Perfect location - close to the city by walk. Great to have parking as this is generally problematic in Funchal. However, the parking space is very small (some of the parking is in the yard, some is in the garage - we had a space in the yard and rented a small Seat). The apartment is as it is in the photos. Everything was fine. Nice, clean, fragrant. Especially one of the bedrooms has a breathtaking view all the way down to the harbor. There is a small balcony by the living room - table + 4 chairs, the fifth can be added from the room (so no problem). We would love to come back! Thank you.
The only thing to improve - the frying pan in the kitchen was damaged (we didn't mind, we bring our own).

Staff were friendly, apartment was very clean. Only a short walk into central funchal. Beds were comfortable and apartment had a lovely seaview
Big stain on the living room matt, looked like bleach. Nothing too concerning but made the apartment look dirty

Got muddled when I arrived and friendly cleaning lady showed me to the room and pointed out the key box.
Bed was really comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Daily towel change was a nice luxury.
Parking was a bit tricky, but a very minor issue.

El alojamiento estaba completamente equipado y con una correcta distribución. Es muy luminoso y la terraza es grande y cómoda. Dispone de parking, lo cual facilita mucho la estancia ya que es difícil aparcar. Además, está a una distancia prudente andando del centro, por lo que dejábamos el Coche en el parking e íbamos andando sin problema. Además al entrar en el apartamento disponíamos de una cesta de bienvenida, con café, infusiones, azúcar, sal, pimienta.

Lage etwas erhöht in einer Einzelhausgegend ohne Hotels in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Appartement (Nr. D) über zwei Ebenen. Blick aufs Meer vom Wohnbereich und von einer kleinen Terrasse vom Schlafzimmer aus. Die Ausstattung (Kaffeemaschine, Wasserkocher, Mikrowelle, Toaster, usw.) war gut, die Schlafcouch war zum Sitzen ok, ob sie zum bequemen Schlafen taugt, haben wir nicht probiert. Gute Erstausstattung mit Tee, löslichem Kaffee, Milch, Zucker, Salz, Pfeffer. Das Wasser ist trinkbar, hatte für uns aber einen gewöhnungsbedürftigen Geruch. Extrem gute tägliche Reinigung inkl. frischer Handtücher von nettem Personal. Wer das nicht möchte, hängt ein Schild an die Tür. WLAN extrem leistungsfähig (> 100 Mbit Up- und Download). Bushaltestelle ma. 60 Meter weg. Nur portugiesische Fernsehsender. Instruktionen zum Einlass sehr verständlich, unbedingt die Nummer merken, benötigt man immer für die ersten zweit Türen.
Recht hellhörig. Unsere Nachbarn der letzten 3 Tage sprachen sehr laut und wir konnten jedes Wort verstehen. Bei den Nachbarn vorher war es ruhig. Duschen in der Badewanne, Duschkopf drehte sich bei hohem Wasserdruck zur Seite. Wir hatten doch tatsächlich einige Mücken, also die Fenster nicht bei voller Beleuchtung aufreißen. Wenn es auf der großen Gemeinschaftsterrasse statt 4 Barhockern noch etwas bequemere Sitze gegeben hätte, wären wir dort häufiger zum Sundowner gewesen.

Our apartment was a pleasant open space studio, quite spacious, very clean, and well-equipped. It has a nice balcony with a view of the sea. It's next to a busy road, but the place has windows that insulate well from the outside noise. Still, if you are a very light sleeper and like to sleep in you might need earplugs. There was a welcoming basket with a few essentials which is a nice touch.
A few minor points:
- it would be good to have a rug at the entrance to clean our shoes before entering the apartment.
- since it is next to a little stream, it would be good to have a mosquito net in the balcony window so that we can keep it open without mosquitoes coming in.
- my partner thought the coffee machine was giving a bad taste to the coffee made there, so maybe adding a small plunger coffee maker to the kitchen would provide another alternative.
- a few items in the house are starting to show some degradation like the shower head that doesn't attach well, and the wobbling dining table, so I guess you might end up needing to do some refurbishing soon.

