Our stay of 8 people was wonderful, the place is spacious with many outdoor terraces to enjoy a large group. The beds were comfy and the house was very clean. It would have been helpful to have more kitchen supplies and the communication initially was challenging until we discovered the check in guy was not the main person of contact. Overall, a wonderful stay by all. The location is great too but it is a very steep hill but not unmanageable. We would definitely stay there again.

Good location to be in the center of funchal
+ Much space for a bigger group of people (e.g. 6 persons)
+ Great view from the rooftop
+ Very friendly stuff
- Little bit noisy neighbourhood with barking dogs
- Special Driveway to the house and garage (But it is feasible for experienced drivers and if you don't have a too big car)

Villa Boa Vista - Good plan
Very nice apartment, well situated in Funchal with a very nice view. The room service is very good also. With some small present/ good to welcome the renters, this apartment could deserve a 5 stars rating

Very comfortable home with fantastic view and comfortable beds. Lots of room, large kitchen, great location. Make sure to learn about how to use the showers as the hot water will decrease if more than one person is trying to shower at a time ( the water will get cold). Very easy location to walk to many attractions, and catch taxis at the base of the hill. Unbelievably beautiful up on the porch, a great place for wine.

Beautiful house, with plenty of space, a good location, well maintained and managed. It was unusually hot for this time of year and there wasn't any air-conditioning. Electric fans were available for the bedrooms.

Liked: Location
Disliked: Check-in, communication
The rugs were not safe….they easily slid across the wooden floors. Although the upper deck had a spectacular view , there was very limited view otherwise. The kitchen was poorly supplied. The few glasses , both wine and other, were discolored with a thick white film? I tried to call the manager twice when we could not find the appliance manual for the oven and he never returned call. The instructions provided said the appliance manuals were in a drawer in the kitchen. The following day we found them on an elevated shelf . Overall okay, but definitely not up to par with the many homes I have rented in Madeira over the past 10 years. Particularly at the price

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We regret that some aspects of your stay did not fully meet your expectations and apologise that our communication was not as clear as it should have been. Regarding the appliance manuals, they were stored in a different cupboard than indicated, and we will update the instructions accordingly.
Please note that prices vary depending on the time of year, and during the New Year period the property is particularly sought after. The apartment has recently been renovated and offers a privileged view over Funchal Bay, including one of the world’s most famous New Year’s Eve fireworks displays.
Your comments will be reviewed by our team in order to make improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide a better stay.
Lovely stay in spacious house on Rua Conde Carvalhal, Funchal
Lovely, spacious house with plenty of room for everyone. Loved the rooftop terrace overlooking the city and cruise port. Good location, had fun trying to work out the least steep walk back to the house after evening meal in town. Steep road up to house but then most road are steep in Madeira.
Could do with better utensils in the kitchen and hand towels in all the toilets not just the bedrooms. Also a bigger wardrobe in second double bedroom would be helpful, otherwise first class.

Great location close to town
Great location within a 15-20 minute walk to town depending on where you are going. Let's face it, everywhere in Madeira requires an uphill walk back to somewhere and this one isn't bad...however, I do really need to point out the 45 degree short road up to the driveway to this home which can't be seen from Google Maps. 60 foot walk up, maybe? This one caught us off guard with luggage as we had the Taxi drop us off at the bottom and on the approach, we all dreaded the walk. It's do-able but not for the faint of heart. The Uber to take us back to the airport would not drive up so we had to roll the luggage back down the hill on departure. At the very bottom is immediate busy road so you need to roll your luggage to nearby driveway to catch your Taxi etc. Again, knowing this helps and shouldn't deter you from booking as the house is great. That is the only reason for the 4 stars.
The home is spacious and the beds are quite comfortable. The house and area is very quiet so if you need white noise, there are fans in each room. All the amenities you need.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the great location, the spacious and comfortable home, and the quiet surroundings.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the uphill access to the driveway.
Your comments about the missing coffee pods, sugar and welcome treats are noted. These small touches matter, and we will work on reinforcing this with our team.
Thank you again for your helpful feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future for an even smoother stay.

Schlechter als erwartet
Kontras:
- Ärgerliche Check-In mit Problemen
- Küchenutensilien muffig (vor allem die Gläser in der Vitrine)
- Geschirrspüler defekt (oberes Fach mehrfach ausgebrochen)
- Dachterrassse nicht begehbar (Ersatzschlüsse trotz mehrfachen Nachfragens nicht organisierbar), was ein absolutes No-Go ist (wird das nicht vorher geprüft?)
- Moskito-Paradis sowohl im Garten als auch im Haus (Moskito-Steckdosen nicht mehr funktionstüchtig)
- Ausstattung der Zimmer im 1. Stock nicht gleichmäßig: Ein riesen Zimmer mit "Luxus-Bad" vs. ein kleines Kinderzimmer ohne Bad vs. Mini-Zimmer mit eigenem Bad
- Abfluss in einer Dusche verstopft
- Duschhalterungen mehrfach runtergebrochen
- Badezimmer insgesamt in schlechten Zustand, insbesondere Duschkabinen
...
Pros:
- Größe des Hauses
- Fernsehzimmer, Wohnzimmer
In der Summe nicht nochmal.

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus dank der Großzügigkeit und beeindruckenden Aussichten
Wir hatten das Vergnügen, zwei Wochen lang in einem Ferienhaus zu verweilen, zusammen mit einer Gruppe von 6 Erwachsenen und 3 Kindern. Das Haus selbst ist sowohl geräumig als auch beeindruckend und bietet viel Platz zum Entspannen und Genießen. Die Dachterrasse mit atemberaubender Aussicht ermöglichte es uns, die natürliche Schönheit der Umgebung in vollen Zügen zu genießen. Im Inneren bot das großzügig geschnittene Wohn- und Esszimmer bequem Platz für alle Erwachsenen, was es zu einem idealen Treffpunkt für Freunde und Familie machte. Der professionelle Reinigungsservice und die frischen Bettlaken nach einer Woche sorgten dafür, dass unser Aufenthalt sowohl erfrischend als auch angenehm war
