Family-friendly vacation rentals in São Martinho

Stayed for 6 nights in April. The house, it's location and Seixal were all fantastic. The heated pool was a real luxury and brilliant to see it in included in the price.

Leonel and his wife have created a cluster of wonderful apartments born out of absolute passion and love for the region and his family’s heritage. My wife and I stayed in the 3-bedroom apartment with its own private roof terrace overlooking the outdoor pool. The accommodation is located amongst the towering lush green mountain scape. The kitchen is really well equipped with an oven, microwave, hobs and double sink. A stunning location & apartment. Beware that no paper products can be flushed down the toilet, so there’s a separate bin for this…

Three generations from Granny at 67 to 4 year old grandson had a wonderful stay in this lovely house. So spacious with smaller seating areas for a little quiet time, fantastic pool and views of the ocean and sunsets. Shady spots in the garden or full sunshine and beautiful outside dining area. The kitchen was big enough for us all and the open cooking fire a bonus to our barbeque fan. It was well equipped with plenty of cutlery, glasses, etc. Lovely welcome fruit bowl - the bananas were the best ever - milk, cake, wine, beer, teabags, condiments and dishwasher tablets all there ready for us. The back kitchen with washing machines and drier and a brilliant sink for scrubbing muddy shoes after one of our lavada walks. Perfect Granny and Grandad suite on ground floor with huge shower, multiple bathrooms on the other floors and Maria stayed to help us reconfigure the beds to fit our family groups. A car is essential to get the most out of this beautiful island. We loved it - thank you!

I think this is one of the best scenic app on the island. I have not seen such spectacular sunsets anywhere. The pool is perfect for swimming after tours. There is also a gym, overlooking the ocean that my husband used. The only thing to know is that it's a good idea to bring earplugs because a garbage truck arrives across from the bedroom quite early in the morning. But that shouldn't discourage you from booking. Graca is also a flexible host and allowed us to stay 4 hours longer because we had a late evening flight. Thank you!

Leonel is super friendly and helpful. The apartment is clean and in the quiet area. It was hard to leave, especially the SPA and swimming pool :( Big parking space, highly recommended!

We enjoyed the house very much, it has a perfect location, we would book it again anytime.

Our stay went wonderful! Extremely modern, spacious, well-equipped, and clean. We were very impressed with the level of preparation! Very good location. Close to main road, market, restaurant. Wonderful ocean view from the deck and bedroom windows. Thank you very much and we recommend!

This was our second stay in this apartment. We loved our first stay and that is why we came again.

We had a wonderful vacation at Casa da Janela! The house is beautiful, very cozy and perfect for family moments. It was impeccably clean, well-equipped and full of little details that made us feel truly at home. The landscape is simply relaxing — with stunning mountain and ocean views. The soft sound of the waves and the absolute calm were the perfect setting to recharge. The location is excellent: isolated enough to ensure total tranquility, but close to everything we needed. A big thank you to the hosts, who were always attentive and available.

Very comfortable and spacious apartment, despite being in the center very quiet and quiet. The balcony overlooking an interior garden allowed you to relax at breakfast. Excellent location for touring Funchal walking and for excursions to the whole island. Parking in the back supermarket parking at a low cost. Highly recommended this apartment.

Lovely appartement! Well-equipped; things like blender and even hiking sticks etc were present. Rodrigo is a great host and helps when needed! Appartement is really private. So you are not disturbed by anyone (except the cute little cat). You need a car when staying here.

Incredible location and convenient for 2!

We had a great stay and the location is sensational. There was everything you needed and we were also set up the travel cot before arrival.

One of our best AirBnBs ever. Exactly as advertise, Sofia's place is large, comfortable and beautifully situated. Jardim do Mar is our favourite spot on our favorite island. Would return to Sofia's place again and again - unfortunately next year renovation is planned but the current house is wonderful. Sofia is extremely helpful and responsive - I don't remember ever waiting more than 15 mins for a response. Our 5 weeks stay flew by. Highest level of recommendation.

We stayed at this place for one week and had a wonderful time. The house is in the middle of a small banana plantation, and upon our arrival, we were greeted with a bunch of local bananas and a mango from Veronica. The beach is within walking distance. The road leading to the house is a quiet, private, local route that takes you through two tunnels and past some waterfalls, adding to the charm and excitement of the place. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed. Veronica is an amazing host—very responsive and always helpful. We definitely recommend this place for a stay!

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%.

This was an exceptional villa and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The outside area is second to none with the most beautiful views. The sitting areas are varied and very comfortable indeed. We had a wonderful break there for three weeks. Filomena was extremely responsive and helpful in the run up to, as well as during our stay. The villa is ideally located with just one steep hill to climb and is a 10-15 minute walk from the old town. We would definitely consider rebooking this villa.

This is a fabulous home, in a great location. It was very spacious, both inside and out. The furnishings were lovely and it had everything you could hope for - the pool was great and the view stunning. Bruno and Carla were perfect hosts- very responsive - and we enjoyed meeting Bruno, who provided us with a great intro to the home and the area. Can’t wait to go back!

The house was super - very spacious and clean, beautiful views, and a well stocked kitchen. It is in a private and quiet area. The house keeper was very helpful in setting us up and responding to any questions we had. Highly recommended overall.

What a great weekend getaway we had in this airbnb. First of all, the pool was outstanding and very pleasant to swim after a run in the neighborhood or after a long day on the trails. The house was super clean, with everything you think you would need (spices, kitchenware, even aluminium paper and baking paper). The rooms were very comfortable. When we had issues with the lightswitch and the hot water, Telmo and Mandy’s were quick to answer and were very proactive to resolve the issues so i t would not affect our stay. We recommand this house 100% if you want to explore the northern part of the island !

This was a delightful place to stay. Very private and so many facilities for a small place. Beautiful views, swimming pool and honesty bar. A total hidden gem.

We stayed at Casa dos Francelhos, we were seven adults. The facilities were excellent. Antonio greeted us with kindness, guided us through everything we needed from the villa, but also gave great tips about Madeira's sights, shops, dining, and getting around. The week went smoothly in a villa with three bathrooms inside and a fourth outside. Fruit spreads, welcome wines, and beautiful flowers were waiting for us. Everything worked brilliantly. The outside patio and pool area was very cozy and beautiful. During the week, we also grilled on the outdoor grill. The location of the villa is great, the area is peaceful and the view of the sea is beautiful, we walked daily to the center. Backwards we often took a taxi, the youth walked back and got some useful exercise. Taxis were well received from the city center, next to the exit of the Pingo store, there were always several waiting for them. The bolt worked well too. We can highly recommend Casa dos Francelho!

The house was great and the outdoor area with the swimming pool and the barbeque was amazing. Most of our meals were there and we loved it! You definitely need a car to reach the house and to move around, but if you are ok with it, I totally recommend this place. Many great walks/levadas, the sandy beach of Calheta and the beautiful Paul do Mar are within easy reach with a car too.

Amazing view, great location, perfect instructions for checking in and out.
