About this property

Northern Secret by Madeira Sun Travel

Welcome to Northern Secret of Homie!



Located in the heart of Ponta Delgada, north of Madeira Island, this hidden house, the best kept secret, amid nature, is in excellent condition. Ideal for those seeking traditional, spacious and welcoming accommodation, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, good for resting, breathing pure air and spending quality time with family. The property has a perfect veranda to enjoy a coffee or tea whilst enjoying the surrounding tranquillity, listening to the sea.



This house stands out for its classic style and decoration, as well as for privileging natural light in its interior. With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this accommodation has a capacity for a maximum of 5 guests. It also has a fully equipped kitchen with all the necessary equipment for a peaceful stay and to satisfy all your needs.



Beyond all the amenities, the accommodation also offers reserved parking for guests on the street.



The house is located on the North Coast of Madeira Island, more specifically in the parish of Ponta Delgada, municipality of São Vicente. Make the most of your stay to explore this locality! Enjoy the views over the North Coast of the Island by visiting the viewpoints closest to the accommodation. There are also small supermarkets, some cafés and restaurants. In the surrounding area, you will find other points of tourist interest such as Miradouro da Ladeira, Miradouro da Roça and Miradouro do Bom Jesus.



The village of São Vicente is 10 minutes by car from the parish of Ponta Delgada. There are some points of interest to visit, such as the locality of Fajã da Areia, where you can enjoy a rocky beach. The city of Funchal is about 40 minutes by car away.



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 been welcoming travellers from all over the world to our beloved Madeira Island, 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. Every stay is thought through in detail to be special and welcoming.



Each house has its own story. And each guest is welcomed as an old friend.



Beyond comfort and hospitality, we also provide, upon request, additional services such as car rental, activity booking, personalised experiences and much more - all so you can enjoy Madeira to the fullest.



Be a traveller looking for a special place or a property owner looking for someone to care for your home with dedication, you are in the right place.



Homie - Your home away from home, on the beautiful island of Madeira

Great view

Great view - ocean, mountains, waterfall. Good starting point for hikes. The steps in the house from first to second floor are very small and steep. Not suitable for children and elderly people. Surroundings were absolutely quiet - the street up was closed at this time.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Ocean not visible apart from from hall way. Really odd layout. Roof has very rusty furniture we would not use and what is not shown is there is a building /rubbish site on one side with a portaloo and the other side of property can be seen into from road.Dirty -dirt on floor, surfaces, grubby cupboard doors /handles, bathroom unit drawer had loads of hair in. Broken chair; old toothpick lying on chair. Bedroom damp and made clothes damp. Cold.Fiasco for 3 hours with alarm going off on entry. Not advised the access was restricted due to road closure. Really difficult to communicate with -emails sent of concerns and nothing done to address. Had 2 other lots of accommodation in Madeira which were excellent -this was really poor and we spent 13 hours out a day as it was not comfortable /relaxing at the property -waste of money.
