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.

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!

Highly recommended! The house is very beautiful and well furnished! Luís and Isabel are very helpful and kind! Public transport is nearby and there is a lot of choice where to have breakfast or a drink in the surrounding (by foot). Funchal is very colorful and the people are so friendly. We’ll certainly come back!

Nothing for people with disabilities. Lovely neighborhood with access to bus to the city (takes about 15 minutes), bar, restaurant, bakery, shop and church.

Simple clean authentic facilities, friendly helpful hosts and for me a quiet residential location but with immediate access to all I needed.

Beautiful and quiet location overlooking the city and the extraordinary owner who gave detailed information and tips.

Luiz and Isabel met us at arrival, and showed us around in the nice garden and our apartment. Friendly and informative. Beautiful view of the city, and the standard of the place is good. Supermarket, bakery, bars and a restaurant nearby, and good bus connection to the city centre. Recommended!

Great space with some excellent restaurants nearby. Great communication and tips from Isabel and Luiz.

This is a fantastic place and an outstanding host - in the middle of native Madeirian culture :-)

Everything great

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 ☺️

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.

Very welcoming hosts, very kind! Impeccable accommodation with a superb view! Access a little difficult by car (narrow street) but being careful it goes!

If you want to be calm, a bit far from the tourist flow, in the greenery and the banana plantations, this corner is for you!

We absolutely loved staying at Ana‘s! She was so warm and welcoming, and the house is furnished with so much love. It felt like home after just 3 days. Also, we had an amazing view from our balcony and loved waking up from the nearby rooster. What more can you hope for?!

Hostess with a big heart ....

Warm welcome, ideal location (with a car is better), I highly recommend.

We were at Ana's for 10 nights and rented a car to go hiking on the island. The welcome was perfect for us. Practical, comfortable, clean and beautiful accommodation. In addition, welcoming hosts, knowing how to combine discretion, warmth and generosity. If one day we return to Madeira, it will be at Ana's.

Ana's Place is really nice and perfect for your holidays on madeira. The hospitality was great and we got many usefull tips for our trips around the island. The rooms are nice and cosy and the house is located a little bit outside of funchal with a nice view over the ovean. We enjoyed our time ar Ana's Place and would come back anytime soon.

Incredible exact experience in the airbnb philosophy. The suite has a balcony with panoramic view. Private bathrooms The house is just 10 minutes walk from the supermarket and 5 minutes from the funchal buses. The living room is nice to eat. Finally Ana, her family and friends are very friendly and helpful and handle several languages fluently as French Spanish English. Thank you

Such a wonderful and peaceful place with truly outstanding views to the ocean and faraway buildings that are beautifully lit during the hours of darkness. Yvette & Joe turned out to be the nicest AirBnb hosts we've ever had making us feel like home from the very beginning. The location is very suitable for exploring all the corners of the island, and the hosts were kind enough to share very useful tips about when and where to go, allowing us to make the most of our days. Truly enjoyed our stay and totally recommend the place - you'll love it!

Charming chalet in a fabulous location. Breathtaking views & easy access to all areas of the island. Yvette pays attention to detail & leaves lovely gifts of fresh & home grown produce. She is available to advise on where to visit & what you can see. We absolutely want to return to this fabulous chalet, a real home from home & then some! We spent many hours staring out at the horizon from the private balcony, absorbing the relaxed way of life on Madeira & we particularly enjoyed the hammock & eating al fresco every night. Not something you can do in the UK in January!!!

Yvette and Joe are wonderful hosts and the apartment is a dream. The equipment is great, there is even a bathtub and fan heater to keep out the cold (we had the coldest week in years). The location is perfect for excursions in all directions and the terrace with the magical view invites you to relax. We had a wonderful week and highly recommend this apartment!

Look no further, this is the place to stay in Madeira! We absolutely loved our time at Yvette & Joe’s - it was sparkling clean, check in was a breeze with very clear instructions provided on how to find the property, the view was incredible (perfect spot for sunset), central location for visiting all that is on the island and to top it off fantastic hospitality. We highly recommend and hope to be back!

We loved our stay at Yvette's place. The rooms and the view is perfect, you can get everywhere around the Island fast as the flat is close to the Highway and good to reach. As I got a cold it was nice to have a fully Equipped kitchen and fruits from their lovely garden. If you want to have a relaxing vacation and a good place to Start for hiking plus hosts with fast and reliable communication & Tips, it is highly recommendable. We d love to visit again, maybe without getting sick :)

The apartment has wonderful views and is very nice and relaxing. Yvette was a very helpful host sharing tips on the local area with us. Overall we had a very nice stay.

This is a beautiful place in an amazing spot, the view from the patio is incredible. The room is cosy, clean and the kitchen + bathroom are well equipped. Yvette and Joe are very friendly and will make your stay very comfortable.

