Casa R30

Caniço de Baixo

View German

Wonderful holiday home with plenty of peace, nature, and relaxation.

The Casa R 30 on Rua Baden Powell in Canico de Baixo is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday in Madeira. The house is very nicely furnished, has a wonderful garden, and a terrace with an Atlantic view that one can never get enough of. The kitchen and bathroom are of modern standard, the beds are great, and the living room shines with a large panoramic window. It is a charming holiday home that one definitely wants to return to for the next trip to Madeira. We are already looking forward to that!

Villa Oceana

Jardim do Mar

View German

Most beautiful spot in Madeira to stay!

I am writing this review mainly because I hesitated to book due to the low number of reviews...
However, there was not one reason to doubt!
Margaret and Ray are the perfect landlords, with clear and quick communication.
We stayed in villa Oceana. The house is very spacious, has 2 terraces with a beautiful sunset every day, there is a private laundry room with a super good washing machine, the kitchen is practical (without a dishwasher), everything is there! The double bed is not very wide, but you wake up with a view of the sea from your pillow!
There is no air conditioning in the rooms, sleeping with the windows open is possible, there are not many mosquitoes (no fly screens).
The terrace by the living area is really large with a BBQ, the terrace by the bedrooms is also larger than in the photos and is nice to read a book alone for a while.
The pool is nice and deep for jumping and you share it with 2 other cottages, often you are there alone anyway.
Swimming is also possible in the ocean. At the bottom of the village runs a beautiful boulevard. On the east side is a concrete pier where you can jump and also lie down. On the west side, you can go to a pebble beach to snorkel. The sea is not too wild there in the summer.
To reach the cottage, you have to walk a small 10 minutes from the parking lot. Despite the high season, we always found a free spot.
We did our shopping at the supermarket along the access road to Jardim. Here you will pass by anyway before and after every outing.
Funchal is a 50-minute drive, Porto Moniz 45 minutes, most hikes take 45 minutes to 1 hour. It may all seem a bit far, but the location and comfort of this little house really make up for it! Moreover, it is so beautiful along the way...

Villa 'Casa OM'

Ponta do Pargo

View German

We didn't miss anything

A beautifully located holiday home with a view of the sea, in a quiet environment, and still close to everything that Madeira has to offer: beach, hiking trails, city and countryside. I can only recommend the house to Koen and Monique: they are incredibly helpful when needed and discreet to allow us to enjoy the holiday to the fullest. The days at Casa OM were a 5* stay.

Which sights are there in Madeira?

Sahara on Madeira

Have you found the right accommodation, or even a villa where you will stay? Then nothing stands in the way of trips to Madeira's attractions. A highlight is certainly the Tropical Garden in Funchal. It is a masterful garden that, besides many exotic plants, also displays numerous Azulejos. Two oriental areas also lead into the past - including the time when the Portuguese were in Japan. The lava pools in Porto Moniz in the northwest of Madeira are also very popular. Here you can swim and snorkel in saltwater. The pool is daily flushed by the sea. It is surrounded by dark lava rock. On the peninsula Ponta de São Lourenço in the east of Madeira, you can explore a unique landscape in the nature reserve, with bizarre rock formations and a carpet of flowers in spring. On clear days, you can see as far as the neighboring island of Porto Santo. A trip to the small town Calheta and its surroundings in the southwest is also worthwhile. The sandy beach there is particularly beautiful - the only one on the island, ideal for a beach holiday in Madeira. Sand was specifically brought from the Sahara to Calheta for this purpose. It is also a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts of all kinds. Here you will also find affordable accommodations such as apartments and holiday homes.

What do you need to experience in Madeira?

Spectacular plants and a mountain

Would you like to rent an apartment or a holiday home in Madeira? You have a free choice! Most vacation accommodations or even villas offer free Wi-Fi, many sights nearby, or a fantastic view of the Atlantic. Most excursion destinations are also not far away. A major highlight is Cabo Girão, about three kilometers west of Câmara de Lobos in the south of Madeira. The 580-meter-high cape is the highest cliff in Europe. The view is simply spectacular. Another great excursion destination is the Botanical Garden of Funchal. The Jardim Botânico is a wonderful place to relax and discover new things. Here you can see the most colorful flowers on the island, delve into exotic plant and tree worlds, and also encounter the local bird species. It's no wonder Madeira is also known as the island of flowers. The garden is divided into the following areas: native island plants, trees of the world, the fantastic world of succulents, plants from God's healing and pleasure garden, Loiro Park with rare birds and plants. To conclude, you can enjoy a coffee at the terrace café. Cultural events also regularly take place in the amphitheater. If you are spending a holiday in Madeira, a trip to Pico Ruivo is also recommended. It is the highest mountain on the island (1,862 meters). The mountain can only be climbed on foot and is one of Madeira's great hiking destinations. If you are lucky with the weather, you will have a breathtaking view over the central highlands or the island of Porto Santo. The beautiful coast exudes tranquility and offers many opportunities for active vacationers or travelers interested in water sports.

