Cottage vacation rentals in Ponta do Sol

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.

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment – it was just as beautiful as in the photos. The location was perfect for exploring the island and setting off on hikes. The whirlpool was a real highlight after long days outdoors. Vanda was always available, very proactive, and incredibly helpful whenever we had questions. Highly recommended!

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.

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 was satisfactory for all of us guests, well served, clean and everything worked perfectly

We can clearly say: this was the most beautiful Airbnb we've ever stayed in!!! The location, the property, the pool and above all: the beautiful little cottage. Every detail is right, so tasteful and authentic, beautiful materials, no element too much or too little. To fall in love! Normally, we almost always go out for breakfast and eat, here we have often preferred to stay on the beautiful porch. Dustin and Paula were always there for us and made sure we always had everything we needed. We will be happy to come back!!!

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.

We spent two wonderful weeks at Maria's fantastic accommodation. Everything was very nice, tidy, and clean. The garden was beautiful, and we had a wonderful time. We definitely recommend this accommodation. Maria is also super friendly and helpful. Check-in was easy, and the accommodation was easy to find.

This place is amazing! In the middle of the mouintains and almost no one around - felt magical ! Nice view of the ocean with green surrounding. It is also close to the small village with good coffee :) House looks like in the pictures, cozy, big and clean. Garden is well kept with many areas to hang out. We have the worst weather but with two electric heaters it was warm inside. The host was friendly, helped us with all issues that we asked and made this holidays really easy-going for us :) thanks! Highly recommended for memorable and relaxed holidays :) PS The swimming pool can be heated but it costs 45€/day and it has to be heated for at least 5 days.

Our wonderful host Sofia stopped by before we left and said “Isn’t it magical?” … it sure is and more. You will need nothing; you will want nothing more; you may forget all your plans to hike, find miradouro’s, and explore, because Villa Papaya is simply mesmerizing and keeps you in your happy place. If you must leave this Villa, it is close enough to just about everywhere you’ll want to go. José and Sofia are excellent at what they do; take advantage of this opportunity if you can, It’s Magical!

It was a very Nice stay , quite in the evening and morning ,tho quite close by all needs ! Would stay here again!

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!

Exceptional stay! I had a perfect time at this place. The apartment was clean, well-equipped and tastefully decorated. Everything matched the listing, if not better! The neighborhood is quite, nice. A big thank you to the host, very responsive, welcoming and caring. We feel that she really cares that everything goes smoothly. I would recommend it without so much as a second thought and I will come back without hesitation if the opportunity arises.

Everything was just perfect! The view and balcony were incredible! The bed was very comfortable.
