Quinta da Paz

great value for money, good location and very comfortable flat

Pros: The complex of flats is gated and looks beautiful, parking is easy and safe within the gates and the swimming pool is excellent. There is also a good quality (and clean) washing machine that we weren't expecting but it was very useful during our stay. The host was very attentive on messaging app. The bed was comfy and the apartment was very well equipped.

Cons: the bedroom window blind didn't shut properly and the pull-cord was broken, the bathroom window has no blind so in the evening when it is dark outside you feel exposed although there are only 2 flats that are visible from the window. There was also noise from a dog at during the night which woke us up but I'm not sure if the dog was in the property or a neighbour so that may be unfair to include in the review.

Quinta da Paz is an absolutely wonderful place to stay.

Pros: Quinta da Paz is an absolutely wonderful place to stay. Excellent conditions, clean, beautiful ocean views, a swimming pool, a large garden, plenty of parking, and close to shops and a bakery. The location is great and the service is excellent. We were delighted with our stay, so I highly recommend this place.

Pros: A very comfortable, well equipped apartment. A beautiful pool area and garden. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Cons: It would have been nice to have had a change of bedding mid stay.

Beautiful, well maintained, modern apartments with lovely views in an ideal location

Pros: We stayed in apartment 3 which had plenty of room for both of us with a great sea view and side pool view. Everything was there that we needed. Good bed and good shower. 2nd shower and toilet too, if needed. We cooked a few times in the kitchen and has most of the things you need. Air con in the bedroom and main living room was welcome. Property is well maintained including the grounds which are lovely and pool which is cleaned at least twice a week. It’s in a central location and an easy 10/15 minute drive from the airport and again 15 minutes from the property to Funchal. Lots of restaurants that can be walked to from the property (although remember it’s hilly) or a drive into Funchal. A good base to explore the whole island from. Owners live on site and are very friendly and Patrica who organises the bookings and cleaning etc is also very helpful and easy to contact.

Cons: As there are lots of plants in the gardens I did get a few mosquito bites (but then I am a magnet for them) so take sprays and room devices if you suffer. The only recommendation would be to change the TV to a smart TV so you can log into your own streaming services like Netflix etc. Also a nice extra touch would have been dressing gowns and a few more hangers. Plenty of towels including larger pool ones provided. Madeira is very hilly, so a car is a must and with hindsight we would have chosen an automatic, as the roads can be very twisty, steep up and downhill and lots of 180 degree switchback turns.

Pros: Good location with sea views. The town offers everything you need: shopping, restaurants, etc. Patricia is very friendly and helps wherever she can. I would definitely stay again.

Cons: The restrooms could be cleaner (shower head). The kitchen could be better equipped, as could the barbecue area. This is a high-level complaint.

Pros: Fantastic location! The property is beautiful, the view is excellent - what to want more? I loved the garden - every day we stepped outside we could smell the flowers in the air. 100% recommended :)

Really relaxing and stress free accommodation would definitely recommend friends and family

Pros: The view from the balcony was stunning being able to look to the ocean on a clear day. All time access to the pool was great. It was possible to walk down to the beach or up to the town really quickly and not to far tk funchal.

Cons: Wasn't a lot of cooking wear so before you buy food to cook with would check what they have already in so you know you could make it l. Not a problem if your going out to eat every day.

Beautiful apartment in quiet location convenient for airport and buses to Funchal

Pros: The apartment was located in a beautiful garden with views to the ocean. The property was spacious and clean with two bathrooms and a balcony where we could sit and have meals/drinks. There was a washing machine in a covered passageway between apartments as well as a sink and a tumble drier, which was very convenient. The apartment is located in a gated area, close to bus stops and within walking distance (although steeply uphill) of shops and supermarkets. Funchal is 10km away, reached by bus in about 1/2 hour.

Cons: We were surprised that a property of this rating did not have a dishwasher. There could have been more crockery and a small saucepan would have been useful.

Pros: Amazing location, lots of busses for easy transport with local shops and restaurants. Our room was clean and had everything we needed, pool was always open. Overall, very nice place

Cons: Pool was a bit cold

Peaceful and relaxing location

Pros: Really beautiful building in a calm and peaceful location. Wonderful views of the sea and surrounded by trees and plants. Good parking spot on the property plus facilities like washing machine and room with microwave, kettle, fridge, hobs. Short uphill walk to local grocery store and some really nice restaurants in Canical. 10 min drive to Funchal. Would stay again!

Cons: We stayed for 10 days and there was no house keeping or cleaning products left to do it yourself. Would have been nice to have had the room swept and beds changed in this time as this did feel long.