What a fantastic space! The accommodation is the lower half of a two storey house, both being self-contained and with their own, private, outside space. A lovely balcony looks west and down onto the lovely wee chapel far below, which is well worth the walk down to. The only 'issue' is that the balcony gets no sun til later in the day as it's faces west...but that's nit-picking! In all other respects this place was perfect; nice, comfy chairs to sit on inside, large bathroom, fully fitted kitchen, sun loungers, hammock...Yvette and Joe were perfect hosts, always available if needed but never intrusive, willing to impart local knowledge, suggestions etc. There's a wee guide to the island in the welcome pack, written by a family friend of theirs, well worth the read, full of information. Campanario itself is lovely, try the wee cafe attached to the supermarket up the hill, great coffee and cake. In common with a lot of the island though, outwith the larger urban areas, there's very few pavements, so take care when walking anywhere! We always hire a car on holiday, I'd suggest it's essential on Madeira. Get yourselves up into the hills, off the beaten track, find the real Madeira. We'll definitely be back!

The accommodation is wonderful for a stay at Curral das Freiras: well located, super comfortable and with amazing view from the balcony.

Great place, very clean, and views on the balcony were incredible! A bit of noise on New Years Eve, but overall very nice.

Jose’s house is a gem hidden between mountains! The house was perfect for us: to explore the island, to enjoy the peaceful being for a few days in the mountains, the little village is perfect (coffee/bakery, restaurant, small supermarket...) the locals are so friendly! The house itself was a dream! The views are amazing day or night, so much light! Covers all the needs: basic kitchen, nice living room, comfortable beds, all open space and the best..the large terrace to enjoy the meal. Jose is a super host! He is quick replying, providing tips..thanks Jose for making us soooo welcome and feel like home! And big thanks to Armenia, for all her attentions! Oh and WiFi is very reliable! Important when travelling with a teenager..or if you need to work.. I will not hesitate to recommend Jose house or should I return to the island.. this is the house where I want to stay!

Jose is hospitability and a great guy. Totally recommend

Couldn’t praise the view higher enough. We arrived after dark, waking up to the mountains was just mindblowing. The parking is INSANELY steep so do prepare yourself! The bed was super comfortable and the wifi was very quick and strong signal everywhere. Would definitely stay here again!

Highly recommended. A beautiful place to sit out on the balcony and admire the views.

Large apartment with rustic charm, quiet and relaxing with beautiful views of the peaks! Foreseen a certain travel time via funchal for most hikes.

Jose and his family are very hospitable friendly people. The studio is very spacious and situated in de middle of the mountains away from the busy side of the island. We had a great time here!

We very much loved our stay. The cottage is just fantastic and cozy. Communication with Rui was perfect. Car absolutely necessary and the road leading to the cottage might be scary for new drivers. But nothing changes the fact that this cottage is a hidden gem and the nature around it absolutely mystical and amazing. So glad we could have been there.

Great place, beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful location. A little piece of heaven. The tiny house is cosy and warm. The perfect place to be. Highly recommended.

Nice house in "the middle of nowhere". Close to many beautiful walks and you can easily reach beautiful mountain peaks.

We had an amazing time at the cottages, surrounded by beautiful scenery with an impressive view every morning. Rui was a very helpful guest, from check in to local tips he made our stay very memorable. Will recommend a stay here to anyone who wants to see Madeira’s wild side!

Really fantastic place!

Beautiful setting, amazing views. Just make sure you arrive before dark as the driveway is a bit of an adventure!

We had a wonderful stay in the Camelia cottage! The cottage itself was perfect for 2 people, the bedroom had plenty of space, the shower had hot water with great water pressure and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The location is remote and quiet, truly a mountain oasis. There are some restaurants nearby (5-15 minutes by car) that were great. My husband rented a mountain bike and was able to access trails easily from the cottage. Highly recommend if you are looking to have a relaxing mountain experience while in Madeira!

We stayed here as our halfway point during our run across the island. Great location as it is close to everything in town and an amazing view!

The scene from the terrace is something hard to compete with. Such a beautifull place it went above to our expectations. Mellissa and Manuel were really helpful they were available when we needed. Bus stop and restaurants are really close. Perfect for hiking also.

Zelia has a really beautiful flat, which is well equiped. We had own private room with bathroom. Flat is close to the city center. Zelia is very kind and friendly host and she helped us with everything. Thanks to her the accommodation was like a home.

Zelia was a perfect host. We were given a bottle of wine and delicious cake upon arrival. The day, i got sick enough to need s doctor. she drove me a the hospital's clinic, the pharmacy several blocks away and back. We

Zelia is welcoming, helpful and available. The apartment is functional, the kitchen practical and the room impeccable.

Zelia is a fabulous host and her home is very comfortable and full of charm. We had a fantastic Christmas with her. It is only a short hop on the bus to Funchal and the bus stop is right outside the apartment. I highly recommend this space.

Zelia has the best imaginable order and she manages the host with personal warmth.

