Great views
Pros: The location on a hillside with views of the city, mountains and the ocean was quite spectacular. There were several restaurants in walking range, and it was easy to get to the center of town by car. The apartment and the terrace were very spacious. The garage was convenient to have, as parking in the area would otherwise be complicated (however, the parking space is quite small, and there is little room to manoeuver, so it's only suitable for small cars like the Clio we had). The area was.reasonably quiet despite the terrace being located over a street. We slept well every night.
Cons: There definitely is a problem with ventilation in the whole apartment. Especially the smaller bathroom smells iffy. Maybe it's better in the summer, but in late December and early January it was an issue.

Pros: The location and amenities were good even if they are on the exterior terrace. To be mentioned that both bathrooms have acces from the livingroom not from the bedrooms. The host was responsive, gave us infos about madeira and we were able to check out anytime we want.
Cons: The room could benefit from better ventilation or a dehumidifier to improve air quality especially at night. If you’re sensitive to humidity, it might not be the best for you. The couches are very musty and bad smelling because of this.

Highly recommended!
Pros: Our stay has been really good! Tiago has been taking care of the stay even before our arrival (he made sure everything will go a straight way, also giving tipps for maderia and things to discover). The apartment was very clean, and it had everything that was needed. The view from the outside kitchen is very nice, with the mountains to the left and the sea to the right. Also, we were flexible regarding the checkout time. In our case, it was okay to leave a bit later than 11 am. I'm very confident that we would have gotten support if we needed it during our stay. Much recommended!

Pros: We loved our stay in the apartment. It is very spacious, confortable, has everything that we needed for our stay in Madeira and amazing views of Funchal and the ocean. The recommendations provided by the contact person have been very detailed and useful, helping us make the most of our stay on the island.
Cons: The internet was not covering the entire house but we had plenty of data on our cells so this was not a problem for us.

A perfect property for two couples or a family with children.
Pros: I especially liked the fact that the property had a big terrace and an outside kitchen which we used every morning and evening. We made food with local produce, for example we fried local fish twice and had a barbeque, something I would not have done had we not had access to the outdoor kitchen. In addition, the indoor common area is spacious and there are two separate bathrooms.

Pros: A large spacious apartment with two bathrooms and a large terrace. An outdoor kitchen was available, but we didn't use it much because we were going on trips and dining out in restaurants in the evenings. Everything necessary was provided, including towels, soap, a hairdryer, and laundry detergent tablets. Our host, Tiago, was very attentive and recommended places to visit as well as restaurants. It was also possible to arrange a later check-out.
Cons: The apartment is on the ground floor of the house, so the environment is more humid, and some cabinets were musty. The smaller bathroom also had a slight odor, so we used the larger one with a window. There were a lot of mosquitoes, repellents were available, but we still got bitten quite a lot.

The perfect base for all your shenanigans.
Pros: The apartment was large and had excellent facilities for cooking. It was clean, had veggies ripe for the picking and was in a great location. The pizza oven and BBQ were a lovely addition and the washing machine and dishwasher were also excellent, although not in the description. There were two showers and they were great. The host was very friendly via WhatsApp and the cake and wine were a welcome addition considering we were 4 hours late arriving due to being diverted to Porto Santos due to winds. Buses were close by and some excellent cafes. Due to the exceptionally strange weather it was very hot in the apartment but a large fan was provided when requested. Leaving the windows open was a recipe for bitesaster.
Cons: Having to go from the lounge/bar area to the microwave and fridge outside all the time. It was exceptionally hot and the mosquitoes were really going for it. Although mozzie killer was supplied and it's a nature thing but remember to take antihistamine cream! There were only 2 knives for use in the kitchen, one knife for bread and a VERY blunt knife for everything else. Needs some new knives.
