Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Praia Formosa

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.

Un logement agréable et spacieux pour quatre personnes, grande cour extérieure pour se garer aisément. Environnement calme et vue sur imprenable sur l’ocean. Merci à Jorge pour son implication dans la recherche d’un véhicule de location.

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.

Das Haus ist ein altes Bauernhaus und sehr geräumig. Statt Fenster haben einige Zimmer Türen nach draußen. Sehr schön ist der Wintergarten, in dem man auch bei weniger gutem Wetter sitzen und den herrlichen Blick genießen kann. Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet. Uns hat manchmal der Verkehr am Haus vorbei gestört. Wir wurden herzlich mit Obst und Madeirawein empfangen. Vielen Dank an Emanuel für die freundliche Begleitung und die guten Empfehlungen. Ich kann das Haus nur empfehlen!

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 hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad met zijn vijven. Het ontbrak aan niets, werkelijk alles was aanwezig (zelfs een kaasschaaf, fijn voor een Nederlander😅). Ook een heerlijke buitenruimte met voldoende meubilair voor ons allen. Een aanrader. Ik zou graag nog eens komen.

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.

O espaço corresponde ao anunciado, equipado com tudo o que precisa caso opte por cozinhar no apartamento, o que não foi o meu caso. A anfitriã é muito prestável e até sugere locais para se visitar ao jantar. O melhor mesmo é a vista do apartamento sobre a baía do Funchal, com uma vista para o nascer do sol que é fantástica.

Appartement idéalement situé. A 15 min en voiture de Funchal. A deux pas du port avec ses restaurants ( supermarché)et activités. Cathy prend le temps d'expliquer les endroits à visiter sur l'île et les astuces sur la résidence (au téléphone). Superbe vue du balcon sur le port, piscine sur le toit avec salle de sport. Grand appartement avec grande cuisine et le tout décoré avec goût. Camara de Lobos est plus familial et tranquille que Funchal et pas très loin de la voie rapide idéal pour découvrir Madère. Accès facile à l'appart, pas de route hyper pentue comme il peut avoir sur l'île.

Ótimo espaço com uma excelente vista e uma boa localização. Muito fiel às imagens do anúncio. O único aspeto que creio que podia melhorar é a roupa de cama.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Funchal. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the apartment was spotless with tasteful, modern decor. The host was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel at home right away. The area itself is beautiful and peaceful, with everything working smoothly throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Madeira

Le logement était impeccable et fidèle à la description. La boîte à clefs présente sur les lieux permet une flexibilité pour l'arrivée et le départ. Le parking est fermé par un portail électrique, ce qui est très appréciable. La proximité de l'aéroport est un plus. Cependant, selon les jours, les avions se font bien entendre, mais on s'habitue. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour.

Maison bien entrenue, spacieuse, agréable non loin ( 15 à 20 min environ) du supermarché restaurant, Funchal , pico do Areeiro , aéroport…. L’hôte très gentil et réactive Je conseille vraiment

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.

Schöner Aufenthalt in ruhiger sonniger Lage. Sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet mit Waschmaschine und Küchenuntensilien

Die Unterkunft Casa Jean bei Andrea und Jens ist ein zauberhaftes Holzhäuschen, sehr gut eingerichtet und mit einer fantastischen Aussicht auf das Meer und davor eine Bananenplantage. 
Dank der abgelegenen Lage konnten wir der etwas hektischen Umgebung z.B. von Funchal sehr gut entfliehen und die Ruhe vor und in dem Häuschen sehr genießen. Gleichzeitig ist man in kurzer Zeit mit dem Auto an den verschiedenen Ortern der Insel, mit ganz unterschiedlichen Wanderungen und Erlebnissen. Die Gastgeber Andrea und Jens haben uns gute Tips gegeben und uns mit kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten sehr nett empfangen. Wir können dieses Juwel sehr weiterempfehlen und werden sehr gerne wiederkommen! 
Alles Gute von Beate und Richard

Dom Ryszarda jest piękny i bardzo komfortowy znajduje się w środku prze pięknie utrzymanego godło na kilku poziomach. Wszystko sprawia wrażenie tajemniczego Tajemniczego ogrodu z bajki. W domu wszystko czego potrzeba a nawet więcej. Kontakt w żadnym idealny.500 m od domu restauracja i supermarket. Polecamy

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.
