The first island to be discovered by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture, history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities, added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops, shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a thoroughly modern atmosphere.

The property is very spacious and comfortably has space for 6 if it’s full, there are loads of places to relax, whether inside, outside in the shade or sun. Pool is great and views to the ocean are amazing. The walk up to Garajau is around 10 minutes, with a variety of restaurants, small supermarket and greengrocers. We also used the Bolt app to get a taxi into Funchal is often under €10, and apart from Sunday morning which took a little longer - had cars available no longer than 15 mins. Fully recommend, and hope to make it back again. ##### Nev H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter B.

Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan B., UK Feb 9, 2019 #### A perfect holiday home. We were two couples so villa size was a little overwhelming. For a family with kids it would be magical. Sadly weather not warm enough to use pool since we are wimps! Our absolute joy was the outside space and the glorious view and sunsets over the ocean. Location was good, mainly quiet area apart from the dog choir at night ! We only ever managed to get the bus once to Funchal it was really scary ! Taxis from outside hotel Dom Pedro and the whole island were very reasonable and a great way to see the island. Eating out locally was good. The villa was spotless & well managed, transfers excellent, contact with team easy and effective. Would definitely return. Thank you ##### Jan B.

En effet que ce soit pour le transfert de l'aéroport, la mise à disposition à une heure tardive de la maison très confortable, la propreté dans laquelle nous l'avons trouvée, la parfaite concordance avec la description et les images sur le site internet, la réactivité à régler au plus vite les petits problèmes constatés, la facilité de location du véhicule et son prix tout compris, tout a été parfait. Merci encore et bonne continuation Bien cordialement, G.André ##### Gilles A. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dorte Jarnbak J.

Preheated pool was a must for us, and it worked perfectly. Linda, who meet us at the house, was very kind and helpful. Big sunny barbeque area. Everything just modern and in good condition. Highly recommended. ##### Dorte Jarnbak J. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlie R. May 8, 2013 #### Ocean front villa - Garajau, Madeira This villa was as described. It is spacious, but also has quiet comfortable areas to relax. Everywhere was clean and beautifully presented. The kitchen is well equipped; we stayed for 2 weeks and used most of the domestic appliances including the cooker and washing machine. There is a games room downstairs with snooker and I recommend the table football...great fun! The views are simply breathtaking, with nothing to obscure the gorgeous blue sea. The pool was clean and maintained and the gardens appear to have recently had newly planted flowers and shrubs. . Each terrace is a delight to use and the owners have put a lot of thought into providing the essentials for their visitors. It is about a 10 min walk to the shops and restaurants which cater for your every need. We found the local bakery and coffee bars offered delicious cakes bread etc. The restaurants in Garajau are of a high standard with a good selection of fresh fish + meat. We used both the bus and taxis with ease and found local people helpful and friendly. The owner has a handbook which was very useful. I would recommend this villa the location is excellent and the facilities made our stay in Madeira a delight. ##### Charlie R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Fallsview Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Fallsview-Casino-Hotels.0-l6072507-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Allegro Madeira - Adults Only - Member of Barceló Hotel Group](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Allegro-Madeira-Adults-Only.h1548302.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Royal All Inclusive Ocean & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Royal-Premium-All-Inclusive-Ocean-Spa-Resort.h487421.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels.d179898.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pestana CR7 Funchal](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-CR7-Funchal.h15737408.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ocean Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Hotel-Ocean-Gardens.h2591201.Hotel-Information) > > [NEXT - Savoy Signature](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-NEXT.h71119006.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Casino Park Ocean and SPA Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Casino-Park-Ocean-And-SPA-Hotel.h14349.Hotel-Information) > > [Reid's Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Madeira](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Reids-Palace.h11185.Hotel-Information) > > [Calheta Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Calheta-Hotels-Calheta-Beach-All-Inclusive-Savoy-Signature.h1056570.Hotel-Information) > > [Saccharum Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Calheta-Hotels-Saccharum-Resort-Spa-Savoy-Signature.h10225046.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Grand Premium Ocean Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Grand-Premium-Ocean-Resort.h1052356.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Madeira Mare](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Melia-Madeira-Mare.h2264070.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence at Vila Porto Mare](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-The-Residence-At-Vila-Porto-Mare.h8034952.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Carlton Madeira Ocean Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Carlton-Madeira-Ocean-Resort-Hotel.h14327.Hotel-Information) > > [Enotel Lido](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Enotel-Lido.h881176.Hotel-Information) > > [Sé Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Se-Boutique-Hotel.h19531083.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Clearwater](https://www.expedia.ca/Clearwater-Hotels.d6139224.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Savoy Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World - Savoy Signature](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Savoy-Palace-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World-Savoy-Signature.h32089418.Hotel-Information) > > [TURIM Santa Maria Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Turim-Santa-Maria-Hotel.h39013081.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Santa Cruz Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Santa-Cruz.h1376009.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliff Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-The-Cliff-Bay.h190859.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lis/toronto-to-lisbon) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Turkish Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Turkish-Airlines-Flights.cTK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver.d178315.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Alaska](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Alaska.d203.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Packages > [Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/178276/Las-Vegas) > > [Hawaii Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Hawaii.d213.Destination-Travel-Guides)
