Penthouse Apartment, Best Hotels Area in Funchal, 2 Rooms, Sea View

The apartment was in good position but it's in need of refurbishment The bathrooms beds furniture etc. The first week it was chilli no heating it just needs updating.

In the middle of everything, lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Near the sea front easy to use the local bus service into the capital. No need for a car to get around locally easy to get tours for the other side of the island.Well equipped apartment in traditional style on the tenth floor with comfortable beds and lounge seating.

The flat with beautiful view and a useful location. You can get to the beach in 20 min on foot. Around there is a big food store, except other small and not cheapest shops. In the flat there is a nice kitchen with all the necessary stuff. Bus stop just at the building.

Perfect location for all the lido area has to offer. Easy walk into Funchal or bus stop directly outside. Excellent view of Funchal fireworks from the balcony which is huge with good table and chairs. Check in and communication with Martim was very good. The only negative we can give is the apartment needs updating.

This is a corner penthouse unit with an extremely large balcony that looks out over the ocean and the city of Funchal. Very comfortable, great location, with many restaurants nearby. Very large Pingo Doce grocery store 10 minute walk. Walk to downtown in 30minutes and oldtown in 45 minutes. Martim the owner was very nice and welcoming while keeping in touch to make sure everything went smoothly. He met me at the property so I could park my rental car in the parking lot in front of the building. Parking is on site and very convenient. As I was driving a rental car, I did have trouble finding the building but for anyone coming from the airport, it is two or three properties from the Hole in One Restaurant on the same side of the street. There are two green gates for the parking lot and the building stands directly behind the bus stop. To enter the gate you actually have to drive up on the sidewalk. There is an elevator to the penthouse that was fast and I never seemed to have an issue in waiting. The only issue I had was water pressure in the shower. Martim did tell me that I could reset the water pressure from the utillities where the washing machine is but I never bothered, so I am not sure if that would help. There are two bedrooms with two single beds in each. As I was on my own, I did not ask if the beds could be slid together. Overall, this is a fantastic experience, and a wonderful convenient, comfortable place to make your home while visiting the city.

We stayed in the apartment for a week. Communication with Martim was excellent and he assisted us by coming to try to fix a broken door-handle which left us unable to use the door and needing to exit the bedroom via the balcony. The apartment is spacious and clean, though the furniture is dated and a bit worn; and we found the beds too soft for our tastes. The balcony is very large and has wonderful views over Funchal and has the sun all day. We did enjoy our stay as the location was fantastic and having onsite parking made it easy to use as a base for seeing the island.

A really large apartment very well kept and all you would possibly need! I was disappointed with no English TV only sky news despite having asked & assured there was! I need it as on my own! Also no swimming pool which was my fault not checking! Overall it was a very lovely apartment with a huge balcony & sun loungers!

Good communication with owner, perfect location easy walk into center and local shops, on bus route for airport and town.

A good size apartment with large balcony, views over Funchal to die for. The location is excellent to access restaurants and entertainment and buses around Funchal. Martin is very helpful and the cleaner comes weekly. Furniture is a bit dated but overall a very good apartment highly recommended.

Loved the apartment and balcony communication with Martim was very good and very helpful will hope to return next year if not booked

From the time we got in touch with Martim until we left the property after 11 days everything went perfectly. Martim met us at the property on arrival to explain everything to us. He is a gentleman. The property was amazing and spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds. The views from the all round balcony where you can get the sun all day was stunning. We would very much like to return to his apartment on our next visit to Madeira. Thank you again Martim for being such a lovely host. Iain and Etta
