We stayed for a month Nov- Dec and loved our stay. The location on VRBO isn’t correct, google map Apartamento do Sol and you will see the small complex. We received check-in instructions by WhatsApp, collected the keys from a lock box at ETC office and were able to let ourselves in easily. You are allocated an outside parking space close to the apartment so we used that instead of the underground parking. Access to the apartment is via a flight of 16 steps. We found it very quiet with no internal noise from other apartments. When you open the front door the view is staggering. We loved the balcony and the airy lounge. The dishwasher, washing machine, oven and hob are all easy to use. The wifi worked well, the TV had some English channels. The bedrooms and bathrooms have mosquito screens on the windows so you can sleep with windows open without worry. Both bathrooms have a bath tub (master ensuite is full size, other half size) with shower over. We loved the extra touches like a basket full of throws, books, cds and media player, candle holders, walking sticks, umbrellas. There is an even bigger selection of books by the pool area and a variety of noodles and inflatables that can be borrowed. We didn’t use the pool but it looked good and was always quiet. Our sheets and towels were changed every Thursday by Diva. We did find the mosquitos in Madeira dreadful (worse than the tropics or Caribbean) so bring plenty of repellent. Diva seemed to let them back in every week!

The apartment is spacious, with all you need for an enjoyable stay. The views are amazing for watching the sunset after a day of exploring. The location is nice too, very quiet with good restaurants nearby. A fan would have been a nice bonus.

This property was just as described and was all we hoped. Beautiful view, well equipped, nice area. Host was really responsive. Thank you!

Leider waren in der Nachbarwohnung Bauarbeiten, so dass es ab 08:00 Uhr sehr laut war. Deshalb nur 3 Sterne, ansonsten fünf.
