We had a great two weeks staying in Funchal. Lovely well maintained property near coast. A good base for exploring the island and plenty of good restaurants locally.
Well-located apartment with plenty of local amenities and an easy 10-15 bus ride into the centre of Funchal. Comfortable and well fitted out, we enjoyed our stay here.

We enjoyed our stay in Rose Marie’s apartment. The location was perfect with grocery store in shopping mall across the street. Also access to taxis and the bus stop was just out side the apartment building entrance. Lots of good restaurants nearby. We enjoyed many meals and glasses of wine on the balcony. Views of the ocean were spectacular. Complimentary maid service once a week was really appreciated. Thanks again Rose Marie. We loved Madeira

We had the pleasure of staying at this property. Rosemarie is a great host, very attentive, first time I had a host greet us in person and walk us through the property. Even provided some staples for the fridge! Very thoughtful. Property is within walking distance to many good restaurants and shopping. Convenient Taxi stand in front of the property. We took a taxi to the outdoor market in Funchal and walked back. About an hour but it was a nice leisurely stroll. We will definitely stay at this property again when we return!
