Villa vacation rentals in Sao Goncalo

Wow! Where to start? The whole place was absolutely amazing, so much space and so private - we had the best holiday. The best part of the whole trip (especially for the kids) was the swimming pool - we were in the pool for up to 2 hours some evenings (would definitely recommend taking the option to get it heated), and being able to eat on the decking right next to the pool was perfect too. Would also recommend hiring a car (as we did) to get into Funchal, around the island or to the local shops....

We had a wonderful stay—the house is just like on the pictures. Great location away from busy roads, yet just a few minutes drive from Funchal. The views are stunning, and the pool fantastic. We really appreciated the sense of privacy and security in a gated community. While we had some technical issues with the house, the landlord was very responsive and quick to solve.

We loved the house, every room has a badroom. Great kitchen. We injoid the swimming pool and sauna. The communication with the LovelyStay was fast and easy.

The house is spacious, very well-equipped and totally as advertised. The sea view is absolutely stunning, and the calm that reigns around it makes it a perfect place to unwind. The rooms are comfortable, some with balconies offering great views, and the modern kitchen has everything you need. The location is also an asset: quite central, it allows you to reach the farthest corners of the island in less than an hour. The host was extremely kind and punctual at the time of our arrival, which greatly facilitated our check-in. Great welcome! We highly recommend this villa for a peaceful and pleasant stay in Madeira.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The view and surroundings are amazing. The house itself is very spacious and accomodating. The host is very communicative and helpful. He provided information about the area and checked in on us regularly. We felt really well taken care of. Thank you for being such a great host!

The Casa was way more than we expected and even better than the pictures promised. Both of the rooms were super pretty and each one had their own bathroom. The kitchen was very well equipped and we had everything we needed to make ourselves some breakfast or dinner. The view from the terrace was absolutely stunning and the Casa is a calm place to come down. As some other visitors already stated a rental car is an absolute must but this is standard once you want to stay outside of Funchal and/or want to get around this beautiful island. Julien was always very helpful and friendly. Definitely one of the best Airbnbs I had so far. We would be happy to get the chance to come back one day!

Well what can I say about abor villa- By far the best air bnb we have ever stayed in. Absolutely exceptional and decorated beautifully, so artistic and clean and akin to a boutique hotel. Emma was a fantastic host, she made the whole stay exceptional for our young family. Personal touches such as a mini chair for our two year old with suitable cutlery, cups etc ready for us, even taking the trouble to remove the legs of the children’s bed so not too high from the ground. She provided a box of toys for our children and ensured staples were ready for us after a late flight so that the children had food and milk- something we whole heartedly appreciated. The position of the villa was ideal- close to the capital, excellent views , close to restaurants and local towns and ideally situated so easy to get to the northern sites of the island which really wasn’t far when renting a car. Emma was easily reachable and offered lots of recommendations. The pool and views exceptional, we will return!

Very nice place to stay at The host Miguel is kind and friendly as well as the neighbour Very welcoming, we had a very good time Thank you

A beautiful place, peaceful and with stunning views. The host Jun pays attention to the details when it comes to the amenities which makes all the difference. It was a perfect, restful stay, would highly recommend.

Just returned from a 4 night stay at Kents apartment with a group of friends. Apartment was spacious with great views over Funchal. The apartment is around 10 minutes taxi drive or bus journey (takes a little longer) from the centre of Funchal or up to the tropical gardens at Monte. There is a little shop for essentials around 10 minutes walk away, just a step hill walk back up. Kent was an excellent communicator from first booking. Would definitely recommend.

The property easily lives up to the description and the pictures. The houses are fully equipped, very nicely decorated and comfortable. The swimming pools offer stunning unobstructed views of the ocean during the day and of the sky at night. There are no road noises, the place is truly calm. Grocery stores are a few minutes away by car, as are restaurants. Numerous hikes can be found in the region. The host is very reactive and will provide many recommandations related to restaurants and activities. Renting both houses to two families is a great way to spend time together while also having some privacy. I would go back there without any hesitation.

