Appartement très bien situé dans Funchal (10 mn à pied centre ville), très calme et sécurisé avec parking privé pour voiture, très sombre (imposant arbre municipal) , frais (en janvier février avec un seul chauffage d'appoint insuffisant pour l'appartement en entier). Propriétaire courtois, disponible parlant peu le français.

Die Wohnung ist schön eingerichtet, sehr sauber und nicht weit vom Hafen entfernt. Da wir einen Mietwagen hatten, war die Garage Gold wert. Der Vermieter wohnt im selben Block und war nett und hilfsbereit. Jederzeit kann man hier bedenkenlos buchen.

Durant 15 jours, avec une bonne voiture louée chez Sixt, et grâce à un réseau routier de très bonne qualité, nous avons pu sillonner et visiter l'ensemble de l'île qui est très belle, végétation luxuriante et fleurissement exceptionnel. Les Madériens qui participent à cet embellissement (pas de tondeuses... seulement une serpette à la ceinture et de l'huile de coude !) ont beaucoup de mérite. Nous avons pu également randonner le long de quelques levadas (chaussures de marche et lampe de poche indispensables) et profiter de superbes paysages (cascades, falaises...). Pas de souci pour se déplacer si pas de véhicule (taxis, bus) et pour trouver de quoi se ravitailler, ou pour les dîners dans les très nombreux restaurants, à des prix très abordables. L'appartement de M. Canha est bien situé pour visiter le centre historique de Funchal accessible à pied en 10mn, son appartement est parfaitement meublé et entretenu, dans résidence très calme et sécurisée avec parking fermé, et son emplacement - à l'écart de la zone hôtelière du Lido, et au bout d'une petite rue sans issue, près d'une chapelle et d'une petite école - permet de s'imprégner de la vie quotidienne des Madériens (En Juin, fête de l'Atlantic avec concours de feux d'artifices, fête des Arts, fête de la St Jean). Bref, cette destination est parfaite pour ceux qui aiment et respectent la nature. Nous y reviendrons certainement, et pouvons recommander la location de M. Canha à toutes personnes.

Le logement est situé environ à 15 bonnes minutes à pied du centre, il est spacieux mais très sombre, un peu triste. Contrairement à ce qui est noté sur le site le propriétaire ne parle pas français, nous avions choisi cet appartement en partie pour la langue parlée

Gil met us at the apartment early in the morning with the keys & the remote for the garage door. He was very helpful & showed us around the apartment explaining where everything was. The apartment has everything that you need. It is clean & comfortable. There is a small sun terrace off the bedroom which at this time of year usually gets the sun later on in the afternoon. The kitchen has all the essentials​ including a washing machine which came in very useful. The apartment is only a 15 to 20 minute walk down to the nearest supermarket & shops. It​ is well placed for walking to the marina, old town or the tourist area on Estrada Monumental. On the day we were leaving our flight wasn't until the evening so Gil very kindly let us stay on until the afternoon. We enjoyed our stay & would gladly return.

We recently spent a week in this spacious, quiet apartment in Funchal. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and we had everything we needed for a lovely vacation. It is only about a ten-minute walk to the old part of Funchal, and far away from the bustling tourism of the hotel side of the city. The owner, Gil, was very helpful, offering suggestions on where to go and eat on the island. We recommend this apartment highly!

Large apartment, very friendly owner who lives nearby. The apartment is a 20 min walk downhill to Funchal and a quite steep hike back up - although there are buses which stop 3 minutes away. Very shady apartment - in January we had no sun whatsoever. There is an outside space which is light, but not sunny at this time of year. Nearest shops and restaurants 20 minutes walk away. Good internet connection, some british tv, news and bbc entertainment channel.

This large, well maintained property is located in a residential area about 15-20 mins uphill walk from the marina. The bus station and large shopping mall- La Vie, not Dolce Vita- are within 10 mins walk. The friendly owner, Gil, pointed out a few places of interest and told us the nearest places to eat were in the mall which didn't sound too promising at first but there's a lovely Italian restaurant tucked away in the corner where we ate twice and would recommend. The downside is that there are two very large trees in front of the apartment which cut out all the light and make it a bit cold and gloomy (which is why we didn't give 5 stars) Would suggest putting table and chairs and a couple of pot plants on the patio outside the bedroom as this gets the sun. Our favourite day out was to Ponta de Sao Lourenco, the most easterly point- wild and rugged with fantastic views- you need sturdy footwear and water. There's plenty to do in and around Funchal, museums, gardens, lots of walking and there are dozens of restaurants in the old town and a lovely atmosphere.

"We really enjoyed our stay on this beautiful island. The apartment was very comfortable, clean and quiet. We especially liked sitting out on the balcony in the evenings, under the shade of the big tree, watching the children playing in the square. Gil (the owner) could not have been more helpful and it was useful to be able to park our hired car in the garage under the apartment."

"Apartment was really nice, big, clean, well-equipped with terraces and lovely and comfortable furniture. It is a walking distance away from the city centre and marine, where everything is happening. People are kind, i was happy with the apartment so i really recommend this place."
