Villas Madalena - Excelente casa T1 com Vista Mar e Wifi
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!

Casa da Janela - Madeira
Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Jedoch ein Auto sollte man haben, ansonsten könnte es schwierig werden.

Casa da Betty - luxurious w/aircondition
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.

Pátio da Achada View Apartment
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.

Pebble Beach House- Casa da Fajã
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.

Sofia's Place
Maison familiale, agréable dans un très joli village au calme sans voiture. Nous sommes tombés sous le charme de Jardim do mar, ses petites ruelles avec ses jardins typiques ! Merci Sofia, nous étions comme à la maison 😊🙏

Stonelovers® (Heated Pool Optional) - Unit3
Der Urlaub auf Madeira war nicht zuletzt wegen der tollen Wohnung in der Woodloversvilla unvergesslich! Jardim do Mar ist ein wunderschöner Ort im Südwesten mit sehr guter Gastronomie, ruhig gelegen mit Zugang zum Meer. Von dort hatten wir einen guten Startpunkt die Insel mit ihren vielfältigen Möglichkeiten zu erkunden! Am Abend haben wir die tolle Stimmung am Haus genossen! Auch das nachhaltige Konzept von Ruben und Lúcio haben uns sehr gut gefallen! Madeira und die Woodlovers sind unbedingt zu empfehlen immer wieder eine Reise wert! Petra und Alex

In the heart of the old town, access to everything
We loved staying in Corinas well equipped unit. 2 large light filled bedrooms, 2 bathrooms was great with 3 of us and the living area is spacious . We loved the balcony with great view especially at night with the lights of the town and hills. We loved the kitchen eatery as well with beautiful views. Having a parking space within the complex was wonderful! Enjoyed the roof terrace as well. Thanks Corina!

La Belle Vie
Clean, spacious, amazing balcony and view of the ocean. Had a great 2 weeks here. Cafes, restaurants, grocery store, beach all within walking distance. The apartment is in a quiet, private building, can still hear a bit of noise from the road in the back 2 bedrooms but not a big complaint considering how calm and peaceful the place is in general. Thank you!

Piscina, varanda e vista mar. Estúdio renovado.
Alles super! Die Kommunikation verlief problemlos. Die Lage ist optimal. Von dort aus kommt man über all gut hin und es gibt über die Straße direkt ein Einkaufszentrum mit Supermarkt. Danke !

Stunning Sea View-Supermarket-AC-Park-3 Pools-Gym
Невероятно красивая квартира. В живую лучше чем на фото. Очень быстрое и комфортное заселение. Качественные материалы, хорошая мебель и идеальная чистота. Прекрасный вид из балкона и из квартира на бассейн и океан. Всё работает. Высший класс жилья. Самый лучший район Фуншала с дорогими отелями в округе. Рядом торговый центр. До пляжа 5 минут пешком. До центра Фуншала 10-15 минут на машине.

Villa Golden Charm
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le logement ! (famille de 6 personnes) Celui-ci est bien situé, une belle vue, endroit très paisible et privé. Il est très bien équipé, piscine chauffée (pour 30€/J), barbecue disponible, très spacieux et propre. Ce qui en fait un très bon rapport qualité-prix. On recommande !

New dream luxury appartment in the Madeira Palace.
Superbe appartement ! Parfait pour un séjour a Madère. Le logement est tout équipé avrc une salle de bain par chambre ce qui est très pratique pour un groupe de voyageurs, la résidence avec piscine est un vrai plus. Je recommande fortement ce logement. Hôte disponible pour toute question.

☀️ Bright & Spacious w/ Pool & Oceanside View :D
Great location in a perfect apartment. Clean, scenic and has everything you need. Pool as an extra! Jardim Do Mar is a great place to be for a relaxing time and this apartment is the perfect accompaniment for the village. Friendly dog and two cats if you’re animal lovers.

Modern, lux comfort with Pool & Ocean view
Great experience, top tier communication with the host. Amazing appartment, spacious, bathrooms really nice and the kitchen was a dream - would come again

Secluded Sunset Villa on Cliff & 180° Ocean Views
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.

Alojamento da Faia
Emplacement agréable et calme. La maison est spacieuse. L’hôte a été très agréable et conciliant. Très réactif et disponible.

Stunning Ocean View Apartment
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.

TOP FLOOR, amazing SUNNY TERRACE,sea view, wifi
We loved our week at Nuno's place! The apartment was lovely and bright, we loved to soak in the sun on the terrace. Nuno is very caring host :) Madeira's air is wonderful, and with the terrace door open, the apartment was always filled with fresh air- so good to sleep like that. The terrace is not too windy as well! Just the perfect breeze blowing by. Definitely would recommend the apartment!

BoaVista-2Bed Cosy panoramic Sea & Mountain View’s
A very beautiful place! plenty of room for our family of 4. Thank you!

Casa do Ilhéu - House of Ilhéu - Câmara de Lobos
Carla was a wonderful host! She provided detailed instructions, was responsive to our questions, and the apartment was very well appointed. The kitchen had everything you could need! Enjoying coffee on the deck, overlooking the water, was an unforgettable experience.

Sea House
Ein tolles Haus in wunderschöner Lage! Näher am Meer geht nicht und das Meeresrauschen begleitet einen Tag und Nacht. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und super sauber. Man fühlt sich sofort wie zu Hause! Constantino ist sehr hilfsbereit und hat tolle Tipps. Ohne ihn hätten wir den kleinen Strand in Seixal nie gefunden... Wir waren 14 Tage hier und haben jede Minute genossen. Danke, Constantino!

Suite BK | 3 Pools-Gym-Park-AC-Supermarket-5m Sea
El apartamento es muy acogedor, amplio y bonito. Las zonas comunes son espectaculares, muy bien cuidadas, especialmente el gimnasio y las piscinas. La única pena que durante nuestra estancia hubo bastante viento y no pudimos aprovechar las piscinas tan maravillosas.

Seaview Escape with jacuzzi
If I could, I would give to this accomodation and Patricia way more stars :) The flat is perfect. Great location, ocean view, everything was clean, nice and neat. Also those little, but big, details - dimmable light, extra fluffy blanket (not going to spoil more:) Watching stars while in jacuzzi.. Just awesome :) And Patricia is amazing host. Always quick answer, helpful, proactive, friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and I will definitely book this place again, if we ever come back :)
