Superbly located 2-bedroom apartment in Funchal, Madeira

This apartment was perfect for our stay. It was just as advertised, spacious, clean and in a great location, a short walk from the beach front and lidos, close to a bus stop and a 30min walk into old town which we loved as it was a great way to get our steps in whilst getting to know the area. The apartment was dated but everything was in good condition and well looked after with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The double bed was a little firm for our liking but it in no way detracted from our stay. We loved eating breakfast on the balconies which all had gorgeous views of the sea and surrounding mountains. We also loved the pool which was clean and a great size plus there was barely ever anyone there. The host and his brother were very responsive and generous hosts and we would definitely stay again. Thanks Bruno & Francisco!

We couldn’t have wished for a better place, the apartment was well equipped with everything you’d need and the pool was perfect. Most of the time we were the only ones there. I did have to contact the owner to request another fan and there was a brand new one brought to us the following day.also allowed us to check out late which was an absolute vid send .-

Had an amazing holiday in Madeira. Apartment had all that we needed and brilliant location - close to lots of shops, bars, restaurants and not far to marina/Old Town. Recommend Jeep tour, whalewatching trip and Nuns Vallet.

Absolutely amazing stay great location owners absolutely went above and beyond for us definitely ? will stay again and recommended to any one for a kind term stay

Other reviews have stated most of what I would say about the apartment (we loved it) so I will not be repetitive, but will stress the following: - having parking onsite is a huge plus in Funchal. Parking can get tricky but we were able to have parking every night of our stay. - there are many excellent restaurants within walking distance that are open late. We hadn't necessarily planned to eat near the apartment as we wanted to explore the island thoroughly. We did explore, but some days we returned around 9pm, tired after a full day of hiking and didn't feel much like venturing out. After a shower and refresh we would change our mind and are so glad we did. Had some excellent 10PM meals during our stay :) - I can't say enough about Bruno, our host. We've stayed in a number of VRBOs and Bruno is by far the friendliest, most communicative host we've had. We had some challenging situations prior to our trip causing us to have to perhaps over-communicate with Bruno, and Bruno was responsive, understanding, and accommodating. Every single aspect of our stay went smoothly and exactly as we'd hoped. Thank you Bruno, you're the perfect host.

Great apartment exactly as described in the listing. Three balconies to choose from, depending on the time of day, all with very good views. Beds were comfortable and the location is nice and quiet. The swimming pool was great and well maintained and there are plenty of sunbeds. Bruno , the owner, was extremely helpful and communication was excellent. We were met exactly as planned and shown around the apartment. There is private car parking and we always got a space. The area is near the Lido and was perfect as a base. There are plenty of very good restaurants nearby as well as small Spar supermarkets and the bigger Pingo Doce supermarket within a few minutes walk. To get into the centre of Funchal there are bus stops just outside or there is a Taxi Rank a few minutes walk south-west.[or just hail a yellow cab ]. Suggestions :- Cable Car to Monte Gardens is great - but buy tickets for the cable car on-line as there can be a queue at the terminus. The Sledge Ride down is great fun [did have to queue for 30minutes ]. Equally exhilarating is the Taxi ride from Livramento at the end of the sledge ride back to the apartment { 25 Euros - check price beforehand }, or get the bus. Plenty of tour companies offering tours of the Island at very reasonable prices. Whale/ Dolphin watching boat tour is a must. Palheiro gardens are lovely and not busy, definitely worth a couple of hours. Beach at Calheta was excellent with lovely sand [ 2 sunbeds and umbrella were 5.5 euros]

From the start, we had great communication with Bruno on our stay. We were 3 hours late arriving but Bruno's brother (the property manager) met us warmly at 10pm. The apartment is very spacious and quite comfortable. The kitchen had every amenity imaginable - even an immersion blender! We travel with our French Press coffee maker, though there were several in the cupboards. The apartment is on the 7th floor with stunning views to watch glorious sunrises and sit with a glass of great Portuguese wine for sunset. The location is excellent with several small to large supermarkets an easy walk away and dozens of restaurants and bars. It's also a 3 minute walk to the bus stop and several rental car companies across the street. We used the apartment as a base but easily traveled around the whole of Madeira by bus, walking and cars. We loved our stay, Bruno's apartment felt more like a home than just a flat for in-and-out tourists. We can't wait to go back!

The apartment is ideally located, not far from the lido complex and supermarkets, shops, buses and restaurants. The apartment is functional and we appreciated the 2 bathrooms and the balcony in front of the ocean. The swimming pool was very quiet, only a few people. We had a very good stay, Bruno and his brother have been very helpful. We would certainly come back, without hesitation.

I have to agree with all the previous reviews.. this apartment was perfect for us (family 4). The views from the balconies are amazing and the apartment was so clean and homely. The pool area was great and the kids spent hours just playing in the pool every day. We had a really relaxing week and really hope we get the chance to return someday as we didn’t want to leave!! Thank you Bruno for the excellent directions from the airport, and letting us stay in your apartment we had a wonderful time.

Great location, well equipped and very clean apartment. Would highly recommend staying here. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and3 balconies! Amazing views over Funchal bay.
