This is one of the best properties we have stayed in, it has everything you could possibly need, the garage is an added bonus. Location is great, there is a nice little restaurant about a 100 yards from the house convenient for breakfast and a short walk takes you into the old town. Will stay here again.

I cannot say enough great things about this rental. Our stay was fabulous from beginning to end. The house is stocked with EVERYTHING and more! It is walking distance to the old town, it has a garage for your rental car. It is beautiful inside and out. Our host met us when we arrived and were always available for any issues or questions we had. There was maid service after a week which was wonderful as well. Maderia is very special as well. A beautiful island to visit. We filled two weeks easily with hiking and site seeing.

Close to Old Town

This villa was incredible!! Super clean and so big. Three lovely bedrooms all with their own bathroom. A kitchen that was top of the line and then there is a laundry room with both a washer and dryer. Everything is modern and up to date. Outside is a very large patio with lounging chairs and table with a spectacular view of the ocean. A very short walk gets you into old town. One of the nicest vrbo places I have ever rented.

Beautiful property

Overlooking Funchal harbour, with a short walk from the heart of the city. A beautifully appointed, spacious property, with plenty of space for 6 adults. The only shortcoming was building works to properties on either side (which the owner could do nothing about), which were very intrusive with heavy drilling and loud music every day.

The property was clean tidy and of a high spec, just what we were looking for.

we found the villa to be spacious and very comfortable. We particularly liked the Aircon and en suites in each bedroom, along with the balcony and terrace space which would be ample even if the villa had 6 people in it. The kitchen was also fully spec’d with a great coffee machine being the highlight for us. We spent most of our time outside so the comfortable outdoor seating was also much welcomed. The owners have clearly thought of everything well done to them!

Holiday in Madeira

Excellent property. I could not believe the amount of ware glasses etc. It had absolutely everything. Mirela was so helpful. Great view from the property. We felt the pull up the hill but very soon found an alternate route. Would definitely recommend it to anybody who is thinking of going to Madeira. Weather was very warm when we were there so it was great to sit out in the shade.

My daughter, sister, and I spent a wonderful week in Madeira at Karen & Mike’s home in Funchal. Karen & Mike were responsive during booking, planning, and our stay. They reserved great taxi service - for Rafael to pick us up at airport and also do a day tour of part of island. He was friendly and energetic and shared his love of the island. Wonderful Mirela greeted us warmly upon arrival and walked us through the home and was always available to answer questions. You really have a wonderful team available to guide you in Madeira. As others have noted, the welcome of bread, butter, fruit, and wine gave us some sustenance while we got our bearings. We would have been happy to just sit all week on the terraces in very comfortable outdoor furniture overlooking the sea - it is a beautiful location! So close to restaurants and markets that we enjoyed. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen has everything. We highly recommend Karen & Mike’s home - just amazing!
