Cottage vacation rentals in Madeira Island

We had a wonderful time at Emanuels place. He was a wonderful host, very helpful with recommendations and showing how everything worked. The view from his place is incredible. We spent almost every evening on the terrace, enjoying the view of the ocean and Ribeira Brava. What a wonderful place! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

All v good - as described.

Photos do not do this place justice! Incredible, incredible place. Thank you

A nice and cosy countryhouse, detailed video instructions.

Fantastic views from the garden. The host was super helpful and quick to respond. There was a very generous welcome gift of fruits and local produce.

We had the privilege of renting this efficient and comfortable home for a month. Mary is an extraordinary host. Directions were precise, information was thorough and she was available to offer assistance, and answer questions at any time. Fresh citrus trees were available for picking just off the generous patio. We enjoyed the hot tub and having a washer and dryer and outdoor clothes rack. The Poncha Bar down the street is the best!!! Mary’s husband Joseph is the owner/bartender/coffee maker and general store manager….he does it all! Joseph’s Poncha is hands down the best we found on the island! A safe and welcoming neighborhood, in a central location on a stunning island.

We had a great stay. Unfortunately, during our stay, a glass lid fell from the cupboard above the stove, onto the stove. It was broken. Immediately reported and arranged with the owner. Very nice. Furthermore, the location is great, it is very quiet and beautiful. You are exactly on the right sunny side of Madeira. The cocktail bar a little further, pukiki, is within walking distance and very nice to go to. Shops are close by, beach is close by and the beautiful hiking trails are perfect to drive to. There is no air conditioning, I think that if it gets warmer you will notice the heat but there is a fan. The beds by the pool had collapsed, we just used our outdoor chairs. Everything in the cottage is otherwise in order. No great luxury but perfect for the price, the location and everything you need is present.

Pretty cottage on the heights of Sao Jorge. Comfortable, well-decorated, we only occupied it with two but it can accommodate 5 people. Great location for hiking departures. Two good restaurants nearby: Casa de Palha and Aeréo cafe (delicious beef skewers with an amazing view of the terrace).

The accomodation was nice, soooo quiet and peaceful. Only the bird chirping we can hear during our stay. the view from the covered terace was amazing. it was easy to reach the house by car. We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage.

The house is perfect. Only minus was the road renovation project, 2 times during our stay. To walk the dog nearby was a small problem, but driving further solved the problem. Veronica answered our questions promptly. Thank you for a good holiday. Small villages nearby are worth visiting, Ponta do Sol as well is very interesting.

12/10 - best Airbnb we ever stayed at! Great place to unwind and just be. The location and views are unreal. The cottage was so pretty and perfect to detail. We immediately felt like home. Paula and Dustin showed impeccable hospitality and were always there to help. Our highlights: The pool and outside kitchen area (bbq and pizza oven included) as well as the private patio for romantic breakfasts with a view and stunning sunsets.

If you're looking for a quiet area to get away from the crowds in the cities this is a wonderful place. It's nestled in the mountain valleys near Ponta do Prago but quite near the ocean. We loved our 6 day stay at Frederica 's. She provided good, clear instructions to get there. She also gave us very useful information on local attractions, restaurants and supermarkets. The house is on a very steep pitched road so walking up and down it can be a challenge ( we are in our 70's ) We did it a few times. There is a walk from her house to the waterfalls . It took us about 2 hrs. Rnd-trip but it was well worth it. If we were to return we'd go back in April or later.

Perfect for a couple. Walk to Marina and shopping . Views are unmatched! We enjoyed ( and marveled at the view) every minute! Small pool is very good for a quick dip . BBQ grill a real plus - we used it several times. Kitchen well appointed ( perhaps obtain a larger coffee maker?) All in all - excellent.

Our stay here was absolutely magical! The surroundings were so peaceful and beautiful, which made for a great coffee spot in the morning alongside the two dogs on the property! The pool was also great and well maintained. Would highly recommend staying here.

We felt very comfortable in Domingo's house. We especially liked the view from the two terraces of the bay and the sea (even more beautiful than in the photos!) The house is quietly located in a narrow and steep one-way street. It is very spacious and clean and very well equipped with plenty of dishes, pots, towels, etc. Next to the terrace there is an extra grill room with another kitchen and access to the garden from which we were allowed to pick herbs. Although the street is narrow and steep, parking was not a problem - the walk into the village takes 20 - 30 minutes depending on your condition. The contact with the manager was very friendly and reliable. We were greeted personally and very warmly and as a welcome greeting there was a large package of wine, fresh eggs, bananas, cookies and cakes. The house is a good starting point to explore the west of the island and we can gladly recommend it. Obrigada!

Great stay in a beautiful and quiet house What a nice place! The house is even more beautiful than in the photos and the description actually falls short. It is very quiet with a beautiful view — ideal to unwind. Everything was perfectly maintained and sparkling clean. The kitchen is fully equipped, you really have everything you need. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and we were unable to enjoy the outdoor space due to the rain. We would have loved to stay here much longer. Highly recommended!

Regina’s house is sparkling clean, elegant and with breathtaking review. It is defiantly the best Airbnb we had in Madeira! Regina is super considerate and shows super care to her guest, we were welcomed with fresh bread (very yammy!!) and local wine and groceries which made our first day a easy one. We were able to cook traditional dishes “Espetada Madeirense” using the BBQ. The house has everything you will need for a comfortable stay and you won’t need to go anywhere else, the view on the deck is unbeatable!

Thank you so much to Costa and Siestke, their home is beautiful and was our perfect base - we were so happy to have slow mornings there and return home there in the evening after exploring the island. Porto de Cruz is a great little village with the old rum factory and beaches, we really loved our stay here. Costa ans Sietske were so gracious, sharing the history of the building and local recommendations, it was a pleasure to meet both of them. Thank you so much for everything! 10/10 highly recommend, especially if you want a cosy, authentic place to yourself on the island. Perfect!

Beautiful location great for surfing!! And one of the best air bnbs I have stayed at!

Lovely house, great furniture, good Internet. We especially loved the sun room. The house is in a compound with two other houses, but we only saw the neighbors once. Only downside: we were there in April and it was foggy and we could not get the cold & moisture out of the house no matter what we did.