It is a single room with its own very nice modern bathroom in an apartment together with the owner. But you can also use the living room and two balconies, as well as the very nice modern kitchen. I was greeted very warmly by the owner Zelia. She explained everything to me in detail and gave very good tips for excursions almost every day. Even though she did not speak German and only a little English, we were able to communicate well through the Google translator. Everything is there what you need. On TV there were also different channels with original American films. The whole apartment is very very clean and well maintained. And completely luxurious equipped and furnished. The room is located on a busy main street, but when the window is closed, you hardly hear it. A bus stop is right across the apartment. Or you can walk down to the old town and the harbor - that takes about 10 minutes. All in all, it was a very nice and relaxed stay in this apartment. And Zelia was always helpful and quick to reach .....

Very clean place not too far from the center.

Zelia is very nice and kind person. In her apartment we felt like home. She offered us with cake and coffie. Apartment is very clean and nice. Near aparment is bus station, caffe bar and market. If you need something you can always text her and her replay is very fast. Obrigado Zelia :)

One of the nicest accommodations we have ever been to. The house is super beautiful, the location fantastic (if you love it quiet). The hosts are super nice and very helpful. Since we were there for Christmas, the family even put up a Christmas tree. The home-grown fruit, which was included in a gift basket, was really delicious. Any time. :)

The house is in a really calm area, it is great for everyone who likes nature. Its also very close to the levada nova for hiking. Barbara and Egidio are very helpful and friendly, and offered me free rides, because i didnt have a drivers license. Thank you again for the 6 days and i probably come back to madeira but next time with a drivers license 😀

We spent an amazing week in this beautiful studio! Bárbara was really sweet and very responsive from the very beginning and was available for any questions all the time. We were welcomed by her brother and father who were really lovely! There was a welcome basket for us with the best bananas we have ever eaten (local and home-grown). The studio is beautiful and very well equipped (kitchenware, coffee machine, hair dryer, washing machine, many towels, etc.) - we basically had everything we needed. We enjoyed our breakfast in the sun on the balcony every morning, the view was amazing! The location is perfect if you like peace and being away from the city. Everything is easy to reach by car, Funchal is only a 40-minute drive away. We definitely recommend this place and are hoping to come back in the future. Bárbara and the family - thank you again for everything!

Were really happy! Is really recommendable! Gladly again!

We spent 15 days in Casa do Eucalipto and it was a magic time. This place is perfect to visit Madeira Island, only 30 min from Funchal and 10 minutes from Ribeira Brava. The location is very calm and in the heart of nature. Moreover, the flat is fully equiped and totally new. The balcony was our favourite place to enjoy sunrise and breakfast. 1000 thanks to Barbara and her family for the warm welcome and her disponibility during our trip, it was very appreciable and helpful. Fabulous place for unforgettable moment ! Cannot recommend more!

The stay in the studio of Egidio and his family was really fantastic. In the apartment you will find everything you need for a great stay: From the washing machine to the hair dryer to the cooking utensils. The location is a dream, you have a wonderful view and can watch the sunrises and sunsets. Barbara was always available and provided us with all the necessary information. It was really nice. We will hopefully come back someday.

The cottage is really great! We felt very comfortable. From the balcony you have a great sea view and the decor is nice modern. We were welcomed with a gift basket and the hosts were very friendly and quick in communication. It was very clean and beautiful! Happy again :) Thank you!

Great place to stay. Stylish, comfortable and very clean. Very peaceful area with beautiful views from around the house. Superb welcome with madeiras best fruits and wine!

We are delighted with the room. It also has a kitchenette for cooking, which is very practical! It is very well equipped, there is everything you need. We will be back with pleasure!

We really enjoyed our stay, everything was clean and new and the housekeeper gave us a lot of useful tips not to mention the vine taste at the check in and a fresh cake everyday :) Thank you once again!

A warm welcome and beyond our attentions, pleasant to live in, I recommend this place !! Local cakes, coffee, billiards, and outdoor with swimming pool available

Very nice apartment close to the city centre. Very clean, very niceley furnished and a great lobby with fresh fruit, cake, tea, coffee and billard table. We really enjoyed the stay.

Amazing spot with a great hospitality. It's located in a fantastic spot.

Nice, clean, modern accomodate for very good price. Perfect communication.

The house is quietly located in a residential area. Nevertheless, the bus drives right in front of the door. You can be in Funchal in a few minutes. They are great hosts, it is very clean and I would recommend the accommodation to anyone spending time in Funchal.

Maria was an excellent host, friendly and willing at all times. The stay in his apartment was very pleasant, he offers us a private covered garage, a very well equipped kitchen, a very spacious and clean room, perfect bathroom. Beautiful view and very good location! I would return without hesitation. ....... Maria was an excellent host, friendly and willing at all times.

Maria is very nice and the apartment is very spacious. Great stay!

Everything was perfect, great view from the terrace, big and light apartment, good equipped kitchen. Nice location on the top of the hill.

