Location is great, right on a good beach, excellent swimming pool and easy access to Funchal and Câmara dos Lobos. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. Miguel did a great job, with on target recommendations very useful for first timers in Madeira like us. We hope to be back.

Wonderful apartment!

Beautiful apartment, great location with close by restaurants, public transportation, grocery stores, etc. while still quite and peaceful. Miguel was super helpful, with great tips on eating locations, accessing transport, stores and anything you might need. My husband and I stayed 9 days and loved every day of it! Thank you Miguel!

Nice stay in Funchal

This is a lovely property very close to the beach and with a good balcony overlooking the water. The beds are very very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and clean. Our host Miguel was beyond amazing. He provided us so much information about the area and could not have been more helpful. We were Disappointed that the bedrooms did not have windows which was a bit of surprise Given the photos. The smaller bedroom with the twin beds with stuffy. And there was construction above us, which was A little annoying.

Lovely apartment but could do with air conditioning. Lounge fan not working properly either. Bedrooms are dark but very well equipped. Lovely balcony, apartment not suitable for anybody with mobility problems as road to shops up steep hill.

Great place!

The property was in a great location, walking distance to the tunnel, the fishing village and various restaurants on the beach with the walking path right in front (oceanfront) of the property and stairs close by to get to the main road. The bus stops at the building as well which is convenient. The unit was a good size, spacious, and had everything we needed for laundry, kitchen supplies, bedding etc. The living area was spacious and comfortable. The master bedroom and bathroom were very comfortable and spacious. The second bathroom was very small and not in the second bedroom but had a shower so it was nice that we each had our own bathroom. The balcony was spacious with plenty of seating to enjoy the ocean/beach view and the beautiful sunsets. I would definitely go back!

Paradise!

The apartment was very comfortable, had a great location and a fabulous view. Sitting on the balcony and listening to the surf was heaven. It is situated near many wonderful restaurants, many of which are right on the beach. I and my daughter and son in law stayed for 2 1/2 weeks, and would have been very happy to stay longer. A lot of walking is involved, but all with lovely surroundings, and because of the walks, I could enjoy delicious ponchos and amazing food, especially the scabbard fish with banana and passion fruit, the limpets, and the Bolo do caco. The manager of the apartment was incredibly helpful, and also gave us a wonderful full day tour in his touring jeep. Miguel (Website: Miguel is here) helped to make this a very wonderful and memorable stay. I am my family hope to go back to this very same apartment 🤗

The Praia Formosa beachfront condo was perfect for my husband, myself and our adult daughter. We enjoyed many breakfasts and some dinners on the private and roomy lanai and loved listening to the sea every night as we drifted off to sleep. We loved the convenience of the direct access to the promenade which we walked from end to end several times and enjoyed a couple of dinners at the promenade restaurants. The beds and furniture were comfortable for our tall family; the kitchen and bathrooms perfectly functional. During our 12 days on the island, we circumvented the entire island, visited the gardens and Fanal Forest, hiked incredible levadas, explored Funchal, took in the Festival of Lights and the spectacular, Guiness Book of Records largest New Years Eve fireworks. We spent a thrilling half day with Miguel in his Jeep touring the "real" Madeira where people live along the levadas and tend their many crops which cling to the steep hillsides. Our stop at a small local cafe where the owner made the best Poncha and our bumpy rides along dirt roads (???) through the forest while we stood in the open back of the Jeep was pure fun. Miguel is very knowledgeable and fun to talk to and my husband found it much less stressful to drive our rental car around the island after scooting down and up the narrowest of lanes with our relaxed and confident Miguel at the wheel.Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to hike even more of the levadas.Bev, David Kate, Canada

Das Appartement ist grosszügig mit 2 Schlafzimmern, einem Badezimmer mit Badewanne, einem Badezimmer mit Dusche, einer gut eingerichteten Küche, einem schönen Wohnraum und einem Balkon mit direkter Sicht auf Pool und Meer ausgestattet. Das Gebäude liegt direkt an der Uferpromenade, an der man wunderbar spazieren, flanieren und joggen gehen kann. Der Strand ist ebenfalls gegenüber, mit Steinen, an einigen Abschnitten mit schwarzem Sand, nicht so ideal mit kleinen Kindern. Das Apartment liegt etwas ausserhalb von Funchal, mit Auto aber auch mit ÖV erreichbar.

Dejlig balkon med skøn havudsigt

På en varm og solrig uge på Madeira opholdt vi os meget på den skønne, skyggefulde balkon, hvor vi sad ude og spillede spil til midnat. Lejligheden har ingen vinduer og trænger til en make-over. Ingen larm fra biler, kun lyden af bølger. Skønt friskt havvand - det er stenstrand, så havsko anbefales. Parkering mulig, dog svært i weekenden. Nærmeste by camara de lobos er mega hyggelig.

