Villa vacation rentals in Gaula

We absolutely loved our stay in Madeira! The property was incredibly clean—honestly one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed. Everything was spotless and so well maintained. The welcome gifts were such a thoughtful touch—local produce that gave us a warm introduction to the island. The house had everything we needed, from great coffee to handy extras like Tupperware, which made day trips really convenient. The sunsets from the property were absolutely stunning—something we looked forward to every evening. The location was great for accessing shops and restaurants nearby, but we’d definitely recommend having a car to explore more of the island comfortably. All in all, a fantastic stay. We’d return in a heartbeat!

We loved the house, every room has a badroom. Great kitchen. We injoid the swimming pool and sauna. The communication with the LovelyStay was fast and easy.

Amazing house ! Highly recommend!

The house was great, especially if you were traveling with a big family unfortunately, the weather was bad while we were there so we were unable to enjoy the outdoor space. The host was very responsive. We definitely recommend we especially enjoyed watching the planes takeoff and land the only negative that we can see is when we were using the cooktop and had the heaters on the cooktop kept turning off. We finally figured it out. It seemed like the house couldn’t handle having too many appliances on at the same time other than that, we loved it.

Our stay was really nice. The place corresponded exactly to the description and photos. Julien was a very nice communicative host who gave good tips for the island. The apartment is spacious, clean and well equipped. The road to the property is quite steep. You should therefore rent a suitable car. There is a construction site near the property, which can occasionally be heard. However, this did not significantly disrupt our stay, as we were traveling during the day. We can only recommend the place.

The view from the garden was truly beautiful. The cottage is so close to the sea that you could hear the surf in your bedroom. Otherwise, it was very quiet. A wonderful swimming pool and garden with different seats and also sunbeds so you could always choose where you wanted to sit. There was even a BBQ!

Well what can I say about abor villa- By far the best air bnb we have ever stayed in. Absolutely exceptional and decorated beautifully, so artistic and clean and akin to a boutique hotel. Emma was a fantastic host, she made the whole stay exceptional for our young family. Personal touches such as a mini chair for our two year old with suitable cutlery, cups etc ready for us, even taking the trouble to remove the legs of the children’s bed so not too high from the ground. She provided a box of toys for our children and ensured staples were ready for us after a late flight so that the children had food and milk- something we whole heartedly appreciated. The position of the villa was ideal- close to the capital, excellent views , close to restaurants and local towns and ideally situated so easy to get to the northern sites of the island which really wasn’t far when renting a car. Emma was easily reachable and offered lots of recommendations. The pool and views exceptional, we will return!

Karol place is definitely a home away home, you relax soon as you step through the door. Very peaceful which is what we like. But also not far from anything. Communication with Karol was great. The lavada walks that start about 2 min up from the villa are definitely worth a stroll, one will take you to Panoest cafe and the other way to Bar Do Papagaio.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was exactly like the description in every way and it often exceeded expectations. Spotlessly clean and amazing views out to sea. I would book again.

villa was immaculate and pool superb. The area was very peaceful with lovely views if the hills and sea below . Great walks close to hand

The house is extremely well located, in a quiet area with a stunning sea view. It is the ideal place to rest and enjoy the scenery. The house is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and worry-free stay. It was a great experience — I highly recommend it!

Beautiful, clean, open and inviting home! Jeanne and her family were wonderful hosts! Quick and easy trip into Funchal but so nice to have the privacy! Thank you so much!!

We stayed at Patricia’s villa for 9 days and had a great time. The view overlooking the ocean with the infinity pool was beautiful! We loved waking up to this gorgeous view each morning. It was also a plus that we had the use of house cleaners that came during our stay to make the place extra tidy after we stayed halfway through! All the balcony’s outside connected and lead directly to the downstairs pool. There’s also a “secret” access to the bottom of the cliff which was very cool! Everything was perfect! All in, I’d give this a 5 star stay, everyone was extremely happy and we would definitely stay again in the future! Thank you for hosting us

There was a group of 8 of us and we had the most amazing stay! The location is super close to the airport and the main town making it easy to get around. It is very private house so it feels like your own secluded space. The access to the beach is stunning and the large deck with the pool, sauna and BBQ make a perfect space to hang for the day. Would 100% recommend staying here! Thank you 😊

Beautiful house overlooking Funchal & ocean. House was well equipped with everything you may need during your stay (pool towels, baby high chair, gym equipment, fresh linens & very well stocked kitchen appliances). Short drive to shops & restaurants. The house is on a steep hill, you will likely need a car to get around town. Host was responsive and communicative. Would stay again.

Amazing space to rejuvenate and reconnect with the very special people in my life, enjoyed every inch of Grey Rock from the bespoke kitchen which had EVERYTHING you needed to cook superb dinners to the heated infinity pool over looking the ocean to the squishy cushions for the sunbeds…..we loved it!

This is how AirBNB should be. The house is stacked with everything. How often are you in an Airbnb and they only have 6 plates? Here they have 20+, they have Great knives, tons of kitchenware, enough toilet paper, plenty of dishwasher tabs and also cleaner for the washing machine. Things you normally expect but somehow got lost in the making money machine Airbnb is now. Not here!! A absolute crazy welcome basket (have not had such a big one ever), friendly crew and absolute amazing place - can only recommend

Really lovely accommodation with great views. The host was very responsive and was super helpful when we had a bit of an emergency. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay here! Incredible views. Everything you could need in the AirBnb. Very quick wifi. And great local recommendations for hikes and restaurants. Thanks again.

Karine and her family have been super sweet and helpful. We were a family of 6 spanning several generations, and the house is perfect for this. Highly recommended. Everything was new and worked flawlessly. Best recommendations from Kenneth.

We had a fantastic time on the island. In addition to the nature that makes Madeira so fascinating, we were also able to spend some very relaxing days in our accommodation. Everything was just like in the pictures, so we could start our vacation with a great feeling. The accommodation was modern, clean and very luxurious with a pool and the number of rooms, each with its own bathroom. And who wouldn't want to wake up with a view of the sea? Wonderful. Henrique was also easy to contact if we had any questions and check-in with the key box was very simple. There is a small supermarket in this small town if you need anything. Otherwise, Calheta is not far away with larger shopping facilities. There are a few restaurants within walking distance of the accommodation, although the accommodation with its large kitchen and outdoor grill is of course also perfect for a meal. Thank you for a wonderful time in Madeira, we'd love to come back!

We had a very nice stay. Our hosts were very attentive and surprised us with great little things. Our little parking problem in the garage was solved immediately. Great roof terrace with pool view of the sea. Super clean and good beds!

The aesthetic feathers upon entry made me feel like I was entering the most well worth and elegant home I could have ever dreamt about. I was really impressed with everything including the beautiful garden and if I were returning I’d stay in this villa again.

We had wonderful days at the property and would book them again anytime. There was everything you needed and very clean.
