We had a great stay

The property is so much bigger than it looked in the pictures. It is perfectly located on the sunniest side of the island . It is within walking distance to the beach and some lovely restaurants. Really enjoyed our trip to this island.

Flight delayed but this caused no problem, was still met at the apartment. It was clean and well equipped. Wifi worked and there was a computer which was a welcomed bonus. There were three flights of stairs so if you have any mobility issues then bear this in mind as there is no lift. There was parking but it easier to use the large car park directly opposite. One of the electrical connections in the bedroom under the dressing table needed some attention as it seemed loose. Madeleine de Mar, I knew, has a passing through character but a good base for that part of Madeira. Ponta do Sol and Jardim do Mar worth a visit. If you are there to walk then Levada Moinho and Nova worth it although maybe it's a hike to the Church, I had a car. They have now put in steps to link both so if you don't want to go up then do Nova first. Btw plenty of info available in apartment which gets a worthwhile mention. I am both seasoned visitor to Madeira and have used Homeaway several times, since I am travelling around the globe I intend to use Homeaway and indeed its main competitor when I can, the point being that this apartment deserves a good review.

This charming top floor apartment was very well equipped, spotlessly clean, and had everything you could possibly need, very useful car parking under the apartment block with automatic gates in and out. Lots of useful information and guides, and a wonderful very extensive balcony with seats, a lounger and outside table and chairs to enjoy the sun and was very private. There are two restaurants within very short walking distance of the apartment, ....we never found a little shop or mercado in the village but a short ride in one direction is a pingo doce supermarket and in the other direction an excellent grocery/ cafe at the garage on the roundabout with lots of parking, you could buy everything you need there. Just one comment, the apartment is on the top floor , three floors up, there is no lift, for anyone fit or under 70 no problem at all, we are both seventy plus and found the stairs hard going!! but it was worth the climb. A lovely apartment and Paula and Nelson were there to meet us and we're very welcoming.