What can you experience in Madeira with children?

900,000 years old

The beautiful island Madeira is suitable for a holiday with a pool. Numerous vacation apartments, holiday homes, or villas offer pools. Especially your children will be amazed when they see the wonderfully equipped house with its own swimming pool. That's why Madeira is a particularly popular destination for families. A great excursion destination is also the impressive lava caves of São Vicente in the north of the island. The Grutas de São Vicente originated from a volcano and are now almost 900,000 years old. A tour through the caves leads you through a unique labyrinth of passages, which are between five and six meters high. There is also an information center where you can learn extensively about the volcanism on Madeira. The next top tip for families takes you back to Funchal. A cable car takes you from the edge of the old town up to Monte. There you will be greeted by a fabulous sea view and beautiful nature for hiking. In Monte, there are also further attractions such as the Largo do Fonte with the drinking fountain, the city park, or the Tropical Garden.

Where can I eat out in Madeira?

Fish, chestnuts, schnapps

Have you rented a holiday home or a private vacation apartment in a good location with a wonderful view of the sea? Then you can also dive into the culinary diversity of Madeira on your own. Try, for example, the Black Scabbardfish (Espada), an original specialty in the island's restaurants. The fish is usually fried as a fillet and served with halved bananas. Another local specialty is Espetada, a meat skewer about one meter long. If you are staying in an apartment or in a house without neighbors in Madeira between October and December, you can try the chestnuts, which are roasted on charcoal and doused with seawater. The world-famous Madeira wine, which also forms the basis for Madeira sauce, is well-known. However, the national drink of the islanders is Poncha, a mixture of sugarcane schnapps, lemon juice, and honey. Besides the classic version with lemon, Poncha is often also offered with absinthe, tamarillo, orange, or passion fruit.

What is a must-see in Madeira?

CR7 and the Pope

If you book a vacation apartment privately or a holiday home with a great view in Madeira, you will inevitably notice the famous Azulejos. These are mostly square mosaics on colorfully painted and glazed ceramic tiles. Often they depict flowers, ships, or bird motifs. You can see them, for example, on the facades of houses and churches, public buildings, or on ornate villas. The Azulejos were brought to Portugal around the year 1500 from Moorish workshops in southern Spain. Also typical for Madeira are the basketry works made from willow rods. Due to their flexibility, willow rods are ideal for making fine and light items, but also for furniture. If you want to get to know the culture of the island more closely, you can also visit one of the numerous museums. Among the most interesting are the Embroidery Museum at the Instituto do Vinho, the Museu de Arte Sacra Funchal, or the CR7 Museum there. There, in a large house, you can learn all sorts of interesting facts about the island's most famous son: footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. Particularly impressive are the over 125 trophies that are permanently on display. The cultural history also includes the oldest church in Madeira: the Cathedral of Funchal. It was consecrated in 1514 by the bishop and was built from twelve different types of volcanic stone. In front of the imposing cathedral stands a statue of Pope John Paul II, who visited the city in 1991.

How do I come to Madeira?

Landing in Funchal

The volcanic island of Madeira is a popular Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean, part of the Madeira archipelago along with the smaller island of Porto Santo and an uninhabited group of islands called Ilhas Desertas. Madeira has about 235,000 inhabitants. You can reach your vacation rental, affordable holiday home, or even a privately rented villa by plane from the mainland. With a direct flight, you can head straight to the airport of Funchal. Santa Catarina Airport is located near Santa Cruz, about 16 kilometers from Madeira's capital, Funchal. From the mainland in Portugal, you can also comfortably fly from the capital Lisbon to Madeira to your accommodation. If you have booked an apartment or house on Porto Santo, you can fly from Madeira's capital with a small plane. There is also a more leisurely option: you can also reach your destination by ferry. Thus, nothing stands in the way of a beautiful holiday by the sea, beach, with numerous attractions.
