Get to know the Nature Retreat by Homie!
Hidden in the heart of the Laurissilva Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this charming stone cottage is a refuge where the rustic meets modern comfort. Every detail has been carefully considered to transform a simple stay into an experience of total relaxation and connection with nature.
On the lower floor, the open-plan living room integrates the kitchen and dining area, creating a harmonious and inviting space, perfect for socialising and sharing moments with family or friends. A comfortable sofa and the television complete the environment, ensuring moments of relaxation and entertainment.
On the upper floor, two cosy bedrooms — one with a double bed and another with two single beds — offer serenity and privacy, while the shared bathroom serves all guests in a practical and elegant manner.
The exterior is a true invitation to leisure, a small furnished patio invites you to read, sunbathe or simply contemplate the sounds and aromas of the forest that surrounds the house in its purest state.
The location is simply unique: a few minutes from the Laurissilva Natural Park, 2 km from Fernandes supermarket and 13 km from Seixal Beach. Here, nature is always at the doorstep, offering moments of peace, well-being and contemplation.
The Retreat in Nature by Homie is not just accommodation. It is an invitation. To slow down, to breathe, to feel. A place where days become memorable and each moment transforms into an unforgettable memory.
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 to care for your home with dedication, you are in the right place.
