Apartment With Swimming Pool And Fantastic Ocean View - Adults Only
About this condo rental
This apartment is situated in Funchal, at Formosa beach, with an amazing view to the Atlantic Ocean and direct access to the beach. To enjoy the mild climate of Madeira island, the sun and the sea view, relaxing at the apartment balcony or choose to take a swim in the swimming pool or in the sea. In a unique location with bars, coffee shops and local restaurants nearby. The apartment has 2 bedrooms (one master bedroom with sea view) and 2 bathrooms, one balcony and one private rooftop terrace with amazing sea view. Guests have access to the swimming pool which is part of the complex. There is also direct access to the beach from the pool area. In March 2023, the new seafront walking path was completed, which allows easy access to the natural pools of Doca do Cavacas, through a typical tunnel, all year round. This tunnel was officially opened on April 2023 and will be open all year round - from 9am until 10pm. Just nearby the apartment you have some restaurants and coffee shops for your first meal (ex. a local fish restaurant “By The Sea”, just leaving the parking area, at your right side). Two doors after the restaurant you have a “lounge bar” called “Maresia” for a drink (they are open in the afternoon and evening). Nearby are other good local restaurants (ex.: Barqueiro, Doca do Cavacas, By the Sea, Bear Garden, and others) and a Shopping Center called Forum Madeira, with a big supermarket, all at a walking distance. Going Around: Just in front of the apartment complex you find a restaurant for your first meal (a local fish restaurant called “By The Sea”, just leaving the parking area, at your right side). Two doors after the restaurant you have a “lounge bar” called “Maresia” for a drink (they are open in the afternoon and evening). After these restaurant and bar you will find some steps on your right. These stairs lead you to the street above, the main street called Estrada Monumental where you have everything: a bus stop (all the buses run on this road, namely the yellow ones that go to the city center); a grocery (that sells fruits, vegetables and basics like water, milk, etc.); a bakery & coffee shop; a pharmacy; a rent-a-car company and a bank (all just crossing the main road). If you keep walking along this main street to the right you will find the Forum Madeira” shopping center with a bigger supermarket (around 10 minutes walking). This is big building with a palm trees entrance on the left side of the avenue. The supermarket is called “Pingo Doce” and it is situated inside the shopping centre on the ground zero (it opens at 9h am and closes at 11h pm every day, including Sundays). I remember there is a taxi rank just in front of the shopping center in case you would like to use it to get back to your apartment (situated at Atlântic Gardens, by Formosa Beach). Than if you keep walking along this street you will reach Lido village and then Funchal city centre in the end. From your apartment complex pool door to the left side: From your balcony you will see the beach. From the swimming pool area you will find a door to access the beach. If you walk along the beach to the left side you will find a tunnel – closes at 22h pm (5 minutes walking). This tunnel will cross the rock and leads you to the natural swimming pools. Here you have a good restaurant for fish called “Doca do Cavacas” (they close on Mondays). From here you can climb the steps to reach the upper road where you will find more restaurants (a seafood restaurant called “Barqueiro” and a good Italian restaurant called “Papa Manuel”) and a bus stop to take the yellow bus number 2 to go to the city centre. Near both restaurants you have a small shopping and inside you will find a small supermarket called “Meu Super” and a bakery called Bruno`s. If you keep walking along the walking path (no cars here) you can walk until “Ponta Gorda” and “Lido” (swimming pools complexes with entrances to the sea) with restaurants, bars along the way. In the middle of the way you will find a “tea house” on your left side. Immediately before the “tea house” there is a walking path to go up on the left side. If you go up you will reach other road with more restaurants. If you keep walking along this road to the right, you will see the “Forum Madeira” shopping center with a bigger supermarket (from the tea house to the shopping it takes around 5/10 minutes walking). The “Forum Madeira” shopping centre is big building with a palm trees entrance. The supermarket is called “Pingo Doce” and it is situated inside the shopping centre on the ground zero (it opens at 9h am and closes at 11h pm every day, including Sundays). I remember there is a taxi rank just in front of the shopping center in case you would like to use it to get back to your apartment (situated in Atlantic Gardens building, by Formosa Beach). From your apartment complex pool door to the right side: Backing to your apartment complex: From your balcony you can see a big cliff called Cabo Girão with 580 mts high. From your complex to the right you can reach black sandy beaches and have a great walk where you will find more restaurants and coffee shops always along the beach This walking path goes direction to the next fisherman's village Câmara de Lobos” (from the last white restaurant by the beach it will be 3 kms to reach the fisherman’s village – easy walk; flat). This walking it is better to do in the morning.

