Casa da Betty - luxurious w/aircondition

RudolfRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Wir hatten eine sehr gute Zeit in Bettys Wohnung. Tolle Stube mit angrenzendem Balkon mit herrlichem Blick aufs Meer. Grosszügige und top ausgestattete Küche mit allem drum und dran. Auch die Zimmer waren perfekt ausgestattet und wir fühlten uns wie zu Hause. Die Wohnung befindet sich in Zentrumsnähe und somit in "städtischem" Umfeld. Wer absolute Ruhe sucht, muss in die Berge ;-). Die Kommunikation mit Betty war perfekt und immer sehr zeitnah. Danke für alles!!!

The Song of the Sea (Ocean View)

Christine HelenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

b view apartment

NathalieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Prachtig modern appartement met alle voorzieningen. Zeer mooi, stijlvol én praktisch ingericht. Ook de parkeerplaats onder het gebouw is zeer handig. Rooftop zwembad met prachtig uitzicht. Gym is klein en was helaas niet geopend. Het verblijf ligt in het centrum dus wel het nodige verkeer maar niet storend. Momenteel zijn er bouwwerken vlak naast het gebouw maar de geluidshinder is beperkt. Kortom, een zeer mooie accommodatie in een levendige omgeving. De hosts geven goede tips én reageerden meteen bij vragen.

ThorstenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

Renala I - Charming Apartment "With Jacuzzi"

MonikaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

The View, Funchal

LoriRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!!

Casa dos Francelhos, the charming house of Funchal

IsmoRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

House pc / piscina interior privada

LisaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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%.

Tropical house :) 2 min to the sea, views, nature

DavidRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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.

Refúgio do Tibéu

MargotRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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 !

Amazing sea and city views, top location

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a fantastic stay in Funchal! The apartment was spacious, spotless, and perfectly located—right above the marina with amazing views of the ocean and the city. It was so convenient to walk everywhere. One of our favorite features was the large outdoor patio—perfect for enjoying breakfast in the morning or cocktails in the evening. We felt right at home and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Madeira!

AmyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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 :)

Whitehouse408 Sw.Pool & Pvt. Parking

BethRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

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.

Luxury 3 Bedroom Flat with Sea View Terrace

CindyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Penthouse Marina Sol 20785/AL

KeithRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at Nelson's apartment. Communication was excellent and pro-acitive, check in was easy and so was parking in the big car park across the street (we didn't bother with the basement car park). The place was much bigger than I'd imagined from the photos and spotlessly clean. Everything worked; we couldn't find the button to turn on the coffee maker but Nelson responded within minutes. My only negative about the apartment is that the bed is quite hard (and other have mentioned this too). There is a road next to the apartment block, but after about 9pm there is little or no traffic so all we heard was the sound of the waves on the beach below. Madalena do Mar is a small village, there are several bars and restaurants, but no shop. The area is surrounded by banana plantations. We used the apartment as a base to go hiking in the centre and west of the island, having spent a few days in Funchal before we arrived there.
