Nice, big apartman at good location

We really enjoyed our stay, the view from the balcony, the walks nearby. Nice apartman, big rooms, well equipped kitchen. One parking place included in the garage, that is really useful!

Beautiful spacious apartment

This apartment is perfect for a long break. It is a home from home with everything you need available. With the added bonus of a sea view and Madeiran gardens. All rooms are spacious with plenty of storage and good quality linen is provided. It is in a fabulous location with easy access to the forum shopping centre and beautiful walks along the promenade. The 3 local restaurants are all outstanding. Highly recommend.

Thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the apartment spacious, well-equipped, and ideally located. It’s wonderful to know that it felt like a home away from home and that you appreciated the sea views, gardens, and nearby amenities. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced. The issue with the bed toppers not being in place upon arrival should not have happened, and we appreciate your patience while this was resolved. We also regret the maintenance matters you mentioned inside the apartment and will ensure these are properly reviewed and addressed. Regarding the building upkeep, although it is not under our direct management, we completely understand how this impacts the overall experience. We will pass your comments on to the condominium management to encourage improvements in this area. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and recommendation. We truly hope to welcome you back in the future.

Perfect Apartment

Really enjoyed staying at this property. It was in a great location close to food shopping, restaurants, lovely walkway and a black stone beach. Felt the area was very safe. The two balcanies were very nice and we ate our meals on one or the other depending on sun. Would definitely recommend others to stay at this apartment.

Great location

Overall we had an enjoyable stay without any problems. The property was well equipped with good internet and comfy furniture. The location is great with lots of restaurants nearby and only a short walk (uphill) to the forum for grocery, fruit and veg. It's a lovely walk either east in Funchal or west to Camara de Lobos, although there are a few serious slopes involved. It would have been nice to have had some comfy chairs on the front balcony (as shown in the listing) but these had been moved to the back terrace and were too big and heavy for us to move. Having said that it didn't detract too much from the very pleasant outdoor experience with lovely views out to sea and overall we had a lovely relaxing stay.

Schöne Immobilie mit einigen Mängeln

Die Lage und die Umgebung der Wohnung sind einfach super. Alles gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Aber die Immobilie ist stark renovierungsbedürftig. Nicht mehr der neuste Standard. (Betten nicht gut, Bäder alt mit Badewannen, Wohnzimmermöbel alle durchgesessen und noch weitere kleine Mängel) Wir hatten trotzdem wunderschöne 4 Wochen dort. Ich kann es auch jedem weiterempfehlen aber man darf nicht sehr pingelig sein.

Liebe Gäste, vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung. Es freut uns, dass Ihnen die Lage und unsere schnelle Kommunikation gefallen haben. Wir bedauern jedoch, dass einige Aspekte Ihres Aufenthalts nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen haben. Ihre Hinweise zu den Betten, dem Mobiliar und dem umgestürzten Blumentopf nehmen wir ernst und werden diese an unser Team weitergeben, um Verbesserungen vorzunehmen. Trotz der genannten Punkte freuen wir uns, dass Sie Ihren Aufenthalt dennoch genießen konnten und unsere Unterkunft weiterempfehlen würden. Ihre Meinung hilft uns sehr, unseren Service zu verbessern. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder begrüßen zu dürfen.

Die Wohnlage ist sehr schön und ruhig. Man hat eine wundervolle seitliche Aussicht auf das Meer. Allerdings ist die gesamte Ausstattung schon in die Jahre gekommen. Bei den Betten wäre bereits ein Topper hilfreich da die Betten wirklich unbequem sind. Die Küche war super ausgestattet für eigenes Kochen. Nichtsdestotrotz war alles ok und wir haben uns dort wohlgefühlt. Die Gastgeber waren immer erreichbar und es hat alles gut geklappt auch der Checkin und Checkout.

Es war alles bestens ausgestattet und sauber. Die Bilder passen alle gut. Einzig die Matratzen waren etwas hart.

Worst travelling experience ever

We have arrived as planned but the code to the key locker did not work despite numerous attempts over 30 minutes. We tried to reach the host many times by phone but with no result. We were forced to go to a hotel for our stay and are definitely not happy with the experience… And now the host does not want to refund us the money. Unbelievable.

Fabulous place

Huge, spacious apartment with sun terraces front and back. Best holiday apartment I have ever stayed in. Well equipped kitchen, two large double bedrooms and bathrooms and an enormous living room. I could happily live in this place and would have no hesitation in returning.
