Holiday rentals with lake access in Madeira

Manuel doesn't speak english, but with some translations on the phone and our limited vocabulary in portuguese/spanish we got far. Manuel explained a lot about all the possibilities for going to festivities and hiking close-by. Whenever we couldn't understand him, he took the time to try to explain differently. In this way he was even able to tell us some interesting things about the plants around in his garden and in the surroundings. Location in the valley itself is good, but down you always have to pass the industrial zone before going anywhere. One way to go about this is to hike up to the nice levadas at either side and walking out via there. It is not easy to get here via public transport. P.S. He has a young cat that was very cute to cuddle with.

A beautiful view in a beautiful place that we could enjoy every day. Duarte was always quick to reach. We would love to come back, really a great place!

Accommodation in an incredible location. We had a very good stay in this peculiar and curious house, and we were able to eat bananas from their own harvest. A good experience!

We really loved our stay at Casinhas! And would highly recommend it. It is a beautiful place in nature. For that having a car is a must. It was a shame that the road er105 is closed. This made driving to some of the hikes we planed to do still very long while they were so close by.

We had a great stay here (over the new year period). The apartment is great, was exactly as per the photos, descriptions and our expectations. Previous reviews we had read mention some noise, there is an element of that but for us it was nothing more than you would expect of any apartment centrally located in a bustling European city; probably more so when we were there as there is a fantastic festive atmosphere over the new year period. There are some fantastic restaurants nearby, we loved Akua and went there a few times during our stay and it is located on a street parallel to this apartment. The hosts of this AirBnB were especially thoughtful, probably the best we have ever come across over many years of using AirBnB. Very helpful, full of useful info and very quick to respond about any queries/advice. Recommend!

Claudia is the perfect host of a really lovely place

What can I say about this wonderful stay through Claudia and her villa. A guaranteed favorite with a breathtaking view of Ponta Do Sol. Claudia was very helpful from the beginning to the end of our stay and was also available for information. Always helpful and giving good advice, I highly recommend Claudia for a stay in Madeira. Exceptional location that guarantees a good vacation, being close to all places of interest. Thank you Claudia for this little corner of paradise that you have been able to bring us throughout this week. ☺️ I will return to Madeira, that's for sure. See you soon. Théophile.

From the get go the Angèla was an incredible point of contact and always responded rapidly! The apartment was very clean and comfortable and very central location with stunning water front views. we would 100% return

Fantastic apartment in a great location. Ideal for a couple or someone travelling on their own. Spotlessly clean, easily accessible from a quiet street, in central area of Funchal, with a great view of the marina from both the bedroom and kitchen areas. Very comfortable bed, ample supply of towels and toiletries, as well as a welcome pack of local food on our arrival. Alex & Lucy were extremely helpful, organising airport transfers for us as well as being readily available for any queries we had. Apartment is in an ideal location, close to the marina, bus stops, tourist information kiosks, boats for dolphin & whale watching, tour buses, Funchal Cathedral, cable cars and many very good restaurants. Air conditioning was excellent and very welcome in the 25+degrees of summer sunshine. We would definitely stay here again. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful apartment. Huge thanks to Alex & Lucy.

Great place, great location near the beach. The apartment is clean, well-equipped and as advertised. Anna is a responsive and welcoming host, great communication! I would highly recommend

Great stay in a peaceful location. Hire car should be considered an essential. 👍🏻
