We were very satisfied with everything.We didn’t have access to a car, although there were garage spaces available. We chose to get into Funchal city either on foot or by Taxi/Bolt.There’s a good grocery store nearby — but it’s up a steep hill, so if you have limited mobility, you might need a car or someone to assist you.There are both swimming spots and good restaurants in the area, and we can truly recommend trying Aconchego Restaurante Bar — it may not look like much, but the food is excellent.Simply a great place to stay. ##### Anne-Sofie Ö.

The apartment is roomy and a perfect place for me, my brother and sister, each with our own bedroom (I got the ensuite!). The kitchen is well equipped and balconies on either side provided shade and sun (weather permitting) as required. Excellent transport links into Funchal via the bus stop right outside, and the shopping area in the centre has a supermarket ideal for most items when we don't want to make the 10 minute hike up to the Forum where there is a large supermarket. Varied restaurants within a 2 minute walk are ideal to suit any palate. All in all a perfect location for a Xmas / New Year break. Wish we could stay longer! ##### Barbara B.

Had to let owner know to raise the hotel waster Temp. because it was just luke warm. Big issue was the stench of urin in master bedroom and one other bedroom. The prior guests must have pee in bed.

Oct 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely apartment The apartment was as described, nice and spacious with a good view of the sea. Location is great in terms of convenience, very close to shops and the local beach. Communication with the owner was good, our kettle turned out to be broken and we messaged them and they brought a new one same day. We had a problem checking in only because the contact number was not working for us, in the end we found it worked if you added 003 at the start of the number, this may have been in the information sent to us but we couldn't find it at the time. Once the call went through they came over very quickly to let us in. Unfortunately one thing that disturbed our stay was that the upstairs neighbours are loud, they get up early (5am) and have the TV on late, chairs scrape on their floors, this would be fine except for you can hear everything coming through the ceiling. The road noise is also loud if you are in the bedrooms that are next to the road. For this reason if you are noise sensitive or a light sleeper I would recommend bringing earplugs. This is not the hosts fault, we just found it a bit noisy for us personally. Other than that, a lovely stay in a nice apartment with helpful hosts. ##### Nell T.

Jan 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well worth a stay The apartment was clean and very spacious. plenty of room for myself, my wife and our two adult children and their partners. Easy access to Funchal by bus The No 2 stops right outside and is less than 10 minutes to the center of Funchal. The yellow hop on hop off bus also stops right outside the apartment. The apartment is on the 4tf floor with a lovely sea view and mountain view and has two lifts that work as they should. There is also a parking space in the basement and plenty of parking outside. Its only 5 minutes walk to the forum shopping centre, and also a short walking distance to nice restaurants. The reason I gave communication 4 out of 5 stars, is because I sent a text message saying we needed teaspoons and never got a reply, the next morning I purchased some spoons and when I returned to the apartment there was a bag with spoons tied to the door. If I got a reply I wouldn't have purchased more. other than that, I think the apartment was fantastic and I can highly recommend staying there. On a final note, It was excellent value for money. ##### Derek H. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Gerard B., Dublin, Ireland Jul 21, 2011 #### Excellent location, near all facilities Met by owner's brother who was very helpful. Property exactly as described, in excellent condition with lovely view from balcony. Property was well-maintained overall. Clean and comfortable - beds very comfortable (an essential for a holiday property). Well equipped throughout but would have liked a coffee maker or kettle and teapot provided as most tourists, I imagine, would put these to good use. We ended up buying a kettle ourselves! The local amenities were all very close including access to the nearby supermarket, Madeira Forum Shopping Centre, bus stop, excellent choice of restaurants, local swimming (which was really good and a very reasonable price). This was our third visit to Madeira and this was the best area and accommodation we stayed in. Recommendations for improvement: The addition of instruction booklets for TV, DVD player, washing machine, cooker, safe, etc. would be of great benefit. Additionally, having a guestbook for recommendations for restaurants and other attractions would be really useful along with some local brochures and tourist information. The showerhead attachment in the main bathroom could not be fixed to the wall! Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for a family holiday. ##### Gerard B. ### 8/10 Good #### Cindy B. Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic location to the beach We have been to Funchal on previous trips to Madeira, so we booked this apartment to be close to the beach, above the pools at Doca Do Cavacas. This location is great, also close to some restaurants and a small grocery store for essentials, in the same location. The rooms in the apartment are large, and the bathrooms are new and clean. There are plenty of towels and sheets, but bring your own bath soap, etc. We appreciated having 3 sets of keys and underground parking. There isn't air-conditioning, but we kept windows and balcony doors open for good cross-ventilation. We noticed the hardwood floors were not clean when we arrived (our bare feet were always dirty), and there was a communication barrier when we needed a friend to translate for us for the agreed-to check-in meeting. And I feel obligated to mention a safety issue. Beware that the door handles to the balconies are one-sided, that is, when you are out on the balcony, do not close the balcony door because the handle is ONLY on the inside of the apartment. There is no way to get inside if there isn't someone to let you in. Friends of ours in another unit were locked outside on their balcony for over an hour when their other occupants were out for dinner. This situation would be a building code violation in the U.S. I offer this as a caution to future renters. Overall, we liked this apartment, and would stay again. ##### Cindy B.
