Apartment vacation rentals in Madeira Island

Good communication with the host and nearby airport fits my requirements. The apartment is too big for two people; it is better to rent for four people :) Thanks for hosting us and being responsive regarding our delayed flight:)

Communication with the hosts was perfect, from checking in, through getting some local recommendations to checking out. The owners are very thoughtful of their guests, there was a basket of local goodies waiting for us in the apartment when we arrived. The only thing I could complain about the apartment are the beds. They're just 140cm wide, quite hard, bouncy and very squeaky. Other than that, all was perfect, the kitchen is perfectly equiped. The place is very peaceful, it was just us and the ocean. Highly recommended!

My husband and I are in our 60's, we did not hire a car but relied on the buses. The Number two bus is right outside, the number 1 & 3 are down the hill and a bit of a walk, easier for us if we walk a bit of a zig zag- up one block stop for a wee sip and then continue :) the number 4 bus stops about one block down and over a block. We took the bus to Lido and enjoyed the swimming complex with a huge pool, lockers , showers. We enjoyed a few jazz venues, walking along the promenade and roof top views. The apartment was lovely and had a nice cross breeze and a washer/dryer. We would book again. :)

Absolutely stunning apartment with a gorgeous rooftop and pool over looking the mountains and Funchal seafront. Felt extremely luxurious but homely too. Right in the centre of Funchal. Hosts were amazing, flexible and extremely helpful.

We booked Manny's place for the location, and because we liked the photographs, and we could not have made a better choice. The apartment was all we expected and needed, a real home from home, with a balcony to relax on, and a well-equipped kitchen. As a central location, it is perfect for exploring Funchal. Manny is an excellent host. He and his son greeted us at the flat when we arrived with a gift of traditional Madeira cake, local bananas and a fulltray of coffee pods! He talked us through the various appliances (though there's a handy how-to booklet too) and discussed our plans, giving us various recommendations and advice. He also messaged a couple of times during our stay to check everything was OK, and came to the apartment to say goodbye when it was time to leave. It was reassuring to know he would be there if we needed anything. We would definitely book this apartment again - it suited us beautifully, and you won't find a better host than Manny.

Eva and José's place is in a very quiet area. The view from the living room is breathtaking There is everything you need in the apartment. Communication with Eva was hassle-free, we booked very spontaneously and received a message directly. We will be happy to come back :)

Catherine is an amazing welcoming host and super responsive. The flat is simply perfect, new and clean with fantastic view and rooftop pool. The ocean view is unmatched and restaurants and harbour across the street. Thank you, Catherine!

We loved our stay in Funchal. The apartament is in a great location, close to the parking lot. Place is very clean with a great ocean view from the balcony. The host is very responsive.

Great place that matches the pictures:) You can hear the waves rushing and are at the sunniest point of the island. The communication was good and it was handled very carefully with wishes and criticism.

We stayed at Marco’s apartment with our 1-year-old baby and spent three wonderful weeks there. The accommodation is located in the sunniest part of the island. From the 4th floor, there’s a stunning view of the ocean from both terraces where you can watch the sunset too. The living room is bathed in sunlight all day and overlooks a peaceful park above the plaza. In my opinion, the apartment is even cozier than it appears in the photos and is fully equipped with everything you might need. We cooked and did laundry quite a lot during our stay. There are several restaurants, a hair salon, and a toy shop in the same building as the apartment. Across the street, there’s a greengrocer, and just a few steps away is a shopping mall. The playground is located in park just a block away from the apartment, and at the beginning of the street, there’s a traditional bakery filled with local delicacies. Communication with Marco was very smooth, he’s truly a wonderful host!

Here’s my review of the stay: In short, it was simply perfect! The apartments were clean and had absolutely everything we needed. The view of the ocean and the sunsets was our favorite part. We felt completely at home!

We really enjoyed the stay - the sunsets from the balcony were our evening highlight! The apartment was great, there was nothing missing. Nellita was always available for questions and very helpful - we'd love to come back!

A lovely apartment, well equipped in a great location. Isabel was an attentive host

Amazing and it was just as advertised! The place itself was incredible-beautifully furnished, extremely clean, and located in a perfect spot. The spectacular city views, comfortable amenities, and overall ambiance made it feel like a true home away from home. Betty was amazing, providing excellent communication and making sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. The only improvement I could suggest for the property would be to have a washer-dryer combo instead of just a washer. With a combo, we could load the washer before leaving the apartment and ensure the laundry was dry when we came back. As it was, we were technically only able to do one load a day since we didn't spend much time inside the apartment. However, there were plenty of racks to dry the clothes so we managed. Overall, the property itself was fantastic, and I would love to stay there again.

The flat is very clean, it has everything you need for your stay and it is close to the sea. We enjoyed every moment of our holiday, it was great to be able to hear the sea from the flat. I can absolutely recommend the flat and the location, and as a plus the coffee and the baked goods at the bakery below the flats are just great. If you like jogging, this is also the perfect place for that. You can run from the flat to the historical city centre and then run along the sea and watch the waves. Just an amazing experience. There are quite some hiking trails nearby, so after some beach time you can easily go for a wonderful hike. The hosts are very nice and friendly. Overall I can only recommend this place.

The accomondation was clean and nice. Host permitted to check-in in dufferent time due to flight delayed

Very well located and good facilities

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 had a great stay at Paula's place. She responded very quickly to messages and welcomed us herself and showed us around. She also gave us a list of various recommendations- both for places to visit and very good restaurants. She also helped us get a good deal for a car rental. The apartment itself was super well equipped. Paula had even left for us beach towels and a fresh bag of coffee which we found a nice gesture. The location is very good, close to cafes, a big supermarket and down the stairs to the beach. Yes it's steep to get there but this is Madeira! There's not much to dislike. Maybe the bed was a bit hard and narrow but we still slept quite well tired after long days. The water in the pool was also rather on a cold side but it didn't stop the kids from swimming every day.

The apartment was spotless. Showers were great and beds comfy. Well equipped and a beautiful view of the hill from the living room and bedroom. The apartment was a 15 mins walk uphill from town and is on a dual carriageway which was noisy from early on weekday mornings even with the doors closed. This may be an issue if you’re light sleepers. Betty was a superstar!! Excellent recommendations and communication throughout our stay and went out of her way to drop beach towels to us.

Ana was a great host and her apartment is quite nice. We were very comfortable there for a six night stay. There is a wonderful view and the location serves as easy access to the scenic sites of the western end of Madeira.

Very nice appartment as advertized. The parking spot is very convenient and the jacuzzi was a blast.

The property offers a breathtaking view over the ocean from the yard. The outdoor areas are well arranged and the studio has what you need. Leo, the host, is quite responsive through the app and helpful if anything is needed. As temperatures weren't optimal, which is expected in February, having an outdoor jacuzzi was a highlight.

Great value for money! The location is great with a beautiful view from the balcony. Definitely recommend this place.
