    The apartment has a fantastic location in central Funchal with wonderful views over Santa Catarina park and the port. We loved watching the cruise ships sailing in and out. The apartment is quite spacious, modern and reasonably well equipped, although a dishwasher would be an improvement. With some simple improvements and investment we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Sadly our experience was less than perfect as the exterior of the building is in quite a poor state of repair, with a partly crumbling facade. Hopefully there are plans to attend to this. The sofa covers are stained and appear dirty as is the fabric headboard in the main bedroom. The outdoor planters (on the wonderful balcony) are full of dead plants which sets a poor tone. Why not use artificial foliage or at least remove the current sorry display? Overall the apartment has the potential to be wonderful. The location and views are superb and we’d happily stay again if these matters are attended to.

    The location could not be better in the old town of Funchal, and the unit has fabulous views. Unfortunately only one keycard was available and you cannot enter the gated grounds or use the elevator to reach the 5th (American 6th) floor without a keycard. Staying together for 3 weeks was complicated at times, and given that the unit is advertised for 4 people it would truly be difficult. There were many plumbing issues including a shower drain that was not properly installed. It is sad that we cannot provide a glowing review for this beautiful apartment that needs attention.

    Cleean, well appointed flat with a wrap around balcony giving views across the harbour, the nearby park and up to the hills behind. Plenty of patio furniture and when it gets too hot, the flat has efficient air conditioning. In short, an excellent place to spend a holiday

    We loved the location of our Funchal rental. We walked everywhere within the city. The balcony was a perfect place to sit in the morning and evening.

    Once we got checked in, which was a bit chaotic, the stay was exactly what we hoped for. The unit was clean and looks like the photos. The location is superb. Parking is close by. We only received 1 key card which was a problem (with 4 adults going different directions) which never was resolved. This is my only complaint. Apparently, the renters before us did not return the 2nd card and an additional card was not available to us. The beds were comfortable and clean. Communication with the property manager was easy, with quick replies. I would rent from them again.