Wonderful apartment

We spent 26 nights in this fantastic apartment during October and November and would have been more than happy to have stayed another 26. The location on Praia Formosa is excellent for access to local bars and restaurants, shopping facilities in Sao Martinho as well as Funchal centre. Madeira’s motorway network is also within easy access for those who want to explore the island’s spellbinding walks and scenery. The apartment itself contains every creature comfort you could possibly need and has breathtaking sea views. The property manager, Miguel, is an absolute star. A wealth of information and recommendations on every aspect of the island as well as speedy response to any questions or issues. Totally recommended.

Unreasonable owner

I was very disappointed with the reaction of the owner of this property to our having to return to Canada due to the Covid-19 virus. Our Country requested that we make our way home while we could, as well, the government of Madiera had requested that tourist leave. The owner of this property did not feel that a refund was reasonable. He felt that giving us a voucher for 12 months, if the place was available, when we wanted it was acceptable. That was not. We are in a situation that would not allow us to even know if we will be able to travel within a 12 month period. We had already booked and paid for another vacation next year. The owner, had no care or compassion for his rentors.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Apr, 2020
I am surprised by this comment, because you accepted a voucher (until 2022), duration of 2 years, with the remaining nights that you did not sleep. I also inform you that all requests for cancellation and refund of the reservation amount, past, present or pending related to Covid19 are being returned in full. Your situation is completely different, because you checked in at our apartment, even though you knew about the virus. In addition, we missed a reservation for several weeks (couple friend from Canada, who wanted to escape the virus), because we honored your reservation. We think we are being more than fair to our guest and his family, as he received no compensation from his airlines, except that he had to buy new tickets on the return flight. Our apartment was in excellent welcoming condition on his arrival, prepared lovingly by Miguel and his team, and I am very disappointed that Peter never availed of the hospitality of the beautiful people of Madeira. I might add to date as I write this response that Madeira Island is without a single death due to the coronavirus. Best regards. Tim Green.

Ideal for us

My friend and l really enjoyed our time here, we spent three weeks in a lovely environment. Well equipped flat, spacious, fab views of the sea and sunset...perfect for us. Loved the walk to Camara de Logos, went often, but the steps up to the main road and buses were a challenge in the heat. Not for the faint hearted, pity the tunnel is still not opened. But no real complaints, we plan to come back next year or maybe sooner!

Our return visit says it all

This was our 20th visit to Madeira and our second stay in this apartment, which is a strong recommendation in itself. We particularly like: Being right on the sea front Beautiful view of the sunset Sound of the waves Spaciousness of the apartment Free WiFi Access to UK TV Proactive helpfulness of the property manager, Miguel Easy access to the much improved road network to get around the island We keep coming back to Madeira because of: Fantastic levada walks with views of the mountains and sea Spectacular scenery Lushness of the forests and vegetation Dragonflies, butterflies and flowers in bloom even in December Weather - not too hot, not too cold, like a British summer virtually all year round Funchal's Christmas illuminations

Misleading description

The apartment is located right next to the beach with beautiful sunsets. Although there are supermarkets nearby, access to these is not easy as you must first climb a large number of very steep steps up a cliff face. This is not possible if you have any mobility problems. It is therefore necessary to either take taxis or rent a car whilst staying here. The property manager Miguel was fantastic and supplied us with numerous recommendations and suggestions for restaurants etc. We also took his jeep tour (Miguel is here) which was personalised to our requirements and we had a great half day tour discovering the island. His knowledge and enthusiasm really made the time special and I would highly recommend it.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Mar, 2020
Thank you very much for your kind words and I am glad you all enjoyed your holidays and my jeep tour, especially because you were celebrating your friends' 80th birthday. Regarding the title of your comment, I can say that unfortunately, during your stay, the tunnel (left side of the complex) for access to the natural pools and the nearest super market called "My Super" and other restaurants had been closed, 2 days before your arrival at the apartment, because there were big waves, caused by the tornado that passed through the Azores. If this tunnel were open, access to the upper level would have been much more enjoyable and romantic, with amazing views. However, next to the complex (right side of the complex), there are several restaurants along the beach, no stairs required. In the ad mentions that you need to take steps to the upper road, it was written on“Going Around: - …. After these restaurant and bar you will find some steps on your right. These stairs lead you to the street above..." However, I have already updated the description of the apartment, giving more emphasis to the fact that this apartment is at sea level, so, being the island of Madeira very mountainous, we will always have to climb. In the ad mentions as well that car rental is recommended for more independence. This complex is situated at the last stop of the Aerobus, just € 5.00. To the center of Funchal there is a bus stop at the same level of the complex, number 43 (Praia Formosa / Romeiras) About the jeep tour, I am glad you all enjoyed the day with me, it was my pleasure. I hope see you all soon, Best regards, Miguel
