Maria and Miguel were perfect hosts. Always available when needed and providing us with gifts and first "primary care" of food, water, wine, etc... Whenever we needed advices, we received direct feedback.
The lovely house is close to the sea and the "beach bar" is only 100 meters away, so was easy to reach.
We felt very well and enjoyed our stay very much. We will definitely come back again!
If you like getting away from the tourist centres, being in a house that's got oodles of character and charm, offers comfort, space, great location, and a delightful garden, go and stay in this property, you won't be disappointed.
Huge thanks to our lovely hosts who were both very helpful and welcoming, while being very discrete. We really appreciated all the lovely extra touches: fresh cut flowers from the garden, food provisions to get us going, Madeira wine waiting on the side board, fresh exotic fruit ready to pick in the garden, and eggs directly from the hens out at the back.
The location, half way along the southern coast, is ideal for exploring all over the island and sunnier than many other parts.
Go and enjoy it!
Huge thanks to Maria and Miguel.
Hier kann man es sich gute gehen und die Seele baumeln lassen. Abends auf einer der Terrassen den Tag ausklingen lassen und die Brandung hören, in die man sich am nĂ€chsten Morgen stĂŒrzen wird - ist das nicht Urlaub? Die Vermieter sind sehr zuvorkommend und ĂŒberlassen Dir ein sehr gut ausgestattetes und gut gepflegtes Haus, in dem ausreichend Platz fĂŒr mehrere Personen ist, auch wenn sie nicht zu einer Familie gehören. Auf dem GrundstĂŒck findest Du Bananenstauden, KrĂ€uter und einen Mangobaum, an denen Du Dich gerne bedienen kannst. Empfehlung!
GemĂŒtliches Haus in herrlicher Lage / Cosy house in magnificent site
Wir haben im Oktober 2019 eine Woche in dem Ferienhaus verbracht und haben es total genossen! Die Lage abseits der Touristenmassen hat uns besonders gut gefallen. Das Haus und der Garten waren auĂerordentlich gut gepflegt und sauber, die Vermieter unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar.
Das Haus liegt nur durch eine StraĂe getrennt direkt an einem groben Kiesstrand, der durch niemanden auĂer uns zum baden genutzt wurde. Der Verkehr auf der StraĂe war nur nachmittags etwas mehr, ansonsten aber vernachlĂ€ssigbar.
Alles in allem können wir das Haus absolut empfehlen! Herztlichen Dank nochmal an die Vermieter Maria und Miguel! Obregado!
We spent a week in the house in October 2019 and totally enjoyed it! We especially liked location away from the tourist crowds. The house and the garden were extremely well maintained and clean, the landlord incredibly friendly, helpful and always available.
The house is separated only by a road directly on a coarse pebble beach, which wasn't used by anyone but us to bathe. The traffic on the street was only a bit more in the afternoon, but otherwise negligible.
All in all, we can absolutely recommend the house! Thank you again to the owners Maria and Miguel! Obregado!
Excellent place, excellent house full of charms.
We did love it the first time in 2016 and same crush in 2019.
PS: Council of Madalena do mar need to invest on beach and sea access.
Wir ( zu zweit) haben uns in der Unterkunft sehr wohl gefĂŒlhlt! ideal zum entspannen und das Meer ist direkt vor der TĂŒr. Das Haus war top ausgestattet, da gibt es nichts zu kritisieren.
Auch die Besitzer Maria und Miguel waren sehr freundlich. Miguel hat uns zur vorher vereinbarten Zeit pĂŒnktlich und herzlich empfangen und eine kleine EinfĂŒhrungstour durchs Haus gegeben. Bei Problemen oder Fragen kann man die Zwei problemlos per Telefon oder Mail kontaktieren, auch gibt es Tipps zu AuslfĂŒgen, SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten und Kulinarischem.
Magdalena do Mar ist gut gelegen, ideal um von dort die Insel zu erkunden. Da es auf der SĂŒdseite ist, ist Sonne garantiert!
Wir kommen gerne wieder und können die Unterkunft nur wÀrmstens empfehlen!!
