About this property
Ocean facing, Ocean front apartment -stunning panoramic views,excellent location
This self catering ocean facing, waterfront apartment, set on the cliff top, in landscaped gardens, is in a excellent location for your holiday rental, relaxing, peaceful, romantic. From the balcony watch the sunrise over the Desertes Islands, and later in the day you can just relax and take in the stunning views, listen to sounds of the waves, watch the sunset in the evening, and the moon glistening on the water at night. Although, the apartment is only a few minutes walk to restaurants, shops, supermarket, banks, taxi's ranks, bus stop and promenade walk, with its cliff top position, it is well away from the road, in a wonderful location. The centre of Funchal, is a pleasant 10-15 min walk.

Parking is metered, but available, but can be busy during certain times. if you need more information, please ask. There is also a hire car office in the courtyard of the apartment , so if you do wish to hire a car for the odd day, it is very convenient for pick-up and return of the car. We have tried to put all the little extra touches to the apartment to make your stay more enjoyable. On your arrival when I greet you, I have to collect from you the Tourist tax for Funchal. Which is 2 euros per night per person, maximum of 7 nights. i.e. 14 euros per person for a 7 nights. Which has to be paid in cash to me on arrival, which I will pay to the local council.

Excellent host, great communication and, a seamless check-in and checkout service. The apartment has everything you need and, the most stunning sea views. Situated near bus stops and taxi ranks and is within walking distance to Funchal. We loved our stay in August 2026 and will definitely return.

Perfect host and ideal location!We recently stayed here during our trip to Madeira and had a fantastic experience. The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped. It’s located in a great spot—shops, cafes, and everything you need are within easy walking distance. On top of that, the host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended

Thank you very much Marcin, it was lovely to meet you all, and I am very pleased you enjoyed your stay and Madeira, I hope to be able to greet you again at some other time in the near future.

Rose Marie.
We had a wonderful stay at Rose Marie’s apartment. She was incredibly welcoming and left a pack of essentials e.g. milk, water, fruit and bread etc.The location is absolutely perfect and just a short walk from many restaurants and shops. The apartment was very clean and had everything you could ever want, or need, for a holiday stay. There is a beautiful pool which was very quiet whilst we were there………very peaceful and relaxing.The only drawback, if any, is the fact there are quite a few steps to negotiate down to the front of the building. However, this is only a problem if you have any mobility problems.Highly recommended.

We stayed for a week with Rose Marie in her lovely apartment overlooking the sea with fabulous views. Rose Marie was an excellent host. The location is just off the Main Street which was perfect for us and a short walkable distance into Funchal city centre and the harbour. Overall a great place to stay and an enjoyable holiday with lots to do.

Rosemarie was an excellent host. We are very grateful to her for being so accommodating to us when we were delayed and not able to get to the apartment until nearly 2am! The apartment is very well furnished with everything that you could possibly require including a shopping trolley to use for shopping and plentiful supply of towels.

Hi, Jo, Thank you so much, was my pleasure in greeting you and meeting you all.
Thank you for your stay, I hope to see you again sometime.
Kind Regards
Rose Marie.
Lovely apartment in a great area. The uninterrupted sea views are amazing. We loved sitting out on the balcony - it was so relaxing. The host is very attentive and thoughtful. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise. The host also recommended a taxi driver who picked us up from the airport and took us on a fantastic day tour to the west of the island
The apartment was spotlessly clean and Rosemarie was an outstanding, thoughtful host. The view of the sea from the balcony is wonderful and all the amenities are exactly as described. We will without doubt return. Thank you.

Wonderful relaxing place to stay with views from the balcony that you could sit and watch all day ,the only disappointment was the pool which desperately needs repairing which we were informed about just before we were due to go on holiday ,Rose Marie did informed us that they have been let down with the repairs but maybe they should mention it when people book so they are aware of the situation ,Other than that a wonderful relaxing break and Rose Marie was a lovely host who sorted out taxis and was only a phone call away if we needed her

Thank you very much for your nice comments. I am sorry about the pool, I did inform you as soon as I knew it would not be done before you arrived. It was suppose to have been done before. Which is completely out of my control.
I have notified all my future guests.
A lot of my guests booked a long time ago, and when things were ok.
It was lovely meet you all, and hope to see you again in near future, Kind Regards
Rose Marie.
Our experience at this charming apartment was excellent. Very clean, located right on the ocean, in a nice area with restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores. The apartment, which felt more like a home is extremely well furnished with a well stocked kitchen. Even though we arrived late at night, the owner, Rose Marie was there to give us a warm welcome and get us settled. She was very responsive and attentive and her kindness made our stay wonderful.
