House holiday rentals in Santa Cruz

We felt very relaxed and comfortable at Antonio’s lovely house and the garden and views were impressive. We appreciated the interesting features in the garden with its nature feel and enjoyed the pool and sauna which we thought was a real asset for the place. The house is interesting and cared about and Antionio was an excellent and helpful host. We were glad of the car we hired to access shops, restaurants, beach and walking areas as without one would be difficult but it suited us really well as 4 adults who wanted a base from which to explore Madeira.

The house was a wonderful place for us and our family. Plenty of room and the kitchen was very well equipped. The view was spectacular and the pool and patio were an excellent spot to relax.

We really enjoyed the accommodation! (family of 6 people) This one is well located, a beautiful view, very peaceful and private place. It is very well equipped, heated pool (for €30/day), barbecue available, very spacious and clean. Which makes it a great value. We recommend it!

We had a lovely stay in a beautiful, pristine, peaceful home. Well equipped kitchen. Maria has thought of everything. The outside space was really great, plenty of space to enjoy the pool along with the outside kitchen BBQ. We walked to the botanical gardens which was 10 minutes away. Two small supermarkets and bakery 3 minutes walk from the house. We walked in Funchal several times and caught a taxi home. Lovely climate and beautiful surroundings.

This was by far the best AirBnB we’ve ever stayed in. Antonio was so helpful from the very beginning (he sent lots of info ahead of our arrival), made sure we could check in in the morning after our early flight and welcomed us personally at his lovely house with pool and all amenities one could look for (specifically in the kitchen and bathrooms, where we found all types of equipment, shampoo, tissues etc). The beds were comfortable, the view was stunning. We were a group of 6 and enjoyed cooking together (particularly barbecuing outdoors), but the house offered many peaceful corners for each of us to relax in, too. We also really appreciated Antonio‘s recommendations for hikes and other things to do on the island. Thanks a lot for everything!!

The space was beautiful. We loved the decor and the large doors that brought brightness with a view of the beautiful courtyard with the pool. We were very well received by a very good host. What a nice touch! Susana also gave us several restaurant recommendations and the communication was excellent. It took 8 minutes to get to the city center. We found all the essentials to cook well. The accommodation was clean, but I can't ignore the shower. There was mold and personally, despite the scent that had been added, I found the smell of dampness and mold unpleasant. Everything else was impeccable!

Very good stay. Beautiful, well-equipped vila. Friendly and responsive host. We recommend!

We felt very comfortable with Patricia, her dad Carlos was always there for us and super likeable. We were also able to contact Patricia at any time. The location of the accommodation was perfect for exploring the city and for excursions, the view is breathtaking. We are very grateful for such a wonderful accommodation and can give a ♥️ recommendation. Thank you dear Patricia

We had a wonderful stay at Olesea's place. Everything was a good fit for the description of the place. The lower level was, as described, rather low as regards the ceiling height, tall people should keep that in mind. From Gaula we were very well connected to destinations in the east and north of the island.

The villa was beautiful - stunning location - and perfectly furnished. Lovely walk to Ponta do Sol village but the walk back is not for the faint hearted - Bolt is available :-) Whilst there were a few teething issues on arrival, Rita was super responsive and helpful in sorting any problems and our stay was great. It was a lovely stay in a stunning villa with amazing views and we would love to come back.

My wife and I had an incredible stay here for our honeymoon. The view is absolutely stunning and makes you just stand and stare out into the valley in awe each day. You are close to nearby walks, shops and natural pools. As you are centrally located, nothing is too far away. The house is well equipped, easy to find and the hosts were very communicative and helpful throughout. We stayed in decent weather at the beginning of June and didnt need to use the heaters at all. Would absolutely recommend and we will be returning!

Very spacious home with a garage (never had a garage on any of my previous airbnb stays before). It is well equiped, has 3 toilets, 2 bathrooms, which makes it very comfortable using those while in a morning rush before day activities in Madeira. Shopping centre is in a walkable distance (if you prefer walking). On one of the evenings during our stay took a hike in close by surroundings by the levada. It was a nice, peaceful walk which opens eyes for how local communities live, not only the touristy areas. Andreia, was very friendly, responsive, provided extremelly clear instructions on how to get in, and what to do best in the Madeira. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience. Check in was easy and our hosts were great communicators. Extremely peaceful location and great for relaxation. Having a vehicle is so important for travel in Madeira, so that was a major plus with booking. Thank you for a great stay!

We had a fantastic stay in this spacious house! The large veranda was a highlight, offering a great spot to relax and watch planes land nearby. The location was convenient, and everything was well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

Such an amazing space! Our family highly enjoyed our stay. The home is more beautiful than the pictures. The pool was lovely and the location was great for hiking as well as trips to Funchal. We would love to come back again!

We absolutely LOVED our stay here! The house is extremely clean and matches the pictures perfectly. We even had freshly stocked groceries when we arrived which was a huge plus after 3 long flights. This location is so close to many delicious restaurants and the beach. We absolutely loved the pool and sun bed. 10/10 recommend!!! We already want to plan another trip back 🩷 THANK YOU!

If you’re looking for a quiet coastal cottage in Madeira this place is perfect. The view is beautiful with restaurants right around the corner. You’re steps away from the beach and beautiful hiking trails. The house is small but well kept and was very comfortable for two guests

Thanks for the great stay!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful apartment. Every morning, waking up to the stunning views over Funchal and the ocean was a real treat. The apartment itself is stylishly designed and as someone who appreciates architecture and interior design, this apartement is a great choice.

We had a lovely stay in Elisabete's home. Rui and Elisabete were really helpful with giving us recommendations. The house is located very close to Machico, which is only a 15 min walk away. It's the ideal location for getting around the island. The home is as the photos and is very big and comfortable and you can see the sea from it!

Scott’s place is a great place, not only because the back porch gave an EXCELLENT view, but there was a bus stop right outside the gate! Waking up and coming back to the gorgeous ocean view made our stay worth every penny!

Comfortable bungalow and great place to crisscross the north coast or the interior of the island . We appreciated Claudia's services and kindness

This chalet is absolutely beautiful! It was exactly as pictured - if not more lovely in person. It was peaceful, clean, and so cozy! We enjoyed making a fire in the fire place when it was cold and rainy. Ana was so responsive and let us check in early and was helpful giving directions and gave great recommendations for places to eat. Hot shower, comfortable bed, washing machine, full kitchen - everything you need! There are, however, some pros and cons with the location to consider. This is a remote property in a small village - which is what makes it so pretty, unique and peaceful. It’s also off the main road on the way toward Pico de Areiro which is great if you’re spending time in this location hiking, canyoning, etc. However, keep in mind it’s very remote. I really did not like driving back there late at night and was a little uneasy sleeping there at night because it felt so remote - but if that doesn’t bother you, I couldn’t recommend this place enough! We would stay again!

The stay was amazing, Jose was very cooperative and helped when we needed things to be fixed or done. He helped us check in very smoothly despite our flight being delayed. He is an amazing host, and the house is incredible.
