Spacious apartment, Splendid sea and mountain view

This was a fabulous villa with an incredibly nice and welcoming hostess. Filomena was a great hostess. She arranged for our transportation to the villa from the airport and met us there the first night to greet us and gave us lots of helpful tips to make our stay better. It has a beautiful view and is in a quiet location. Highly recommended!

Amazing city view. Nice amenities. Attentive and helpful property owner.

Beautiful and comfortable.

Our stay was great. The views from the apartment are awesome. Watching the sunset from the balcony is amazing. Filomena was very helpful and a great host. Everything was as expected and a lot more.

Lovely, comfortable and well equipped apartment with a stunning view over Funchal. Filomena was very friendly and incredibly helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

We very much enjoyed one week at Ornela's house. Ornela is wonderful host. Her house is very comfortable. It offers all we needed. The bright living and bed rooms are connected by a balcony that gives this wonderful unobstructed view over Funchal and the harbor.The location on the hillside outside Funchal turned out to be an excellent starting point for our activities. Funchal, Sao Lorenco, Pico Areeiro or the towns in the north are easy to reach by car. Even a trip to the west is convenient with ER101 close to the house.

This is a fantastic property. The views are incredible and it is very private. We stayed for 2 weeks and were very comfortable. Filomena was fantastic - very welcoming and responsive. Highly recommend.

The views and the breeze from the apartment were stellar. The apartment itself is a little funky but we had everything we needed. We LOVED the full-on views from the living room and bedrooms and the gardens all around . We very much appreciated the washer and dryer! Sadly, we couldn't sleep with the patio doors open for the fresh air because way down below is a highway with motorcycles racing in the middle of the night and my husband is sensitive to noise when sleeping. Filomena sometimes took a bit to respond but she was helpful and I really appreciated that she made a haircut appointment for me with a good stylist during our stay which was badly needed. The apartment is up multiple steep hills so it is not a walkable area but we found a few good restaurants close by that we drove to and of course ate in Funchal and other places around the island. The driving on Madiera is a challenge! The GPS kept lagging at crucial moments, but we learned to allow at least double the time on the GPS and did a lot of u-turns or round-about turns -all part of the experience of being on such a gorgeous mountain. We enjoyed out stay here very much.

the view is stunning, The drive up the hairpins was a thrill. A short drive or Bolt into Funchal. Central to the all the sites. Not far from the airport. Filomena is very pleasant and accommodating host. We very much enjoyed our stay, the Toboggan, Pico arreeira at sunrise. A meal at Williams and the 90degree fro sunset. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Spacious apartment with 2 good size bedrooms and spacious kitchen/ diner. Well equipped kitchen and lovely terraced garden. The apartment is the middle of 3 apartments of a large house, it's located in quiet residential area about 5 km from Funchal in the hills. Great views of Funchal and harbour from the balcony which is west facing so you don't get the sun til later in the day. There is also a pleasant BBQ area to relax in. There is a bit of road noise from the motor way. I would recommend a car - there's easy on street parking there are also buses into Funchal a short walk away. Filomena was very helpful and communicative, there's lots of books leaflets etc on walks and visits. We really enjoyed our stay - thank you Filomena !

Wow! This place was the highlight of our two-month stay in Portugal. The pictures do not do it justice! Amazing views of the city of Funchal from the hills of São Gonçalo, yet only a short drive into downtown (accessible by bus, but car is recommended). The property grounds have a wonderful garden. The apartment is fully stocked with everything you might need. Fantastic water pressure in the shower. Filomena was an incredible host who went above and beyond to make sure that we were welcome and comfortable. We arrived with an injured knee and she made sure that we were well taken care of and knew how to access the hospital system. 10/10 for us and would stay here again in a heartbeat. We are already missing the amazing sunsets visible from every room!

The accommodation was definitely fantastic. We will return.