Blue Sea Tower & Guest Cottage in Fajã da Ovelha is a unique place that offers a unique experience. Nestled amongst breathtaking landscapes, it provides guests with peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The property combines modern amenities with the charm of traditional Maderian architecture while offering spectacular ocean and mountain views. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and decorated to a high standard, and the space itself is well-equipped, which makes your stay a real pleasure. An additional advantage is the heated pool, which allows you to enjoy relaxation all year round, no matter the weather. The owners and staff are extremely welcoming, taking care of every detail so that guests feel at home. Blue Sea Tower & Guest Cottage is the perfect place for those seeking a respite surrounded by nature, while appreciating comfort, high quality service, and additional amenities. It's a real pearl on Madeira's map!

Beautiful, clean, open and inviting home! Jeanne and her family were wonderful hosts! Quick and easy trip into Funchal but so nice to have the privacy! Thank you so much!!

A beautiful property in great nature. Our family felt very comfortable. Thank you!

There was a group of 8 of us and we had the most amazing stay! The location is super close to the airport and the main town making it easy to get around. It is very private house so it feels like your own secluded space. The access to the beach is stunning and the large deck with the pool, sauna and BBQ make a perfect space to hang for the day. Would 100% recommend staying here! Thank you 😊

One of the best I’ve ever stayed at. The place was so spacious and open, yet felt like at home and cozy. Everything we needed was readily available/ easily accessible. The home is perched up in Ponta do Sol, so the view is of the homes below, and then the drop off to the ocean. Private pool was clean and big enough for our family of 7. Private parking is a gamechanger anywhere in Portugal, and you have a whole driveway which fit our enormous van. Lots of good hikes in every direction so you never feel like you’re driving too much, everything is about 40 minutes from this location, even the other side of the island. Host was so great responsive despite the hour difference from where she is located. Thank you so much for our stay we loved it.

This is how AirBNB should be. The house is stacked with everything. How often are you in an Airbnb and they only have 6 plates? Here they have 20+, they have Great knives, tons of kitchenware, enough toilet paper, plenty of dishwasher tabs and also cleaner for the washing machine. Things you normally expect but somehow got lost in the making money machine Airbnb is now. Not here!! A absolute crazy welcome basket (have not had such a big one ever), friendly crew and absolute amazing place - can only recommend

Great stay! The accommodation is spectacular, large spaces and very bright. Located in a quiet area, but within walking distance of restaurants and a small full grocery store.

We had a fantastic time on the island. In addition to the nature that makes Madeira so fascinating, we were also able to spend some very relaxing days in our accommodation. Everything was just like in the pictures, so we could start our vacation with a great feeling. The accommodation was modern, clean and very luxurious with a pool and the number of rooms, each with its own bathroom. And who wouldn't want to wake up with a view of the sea? Wonderful. Henrique was also easy to contact if we had any questions and check-in with the key box was very simple. There is a small supermarket in this small town if you need anything. Otherwise, Calheta is not far away with larger shopping facilities. There are a few restaurants within walking distance of the accommodation, although the accommodation with its large kitchen and outdoor grill is of course also perfect for a meal. Thank you for a wonderful time in Madeira, we'd love to come back!

Sonia was extremely friendly at check in and recommended many things in the area for us. The villa had everything we needed and was perfect for 2 adults and a 1 year old. Would definitely recommend Sonia’s place for a relaxing break in Madeira, thanks again!

Beautiful home in a very serene setting. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. We had alot of rain while we were there but loved spending time on the rooftop deck area and enjoyed the heated pool. The only downfall is there is not alot to do within walking distance. You definitely need a car. The main highway is very close which makes it convenient to explore the island. Definitely reccomend to eat at the family barbecue restaurant up the road (Restaurante Perreira) So delicious, beautiful setting and nice people!

The view from the garden was truly beautiful. The cottage is so close to the sea that you could hear the surf in your bedroom. Otherwise, it was very quiet. A wonderful swimming pool and garden with different seats and also sunbeds so you could always choose where you wanted to sit. There was even a BBQ!

We had wonderful days at the property and would book them again anytime. There was everything you needed and very clean.

Everything was perfect. The cottage is overcomplete. It is not a holiday home but a home. Contact with the host will be picked up quickly and clearly. The view is stunning. The wifi is good, the children were very happy with that.
