A thoroughly enjoyable stay in a beautiful place.
Pros: Spacious comfortable apartment, well appointed with lovely balcony looking out to sea. The children loved the communal swimming pool. Excellent location for shops and restaurants. Manuel and Susana were very friendly and helpful.

Great stay for a big family. Awesome views. Fully equiped home-from-home.
Pros: Fully equipped with loads of extras (towels, soaps, dishwasher & washing-machine soaps, etc), 2 bathrooms, comfy beds (mostly) and a (shared) swimming pool. Private parking. Fantastic view of the sea, and the apartment complex is well managed by the concierge. Although not in ‘downtown’ Funchal, there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. And Funchal is only a short Uber/Bolt ride away. 😉 The service from the owner was awesome. Always available for advice or help.
Cons: There are renovations being done that were a bit noisy, but unavoidable. We’re sure the result will be amazing.

Amazing views, lovely pool, extremely comfortable
Pros: We will definitely be back. Manuel was very helpful even before we arrived, he helped us work out how to get from the airport to the apartment and met us when we arrived. The apartment was clean, spacious and very well appointed. The beds were all comfortable and best of all the balcony had the most amazing view over the sea. I love Madeira anyway but this apartment and Manuel being so helpful just added another layer of happiness to the whole holiday.
Cons: Having to leave at the end of the week

Perfect apartment
Pros: Lovely, spacious apartment, big bedrooms, 2 good bathrooms. Extremely clean. The balcony is much bigger than appears on the photos. Very well equipped, the owner Manuel has thought of everything, even umbrellas, which we needed on our first night!! Fortunately not required again. There was a great welcome pack, with delicious local foods. We were met by Manuel's mum, who was very welcoming and helpful. The location is perfect, local buses and hop on hop off bus stop outside apartment, and there is a great shopping centre over the road, with big supermarket and lovely clothes shops, (lovely as there are so few clothes shops in UK!) Also lots of good restaurants close by, if you don't want to go into Funchal. There is also a lovely walk along the sea, leading to Câmara do Lobos, which is a pretty place with nice restaurants. I highly recommend this apartment.
Cons: Only slight problem, double bed (in room without balcony was a bit uncomfortable). There's were fine.

Pros: Manuel took really good care of us. Gave us some tips for things to do and visit, had some goodies available at the apartment for us so we could start really relaxed. The apartment was really well equiped and enough supplies for our stay. Thanks again Manuel! Wouldn't mind staying in your apartment again 😁

A great choice for first-timers in Funchal
Pros: The apartment was in a great location, and was very well equipped. Communication was excellent throughout the booking process and Manuel was there to meet us when we arrived. Snacks and drinks were thoughtfully provided to help us settle in, and basics like cooking oil, tea and coffee were already in the cupboards. As our family enjoys running and outdoors activities, the washing machine and washing detergent was particularly useful!
Cons: Generally the apartment was quiet but the two bedrooms without ensuite do face onto the road which may be worth considering for those sensitive to noise (my daughter used some earplugs and was fine).

Amazing views, great pool and excellently located (and clean) property.
Pros: Amazing location with exceptional sea views from the pool and verandah. The property is as described, spotlessly clean and ideally located for both local amenities and public transport into the city centre. The pool is fantastic and although shared amongst the complex was almost exclusively ours when we went down, just as other travellers have described. The host (Manuel) is amazing and always ready to provide advice and assistance or help with any issues.
Cons: We had a minor issue with the hot water heating but Manuel promptly offered to get an emergency engineer out and provided us with a gift to compensate on departure. So in reality there was nothing we didn't like!
