House in the center of Funchal - In the heart of the Old Town

Lovely property, immaculately cared for, right in the heart of old town with shops, bars, and restaurants mere steps from your door. Owner was helpful and left lots of good information. Our stay was almost perfect: Only things missing were a balcony or terrace and a view (of any sort). The mattress was a little flat / tired / uncomfortable. Still, location and appointments were just wonderful.

Fabulous Restaurants all along the street and live music in the plaza. Walking distance to everything we needed!

Perfect condition in the old part of Funchal. Nearby are some nice restaurants which are visited also from the Funchalisthemselves. The only Makel is, that due to the nearness of the the flat to the tourist restaurants, sometimes it is very noisy until midnight! Excellent flat in excellent condition - surely not my last stay here.

This beautifully refurbished house retains some of its original period features and is thoughtfully equipped for any length of stay in Madeira, with laundry facilities, spacious kitchen and television. It is located on a quaint cobbled street in the old part of the town yet is only a few minutes walk from the town centre, supermarket, and taxis and buses, so we could easily get to other locations on Madeira. There are many excellent restaurants on the streets near the house, and the well-equipped kitchen meant we could cook for ourselves too. We could see a glimpse of the sea from the bedroom window, and the waterfront was very close and our favourite places for an after-dinner stroll. The owners were so friendly and helpful. This property is definitely incredible value for money!

This property was spotless and very well appointed. It is ideally located if you enjoy the buzz of the Old Town - which we do. It is situated just behind the Porto Santa Maria Hotel with lots of restaurants within a few minutes, level walking. Do try the bar at the end of the street (just a slight uphill walk). It has wonderful juice and coffee & you sit overlooking the sea. Most restaurants offer Tourist menus - usually soup and a choice of main course - for between 10 and 12eu. Or splash out and go a la carte with any number of fish choices. This was our 3rd visit to the Carnivale and probably the best ever. Ordered a return taxi online & it couldn't have been simpler at under 40eu. Finally, Carmo's husband and daughter met us on arrival and were very friendly & helpful. Many thanks to them both - and for the local treats.

Carmo was there to greet us and give us a walk-through and background of her family history with the house. The remodeling kept some historical features, but all appliances in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry were state-of-art contemporary. The bed was comfortable, and the bedroom well appointed for relaxing as well as having a desk for business needs. While there were plenty of linens, towels, and toilet paper, we were surprised that we had to go buy such basics as hand soap, kitchen and laundry detergent, and basic cooking items like spices, salt and pepper, oil, etc. On the other hand, we were greeted with some delightful Madeiran treats set on the kitchen table to introduce us to some of the delights of this island.

We were made very welcome by Carmo and her family. The house is lovely with all the amenities that one would wish for. The house was extremely clean and well looked after. It was exactly as described. The communication with the owner was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble however many questions we asked. The situation is perfect for touring, being close to the cable car and bus stops. There are many restaurants to choose from in the neighbourhood with a very convenient little supermarket and bakery nearby. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone going to Funchal to stay in Carmo's house.

We had a one-week-vacation in the capital of Madeira. Our joice was the right one: a nice cosy home in the historical center with a variety of many restaurants in walking distance. We were impressed by the equipment of the appartment (door lock, security alarm, washingmaschine w/ drying function, kitchen, etc.). By stepping out of the house, we were in the middle of the center and street life. To shorten the shopping tour or to reach an restaurant before starving, it was perfectly located. Two parking places were very close (e.g. 1 min. walking distance or a cheaper one within 4 min. walking distance). The owner of the house is very friendly and is very anxious to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We definitively loved it and recommend this appartment. If we come back to Madeira once again we would book it a second time. Thanks and good luck for further bookings!
