For international owners

Madeira doesn't have to be where you live to be where your property is cared for.

Many property owners live outside Madeira. Managing guests, cleaners, maintenance, bookings and unexpected problems from another country can quickly become a full-time job.

HABITATS gives you a local team you can trust.