My husband and I stayed for a week in this wonderful apartment. The view is amazing! We were in the ocean within 5 minutes of leaving the apartment. The pool is refreshing, and a bit warmer than the ocean. There are a couple if restaurants within easy walking distance, and of you're up to elevation gain, its not far from the main street. It's a €5 taxi ride into Funchal. Nyara was so easy to communicate with! She responded quickly every time we messaged her. Her husband, Miguel, gave us a really fun jeep tour. We plan to visit again!

Traumferienwohnung
Die Lage und Ausstattung der Penthouse-Wohnung sind perfekt. Strand vor der Tür mit vielen kleinen Restaurants oder Snackbars. Der Ausblick vom Balkon und der riesigen Dachterrasse sind atemberaubend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Zum Wandern ist der Ausgangspunkt Funchal bestens geeignet. Prädikat „unbedingt empfehlenswert“.

Meeresrauschen beim Einschlafen.
Das Penthouse selbst liegt hervorragend. Sehr schöne Aussicht auf das Meer und den Strand. Das grosse Doppelbett ist sehr bequem. Das Apartment dürfte insgesamt sauberer geputzt sein. Die Umgebung des Gebäudekomplexes lässt zu wünschen übrig. Poolbar sowie Hotelbar wären vorhanden, sind aber wohl seit längerer Zeit nicht mehr in Betrieb. Die Zufahrt und Umgebung der Praia Formosa haben ihre Glanztage schon länger hinter sich. Sehr schade.

Tolle Ferienwohnung. Gastgeberin Nyara ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Im August muss man mit Besuch von Stechmücken rechnen. Ansonsten alles super: Zentral gelegen in Strandnähe!

Loved it
Nyara was probably the best part if the trip! From booking she made sure our needs were catered for, from booking transfers to suggesting activities for us to do. She even had a lovely bottle of wine and some beers for us when we arrived. Accommodation is exactly as shown, was clean, tidy and homely. Thank you for helping make our first trip to Madeira so joyous

Sehr schönes und geräumiges Apartment und nette Vermieter!
Das Apartment ist genau wie beschrieben und liegt im obersten Stock einer größeren Komplexes, wie es in dieser Lage Standard ist. Der Balkon und die separate Sonnenterasse lassen einen schönen Blick auf das Meer zu. Die beiden Schlafzimmer sind mit ordentlichen Betten ausgestattet, Wohnzimmer und Küche erfüllen die Bedürfnisse eines Ferienaufenthalts.
Die Vermieterin Nyara hat uns am Anreisetag freundlich empfangen und war bei der Buchung eines Transports vom Flughafen zur Wohnung behilflich. Sie hatte auch eine Menge Tips zum Aufenthalt in Funchal und zu Restaurants im Umkreis. Die Flasche Wein zur Begrüßung war eine nette Geste, und unsere Fragen während des Aufenthalts wurden immer schnell beantwortet.
Wir haben uns in der Woche dort sehr wohl gefühlt, das Apartment bietet ausreichend Platz für 4 Personen und erlaubt die Zubereitung kleinerer Mahlzeiten. Die Waschmaschine ist praktisch, wenn man kurz etwas durchwaschen will oder nicht soviel Gepäck mitnehmen möchte.
Die Innenstadt von Funchal ist bequem mit Bussen zu erreichen, selbst zum Flughafen kann man bequem mit dem Bus, der quasi vor der Tür abfährt, gelangen.
Für Ausflüge zu anderen Teilen der Insel ist aber ein Mietwagen empfehlenswert.
Ein besonderes Highlight war der Jeep-Ausflug, den wir bei Miguel, dem Ehemann von Nyara, gebucht hatten. Miguel hat uns Orte auf der Insel gezeigt, zu denen wir selbst nie hin gefunden hätten, und uns so ein paar sehr schöne Stunden bereitet. Aus unserer Sicht ist ein solcher Ausflug ein absolutes Muss, das wir jedem, der die Insel besucht, nur empfehlen können. Miguel erzählt kurzweilig über verschiedene Aspekte des Lebens auf der Insel und gestaltet den Ablauf jeweils individuell, so dass man auch gut Einfluss nehmen kann. Uns hat es sehr viel Spaß gemacht.
Alles in allem können wir die Unterkunft ohne Bedenken weiterempfehlen.

