Cottage holiday rentals in Madeira Island

We had a wonderful time at Emanuels place. He was a wonderful host, very helpful with recommendations and showing how everything worked. The view from his place is incredible. We spent almost every evening on the terrace, enjoying the view of the ocean and Ribeira Brava. What a wonderful place! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

magnifique emplacement dans les montagnes. une fois qu'on sait comment s'y rendre, très facile d'accès. La maison est très belle, propre, et conforme à la description.

Photos do not do this place justice! Incredible, incredible place. Thank you

Super Unterkunft! Werde aufkedenfall immer diese nehmen wenn ich nach Madeira zum Wandern gehe :)

Fantastic views from the garden. The host was super helpful and quick to respond. There was a very generous welcome gift of fruits and local produce.

We had the privilege of renting this efficient and comfortable home for a month. Mary is an extraordinary host. Directions were precise, information was thorough and she was available to offer assistance, and answer questions at any time. Fresh citrus trees were available for picking just off the generous patio. We enjoyed the hot tub and having a washer and dryer and outdoor clothes rack. The Poncha Bar down the street is the best!!! Mary’s husband Joseph is the owner/bartender/coffee maker and general store manager….he does it all! Joseph’s Poncha is hands down the best we found on the island! A safe and welcoming neighborhood, in a central location on a stunning island.

We hebben een prima verblijf gehad. Helaas viel tijdens ons verblijf een glazen deksel vanuit het kastje boven de kookplaat, op de kookplaat. Die was stuk. Direct gemeld en geregeld met de eigenaar. Heel erg fijn. Verder is de locatie top, het is erg rustig en mooi. Je zit precies aan de goede zonnige kant van Madeira. De cocktailbar iets verderop, pukiki, is op loopafstand en erg leuk om heen te gaan. Winkels zijn dichtbij, strand is dichtbij en de mooie wandelroutes zijn perfect aan te rijden. Er is geen airco aanwezig, ik denk wel dat als het warmer wordt dat je de hitte gaat merken maar er staat een ventilator. De bedjes bij het zwembad waren wel doorgezakt, wij hebben gewoon onze buitenstoelen gebruikt. Alles in het huisje is verder top in orde. Geen grote luxe maar perfect voor de prijs, de locatie en alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig.

Jolie maisonnette sur les hauteurs de Sao Jorge. Confortable, bien décorée, nous ne l'avons occupée qu'à deux mais elle peut accueillir 5 personnes. Emplacement idéal pour les départs de randos. Deux bons restos tout près : la Casa de Palha et le café Aeréo (brochettes de bœuf délicieuses avec une vue incroyable sur la terrasse).

The accomodation was nice, soooo quiet and peaceful. Only the bird chirping we can hear during our stay. the view from the covered terace was amazing. it was easy to reach the house by car. We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage.

Fantastic spot. The geography is stellar. The elevation, the ocean view and the slope of the mountain this property is on gives the illusion that you are floating 800 meters above the ocean. Really something special. The pictures don’t do it justice at all.

If you're looking for a quiet area to get away from the crowds in the cities this is a wonderful place. It's nestled in the mountain valleys near Ponta do Prago but quite near the ocean. We loved our 6 day stay at Frederica 's. She provided good, clear instructions to get there. She also gave us very useful information on local attractions, restaurants and supermarkets. The house is on a very steep pitched road so walking up and down it can be a challenge ( we are in our 70's ) We did it a few times. There is a walk from her house to the waterfalls . It took us about 2 hrs. Rnd-trip but it was well worth it. If we were to return we'd go back in April or later.

We hadden een zeer goed verblijf in deze smaakvol ingerichte en verzorgde woning met paradijselijke tuin en het zicht op de oceaan. Maria Adriana was een super fijne host. Het was in het begin wat wennen aan de steile helling om er te geraken, maar dat is op veel plaatsen zo in Madeira. Gelukkig huurden we een kleine wagen.