-

Polish: Location - great, beautiful view from the terrace. Less than 2km from Monte, a house on the main street so you can easily find it. Although the main street is quiet, no noise. Apartment - Much larger than I expected, all spaces except the bathroom open (connected together). Purely. Well equipped. Hosts - we did not have personal contact with Maria but with her parents (?). Mum welcomed us very warmly and even though she doesn't speak English, she showed everything, we got along and showed some words similar to Polish so it went. It was a shame to leave this place. We felt at home there. I recommend this place to everyone with all my heart! You will certainly be satisfied :) Angielski: Location - great, beautiful view from terrace. Approx 2km from Monte, house by the main street so easy to find. Altough by main street, the toes is very quiet. Apartment - much bigger then expected, all open spaces (excluded bathroom). Clean. Well equipped. Hosts - we did not meet Maria but with her parents (?). Mother greeted us very warmly and altough she does not spek english she shoed us everything, we talked by showing and talking, some words are similar to polish words so was not that bad and we communicated. It was a shame (it was sad) to leave this place. We felt at home there. I recommend this place to everyone with all my heart! You will certainly be satisfied :)

We really enjoyed our stay. Apartment is spacious with panorama view over Funchal. We loved the small thougthfull things like oil, vinegar, some spicies, plastic takeaway boxes (for having lunch on the way) and first aid kit. Maria is a nice host. Obrigado!

Everything perfect. Nice people and an amazing view.

Quiet and private place with everything essential to spend a few days. Supermarket nearby. Simple and quick check in. As mentioned before, it is preferable to have a car and be a decent driver, as in Madeira some streets are very steep or narrow or both! The host's availability for any situation is excellent, although it was not necessary to contact them in the middle of the stay as everything was perfect. The view is fantastic, despite it being winter, we were presented with sunshine for almost the entire stay. For the cooler nights the fireplace tasted great! It will certainly be a repeat stay!

We have had a wonderful turn of the year at Casa do Eucalipto. We can only agree with the previous speakers, everything was just perfect! Egidio and his great family (also a big thank you to Bárbara for the organization and translation :)) received us very well and also surprised us with a welcome gift! The rooms were clean and stylish with attention to detail. There was even a Christmas tree and Christmas decorations! If you are looking for peace and prefer the rural surroundings, this is the place for you. The view of the sea and mountains was magnificent, and in the morning you are woken up by a great sunrise in the bedroom. As mentioned several times, a rental car is an advantage; we will miss the daily adventurous trips to the property. When we come back, this place will definitely be at the top of the list.

Great apartment with all the comfort you need, and with a breathtaking view. Complete privacy high up on the mountain (renting a car is recommended). Unique hospitality and kindness from Egidio and his family. A top experience.

Beautiful house, lots of space both inside and around the house. In the middle of nature. Fantastically beautiful. I especially love the fireplace. Everything you need is available. With 2 bedrooms and a second bathroom, the accommodation also offers enough space for 4 people. I can only recommend this accommodation!

This is a perfect place for relaxing and exploring the island. The flat is as described and shown on the images and gives you plenty of room (e.g. 2 bathrooms, large living room, terrace) and a spectacular panorama view to the coast line. We were warmly welcomed by the family and surprised by a nice selection of local products. Communication with Barbara (Egidio's daughter) was very easy, responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend Egidio's place to everybody who wants to stay in a calm environment. From there you have easy access to all parts of the beautiful island of Madeira.

The "cottage" is very nice. The view is breathtaking. If you like it a little quieter here is just right. From Ribeira Brava you drive about 15 minutes by car up the mountain. The apartment is comfortably furnished with modern standards. Everything important was there to cook. Some fine Madeiran treats were provided for us as a welcome. It did and very well and we would come back again. Barbara, the daughter of Egidio, was always available to answer any questions and answered quickly. The location was great. From here you have about 30 minutes to Funchal. In addition, Calheta is only about 10 minutes away. A sandy beach where the sand from the Sahara was imported. Also is a beautiful hiking trail "the Tabua Valley" in the immediate vicinity and you can go on foot.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautyful house . Everything was clean and cosy. The view is amazing Barbara (Egidios daughter ) and Egidio are great and helpful hosts. Thank you very much !!

Betty was a great host. Her responses to my questions before the visit were always speedy and really helpful. The apartment is very clean, well equipped and located in a location with stunning views. Betty gave great recommendations for local walks, which I especially appreciated as a lone traveller who did not hire a car. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place.

very nice,silent and clean place! I just can recommend it. I stayed alone, so i had a big flat for myself! Its everything there that you probably need.

The accommodation is well maintained and well equipped. The kitchen offers everything that is needed for everyday life, the view from the terrace in front of the house is stunningly beautiful. On a clear day you can enjoy the morning sun on the second balcony on the bedroom. The apartment is very well located to hike from here to walks in the center of the island. Shops and very good restaurants are around 5 -10 minutes away by car. Betty and Jose were very accommodating and attentive hosts. On a second visit to Madeira, we would immediately stay here again!

