About this property
Recanto da Princesa by Madeira Sun Travel
There are places that welcome us. And then, there are places that captivate us. Get to know Recanto da Princesa!
Located just 500 metres from the centre of Funchal, this incredible apartment is the perfect refuge for those who want to be in the heart of the city, yet at the same time enjoy a space of tranquillity and comfort. Inside, the Recanto da Princesa reveals itself as a true urban oasis, with generous and luminous areas, tastefully decorated and designed to provide a practical and pleasant stay.
The apartment has three bedrooms, two of them with private bathrooms, making it ideal for families or groups of friends who want to experience the city as true locals. The kitchen and living room, in an open-space concept, are fully equipped and surrounded by natural light, offering a harmonious environment to relax, cook or simply share moments together.
The location is unbeatable: just a few steps away from a variety of restaurants, cafés, bars and pubs, whilst maintaining the calm and privacy you'd expect from a home away from home. The building features a lift and private parking, ideal for those who hire a car and wish to explore every corner of the island with freedom and comfort.
Princess's Retreat is also the perfect starting point for discovering Madeira. Within a few minutes' drive, you can visit the romantic Monte area, the picturesque village of Câmara de Lobos or the impressive viewpoint of Cabo Girão, Europe's highest cliff and the world's second largest.
Following the Fast Lane, the island opens up before you: from the natural pools of Porto Moniz to the stunning beaches of Seixal, or even to the typical and charming houses of Santana. In just 20 minutes, you can reach Ponta do Sol, the perfect place to contemplate an unforgettable sunset after a day of trails and adventure.
The Princess's Retreat is not just an accommodation. It is an invitation to slow down, breathe and explore Madeira from end to end, in a space that combines comfort, location and charm in a unique way. Here, every moment of your stay is made to be lived and remembered.
Guests are responsible for the proper use of the accommodation and its respective equipment. Damage, loss or misuse identified during or after the stay may be subject to the application of a damage fee, intended to cover repair, replacement or extraordinary cleaning costs.
Since 2017, we have welcomed travellers from all over the world to our beloved island of Madeira, with a commitment to providing 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 closeness, more authenticity, more connection.
That's how Homie was born. More than a new name - a new way of being.
Each stay is thought through in detail to be special and welcoming. Each house has its own story. And each guest is received as an old friend.
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 make the most of Madeira.
Whether you are a traveller looking for a special spot or a property owner looking for someone to care for your home with dedication, you are in the right place.
Please note that check-in after 22:00 is subject to a late check-in fee of €20.
Homie - Your home away from home, on the beautiful island of Madeira.

We loved the rental. It is spacious and modern and in a great location. Easy to walk to many things and near some very good restaurants.The host was great to deal with once we got hooked up an Whatsapp. Very accessible for questions and they even helped with arraigning our crazy early morning transfer to the airport when it was time to leave. I would absolutely rent this place again on a return visit.
This was a very practical property for a winter stay. The on site secure parking was great and knowing the car couldn't get damaged was reassuring. This was a new end of Funchal for us and we enjoyed the Restaurant District all in close proximity. Good flat and good location.
Beautiful property. Walking distance to eateries, bars, groceries, and shopping with underground parking for rental car. Weather was excellent - never too cold and never too uncomfortably hot that open windows (or fans) couldn’t fix. Would 100% stay there again. No negatives.
