About this property

Best views of Funchal. Luxury 3 bed villa with heated pool. Near town centre.

Just imagine relaxing by your private pool with a cold drink watching the cruise liners arriving in the harbour, or dining at night gazing upon a golden Madeirian sunset, and later the beautiful twinkling lights of Funchal spread out before you. The house stands immediately above a lovely area of fruit trees including bananas, grapes, mangos, and figs ... a unique green area so near to the town centre. This amazing house comes with everything you need to make your holiday one to remember.

Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors (with electric blinds) to the lounge, kitchen and 3 bedrooms give stunning views of Funchal in each room from all angles. There are very few houses in Funchal that give these amazing views from both floors.

Fantastic apartment with wonderful views!
Has everything you can ever need inside. Wanted for nothing. Help/info was given instantly of needed. Nice walk down into the town, steep but nothing a cheap bolt/taxi back up can't handle. Thanks

Paradise under a roof
Inasmuch as Madeira is inarguably paradise under the sun, Villa Santa Maria Maior is paradise under a roof. From the hospitality of John & Vanessa (our flight was delayed and John stayed at the villa till 3am to greet us and give us a warm welcome) to the house itself - everything was absolutely perfect. Clean, modern, perfect layout and breathtaking views.

Fantastic Trip
This was our fourth time in Funchal and the property was one of the best we have stayed in. Comfortable and the views are simply stunning. The walk to and from the centre is not for the feint hearted, or unfit, but meant we felt less guilty about all the wonderful food and wine we consumed. Vanessa looked after as very well and she is a real asset. We hope to return!!

Grandioses Haus
Die Zimmer sind geräumig, gut gepflegt und sehr sauber. Die Aussicht über Funchal ist noch spektakulärer als auf den Bildern, und der Zapfhahn wurde ausgiebig genutzt. Übergabe der Wohnung war ebenfalls sehr gut, wir haben viele spannende Tips bekommen was wir alles in der Umgebung anschauen sollten. Vom Inhaber selbst gab es ebenfalls viele wertvolle Tips. Ein weiteres Fass Bier wurde schnellstmöglich organisiert. Als wir ein Problem mit dem Pool hatten, wurde dieses von ihm aus seinem Urlaub schnell gelöst. Dafür auch auf diesem Wege nochmals ein herzliches Dankeschön. tl;dr: Das Haus ist absolut zu empfehlen und hält alles was die Bilder versprechen.

Fabulous property in Funchal
We recently stayed at Santa Maria Maior in Funchal! This property has it all—great views of the city, an outdoor bar and pool area, big bedrooms and bathrooms, a washer and dryer—and a nice kitchen and large living area. We walked downtown many times-and enjoyed hanging out in the pool. The house even has a cozy outdoor library and reading nook! I highly recommend this property!
