Waterfront vacation rentals in Praia Formosa

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.

Tout d’abord, le logement est impeccable, et quoi dire de la vue. De plus, ce sont des hôtes formidables. Nous avons passé un très beau séjour. Je recommande!

We have had the most wonderful holiday in Beautiful Madeira. Yana's apartment is absolutely amazing and the view was something else !!!! After a busy day to arrive back to this apartment and sit relaxing on the balcony was all that you needed. The view was never the same either calm seas or amazing waves and also looking over to Funchal Town. Lots of lovely restaurants near. Forum Mall a short walk away with lots of shops and a great supermarket. The walk into Funchal Town was about 50 mins but we used local buses which were cheap to use. Amazing treks ..waterfalls..coastline..worth going on an organised tour. We would recommend Yana's apartment 100%..we will most definitely return.

one of the best apartments i have booked via AirBnB. Beautiful view from bedroom and kitchen. Can recommend this one for everyone! :)

Vi tilbragte 4 uger i Emanuels lejlighed. Gåafstand til indkøb, bycentrum og havnefront. Diverse busruter lige rundt om hjørnet. Vi følte os meget velkomne og de små praktiske problemer, der opstod undervejs, blev løst med det samme. Grundet beliggenheden er der en del trafikstøj, men når det blev for meget, lukkede vi vinduer og altandør - og så var det ok. Emanuel er en fin vært, der svarede meget hurtigt på spørgsmål. Vi blev modtaget meget venligt og fik god instruktion. Tilmed fik vi lokale smagsprøver :-) Vi kan varmt anbefale et ophold hos Emanuel.

Die gesamte Anlage ist der sehr sauber und ruhig. Die Wohnung ist modern und klar geschnitten. Die Ausstattung der Küche für einfaches Kochen gut ausgestattet. Leider liegt der Balkon den ganzen Tag im Schatten (Reisezeitraum im Februar), im Sommer ist man damit bestimmt gut aufgehoben. Wenn man Sonne möchte geht man ein wenig und ist am Pool. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

The apartment is spacious and very comfortable. The view from the terrace is beautiful. The location is great. It’s quiet. The stairs across the street gets you down to the town in 5 minutes- it’s a climb to get back up. Ribeira Brava is a good location to explore Madeira and it’s away from the hustle and bustle of Funchal.

We have just returned home from a wonderful stay here! Highly recommend! Felt like a true home away from home!Exactly what we had pictured! Steve was a great communicator from the very beginning. Wonderful location to explore the entire island. We had a car rental ( highly recommended) and always had a spot right out front. My husband and I were traveling with our adult son and the second bedroom was super private with its own bathroom. Loved having a washing machine for a quick load! The house is brand new.. every amenity you could want! Only regret was we were so busy hiking, exploring, and sightseeing we didn’t spend a whole lot of time at the house! Would definitely stay here again !! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!!

Majoituimme Casa dos Francelhosissa, meitä oli seitsemän aikuista. Tilat olivat erinomaiset. Antonio otti meidät vastaan ystävällisesti, opasti kaiken tarvittavan huvilasta, mutta myös antoi mahtavia vinkkejä Madeiran nähtävyyksistä, kaupoista, ruokailupaikosta ja liikkumisesta. Viikko meni muakavasti huvilassa, jossa on mm. kolme kylpyhuonetta sisällä ja neljäs ulkona. Meitä odotti mm. hedelmävadit, tervetuliasviinit sekä kauniit kukat. Kaikki toimi loistavasti. Ulkoterassi ja uima-allasalueoli todella viihtyisä ja kaunis. Viikon aikana myös grillasimme ulkogrillissä. Huvilan sijainti on loistava, alue on rauhallinen ja näkymä merelle kaunis, kävelimme päivittäin keskustaan. Takaisinpäin otimme usein taksin, nuoriso käveli takaisin ja sai hyötyliikuntaa. Takseja sai keskustasta hyvin, Pingo-kaupan uloskäynnin vieressä niitä odotti aina useita. Bolt toimi hyvin myös. Voimme suositella lämpimästi Casa dos Francelhosta!

Beautiful house! Amazing host, Paula makes sure everything is great. She even dropped by in the evening to bring new sheets when our baby threw up on our bed. Too sweet. Also the communication with her was the best ever. Big pool, great garden to have morning coffee in the sun, lovely village on walking distance. Good to know that the water pressure of the showers are a bit low, we were able to get a good shower anyway. Paula is super flexible, we were allowed to stay in the house until our flight left that day because there was not a guest coming that day or the next. All in all we would recommend Paula’s place 1000%.