The apartment was beautiful. It lies in a valley and it’s perfect to start several trips around the whole island. We loved it and when we’ll come back to Madeira this is our first Adresse.

Great views from the terrace and a small balcony to Sao Vicente valley and up the mountains. Our host Betty was friendly and helpful. Thanks a lot for the sample of passion fruit poncha and perfectly ripe mango of Madeira origin.

This valley is incredible! Staying there was the highlight of our trip to Portugal/Madeira. Very simple accommodations but fantastic hospitality from Maria! Only hope to be able to come back !

Nice location. We have really enjoyed our night in the village and the evening with Gabriel, responsable of the bar

Beautiful house in the mountains. It may be cold in February. Maria is a great host! She met us, showed us the house and treated us with delicious wine.

I had a great stay in the very cozy house. The view from the room is superb. Location is nice and quiet, and lot’s of Good hikes around in the neighborhood. The terrace is so good, same superb view with two relaxing chairs and a table and normal chairs. Good fireplace with wood to make a bbq. Good shower and wife and a well equipped kitchen. All the things you need are there. Highly recommended. Will go again :)

Very nice at very nice calm and relaxing place

Kline's cute house with a direct view of the mountains. In the garden you can collect the local fruit shushu and avocados from the tree around the corner. Super relaxed and helpful people can be found in the vicinity. Maria is a loving host and with heart and soul. We definitely recommend the house and especially Maria as your host and would love to come back anytime.

Nice moment in Maria's home! I really recommend the place if you wanna stay in Madeira

I highly recommend stay at Joao place. The apartement is clean, spacious and well located. The host is very hospitable and warm person. Obrigado Joao.

Everything's OK, we enjoyed the flat and Joao's welcome gifts ;)

Very cosy apartment and close to everything you need. Full with amenities, and very tidy! Host was very helpful and I had some surprises when I checked in the apartment. Thanks for everything and definatelly will book again.

Cozy apartment hosted by a lovely, extremely hospitable couple. Definitely worth recommending!

They met us at a prearranged place and took us to the apartment which was nice and clean, with a welcome pack of home made produce, we were made very welcome and they were most concerned that things were ok. The apartment is close to the bus stop from town, the walk into town is easy but it is steep uphill on the way back, there is a small shop across the road for necessities like wine and milk etc. At leaving time they came to say goodbye and collect the keys. We can thoroughly recommend this place to any couple wishing to visit Funchal. He showed us a very good nearby restaurant called the Central Grille, a must do unless you’re a veggie!

A very good welcome, a superb point of view, a magnificent house, well-equipped and calm.

Victor is a very attentive host who gave us very good advice on visits and hikes to do on the island. His welcome was very warm and full of little attentions including a basket of local products. He is a very considerate host who ensures our comfort, he is very responsive by messages. Regarding the cottage, it is even better than we expected. The breathtaking view of Madeira at night illuminated is worth it! We felt at home with all the amenities present. I recommend eyes closed to future travelers.

The small house is very quiet but in an absolutely panoramic position and has a lot of charm. The kitchen is neatly equipped - the living and dining area is awesome and super cozy. The approach on the very steep road is at least 'getting used to', but just normal for Madeira. We would go back anytime - Victor is a super nice host.

Such an amazing and wonderful place to stay. The views were wonderful and the garden was lovely. Especially we liked the barbeque room where we made pizza and skewered chicken. Victor was very helpful and nice to us. We would recommend this place to everybody.

We had a great time at the cottage. The cottage was very neat and the view from the living room was astonishing. If you don't mind the little car-trip out of town to get to the cottage, you will definitely have your money well-spent here. We arrived during the winter months (late January) and the gardens were still very nice and beautiful. The host was also very kind offering us tips and advice during our entire stay. Thanks for the hospitality!

The cottage was a perfect place for the two of us with plenty of space, especially the glassed-in living/dining area overlooking the hillside and city. The views were spectacular and the surrounding area was quiet as we were among the vineyard and fruit/vegetable gardens. The cottage is partway up a steep hill you drive up so just be aware that you will need to walk for a couple of minutes away from the main street, down a narrow flat walkway and then some steps down to the house gate. But we were perfectly fine with the location due to the privacy and views it provided and we loved it. Victor met us at check-in and got us well situated in the cottage. He provided excellent information, maps, and local restaurants/things to do. We explored the neighborhood on foot and wandered on the paths through the vineyards and gardens. On our return, we noticed the upper balcony and lounge chairs next to the bedroom located on the upper level. Don't miss lounging there! We highly recommend the cottage and Victor and we wish we could have stayed longer.

Victor is an extremely kind and thoughtful host and we understood this to be the case from the way he welcomed us with clear instructions about his house, gardens and surrounding area. The home has lots of character, is spotlessly clean and offers breathtaking views across Madeira. We had coffee every morning watching the sunrise over the Atlantic. The house offers a lovely sun room to sit and stare at the view but also three different terraces to enjoy the sunshine and views. Visiting in January we were able to enjoy long daylight hours and warm sunshine, although a little chillier in the evenings. The flowers and welcome hamper (which included fruit, bread, coffee and cookies) were lovely touches and it seemed everything was thoughtfully considered for travelers who may have forgotten something. We would definitely come back and stay here again.