Maria and Miguels house is certainly one of the most beautiful domiciles you can find on Madeira. The interior design is very classic and every detail in the house breathes love for craftsmanship and artisanal perfection. Rooms, beds, bathrooms, salon and kitchen are perfectly clean and well equipped. Scrolling through the picture gallery you will think it's beautiful and in reality it is even more beautiful than you have imagined.
When arriving in early April from freezing Germany flourishing roses and wisteria welcomed us in the garden. The chicken in the backyard are so nice to look at and the fresh eggs picked from the nest tasted really good and the papayas are extraordinary. Put some fresh lemon on it if you are not used to it's taste. Thank you Maria and Miguel also for the your warm welcome including wine, fresh bread and excellent cheese.
Note: the house is directly located at the main road connecting the west of the island with it's capital Funchal which is about 30 km away. We learned from Maria the road will become a one way this year which will calm down traffic.
We loved it and will certainly come back when travelling again to Madeira.

Wunderschönes Haus mit viel Platz, einem tollen Garten und sehr netten Vermietern.
Wir waren das erste Mal in Madeira und hatten GlĂŒck sofort das passende Haus gefunden zu haben. Verkersanbindung, auch in den Norden super. In dieses Haus kann man sich nur verlieben! Es ist mit viel Geschmack und Liebe eingerichtet. Im Garten Bananen ein Mangobaum und ein HĂŒhnergehege. Terassen auf denen man sitzen kann und zum Sonnenuntergang sind wir in den Turm gegangen. Wir waren zu sechst und hatten viel Platz. Die KĂŒche ist gut ausgestattet und wir konnten sogar alle zusammen dort kochen. Ich wĂŒrde immer wieder indieses Haus fahren.
This is a house where you from the first sight have "home-feelings" !
The welcoming of the guestwife, who is doing anything possible to make your stayment a success ,
is hearthwarming. Before and during the whole trip we received advices and information about what could be interesting to visit and where to go.
The house is a pearl in a tropical garden, in a very quiet but centrallayed village, from where it is very easy to start daytrips to all the beautiful nature- and historical corners of the island.
ers of the island. It's a pleasure to sit in the little so well restaurated tower of the house with open windows listening to the ocean ( at night you receive a concert of the lokal frogs who are living in an undeep waterpool:-)
You can enjoy the amazing fruit and flowers of the garden, and because of the really wellness-climat you can spent long evenings sitting
outside, reading in the lot of books with historical and art information.
Within you have all the comfort of a large livingroom, two beautifull kitchens, bathrooms, many sunny sleepingrooms,...
On a few minutes driving you found a shopp where you can do the all day courses and where they have very nice pattisserie :-)
On the whole island they have been very hard working to make the traffic easy,and an amazing systems of chunnels brings you even to the highest mountaintop or your startplace of wandering.
Whatever you want to do on Madeira, you 'll find it : a place to enjoy the sun and the ocean, very good restaurants (even in the environment of the house), historical monuments and buildings in lovely towns, and an embarassing
lot of wanderpaths who brings you to highlights of the nature of the island.
We have spent two fantastic weeks in the villa. It is very spacious, decorated in a charming manner and had everything we needed. Maria and Miguel are very friendly and spoilt us with delicious avocados, bananas, pastries and eggs when we arrived. Our children loved the rooster and chickens, and the toys in and outside the house. A great place for young and old!
Once again we had a fantastic holiday in this fabulous house. The owners are friendly and helpful and they had even put up a Christmas tree for our holiday over Christmas and New Year's Eve. The house has been lovingly restored and is very well decorated. The rooms are all spacious and well equipped. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Madeira. It is especially well suited to young families, with its fully enclosed courtyard and garden.
It was a great experience those days at Madalena do Mar. A very beautiful house, with a beutiful garden where we could have a nice breakfast. We went for a fabulous dives. Beach is only about 5 minutes walking.
Also great welcoming by the house owners. Very, very kind!
We hope we can go there again very soon.
Das Haus und der Garten sind wunderschön, sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr gut ausgestattet! Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Allerdings ist die Strasse vor dem Haus etwas laut und man sollte keine Angst vor Eidechsen und Krabbeltierchen haben, da diese sich aufgrund der NÀhe zur Bananenplantage auch ins Haus verirren können.
"A wonderful property, very spacious and well appointed. Everything was exactly as described and we were very happy with our holiday in Madalena Do Mar. We hope to return soon."
