Casa Linhares
We stayed 13 nights at Fatima's. We've never had a place so clean! The accommodation is damp but Fatima makes sure that we are as comfortable as possible (spare sheets, towels in large quantities, etc.). The apartment is very well equipped, we did not lack anything. The views are splendid! Fatima and her family know how to welcome us, they are very kind and very responsive to our requests. The only negative point, but which is minimal compared to the full potential of the accommodation, is the sound insulation. The ceiling is just a floor and we can hear Fatima and her family walking if we stay in the apartment during the day. The noise never woke us up or prevented us from falling asleep. We highly recommend this accommodation and now know where to stay if we have the opportunity to return to visit the beautiful island of Madeira.

Ocean panorama on the top floor
I would recommend this spacious apartment of Beatrice without hesitation with two very nice terraces with a beautiful view... Well-equipped, good location... Paulo and Beatrice are very responsive by messages Top with optional private parking

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.

Beautiful Views - Apartment Fontes
The place was beautiful in a very quiet location with stunning views. Everything was clean and furnished with love so that you can only feel comfortable from the first moment. It had everything you need, we also loved the many kitchen utensils and the grill, which we used every day. The terrace with whirlpool, lounge, loungers and table were the highlight. We spent a lot of time in the accommodation because we felt so comfortable. The beach Calheta is 5 minutes by car easy to reach and highly recommended. We also loved the private parking. Bruno and Maria are very accommodating and also asked how we are doing and if we need anything. The location was perfect for us, very quiet, lots of privacy and yet we can get everywhere by car. Many thanks to Bruno and Maria. We will be happy to come back. Best regards and see you next time. David and Sabrina

Uni AIR Studio
Great stay! We saw this apartment and after booked tickets for flights, view is fantastic and all needed is inside apartment! Sunsets are attractive and view to the ocean from the bed is amazing!

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.

Modern & New Studio w/ Pool & Oceanside View | G 🌟
We had a great time at Germano's. It's his parents who manage the accommodation, and they took great care to ensure that our stay went smoothly! Thank you again. The accommodation is impeccable, spacious, perfectly equipped. The views are superb and the pool is a real plus! There are plenty of good restaurants around, we enjoyed the calm and the very peaceful side of Jardim do Mar with nice walks. We found it hard to leave! A gem if you're looking for a unique place in Madeira for your vacation!

Renala I "With Jacuzzi" by PAUSA Holiday Rentals
We really enjoyed our stay in Madeira. This was the perfect home base for exploring the island. This home was amazing; larger and greater than expected. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of hiking and exploring. I would definitely recommend this to others and would love to stay here again!

Small house in Madeira, Portugal
A big place at a very reasonable price, tucked away in a nice spot but still very close to amenities. I followed up on many of Monica's recommendations and they were all fantastic! If this place is available, I highly recommend booking it!

Casa do Penique ORGANIC
We felt very relaxed and comfortable at Antonio’s lovely house and the garden and views were impressive. We appreciated the interesting features in the garden with its nature feel and enjoyed the pool and sauna which we thought was a real asset for the place. The house is interesting and cared about and Antionio was an excellent and helpful host. We were glad of the car we hired to access shops, restaurants, beach and walking areas as without one would be difficult but it suited us really well as 4 adults who wanted a base from which to explore Madeira.

Casa Abreu bright and stylish, sea, nature & relax
A lovely property with a beautiful view in a quiet and peaceful part of the island. Jose was very kind and super accommodating to a last minute change we required. We had a wonderful time!

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.

Casa dos Francelhos, the charming house of Funchal
This was by far the best AirBnB we’ve ever stayed in. Antonio was so helpful from the very beginning (he sent lots of info ahead of our arrival), made sure we could check in in the morning after our early flight and welcomed us personally at his lovely house with pool and all amenities one could look for (specifically in the kitchen and bathrooms, where we found all types of equipment, shampoo, tissues etc). The beds were comfortable, the view was stunning. We were a group of 6 and enjoyed cooking together (particularly barbecuing outdoors), but the house offered many peaceful corners for each of us to relax in, too. We also really appreciated Antonio‘s recommendations for hikes and other things to do on the island. Thanks a lot for everything!!

Sea House
A great house in a beautiful location! You can't get any closer to the sea and the sound of the sea accompanies you day and night. The house is very tastefully decorated and super clean. You make yourself at home straight away! Constantino is very helpful and has great tips. Without him, we would never have found the little beach in Seixal... We were here 14 days and enjoyed every minute. Thank you, Constantino!

North Coast Cabana
This atypical accommodation on several floors is very beautiful and perfectly well appointed. We took advantage of the 3 outdoor spaces. Appreciated welcome with a nice touch on arrival (flowers, wine, beer, water, chocolate). We were also well advised for our outings and restaurants. Note: Not easy for me to park properly in the parking space but it is possible to park in a parking lot down the street. We are delighted with our stay at Adriana's

Refúgio do Tibéu
The place was perfect and lived up to our expectations. Quiet neighborhood and good location. Luis was very welcoming and gave good local recommendations. We highly recommend it!

Madeira Palace Sea View
Absolutely Stunning Apartment with Unbeatable Views! This was, without a doubt, the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the absolutely stunning apartment. It was incredibly well-equipped with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The beautiful location was a real highlight, boasting amazing sea views from the balcony that we enjoyed every single day. The lovely swimming pools on site were a fantastic bonus, perfect for a refreshing dip. Our hosts, Mariana and Ricardo, were so welcoming and helpful, always on hand to answer any questions and offer local tips. The great wifi was a practical plus, and we loved that the apartment was within walking distance to the main shops, making everything so convenient. We had a truly wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Thank you, Mariana and Ricardo, for a memorable stay!

Amazing sea and city views, top location
Maria’s 8th-floor apartment was perfect! Super clean, spacious, and the balcony had amazing views of the marina, Santa Catarina park, and the city. It has two bedrooms — one with a double bed, the other with two singles — both with private bathrooms and closets. There are three bathrooms total, all spotless. The kitchen had everything, plus a dishwasher and coffee machine. Laura, who welcomed us, was so kind and helpful. She messaged me before arrival, arranged parking, explained everything in the apartment, and even brought us a big bottle of water and fresh coffee capsules the next day. She also gave great local tips. The building has great security and private parking. Honestly, the whole stay was smooth and comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Madeira — close to everything!

Surfside apartment in the heart of Paúl do Mar
Wonderful apartment right on the ocean. The apartment was very spacious and has everything you need. Also has easy parking just outside. An extra bonus is all the great restaurants nearby!

Whitehouse408 Sw.Pool & Pvt. Parking
Wonderful host, kind and friendly, great recommendations, great place!

New dream luxury appartment in the Madeira Palace.
This condo was beautiful, clean, and had an amazing view. Plenty of seating, close to a grocery store and many restaurants. The infinity pool which looked over the ocean was lovely. We would definitely recommend.

Luxury 3 Bedroom Flat with Sea View Terrace
We had a great time at Miguel and Ana’s place. They have a beautiful condo close to the sea and with a lovely balcony and view. Very spacious and a nice location. Overall, loved it!

Jasmineiro | Serra - Ocean View Studio
We booked a room with a view and boy did we get a room with a view. With that view and the cleanliness of the room you hardly have to go outside to have a great vacation. But if you don’t want to do that you can also walk to the city center and the boulevard. If you rented a car you get plenty of private and free parking (even with a cat!). The host was a big help and made everything very easy. We are really happy with our stay and can recommend it to everyone!