Beautiful views from a historic stone house with tasteful additions. A unique experience as a great way to connect to local culture. Victor is a great host and thoughtful of each aspect of your stay. Highly recommend!

Hi, Sofia, Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely apartment. We had a lovely time. You’re very thoughtful person and everything we need is there. It’s so convenient and comfortable home. You even offered us a bottle of champagne to celebrate a new year. Her apartment is in a very central location convenient for supermarket and sightseeing. She is very thoughtful person. We can find anything we need. There’s a lovely garden in front of living room. I am sure it would be much useful if is in summer time. I will highly recommend her apartment. I will definitely go back if I visit Madeira again. Best wishes for you Sofia for the new year of 2020. Yu Jin

Not even sure where to start!! Sophia was beyond accommodating, the apartment was everything we needed & more & the location was fantastic! You would be insane not to stay in this wonderful place!

This is a wonderful apartment for 2-4 people in the centre of Funchal! Actually going through all the airbnb offers at the island this was absolutely differentiating, in terms of attractiveness as well price/quality comparison. Good deal! More importantly, the owners are are very attentive, responsive and simply, sweet and nice! Sofia runs this together with her father and they do a great job. The house is very complete with orange press(es), washing and ironing equipment. Nice to sit outside as well. Just a little noise from the street when the windows are open but one gets used to it after one night. The area is nice, walkable distance (though steep!) to the center. Sofia: see tou soon again in spring!

Sofia was a wonderful , sweet host! She helped us a lot and gave some very good advices where to go on this marvelous island. Her apartment is spacious with a beautiful garden which is perfect for having breakfast, especially when the first sunshines hit the ground. The location is pretty good and the cafe downstairs serves good coffee and tasty sandwiches. Hope to come back soon.

We (two adults and a 22 months toddler) just came back from a week’s holiday in Madeira. We stayed at Sofia’s apartment - and cannot recommend it enough! Five stars are not sufficient! Sofia is a wonderful host, providing local recommendations, guidance and support - always responding super quickly. Her well equipped apartment (everything; and more is provided) is conveniently located - easy to reach the Centre of town, but also to drive to other locations on the island. Sofia made us feel so welcome, and personal touches around the apartment (including toys and other “essentials” for children) reminded us all the time of her kindness and care. We will come back - and would not consider another place but Sofia’s apartment. Highly recommended - especially for travelers with children. :)

We were now for the second time in the perfect for our needs apartment Sofia. The equipment of the apartment leaves nothing to be desired, the location is perfect for us (optimal "motorway" connection to quickly eg to the walking routes, supermarket around the corner, snack bar on the corner, old town and harbor within walking distance ) and on the terrace you can also end the day comfortably with a beer, while the sun sets on the horizon. Sofia is the best hostess you can imagine, she is available to you - if necessary - with good tips and advice. We hope to be there again soon. :-) Obrigado! :-)

Sofia and her father are very friendly and helpful. The apartment is perfect.

The Sofia apartment is very nice: spacious, fully equipped, in a quiet residence with a great little garden. The attentions are not lacking. The accommodation is a little out of the way (so quiet), and on the heights. We chose to walk down and walk on foot or by taxi according to our fatigue (5-6 € taxi from the municipal garden ... and do not hesitate to negotiate!). Sofia took the time to give us a complete list of things to see on the island, her favorites (and the most efficient routes). Sofia advised us on her good addresses ... which were all great (we did not finish our journey). A real meeting. Thank you for everything.

I can only recommend great location. Flashes bright clean and a super friendly host. Definitely not the last time there.

Great location and the garage was very convinient.

Super nice host. Top location away from other tourists. Good shopping with fresh market at very reasonable prices within walking distance. Small coffee with fresh rolls, lunch table right next door. Everything perfect !

Very nice accommodation in funchal. Very clean, nice and fast communication. If you are by car, it's perfect located on a hill with the beautiful view over the city and you have a parking lot in the garage. All required shops are easy accessible even by foot.

A beautiful spacious apartment on one of the many hills of Funchal hosted by the very friendly Nuno. The view from the garden is great, it was clean and modern, the communication went all smooth - you can park your car in the private parking - but for sure need it to go into town. Or take a bus down hill. We would recommend this place for sure!

