Isabel´s Villa - Funchal Seaside Villas

This stand-allone apartment is absolutely a very nice place. Very calm, fantastic view to Funchal, all needed equipment, direct acces to the water (even with some obstacles: Funchal is a rock!). The owner Carlos was allways a big help, giving us tips and support. For sure, one of the best locations we had. Thanks a lot.

We had the best time in Funchal! This little house is perfectly located, walking distance for the town of Funchal. Breathtaking views on the ocean, an amazing and sunny terrace and the infinity pool! So relaxing! The house was extremely clean and well equipped. We spent 6 nights and we want to go back! We highly recommend! Five stars!

Once again we stayed at Funchal Seaside Villas and enjoyed every minute. Once there we were welcomed by Mara the housekeeper and good soul of the property. The place is just as we expected - nicely furnished with everything you need for a relaxed stay. The view from the terrace is breathtaking with great sunsets while you enjoy your evening meal. We will come again!

All perfect, very friendly hosts!

We had to leave this property 4 days into our 7 day stay, this indicates the seriousness of the problems we had with this property and its owners. We booked only 4 weeks prior to the stay and we were really looking forward to our only holiday of 2019, we had earned it. Upon arrival they felt obliged to apologise for any noise we would hear as some “delayed” building work was going on around the property. At that point in time we could neither see nor hear any building work going on, other than a large orange crane that had been permanently lashed to the terrace of the property to seemingly facilitate some sort of building work. Upon closer inspection the crane left nearly a half of our terrace unusable and extremely dangerous to be around, especially at night with many trip hazards. We eventually used the sunbeds as safety barriers to stop us walking in that area inadvertently. The crane also impacted on the wonderful views. Look to the right and you have Funchal harbour, look to the left and you have a large orange crane! Sadly, the owner and her representatives had deceived us from the moment we booked the property. Disclosure of the ongoing building work and the large orange crane should have been advised before our arrival so that WE could decide whether it was suitable. Ultimately. the owner made the choice for us by not telling us. We had not been advised of any ongoing building work prior to our arrival and had not been advised that there would be a large orange crane fixed on the terrace. The property itself is functional. Bathroom small. Sofa is not the one on the website and is very uncomfortable. We complained several times about the building noise but the owners would not stop it. Even a categoric guarantee that it would stop on the third day didn’t happen. They were back on the fourth day and even noisier. We’d had enough. Nothing we could say to the owners would make any difference to the building work stopping, and that large orange crane was a permanent fixture and going nowhere. So, we booked a hotel in Funchal for our final 3 days and moved out of the property the next morning. We gave the owners father the keys back and advised them that we would be raising a formal complaint with HomeAway upon our return home. The owners father eventually conceded it was unacceptable and said he would refund ALL our money. At the time of this review the owners have not done this. Formal complaint has been opened with HomeAway and is ongoing.

We spent a week in Patricia’s property at the end June and the first few days of July. The position of the villa allowed us to enjoy the breath taking views over Funchal and the port area . All the facilities within the property was as we needed and the use of the infinity pool allowed us to cool off during the hot days. The patio area is large and spacious . We were greeted by Carlos, Patricia’s father, who showed us around the property and gave us a full run down on the facilities available. We spent most evenings at the property, as we generally went into Funchal for lunch in the old town , and enjoyed the facilities and the view. Would recommend this property to any couple that seek a relaxing and restful time in Madeira.

It is a very sweet little guesthouse that has an incredible view of the ocean and harbor in Funchal. The area is quiet and you can walk to restaurants and shopping. It feels private from the rest of the property thanks to banana trees and a very sweet garden. We loved our week stay and are planning on coming back. They are also very helpful with recommending restaurants etc and their maid brought us the most wonderful fresh baked muffins one day. The bottle of wine, fresh fruit and yogurt was a very nice touch after a long trip. Highly recommended!

My husband and I had a great week staying here. The amazing views are exactly as per the photos. The little house is first rate - clean and well-appointed. Comfy bed. Very quiet at night. Decent shower, which is always a plus. Nice welcome pack of wine, cake, fruit and biscuits. The gorgeous terrace immediately in front of the house is exclusive to you, though the pool and surrounding areas are near by and communal, and shared by two other rental properties - so you're quite close to your fellow holiday makers. Location is good, near the old town and an easy walk to the bus station and much of Funchal. Mara and Patricia are incredibly helpful recommending restaurants, taxi drivers etc. We really enjoyed staying here and would recommend it.

Patricia’s place is just perfect for a holiday in Funchal. She is extremely nice as is her staff. Location right next to the old town is really good and the view to the ocean and harbour beautiful. Ten points!

The apartment was lovely and meeting Mara who looked after it was delightful, she was a pleasure to deal with. The bed was comfy (very important to me) was disappointed that the tv didn't have our basic british channels as we are not night life people! the apartment is up a hill but that is to expected in Madeira! still it was fine and an easy walk into the old town. the balcony is a good size and you can watch the cruise ships coming and going, overall i would recommend this apartment.