Outstanding hospitality and overall impeccable accomodation. Grateful for our beautiful vacation!

Liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtetes Häuschen, in dem wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt haben. Super Lage zur Erkundung des Nordwesten Madeiras und sehr netter Kontakt mit Adriana.

Das Ferienhaus war fantastisch. Es war ruhig. Man konnte sehr gut schlafen. Die Sonnenuntergänge vom Wohnzimmer aus waren atemberaubend. Man kriegt Hunger auf Bananen, weil überall Bananen Bäume zu sehen sind. Der Gastgeber hat super Empfehlungen gemacht und immer direkt die Google Maps Koordinaten. Danke für die tolle und persönliche Unterkunft.

au top, maison superbe avec un panorama magnifique, piscine très bien. proximité immédiate de ribeira braviz pour les courses et les restaurants. très bon emplacement pour découvrir Madère. et en plus Gomez est très accueillant. bref , a recommander

Logement confortable, bien équipé, bien situé pour découvrir l'île et profiter de la plage en rentrant le soir. Hôte accueillant et disponible si besoin. La rue menant au logement est abrupte, cela peut être impressionnant si vous n'êtes pas à l'aise avec la conduite. Nous avons apprécié cueillir les oranges du jardin pour le petit déjeuner. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour !

Great penthouse in the middle of everything. The harbour in front, the old town on the right, a park on the left and the shopping centre behind. It is a really big apartment with a great terrace. It has two bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen. Parking is available in the garage below the building. There are many very good restaurants within walking distance. It was a personal welcome and we were given an introduction to the accommodation. It was a very nice stay and we can really recommend this apartment.

This place took our breath away as soon as we walked inside. Very special to be able to enjoy coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening on the balcony overlooking the water. Location was great to explore this beautiful island. We made our own meals in the kitchen and didn’t feel like we were missing anything. Definitely would recommend :)

Sehr angenehme Kommunikation, schnelle Reaktion. Gute Erreichbarkeit mit dem Auto, Tiefgaragenplatz inklusive. Nahe am Stadtzentrum, tolle Restaurants in der Nähe, auch zu Fuss gut erreichbar. Tolle Empfehlungen der Gastgeberin. Sehr schöne, geräumige Wohnung, gut eingerichtet, hat alles was man so braucht. Sehr sauber!

The apartment is in a great location. Tonnes of mixed restaurants nearby (some tourists may prefer if you want home comforts and others authentic Portuguese food) all just a walk away. A short walk to many local supermarkets too which is helpful when you need to quickly grab things. Private pool which was never busy and always quiet! We rented a car and the parking in the apartment is so accessible. We used the apartment as a base for many hikes so drove various distances from here to explore Madeira. Excellent host, great apartment and would stay in this airbnb next visit.

We were extremely comfortable and thought the location was perfect walkable to restaurants, grocery store, deus store and some shopping. Close to attractions in city.

Beautiful apartment, clean, very spacious and wonderful views. The terrace is an amazing bonus, great for relaxing, sunbathing and eating. It has plenty of seating options and even a BBQ. The inside was also very comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious with lots of storage. We spent 2 weeks there and found it the perfect base from which to explore Madeira.

This was the perfect place for my family of 4 for 5 nights. Roberto met us for check-in and guided us into the garage, easy to park and utilize the remote control. From there you access the elevator to the 5th floor. The condo is exactly as it looks in the pictures. Our 2 adult children were with us and the room situation was ideal. The weather could have been better, lots of rain, wind mixed with some sun. I chose this over some other homes because of the amazing patio with a view, we didn't use that much due to rain.We ate at Francos the second night, which is around the corner, it was good, but we discovered the streets closer to the water and hotels, and ate in that area the next three nights. We also found a great breakfast/coffee shop called the LOFT in the same area, super yummy and so reasonable. The kitchen was fine, and worked for breakfast on a few days. Good to know there is a washer, but no dryer, so you have a drying rack. We loved our stay here!

We hebben een hele goede tijd gehad in het appartement van Nelson en Paula. Het is er heel ruim, zeer goed voorzien van alles wat je nodig zou kunnen hebben. Maar het mooiste is toch het prachtige uitzicht op zee en de bergen. Het is een levendige locatie met een prima hamburger tent op de parkeerplaats voor het appartement en genoeg restaurantjes in de buurt. We hebben veel gewandeld in de omgeving, maar vonden het ook leuk om de hike tussen de bananenbomen in Madalena do Mar te doen. Communicatie was uitstekend. Er is een nieuw bed en dat is prima! Het appartement is beslist een aanrader!