We were allowed to be guests at the Casa over Christmas, it was all clean and cozy, we even changed the towels and bed linen, I cooked in the kitchen a few times because the selection of the Continente supermarket inspired me. The location is as We had a rental car, and so much is said, pay attention to a high level of motorization, the streets in the villages often have a steep incline and are really a challenge. In the immediate vicinity there are a few bus stops, which is also a must experienced how the bus meanders through the alleys. After Funchal purely we paid about 2 euros each for a one-way trip. The prices were generally very moderate. We also visited some restaurants that we could reach on foot . Especially the Currascoria São Roque about 800m (but they have it all) had done it to us. Totally quaint, and you have to grill your own meat en, simple card, cheap prices. You stand at the grill with all the guests and wait for your meal to finish, drink beer and experience Portuguese cuisine. We only got to know friendly and open people. Right next to the Case is a small café where we could get our rolls in the morning. Nuno, stood by with advice and help, and got firewood for the chimney for the frozen Berliners. We had a good time here

This apartment is very well equipped. Host Nuno is very kind and helpful. The service is great too, every three days a change of towels, weekly change of bed linen, better than in a hotel ****. Since the accommodation, like almost everywhere in Funchal, is on the mountain, the garage is very good, no search for a parking space. Bus stop less than 100 m away. Bus into town no.13 ideal. We had a wonderful "warm November-December" month in Madeira and were very happy here. Thanks again to the host, will definitely come again. Wolfgang and Renate from Viernheim (Germany / Hesse)

Lovely Villa, close to everything with the car. The view is perfect and the terrace and the villa are beautiful

Friendly and pretty house, very good value for money. It's nice co-location.

Great stay. The house is in the center of Funchal and close to everything. Restaurants and cafes around. Very clean and comfortable.

Great location (basically center of Funchal) - makes it easy to go around the town at night. I had a chance to meet great people there and talk about till midnight with (wine was involved :). Shame I didn't stay there longer. Rosa is a great host - she made sure to give me local tips, map and she has shown me must see places around the island.

Good place to stay for those who are not looking for luxury conditions. Kitchen is a useful bonus. Rosa was very helpful and have us lots of routing and planning tips regarding the island.

Overall good place to stay. Clean and on cheaper side. Rosa was super nice and responsive. This was a good value.

It was amazing experience staying in Funchal109. Rosa and all the other ladies were friendly and very helpful. The place was clean and tidy. I was afraid of the bathrooms as many people are using them, but staff cleaned them everyday and tourists were careful with it as well. I hope we can come back again😊😊

Location with great location. The space has everything that is needed and is a good option. The hostess is super friendly, communicative and always available to help. I recommend.

I really enjoyed being at hostel 109. I was very happy and certainly were days to remember. The Rosa is very communicative, friendly and always ready to help, speak with Rosa, for walks or hiking tips. I recommend

Luis is a friendly host, responsive to the answers ... He was kind enough to come and pick us up around 10:30 p.m. because we were having trouble finding the apartment ...

Apartment very clean and well placed! A very nice view and quite quiet despite the nearby road.

Everything fits, very clean accommodation, landlords very friendly and helpful

Great place, perfect views, great host, clean and tidy place. Fully recommended!

Housing conforms to the photos. Location very friendly, a little away from tourists centered on Funchal. Nice terrace for lunch facing the sea and facing Cabo Girao!

The apartment is exactly like the description, a splendid view, the nights are silent, the reception (1h50 am) is irreproachable. A very good bedding, perfect for two couples. We will definitely return.

The apartment is very nice with a great view of the water. For questions and problems was immediately answered and helped ... very eager to the well-being of the guests ... absolutely recommendable ... thank you

A house with everything you need. A helpful, friendly and friendly host. At 50 meters, house, bus, marcket, pastry and bakery. Car for rent home. What else do you want?

The accommodation is small but very functional and perfectly clean. The bedding is of very good quality. The welcome for Maria is more than a word is a way of life.

Very helpful hostess, quiet, clean place, great help in choosing a car rental.

excellent stay, relaxing and exotic. rental responding in every respect to the announcement. To recommend without hesitation. thank you for the quality of your welcome

The studio is located on the ground floor of a large house which is accessed after 2 good flights of steps. It is small but very functional. We were able to cook and eat outside at every meal on the terrace facing the sea and a banana plantation. The bedding is perfect, we even asked for the brand of pillows! The first days we were able to enjoy Funchal using public transport (bus 01 stops just above the house and runs every 30 minutes to take us to the cable car, the center, the market to buy good fruit and Then we rented a car at a competitive price via a serious agency advised by Maria who delivered the car home Maria was very friendly, she answered all our questions in advance, she came to pick us up car when we arrived at stop 25 of the Aerobus and had been shopping for our breakfast.The rental is well located near exit 7 of the expressway, which allows to travel the island by car We had a good week.

the apartment is small but cute and the view from the terrace during breakfast and dinner is great. Maria is a really lovely host, easy to reach and gave us a lot of tips.

An unforgettable stay at Maria! I recommend.

Excellent hosts both Maria and Francisco, very helpful and friendly. The apartment is located next to Formosa beach (for my taste of the best) and in a quiet place of Funchal. Totally recommendable in all aspects.

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.