This place is amazing! In the middle of the mouintains and almost no one around - felt magical ! Nice view of the ocean with green surrounding. It is also close to the small village with good coffee :) House looks like in the pictures, cozy, big and clean. Garden is well kept with many areas to hang out. We have the worst weather but with two electric heaters it was warm inside. The host was friendly, helped us with all issues that we asked and made this holidays really easy-going for us :) thanks! Highly recommended for memorable and relaxed holidays :) PS The swimming pool can be heated but it costs 45€/day and it has to be heated for at least 5 days.

This accommodation is truly magical, from the views overlooking Boaventura and the local festival, to the highly responsive and flexible support from Margarida and team. Only two things worth mentioning - the drive to/from the place is not for the faint of heart, with low visibility from the winding, small roads, and the understanding that the amenities are limited - no food / coffee, no paper towels, no bathroom soap (come prepared!) Despite that, I would 100% recommend and will certainly be back to enjoy again!

Die Unterkunft von Sofia und Jose ist einfach ein Traum! Die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet, und der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist atemberaubend. Wir sind mit einem Mietwagen angereist und haben stets problemlos einen Parkplatz in der Nähe gefunden. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war durchweg angenehm und schnell – Sofia und Jose waren jederzeit erreichbar und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Our stay here was absolutely magical! The surroundings were so peaceful and beautiful, which made for a great coffee spot in the morning alongside the two dogs on the property! The pool was also great and well maintained. Would highly recommend staying here.

Wir haben uns in Domingos Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Besonders gefallen hat uns der Blick von den beiden Terrassen auf die Bucht und das Meer (noch schöner, als auf den Fotos!) Das Haus ist ruhig gelegen in einer schmalen und steilen Einbahnstraße. Es ist sehr geräumig und sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet mit ausreichend Geschirr, Töpfen, Handtüchern usw. Neben der Terrasse gibt es einen extra Grillraum mit weiterer Küche und Zugang zum Garten aus dem wir uns Kräuter pflücken durften.Obwohl die Straße eng und steil ist, war das Parken kein Problem - der Spaziergang in den Ort dauert je nach Kondition 20 - 30 Minuten. Der Kontakt zum Verwalter war sehr freundlich und zuverlässig. Wir wurden persönlich und sehr herzlich begrüßt und als Willkommensgruß gab es ein großes Paket aus Wein, frischen Eiern, Bananen, Keksen und Kuchen. Das Haus ist eine gute Ausgangslage um den Westen der Insel zu erkunden und wir können es gerne weiterempfehlen. Obrigada!

Geweldig verblijf in een prachtig en rustig huis Wat een fijne plek! Het huis is nog mooier dan op de foto’s en de beschrijving doet het eigenlijk tekort. Het is ontzettend rustig gelegen met een prachtig uitzicht — ideaal om helemaal tot rust te komen. Alles was perfect onderhouden en brandschoon. De keuken is volledig uitgerust, je hebt echt alles wat je nodig hebt. Helaas zat het weer niet mee en hebben we door de regen weinig van de buitenruimte kunnen genieten. We hadden hier met gemak nog veel langer willen blijven. Een echte aanrader!

Regina’s house is sparkling clean, elegant and with breathtaking review. It is defiantly the best Airbnb we had in Madeira! Regina is super considerate and shows super care to her guest, we were welcomed with fresh bread (very yammy!!) and local wine and groceries which made our first day a easy one. We were able to cook traditional dishes “Espetada Madeirense” using the BBQ. The house has everything you will need for a comfortable stay and you won’t need to go anywhere else, the view on the deck is unbeatable!

Thank you so much to Costa and Siestke, their home is beautiful and was our perfect base - we were so happy to have slow mornings there and return home there in the evening after exploring the island. Porto de Cruz is a great little village with the old rum factory and beaches, we really loved our stay here. Costa ans Sietske were so gracious, sharing the history of the building and local recommendations, it was a pleasure to meet both of them. Thank you so much for everything! 10/10 highly recommend, especially if you want a cosy, authentic place to yourself on the island. Perfect!
