Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Madeira

Stayed a week and we wished it was longer! The house really fits the description, surrounded by banana trees we could also see and hear the waterfalls from the cliffs and the ocean from below. It was so idyllic! We were so worried about it being cold but the house is well insulated, it was almost too warm in the night. We also had no issue at all with mosquitoes and spent some nice breakfasts and dinners on the terrace. The hosts were also as great as the accommodation! We were directly met with some fresh bananas. The rest of the week they were incredibly helpful whenever we encountered any issues, even if it wasn’t a question related to the house. They went out of their way to make us feel at home, even offered some extra blankets and a heater that we didn’t need in the end! The street leading to the accommodation is indeed steep, we’d recommend a smaller rental car but with a good amount of horse power still. Nonetheless the way up to this gem is absolutely worth it!

We enjoyed our stay in Mauricio house. The view from the house and the sound of the ocean is amazing. The house is newly renovated so it is very confortable. I would have like to have all the necessary like coffee, shower gel, oil etc.. that you don’t want to buy only for few days. Anyway I recommend the place.

Pleasant and spacious accommodation for four people, large courtyard outdoor for easy parking. Quiet environment and stunning ocean views. Thanks to Jorge for his involvement in finding a rental vehicle.

We had a wonderful 2 days stay at the house. outside has lots of nice seating areas, perfect place to eat breakfast and dinner. The kitchen has every supply that we needed to cook. Overall a great house to stay.

The house is an old farmhouse and very spacious. Instead of windows, some rooms have doors to the outside. Very nice is the conservatory, where you can sit even in less good weather and enjoy the magnificent view. The kitchen is well equipped. We sometimes disturbed the traffic past the house. We were warmly welcomed with fruit and Madeira wine. Many thanks to Emanuel for the friendly accompaniment and the good recommendations. I can only recommend the house!

Hi Sofia! Thank you for the use of such a beautiful home and so lovely to meet you and hear about your life. We will miss Sofias place but will always have the many wonderful memories close to our hearts. 🥰

We had a lovely stay with the five of us. It lacked nothing, really everything was present (even a cheese slicer, nice for a Dutchman😅). Also a lovely outdoor area with enough furniture for all of us. Highly recommended. I would love to come again.

A property set in a stunning location, the views of Funchal were amazing. The property has a private pool within spacious grounds. The house is well equipped with everything a family needs, particularly the kitchen. Carlota and Babi were easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any correspondence.

Ana is queen of communication. We stayed in this apartment for a week, and I would admit she welcomed us perfectly. She gave us great restaurant recommendations, and welcomed with local fruits which I’ve never seen or tasted before was such a thoughtful gesture. The weather was quite rainy and windy during the week we stayed, and this apartment had everything we needed from beach towels, extra pillows,blankets or heater.She invited us to her own pool but we didn’t get the chance to visit since we were spending entire day hiking. The apartment is surrounded with mountains and banana farms, facing through beautiful ocean view. As we’re both light sleepers, this was the perfect spot for a good night sleep. Looking forward to stay here again!

Beautiful cottage! So cozy and the views are fantastic. We really enjoyed watching the sunset on the balcony. It’s an easy walk into town with some hidden gems close by. Also if you don’t want to walk the hill on the way back from town it was a 5€ bolt ride. We rented a car and it was easy to park just past the cottage where the hill isn’t so steep. I would highly recommend this property!

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.

Claudia’s place is a peaceful retreat with a breathtaking ocean view. We stayed in a cozy private unit with a comfy bed, a fully equipped kitchen (with everything needed for cooking), and a spacious veranda — perfect for slow breakfasts and quiet evenings of drawing. Claudia is a warm and caring host. We were welcomed with sweet treats, fresh fruits, water, and juice — such a thoughtful gesture. The silence, the view, and the little details made us feel truly at home. There’s parking on-site or just up the road. A place full of calm, beauty, and heart. We’ll always remember it.

Our stay was wonderful! The apartment was super nice and clean! The Host did a great job of making sure we felt comfortable and offered a lot of great recommendations .

Apartment ideally located. 15 min by car to Funchal. Close to the port with its restaurants ( supermarket)and activities. Cathy takes the time to explain the places to visit on the island and tips about the residence (on the phone). Great view from the balcony to the harbor, rooftop pool with gym. Large apartment with large kitchen and all tastefully decorated. Camara de Lobos is more family-friendly and tranquil than Funchal and not too far from the expressway ideal for discovering Madeira. Easy access to the apartment, no super steep road as it can have on the island.

Waking up with the sea and blackbirds singing, exloring the region of Funchal and closing the day with a swim. Great place!

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.

Great place and Lina was very responsive! Enjoyed my stay

For several months I watched this offer to finally block it. Finally, after 8 months, I managed to rent this house for a week. Well, I’m a visual person and I totally fell in love with the photos. And I’ll tell you something in secret- the photos don’t reflect reality.... it’s much better. A beautiful place, right by the ocean, the ocean sways you to sleep and wakes you up in the morning. The cottage has everything you need for a normal home life. Joana, prepared this place for us like a real Mom - took care of every detail - so that we felt absolutely unique in this special place. Joanna is an extraordinary, wonderful Woman. Full of warmth and empathy. I am very grateful to you Joan for everything you have done for us to make this time so special for us! - thank you! And now dear ones - if you do not see free dates - be patient! It’s worth waiting! It is worth going over 280 stairs to have a piece of paradise for a moment for yourself. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

The accommodation was ideal for a vacation in Funchal, with many restaurants and cafes fairly close by. We had not appreciated how steep the hill is when walking up from the old town, but managed the walk virtually every day during our 3 week stay. Prospective visitors would be well advised to make use of taxis (costing around €6 from the town centre to the property) or check out the Number 22 bus which runs from town to a stop outside the property. Had we looked at the bus details earlier, we might have saved ourselves some hill climbing. We watched the New Year fireworks from the road outside and would really recommend this fantastic experience to others. Carina is a very considerate and supportive host and was always quick to help, whenever asked.

It is a professionally run place with everything you need to stay in Madeira. Absolutely recommended

I absolutely loved staying here. The photos do not do the place justice. It really is a beautiful house. It’s so very quiet there too. I loved being in the garden to do yoga on the platform, surrounded by plants. The hosts added so many little touches that were really appreciated- plenty of soap, herbs in the cupboard, a bottle of wine, books ….. I really did not want to leave. There are not many beautiful, very quiet places to stay. We were only 15 minutes from Funchal!

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 stayed with Manuela for 10 days and we really didn't miss anything. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures and it's sparkling clean. The kitchen has everything you need + freezer & washing machine was the highlight, as you had to pack significantly less in the suitcase than usual. Also the bed was super comfortable & the decor was very appealing. Terrace with picture-perfect view & an associated barbecue area in the outbuilding rounded off the ambience. All in all, an absolute dream vacation. We can highly recommend the apartment.

Thanks to Adriana for having us in this beautiful house, with comfortable bedding and a garden with exotic scents conducive to contemplation!