The apartment is the perfect starting point to explore the island. We had a rented car during the whole stay, parking was not a problem at all, neither in the proximity of the apartment nor in the centre of Funchal or elsewhere. The apartment is located in a great environment (with local restaurants and the best bakery just around the corner, also the modern shopping centre "Forum Madeira" is within 5 minutes walking distance). To the old town we went by car in 8 minutes. A big plus is the beautiful and large roof terrace where we could enjoy beautiful sunsets every evening. The apartment itself is very comfortable and bright. The communication with Luiz was wonderful. We will come back with pleasure!

The location is excellent close to everything and quiet. Perfect

Great studio, great location, amazing view. Walking distance to the Forum Mall, Monumental Estrada. Rooftop terrace with view to ocean and Cabo Girao. I will definitely come back.

Great location, close to supermarkets and shops, nothing is missing in the surroundings!

we stayed 2 1/2 weeks at the place and are very happy we did not book a place in the center of the town. It is a quiet place, very close to the via rapida and only 10 minutes from the city center by car where parking fees are very reasonable and always a place available.

Luiz was very friendly and flexible host. We loved the view from the balcony! Traffic connections were good near the apartment.

Great place, clean and had what we needed.

Stayed at the place for week and everything was great. Excellent location, very quiet neighborhood, a lot of different cafes and shops are located near, short walk to the wonderful ocean side, bus stops few minutes away. Basically, everything you need is there!

everything was great! the apartment is super clean and there is everything you need. The View is amazing!

A nice studio very well equipped with everything you need for a great stay for two. The bedding is very comfortable, the sofa too and we enjoyed the terrace. The location is perfect for visiting the island and looking for good restaurants nearby.

It was clean and nice. Quiet and nice atmosphere. Just take a distance to the city. Good bus connections. Short way to the beach. Nice balcony overlooking the sea. We really enjoyed ourselves there. Recommended. Traveling very happy to return there.

What a beautiful stay !!! The apartment locates the beauty of the island and above all the smile and kindness of Maria: that good memories. Congratulations to Agostinho for his octopus salad and his steak

Very good, clean and very well located

Our stay at the Apartment was almost the best Airbnb Trip we had. The Apartment is very cosy, clean and with a nice view to the ocean. We had everything we needed. Maria an Francisco were great hosts, welcomed us very friendly and helped us in every way. We definetly will come back! If you want to Visit Madeira, we can say for sure "Book it" :)

Where to start... The attic is just a wonderful hidden gem located in a quiet area in the outskirts of Funchal, near Câmara de Lobos. Although conveniently located with a nearby bus stop that offers services that take you to either downtown Funchal or towards the western part of the island, you will make the most of your stay if you rent a car, as you will be able to visit the different towns, forests, beaches, natural pools and all the wonders that are waiting for your in Madeira in a much more convenient way. The apartment is quite tastefully decorated and has enough room for up to 4 people. The terrace offers and amazing view of the Atlantic and is perfect for enjoying a romantic dinner while watching the sunset or having some healthy breakfast that will fill you up with that much needed energy before walking along the picturesque Levadas that surround the hills in the island. The views are absolutely breathtaking! Maria is a wonderful host. She is always there for you and will give you the best tips for anything you may ask her about. She is an expert in the area and a very pleasant lady to chat with. Thank you for being so nice. Moito obrigada. :) If you have never been in Madeira, do not hesitate it for a second! I can guarantee you that "the Pearl of the Atlantic" will not disappoint you at all. And you will definitely want to go back! I'm counting the days until my next visit...

Incredible how lovely Maria welcomed us! It was our first holiday with Airbnb and there were no wishes open. First Maria picked us up spontaneously after we missed our stop - thank you so much :-) she was such friendly to show us the neighborhood that we got the best orientation for our beginning at Villa Formosa. We had often a really nice conversation and the communication was to every time the best you can imagine! Maria is a helpful and lovely host with a warm smile to every time. We felt in a friendship with her and Francisco! We wish you all the best and are lucky to met you :-) thank you so much for everything - Mike&Stephan

Beautiful terrace, cozy rooms and great location near Funchal center!

Incredible place and person! I recommend!

Very clean and spacious spaces. The host Marcello was super friendly with us, as was his dog Zeus. The kitchen was well equipped and has an oven and fridge for guests to use.

Cheap hostel located at residence area close to city center. Owner is very friendly

Nice and friendly place, with attention to detail. And a cornflakes dispenser in the kitchen <3

It’s very nice place to stay there , amazing service and quite private residence. I just loved it

Great value for money and located centrally to the town centre. My only negative was that some of the other guests were very loud after 9pm into the early hours which was a shame after I asked politely to be a little less noisy! Thankfully I had earplugs but not the best nights sleep! Apart from that it was an enjoyable stay and loved the place very clean and breakfast included.

The residence offers all its botanical and architectural charm, away from the urban bustle, refreshed by a large private lounge area. The facilities are numerous (special mention at breakfast), the disposition of the rooms and common part well balanced, the daily cleanliness of rigor even in the rooms, all this for a very reasonable price. Thank you!
