Gem of a House by Madeira Sun Travel
There are places that welcome us. And then, there are places that conquer us.
We present Gem of a House by Homie!
With a stunning view over Funchal Bay and the surrounding mountains, this villa is the perfect setting to watch the famous New Year's fireworks display or simply contemplate the natural beauty of Madeira.
Located just about 1 km from Funchal Marina, Gem of a House offers spacious accommodation, elegant interiors and exteriors designed for moments of relaxation and socialising.
Upon entering, we are greeted by a spacious living room, carefully furnished to offer maximum comfort. Natural light fills the space, creating a welcoming and elegant atmosphere.
On the same floor, there is a small office, ideal for those who travel for work but do not want to give up comfort and tranquillity.
The fully equipped kitchen invites you to prepare everything from small meals to elaborate dinners, with all the necessary utensils at your disposal. A true invitation to gastronomic moments with family or friends.
On the upper floor, the villa reveals four bedrooms, all with double beds, one of which is a suite, perfect for large families or groups of friends. With three bathrooms in total — including one with a bathtub and shower, one with a shower and a WC — comfort and privacy are ensured for all guests.
The exterior of the Gem of a House is as impressive as the interiors: an outdoor living area, a barbecue space and a private garden create the perfect setting for unforgettable gatherings, sunbathing and unique memories on the island of Madeira.
Among the available amenities, private parking, washing machine, and dishwasher stand out.
The location combines the tranquillity of a high-standard residential area with proximity to the historic centre of Funchal, allowing easy access to restaurants, cafés, beaches and cultural attractions.
The Miradouro do Pico dos Barcelos and the bathing areas of Lido and Poças do Gomes are just 3 km away, while Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport is 20 km away.
A Gem of a House by Homie is not just a villa — it is an invitation to live Madeira in great style, comfort and privacy, where each detail transforms your stay into a truly memorable experience.
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.
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.
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.

This villa is located a little off center, about a good 15 minutes walk down to the center, meaning that there is a good hill to climb back up. Grocery store is not close by. Cleanliness is ok, with the exception of the shower in the shared bathroom upstairs where there's a lot of molding and even small live black worms. Neighbour's dogS can be tiersome as they seem to be put out and left there on their own for extended period of time. But the view is well worth it and the general comfort of the place is very satisfactory. 3 couples can easily fit, 2 of them sharing a bathroom, as there is 1 en-suite bedroom. It is equiped for babies too.
The property delivered everything it promised. It is in a prime location with great views of the harbour/city. The city centre was easy to access on foot or by the bus which had a stop not more than 200 metres from the gate. When we rented a vehicle the main highway(VR 1) was easily accessed within 3 to 5 minutes.
The place was well appointed for long stays, the beds were very comfortable and the house was very secure. It would have been nice if a just basic condiments were included (mustard, ketchup, sugar etc) to start.

Grundsätzlich ist alles vorhanden. Ein paar mehr Handtücher hätten es sein können. Unsere Männnertruppe hat sich dort aber sehr wohl gefühlt. Als störend war nur das nächtliche Gebell der Hunde aus der direkten Nachbarschaft. Das Haus kann man gut weiterempfehlen. Die Möbilierung des Hauses ist etwas veraltet.
