Apartment holiday rentals in Praia Formosa

Perfect apartment on a quiet street, which is a short stroll from the centre of Funchal. Spacious, modern and spotless accommodation with great views of the sea and the mountains that ring the city. Cristina is a great host: flexible, friendly and responsive. This apartment is the perfect base for a stay in Madeira.

Our stay at Jorge’s place was fantastic and we would highly recommend it to any active travellers. The accommodation was just perfect. We felt safe, comfortable and relaxed when there, although we were mostly out exploring the wonderful island. The parking can be tricky but if you were like us and out from 5am and back at 3pm, parking was never an issue, although tight spaces (I recommend getting a small hire car!). 30-40 minute walk to the centre of Funchal and 15-20 bars on the way! The local bars and restaurants were all good but our favourites were Horta and Mau Fetitio if you want excellent food and service. We wanted to go to Il Basilica but they were fully booked most nights. The day trip to Porto Santo is great, very worthwhile and very relaxing but not a lot going on. We went to Pe Na Agua which was really good. Hiring e-bikes is highly recommended. The mountains reputations speak for themselves. Parking at Arieiro gets busy from 5am and costs €20 for the day. Plan well.

We spent a week at the accommodation and it couldn't have been better. The location is, as described, a bit outside the city of Funchal, but we also wanted that. Here you have your peace and can start the day on the balcony. The apartment was clean and equipped with everything you needed. Check-in & out was easy and straightforward. The location was great for daily excursions around the island. We usually went into the city with Bolt (8-10 € for a route). We never used buses. We felt very comfortable from the beginning and the view is really a dream. Only the bed could have been a little more comfortable, it was quite hard. Otherwise a great place to stay!

Beautiful, spacious apartment in a great location. We enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay here again! The big balcony was our favourite part, and the check in instructions were so easy. Loved it!

Lovely, clean apartment. Great location, 1km (7 or 8min) walk from Câmara de Lobos. Easy, hassle free check in. Ample free parking. Would definitely stay there again!

Great location and views. Plane and street noise did not disturb us as we kept bedroom windows closed. Everything you need to cook. WiFi can be a little spotty. I would stay there again.

The apartment was is a quiet neighborhood and the view was exceptional. The communication with Vasco was easy and quick.

Such a lovely place in Funchal with an amazing view! Close to so many great restaurants too!

Maria’s 8th-floor apartment was perfect! Super clean, spacious, and the balcony had amazing views of the marina, Santa Catarina park, and the city. It has two bedrooms — one with a double bed, the other with two singles — both with private bathrooms and closets. There are three bathrooms total, all spotless. The kitchen had everything, plus a dishwasher and coffee machine. Laura, who welcomed us, was so kind and helpful. She messaged me before arrival, arranged parking, explained everything in the apartment, and even brought us a big bottle of water and fresh coffee capsules the next day. She also gave great local tips. The building has great security and private parking. Honestly, the whole stay was smooth and comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Madeira — close to everything!

Everything was great! Perfect location

Great stay with dog ★★★★★ Eugénia and Duarte are very warm hosts! The accommodation was perfect for me and my adult daughter – cozy, clean and in a good location. Our dog Akiko was not a special "guest", but expressly welcome, which was very important to us. Everything was uncomplicated, and the communication was super friendly. Glad to come back!

Amazing location with a great view and very clean interior space. Highly recommend!

Our vacation would not have been the same without Igor's accommodation, which is nice, clean, functional and well located. Indeed, the city center is a stone's throw away, the expressway 2 or 3 km, Funchal and the airport less than 1/2 hour drive and the view from the balcony is very pleasant. We chose this accommodation by chance and we were delighted to find ourselves in this small town that won us over. Thanks for everything, Igor, and all the best.

We stayed in this apartment as a family of four, and it offered plenty of space and comfort. Amenities like the washing machine, dishwasher, and fast internet made our stay especially convenient. The location is excellent—close to Funchal and attractions on Madeira’s eastern side—and although the apartment faces a busy road, noise was minimal at night. We would happily stay here again.

we enjoyed the stay very much. beautiful and very confortable apartment and the pool at the roof was amazing! we had our own waschingmachine/dryer room . the welcome was a big surprise with a great present. we will recommend this place +100% 😁

We stayed for one night during our round trip on Madeira, but we would have wanted to stay longer. The place is really spacious, laundry machine and a great terrace with sea view. Madalena do Mar with its banana fields and colorful houses is a charming beach town. Don’t expect sand here, but definitely worth a stop!

Absolutely Stunning Apartment with Unbeatable Views! This was, without a doubt, the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the absolutely stunning apartment. It was incredibly well-equipped with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The beautiful location was a real highlight, boasting amazing sea views from the balcony that we enjoyed every single day. The lovely swimming pools on site were a fantastic bonus, perfect for a refreshing dip. Our hosts, Mariana and Ricardo, were so welcoming and helpful, always on hand to answer any questions and offer local tips. The great wifi was a practical plus, and we loved that the apartment was within walking distance to the main shops, making everything so convenient. We had a truly wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Thank you, Mariana and Ricardo, for a memorable stay!

The best host I have ever stayed with through airbnb. Lionel and Carla are super, super hosts!! The property is immaculate, very spacious and on a superbly situated development. The beds were super comfy, great black out blinds too. There are many fabulous local restaurants nearby or you can easily hop onto a bus just outside of the apartment block to Funchal. Lionel and Carla really go the extra mile! If you require any help or information the response time is immediate! Thank you for making our stay in Maderia so perfect! We will be back!

The location and apartment suited us very well: right next to the beach with a lovely pool and view, quiet but easily accessible from the aerobus; and with other bus routes and shops within walking distance, as well as the seaside promenade. Rui Miguel really made an effort to provide all sorts of useful info at relevant times, and was always very responsive and friendly. We had a very pleasant experience.

Our experience here was paradise on earth. Breathtaking view from the property and lovely space overall. Sergio is an amazing host, very hospitable and friendly. We hope to be back at some point

Iri’s place was absolutely breathtaking taking!! The view from the balcony was outstanding! You can see the beach. Her place has a washer drier which was super convenient. iri was super friendly and helpful! She is great !!!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Ricardo was lovely, he and Tanya have a beautiful home in a great location in Funchal, across the street from the supermarket and near lots of restaurants. He was very accommodating and the house was in great condition when we went.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The view was beautiful and we loved being able to sit on the balcony and listen to the waves. The apartment had everything we needed and was a perfect home base. The host checked us in and walked us through the apartment to show us how things worked which was great. The location was not super walkable to restaurants and such for my parents due to the steep hills, but it wasn't an issue for us and the beach path was great to walk in the evenings. Definitely recommend.

We had a really nice stay in this appartement and Evgenii was friendly. We loved being able to walk to the city centre en we enjoyed the pool on a warm day. Also nice to have a parking spot.
