Ivy Cottage by Madeira Sun Travel

There are places that welcome us. And then, there are places that conquer us.

Get to know the Ivy Cottage by Homie.



Completely surrounded by nature and located on the north coast of Madeira, this house is a true retreat for those wishing to escape the daily hustle and bustle. Inserted in an idyllic setting, surrounded by primordial forest, Ivy Cottage offers numerous opportunities to enjoy nature, from walks and levadas to picnic parks, trails and viewpoints that reveal the raw beauty of the island.



Inside, the dwelling has two double bedrooms and an additional room capable of accommodating up to four people, ensuring space and comfort for families or groups of friends.



On the ground floor, the living room and kitchen in an open space invite socialising, creating a welcoming environment for moments of sharing and relaxation.



The exterior is equally enchanting: a fully equipped barbecue and a magnificent view over the valley make any outdoor meal unforgettable.



The location of the housing allows one to feel like a true local inhabitant. Nearby, the Old Bridge, one of the oldest and most romantic bridges in Madeira, and viewpoints such as the Miradouro do Encontro or the Miradouro do Cabouco invite memorable discoveries. Just a few minutes by car is the heart of the Laurissilva Forest, with famous trails such as Os Balcões, Portela and Chão das Feiteiras.



The Casa da Fajã Grande is still located near emblematic places such as Faial de Santana, with its typical Madeiran houses, local gastronomy and tranquil atmosphere, or Porto da Cruz, known for its beaches and vibrant energy that attracts surfers and visitors.



More than just accommodation, the Ivy Cottage by Homie is an invitation to immerse yourself in nature, breathe the pure air of Madeira, and experience moments of true serenity.



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.



Hey Homie, we believe that travelling is more than discovering new places — it's about feeling at home, even far away from home. That's why we don't just hand over keys: we offer warm welcomes, recommendations that turn into unforgettable discoveries, and accommodations cared for with the same affection we would treat our own home.



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.



Our team, composed of experts in hospitality, communication, finance, maintenance, and design, is committed to taking care of every stage of the experience — from pre-booking to check-out. We work every day to create stays that leave lasting memories.



We are recognised for our personalised attention, the trust of owners who choose us to manage their spaces, and the positive reviews from our guests, which reflect the quality of service we provide.



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.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard. Limited housekeeping is available.

Cozy cottage in the middle of nowhere

It’s a nice cottage with almost everything you need for a good time. Unfortunately is there a terrible smell in the house. In the very small village are a lot of different animals living. So it can happen that dogs or sheep wake u up. Next to this u can hear the airplanes from the airport even if it’s “far” away. Maybe that depends on the wind. Unfortunately there is no fire wood for the fire place and we didn’t find a spot to buy it. In our first accomodating it was included. It would have been much more easier and warmer to head up the place with fire. We booked the house with the two of us and from my point of view it’s pretty small for a group of 8 people. The bathroom is really small and the shower not really nice. I had another idea of the cottage regarding to the really high price we paid. From my point of the price-performance ratio is not fair, that’s what’s make me disappointed about the stay. The company is nice, the even gave us a new years present.
