Magnificent villa with a heated pool
We stayed at the house for almost a week and it felt like home. The view was so beautiful, house so spacious and clean and aesthetic, the kitchen also has everything you need to cook, outside area is also great for having BBQ and relax by the pool. Tatiana was always responsive to messages and gave us recommendations where to go for shopping and eating. We would come back again definitely. The location is also great because you are close to Funchal, or can explore any other spot on the island within 30 mins to 1 hour with car. Big thanks to our hosts!

Casa Agrela 36547/AL Magnificent sea Views
Very pleasant stay, the house was spotless. You will have a private pool and a beautiful view of the valley and the sea. The beds were very comfortable, no amenities to say. We are very happy and we are thinking of coming back to Madeira.

Cozy studio on the gardens with great sea view.
Helena was very courteous and always available for hosting her lovely place, it’s an excellent view of the city of Funchal and was always nice to come back to at the end of the day

Casa Menezes,Sunrise & Sunset Every Day.
A great semi rural location just above Calheta, with stunning views in every direction, and easy to drive to with good access to east and west and right on the quiet road up to Rabacal. Very spacious and comfortable. Bus stop 100m and grocery /bakery and local restaurant 5 min walk away. Couldn't ask for more.

Country House @ Casas Da Vereda
Perfect for a young family with a 9-month old baby

Sunhouse B
Everything was wonderful. We felt very welcome with Carlos and Maria. The two are great hosts and even left us some fresh fruit and vegetables and other groceries for the start. Had a great time staying there !

Tropical Garden 1
Fantastic place in a beautiful valley, with incredible view of the ocean, banana plantations and a beach nearby. Anibal is an amazing host, and the place is a gem. The garden with greens is only helping make this place even better. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, the place, the host and the views! Thank you!

Relax Sunhouse, Beautiful Views
The space was very clean, spacious, and has fantastic ocean views from all rooms. The kitchen is great and has everything you need. A rental car is required for this place, but the location is perfect for visiting the island. Loved our stay in Madeira ❤️
Your guide to Madeira
All About Madeira
The Madeira archipelago is part of Portugal, yet it’s over 1,000 kilometres from the European mainland and just half that distance from the African coast. Most of its population lives on two main islands — Madeira and Porto Santo — while Sevagens and Desertas remain uninhabited. Known for astounding scenery, abundant green vegetation, and diverse native wildlife, the islands draw people seeking adventure as much as those in search of tranquillity.
Hikers head to Madeira to wend their way up mountain passes, under waterfalls, and through blueberry patches. Water-lovers take a two-hour ferry from Madeira to Porto Santo’s seven kilometres of sand beaches for a refreshing dip or some sea kayaking. Funchal, Madeira’s capital city, is home to the tile-adorned Mercado dos Lavradores — whose immaculate displays of fresh fruit draw the eye — and geometric displays of bright blooms at the Madeira Botanical Garden.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Madeira
Madeira enjoys fairly consistent weather year-round, with nearly 250 days of sunshine each year — with the exception of June, which can be cloudy. Villas in Madeira are very popular in the peak months of July and August, and you’ll need plenty of sun protection if you’re exploring at this time of year. Many cruise ships stop by during summer, delivering a steady stream of visitors and maintaining a lively buzz. As August turns to September, the islands’ wine festival celebrates the grape harvest with traditional music, tastings, and open-air performances. Visit in April or May for the weeks-long Madeira Flower Festival, which traditionally takes place four weeks after Easter and is a joyous, colourful celebration of Madeiran culture and wildlife. Traditional Madeira cottages with cosy thatched roofs are also a charming choice for the Christmas holidays.
Top things to do in Madeira
Wineries
Madeira’s wines are world-famous, and there are plenty of opportunities to explore the island’s verdant vineyards and wineries. From wine walking routes around Funchal to commercially operated tours of the island, epicureans will enjoy sampling the fruits of the island’s fertile soil.
Funchal-Monte Cable Car
The cable car that shuttles you between Funchal Monte Cable Car may only be a 20-minute journey, but it offers panoramic views of the lush island. Once you’ve ascended to the peaceful suburb of Monte, you can explore the Monte Palace Tropical Gardens, and then, if you’re up for an equally memorable trip back to the capital, you can descend in a wicker toboggan, whizzing down winding roads at speeds of up to 30 mph.
Pico do Ariero to Pico Ruivo
Not for the faint-hearted, this is a challenging 11-kilometre hike on the third-highest peak in Madeira. A thousand metres of incline take you along narrow pathways, up and down tricky staircases, and through dark tunnels. The four-hour round trip rewards brave adventurers with astounding views and a well-deserved sense of achievement.
