The host was wonderful and the apartment is lovely, very spacious, well equipped and comfortable, much bigger than it seems in the photographs. José met us and welcomed us with gifts of fruit, bread, water and some delicious red wine. He also gave us great recommendations re places to eat -including the nearby Pereira Restaurant (just a few minutes’ walk away, up the hill) where we enjoyed a very tasty typical Madeira dinner and wine and were entertained with a show on the stage of lively traditional singing and dancing. He also put us in touch with an excellent local car hire company called Cora Atlantic On The Way. The apartment is also very quiet. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the centre. Buses 15B and 42 also go int town and it’s easy to get Uber or Bolt cabs. We had a great time in Funchal.

Jose’s apartment had everything we needed for a great stay. It had a full kitchen, lots of towels and blankets and was a great location to get into Funchal and also the other attractions and hikes around the island.Jose also gave us some great recommendations.

The apartment has everything you need. Well-equipped and well organized. Good contact with the host.

Great property! Jose was a wonderful host and very accommodating! My flight into Madeira arrived quite early and wanted to prolonged one of my hikes a bit, Jose was incredibly understanding of the later check in time. The apartment itself is great! Well equipped kitchen, was able to do laundry, and very spacious! Perfectly situated to drive in the surrounding area for hikes! Will definitely come back here again!