Special spot with gorgeous views, peace & quiet
From the moment we booked with Nyara, we knew we were about to have a great holiday. Her passion for Madeira really showed even before we arrived on this amazing island; from researching into some activities we specifically wanted to do like kayaking, arranging transport at special rates, sorting motorbike hire, to sharing local knowledge on where to eat, what to eat, how to travel around and generally explore, all tailored just for us.
The apartment was clean, spacious and well appointed. It probably could do with a little modernising at some point, but it was so delightful sitting on our own balcony, listening to the waves roll in, we couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Even packed my yoga mat and thoroughly enjoyed my morning practice on the roof terrace as the sun rose over the bay - sublime!
Easy reach of the pool, the beach and a fab sea lido. Loads of great restaurants within 5-10 mins walk. A super pastry shop/cafe and fruit market close. 10 mins walk to a bus stop that can take you into Funchal. All really easy.
Nyara also introduced us to her partner Miguel who runs fantastic jeep tours - these are really special - don't book via any other group, as Miguel offers an authentic view of the island, from a local's perspective not the main tourist rat-runs all the other companies do. He genuinely wants you to experience all the wonders of the island, and will adapt routes according to the weather, opposed to just taking you the same way because it's easier. He stops at local cafe's with friendly islanders making local specialities - Wonderful!
These guys also have some fantastic contacts for sailing trips to see whales and dolphins, with stop-offs at key secluded spots - we ran out of time to go, but again, if this is your thing, don't book with any other tour as they pack loads of people together on a larger boat and take you on a set route, whereas, Miguel's local company will only take a small number and will have you experience the island as the locals do. Like wise with the kayak company he set us up with - amazing personalised service, paddling to a protected nature reserve where we all then could snorkel.
We had an amazing time, the apartment location was super, and with Nyara and Miguel who helped us experience the real Madeira, we just didn't want to leave. In fact I am already scheming to work out how to get back ... especially as Nyara mentioned she has a few apartments we can try :)
Thank you for a fantastic holiday x

Great apartment, plenty of space, lovely balcony and separate roof terrace.
We had a lovely break, made all the more special by Niara who looked after us so well. She met us on arrival, gave us plenty of tips on the area and was available on-line with any support required. We would recommend this apartment to family and friends.

Beautiful penthouse apartment on the shore.
What a lovely property in such a beautiful location. Very comfortable and peaceful. Spend fabulous evenings sitting on the wonderful balcony watching the sunset and listening to the waves crashing on the shore. We have visited Madeira on numerous occasions and this is definately our best stay. Our stay was so enhanced by Niara who took so much trouble to help in giving us advice and guidance. She went beyond the call of duty - thank you so much Niara. We will be returning. Sarah and Mike xx
