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

The very best views of Funchal from the harbour to the mountains from the lounge, kitchen and all 3 bedrooms. Modern luxury villa with heated infinity pool. 10 minutes walk (less than 5 minutes by car, taxi, bus) to the historic old town, town centre and seafront.

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!!

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!

Fabulous house and location
We stayed for 19 days and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The views are stunning and the pool refreshing. The house has everything you need both indoors and out. The walk into town is down VERY steep roads, some with no pavements, which can be a bit unnerving, but we always took a taxi back (around 5 euros). John is very responsive and Maria did a good check in for us. We miss it already

Great location with beautiful views!
We enjoyed our stay on Madeira! Maria was super helpful and responsive. The house was very comfortable and the location was superb! We enjoyed sitting on the deck and even used the pool in March. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing, spacious and very clean Villa
We have just spent 12 nights in beautiful Madeira. Boa Vista is a very spacious and clean villa which we highly recommend. It has everything you need to make your holiday relaxing and comfortable. Thank you to John and Maria for making us feel so welcome. We loved making precious family memories in Funchal 😎

Spectacular
A fabulous apartment situated in the attractive suburb of Rochinha overlooking the port and centre of Funchal. Spacious and well-appointed with full-length southwest facing windows on both floors; an attractive deck surrounding a heated infinity pool and plenty of space for six - if not more. Watch the cruise liners arrive from your bed and celebrate the setting of the evening sun over the distant hills. One double bedroom has its own en-suite; the other and the twin room share another bathroom. The ground floor has a kitchen diner, plus a vast lounge with dining area. Below is a huge garage. the pool is heated. Rua da Boa Vista is a (VERY steep) hill and a 15 minute walk down to the centre, the market and many, many cafés, bars and restaurants. Forget about walking back - taxis (Funchal probably has more taxis per square meter than anywhere else in the west) cost between €5 and €7, and everyone speaks English. There's also a (no. 32) bus every half-hour or so. The local shops - five minutes away - offer basic provisions but anything else will require a visit to the well-stocked supermarkets in the town centre. A taxi can get you to the airport in 20 minutes... not that you'll want to leave. This is a truly spectacular apartment...

Wow villa!!!
It was a great pleasure to stay in John's villa. It was beyond my expectations. Such a luxury! We have 7 person and we really enjoyed the stay there. Maria is very kind and helpful host, we received very warm welcome. This villa is interesting piece of architecture, interior design and decoration with the most breathtaking views. Everything is new and very clean. Great kitchen is fully equipped with high quality machines. The villa is located in a good place, 10 min walk to Funchal city center Av do Mar. The villa has a huge garage, so there is no need to worry about parking. WOW factors: Swimming Pool, Amazing Views, garage, space. Personally, I recommend villa to everyone who want to explore and relax in Madeira,Funchal.
