Monte Palace Gardens vacation rentals

All was as promised. Hostess was attentive and friendly. Would certainly consider staying here again.

We are a family of five from New York, and this was our first time to Madeira. Friends who had been there before recommended we use VRBO. We selected this house based on its proximity to Funchal and its view of the ocean. We were very happy having selected this house! It was very clean and spacious for everyone to spread out and not be on top of each other. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary dishes, pots, pans, and utensils for us to some cooking, though we took full advantage of the nearby restaurants. There was a large supermarket just two minutes away by car which allowed us to purchase whatever we needed. After exploring Madeira each day (we rented a car), it was always great to come back to the house and relax poolside which was overlooking the ocean. We felt very comfortable and at home in the house. I should also note that right down the road from the house is a cable car that will take you down to the beach. The beach is rocky, but there is a nice restaurant there with lounge chairs. With respect to the management company handling the house, I greatly appreciated the strong communication they had with us before we even arrived in Madeira. They readily responded to email inquiries, provided clear directions on how to get to the house, and also gave us recommendations on places to go. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this house and would highly recommend it to other travelers to Madeira. We look forward to returning again one day!

Very clean apartment in a very central location. Buses stop nearby and you can walk to all the restaurants and the local beach.

Babosas Village is a delightful inn with incredible staff, fabulous views, great food and a fantastic location for those who want to explore the gardens and hiking trails. The apartment was spacious, well appointed and serviced daily.
