Since 2017, we have been receiving travellers from all over the world on our beloved Madeira Island, with the commitment to provide memorable experiences and excellent service. We started as Madeira Sun Travel, a name that reflected the sun, comfort, and welcoming spirit that has always guided us. Over time, we realised that we wanted to go further: more proximity, more authenticity, more connection. This is how Homie was born. More than a new name — a new way of being. Hey Homie, we believe that travelling is more than discovering new places — it's about feeling at home, even far away from home. That's why we don't just hand over keys: we offer warm welcomes, recommendations that turn into unforgettable discoveries, and accommodations cared for with the same affection we would treat our own home. Each stay is thought out in detail to be special and welcoming. Each house has its own story. And each guest is received like an old friend. Our team, composed of experts in hospitality, communication, finance, maintenance, and design, is committed to taking care of every stage of the experience — from pre-booking to check-out. We work every day to create stays that leave lasting memories. We are recognised for our personalised attention, the trust of owners who choose us to manage their spaces, and the positive reviews from our guests, which reflect the quality of service we provide. Beyond comfort and hospitality, we also provide, upon request, additional services such as car rental, activity bookings, personalised experiences and much more — all so that you can enjoy Madeira to the fullest. Be a traveller looking for a special spot or a homeowner seeking someone who will care for your home with dedication, you are in the right place. Homie - Your home away from home, on the beautiful island of Madeira. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils -
