FI

RobinRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had the best time staying at the Crystal house. Fatima was an incredibly friendly host who welcomed us personally and gave us privacy during our stay. She even brought us Madeiran wine and bananas from the garden. The space is big enough for 2 persons, especially with the royal terrace and balcony looking over the valley and the ocean! This was exceptional! The road in front of the house is not extremely busy, but the cars are loud sometimes. The kitchen is not very big, but it has the basics and is good enough for simple dinners. The bathroom is also quite small, but it’s clean and well equipped. The location on the island was ideal for us! You can drive to the highlights quite easily, while still enoying the local atmosphere from Madeira. Muito obrigado Fatima! It was amazing!
