The kitchen and living room, in an open-concept layout, are fully equipped and bathed in 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, while maintaining the calm and privacy one expects from a home away from home. The building has an elevator and private parking, ideal for those who rent a car and wish to explore every corner of the island with freedom and comfort.
The Princess’s Retreat is also the perfect starting point for discovering Madeira. In just a few minutes by car, you can visit the romantic Monte area, the picturesque village of Câmara de Lobos, or the impressive Cabo Girão viewpoint, the largest cliff in Europe and the second largest in the world.
Following the Via Rápida, the island opens up before you: from the natural pools of Porto Moniz to the stunning beaches of Seixal, or even 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 uniquely combines comfort, location, and charm. Here, every moment of your stay is made to be lived and remembered.
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.
