Lovely clean appartment in great location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this spacious appartment right on the seafront. Fantastic views from the balcony, very chilled and relaxing. Great location for walking to Funchal or Camara do Lobos, but you need to be fit to walk up the steps or hill. Taxis and buses readily available and buses on time. Lots to do on this lovely island. Would highly recommend and stay here again, thankyou.

Centrally located beachfront condo!

This apartment is exactly as described. It is a well equipped 2 bedroom condo right on Praia Formosa with beautiful sunsets. The beachfront boardwalk allows you to walk either to Funchal or Camara dos Lobos, with many restaurants nearby. Sandra, the owner, was very responsive and helpful. We would choose this place again, and highly recommend it to others.

6 weeks in Paradise

We stayed in this unit for 6 weeks in March. We were very happy with the accommodation. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots and new frying pans. The beds were very comfortable. The view was amazing. It was about a 10 minute walk on the promenade and through the tunnel to catch #2 bus to Funchal. The bus to catch #1 up the hill was a bit more challenging. The hosts were quick to respond to 2 issues that were resolved quickly. I would highly recommend this unit.

Great ocean view!

The Atlantic Garden Apt was wonderful…any closer to the ocean you would be wet! The rooms were spacious & never felt congested with 4 adults. Roomy balcony overlooking the pool and the ocean with great flow of air into the apartment The large kitchen was well stocked with appliances & dishes. We loved having 2 seperate bathrooms for each couple. Bus stop very near & a boardwalk fronted the ocean that lead to a few eating places and eventually to the town of Funchal...made for great walks & the only flat place in town! A 5 star for everything EXCEPT the mattresses..much too firm/ hard…a foam topper would be a quick & easy solution. If ever visiting Madeira again, would love to stay at this place..even with a firm mattress!

Atlantic gardens

A good month’s holiday overall. With a superb beach front location the apartment is spacious with a well equipped kitchen area. However we did have a problem with the initial cleanliness & maid service. Also the second bedroom desperately needs new mattresses & pillows ( I had to wash the pillows!) Also it would be good to update the description on the website as there isn’t a gym ( I was expecting to be able to use an exercise bike!) or a pool table as mentioned currently.

Lovely Apartment

We stayed at this apartment for a week but could have stayed longer! The apartment is comfortable & spacious. It also has a lovely balcony which overlooks the swimming pool & the Atlantic. There is a comfortable 3 piece suite as well as a table with 4 chairs inside but to be perfectly honest we spent majority of our time on the balcony as there is a table with 4 chairs & 2 loungers, perfect for meal times & just relaxing watching the waves crashing on the beach. There is washing machine in the kitchen with an airer on the balcony so washing is no problem. It was so nice coming back from our holiday knowing that we didn't have too much washing to do! WiFi also in the apartment too which is really handy & the staff at reception are really friendly and helpful. Defiantly worth a visit!

So relaxed

We had 6 weeks here in Jan/Feb 2025. Amazing balcony which afforded us super views every day, sunsets were lovely, two days of storms were just incredible, but the weather was mainly hot. The kitchen was perfect for me, a chef and I was able to use the incredible fresh food Madeira offers to gain 4lbs , if you use kilos you work it out. The furniture is a bit dated but then so are we and we were really comfortable. We have stayed in Madeira, hotels and apartments for twenty plus years. First time we felt seriously miserable to go home.Cleaners were fun and efficient.We loved the no fuss check in key safe.Booking it next year.There is always a bad side. The fire alarm sounded while we were there. My husband is deaf, not totally deaf he wears hearing aids and he did not hear the alarm. It seriously needs updating to one that sounds in every apartment.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment which was in a nice location, just outside of Funchal and right on the beach. The apartment had everything we needed for the stay and the pool at the complex was ideal for some afternoon swimming. It was very hot when we stayed and it would have been good if there was air conditioning, but there were fans in the bedrooms and living room which helped. Communication with our host was superb and it was very easy to get access to the apartment. Would definitely visit again.

Location idéale pour visiter madère

Cet appartement est idéal pour la découverte de l île. Idéalement situé près du centre de Funchal sur la plage de formosa. L appartement est très spacieux (100m2) deux grandes chambres et deux salle de bain. Il est très bien équipé, il y avait même des serviettes pour la piscine! très bien orienté pour voir le coucher du soleil ! situé dans une résidence avec une piscine et un accès direct sur la plage de galets. il y a plusieurs resto sympa proches, et juste en bas un bar au bord de plage un bar pour les apéros. Un chemin longe la plage tout le long pour se balader. Je recommande vraiment cet appartement, il y a un parking dans la résidence. la propriétaire est très disponible.

Leider nicht so toll!

Die Wohnung befand sich in einem nicht so sauberen Zustand.In der Küche lagen noch Brotkrümel unter dem Herd und die Arbeitsplatte kebte stellenweise.Der Boden war nicht vernünftig gereinigt so das Barfuss laufen nicht möglich war.Im großen Bad waren noch Haare vom Vogänger:innen auf dem Boden.Die Möbelierung war auch schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.Außer die Küche.Die war etwas neuer.Bereits 2019 waren wir in diesem Haus zu Gast allerdings in einem anderen Appartment.Da sah die Sache schon etwas anders aus. Auch waren leider im Haus und am Haus diverse Baustellen, so das die Erholung etwas zu kurz kam!

Hello Dieter, Sorry to hear that you had problems with the cleanliness. You didn't mention anything when I contacted you during the stay. We did renovation in the apartment last year and the kitchen furniture and the appliances were changed just in November 2022. Probably the decoration just didn't fit to your taste. Anyway - thank you for your stay!

wir haben die lange Zeit sehr genossen

Die Wohnung selbst ist sehr schön und geräumig und entspricht der Beschreibung. Die Lage so direkt am Atlantik ist für Funchal einmalig. Das Haus ist leicht zu finden. Direkt am Eingang des Komplexes befindet sich die End-bzw. Anfangsstation des Flughafenbusses. Die wöchentliche Reinigung bzw. der Bettwäsche- und Handtuch-Tausch klappte gut. Die Umgebungsbeschreibung der Wohnung ist allerdings überholt. Das Pestana-Hotel ist geschlossen(soll aber ev. wieder in Betrieb gehen). Damit entfielen auch die Restaurants, die Poolbar und das Essen im Freien. Der direkte Zugang zum Strand war wegen umfangreichen Baumaßnahmen der Ozeanpromenade (Fertigstellung im Mai geplant) gesperrt. Dadurch war auch der kurze Weg zum Einkaufen und zur Lido-Promenade bzw. zur Bushaltestelle der Linie 2. versperrt. So blieb nur ein sehr kräftezehrender steiler Weg mit einer Treppe nach oben, der auch runter zu anstrengend war. Der ganztägige Baustellenlärm von montags bis samstags war schon sehr belastend. So konnte die sehr schöne Balkonterrasse nur sonntags oder zum Sonnenuntergang genutzt werden. Glücklicherweise bietet Funchal und die gesamte Insel Madeira ausreichende Möglichkeiten zum erholen und erleben, so dass wir die gesamte Zeit von 50 Tagen genießen konnten.
