Great stay

Great stay! The appartment was very clean and very well positioned in the city. Corina was of great help when needed, and we had everything we needed from the kitchenware to beach towels. It is hot as there is no AC, but the nights are fresher and there is a fan available which made it comfortable nonetheless. I highly recommend the place!!

This apartment is right in the bustling center of Funchal, yet in a very quiet street. Bars, restaurants, shops and the waterfront is right around the corner. The apartment is clean, spacious and fully equipped. The owner is super nice and helpful. Would definitely book it again.

Calm and neat appartment close to the old center

The apartment was perfect, very clean and well furnished. The neighbourhood is residential, so you can have calm nights. It is close to the old center and all facilities, the sea side is also accessible by a short walk. Another good point is that the terminal bus station is 10 minutes walk, so it makes it easy to go around Madeira by bus. Finally, Paulo and Corina were kind and very reactive, and agreed to welcome me at a late hour for my checkin. I definitely recommand this place.

Fantastic stay

My stay exceeded all expectations. The location was fantastic, offering easy access to all the attractions the island has to offer. The amenities were top-notch, including a convenient parking garage, a luxurious bathroom, and a laundry facility. One of the highlights of my stay was the incredibly helpful and attentive housekeeper, Corina. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect during my stay. Her attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made me feel at home. Overall, my experience was exceptional, thanks to the excellent location, top-notch amenities, and the wonderful service provided by Corina. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay on the island.

Convenient and like a home visit

The location of the apartment was very convenient for walking to downtown Funchal locations and also to the roads for traveling to other parts of Madeira. We had everything we needed provided. The on-site contact was wonderful in adapting to our ever changing arrival date and time. After she met us to provide keys and garage items we actually never even needed to seek her out since we had everything we needed.

Really good choice

The apartment is in a really good place, in the "zona velha" of Funchal just 5 minutes walking from the main street. It's big and clean. There is a balcony for drying clothes. The garage is a really good plus because it's not easy to find where to park your car. Paulo has been really kind to us and Corina (the housekeeper) is amazing. She lives upstairs and helped us with whatever we needed. We really suggest booking this apartment!

Great accommodation

Housekeeper Corina was really helpful with everything, the apartment was nice and clean and well-equipped. Close to the Funchal center. Great benefit was having available garage parking place. Negative would be noise from the outside street as it's on steep uphill, so the cars and motorbikes are quite loud until the late night and the one layer glass windows are not really soundproof (but that's probably same for all houses in the area). Second would be mosquitoes, which always somehow got in from outside. But overall, we would recommend this apartment for stay in Funchal.

Funchal Flyaway

We found this to be a good place as a base to visit Funchal Madeira. We planned to use the well appointed kitchen (big fridge, Nespresso pod machine, microwave, electric kettle, gas cooker, full range of utensils provided)but there are some wonderful cheap Portuguese run eateries nearby so we didn’t bother. It is a one bedroom unit. Beds were very comfortable. The area is very quiet at night. The bathroom was great, with great water pressure and adequate hot water. There were plenty of towels and extra bedding available if needed. The washing machine was essential for us and was very good. The unit is well located close to everything. Corina was upstairs for any help required. It was a great place to explore the island from.

Die Wohnung liegt sehr zentral in Funchal, in ca 10 Gehminuten ist man mitten im Zentrum. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet mit allem, was man braucht und sogar mit einigen Extras, wie einer Waschmaschine! Der Garagenstellplatz konnte ebenfalls ohne zusätzliche Gebühren genutzt werden, was wir sehr gut fanden! Der Check in verlief absolut entspannt und reibungslos, wir haben im Vorfeld über WhatsApp Kontakt zur Vermieterin, die im selben Haus wohnt aufgenommen und konnten so alles ganz entspannt klären und wurden am Anreisetag sehr freundlich von ihr empfangen! Auch während des Urlaubs stand sie uns jederzeit bei Fragen oder Ähnlichem zur Verfügung. Was uns besonders gefallen hat war die Sauberkeit der Wohnung, man hat nirgends auch nur einen Krümel oder Staubkorn gesehen! Das einzige, was wir wirklich zu bemängeln haben sind die Matratzen - die waren unserem Empfinden nach wirklich steinhart, wodurch wir leider nicht so gut geschlafen haben. Mit zusätzlichen Decken aus dem Schrank konnten wir es ein bisschen polstern, aber wir würden empfehlen, einmal über neue Matratzen nachzudenken. Ansonsten hatten wir einen angenehmen Aufenthalt und können die Wohnung weiterempfehlen - preislich auch einfach unschlagbar, vorallem in der Hauptreisezeit!

My name is Paulo, working and living in London.

Why they chose this property

I have always had strong roots with Madeira as my family, on my mother's side originate there. After visiting twice and fallen in love with such a beautiful island, I decided to purchase a nice, well located apartment I could visit sometimes to get away from the British weather.

What makes this property unique

The proximity of all the amenites and the centre of Funchal. The views from both balconies and the coziness of the apartment.