Appartamento molto spazioso e ben organizzato con la cucina perfettamente attrezzata e un piacevolissimo ampio spazio esterno coperto. Posizione abbastanza strategica per la città vecchia (10 minuti in discesa / 15 minuti in salita a piedi di strada molto ripida). Doccia molto buona. Parcheggio privato disponibile (fondamentale in questa parte della città se si arriva in auto).
Le istruzioni copia/incolla per l'arrivo non erano precise; conseguentemente è stato parecchio difficoltoso trovare in quale spazio parcheggiare l'auto (ci sono due ingressi per le auto totalmente separati e distanti l'uno dall'altro). In generale poi la comunicazione con i proprietari non è stata così rapida ed efficace (ad una richiesta al telefono hanno detto avrebbero richiamato per fornire la risposta ma non lo hanno fatto; la stessa domanda ripetuta via messaggio in Booking.com al pomeriggio ha ottenuto risposta solo in tarda serata).

I was in Appt F on the lower ground floor. It was clean throughout. It had a fridge, freezer, cooker, dishwasher, toaster, pots and pans, a safe, microwave, kitchen utensils, glassware etc. TV with some English speaking channels. The mini basket of tea, coffee and milk was greatly appreciated. The bathroom including a bidet was spacious with hair dryer and complimentary shower gel etc and lots of towels for me as a solo guest. There are lots of plugs for charging phones and the WiFi was first class and worked every time. My balcony was a nice touch with a side view of the port in the distance. I would assume the views were better on the higher floors and are prized on NYE for the views of fireworks although I checked out before NYE celebrations started. Security of the building was good. I liked the Christmas decorations in the hallway on each floor level. They provide a four digit code to enter through two metal doors and a keypad to enter your room. The area is safe and quiet at all times of the day and night. The uphill climb from the old town was harmless for me as a woman in her 5th decade. Ten minute walking takes you to the Old Town with an abundance of shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants at your disposal. The bus stop back to the airport is a few minutes walk past the Old Town.
I was a solo traveller and booked the smaller apartment although I was not aware of the floor level that it was on. The apartment had two small windows which were locked. You could open them to push back the dark green shutters and let in more light and then lock the glass windows for security but it still appeared a bit dark for me. There wasn't a bath robe or slippers in my room, maybe they forgot. On my first night, I couldn't find the bed coverings. Within minutes of contacting the staff by message, they responded although I later found a light blanket in the cupboard and apologised for inconveniencing them. People have commented about the lack of AC in the summer. I travelled in December and the apartment was cooler than I anticipated (especially at night) and the light blanket made sleeping slightly uncomfortable. I should have asked for another blanket because they respond fast when messaged. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my stay at Solar do Riberio and would have no problem returning or recommending it although personally I would pay extra for a larger apartment that affords better views and more light. BTW, I thought the 10.30am checkout was super early when most places ask you to vacate by 11 or midday and lastly mosquitoes are problem in Madeira and the staff at Solar do Ribero have no control over that. So if you don't want to hear mosquitoes singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in your ear at night then best to travel with your repellent like I did.

Close to the city center, car park in front of the building and included in the price.
Sterile atmosphere like in a hospital, windows facing the parking lot with no privacy if windows are open. Plastik curtains.

Good sized apartment
Very clean
Very well equipped
Good TV cable channels
Good hot shower
Good location
Strong WiFi
Great view from balcony
Complimentary basket of basic groceries
Christmas gift of Madeira wine and cookies was fantastic
Lovely staff
Good information and maps provided
Towels were badly worn and very rough. They don't reconcile with the rest of the apartment.
We were declined an early check in despite the apartment being available well before our requested time. Unnecessary.
Kitchen tap is faulty and needs replaced
Shower cubicle leaks water making the floor wet and dangerous
Balcony outside our bedroom was a waste of space. No chairs or loungers were provided for it. Just empty space.
Noisy apartments in same block and very noisy stairway outside in the lobby so the advertised soundproofing is misleading
Only 1 bidet despite 3 toilets

Excellent location and fantastic views towards the sea, about 15 mins down to the main area and even closer to the Old Town. The apartment was well equipped and had everything that we needed for our stay, and was decorated well. The instructions for checking in were really helpful and clear and the employees very helpful if/when we needed them! Would definitely recommend if we visited Funchal and Madeira again!
Very tight parking and a steep ramp down to the parking garage, even for experienced drivers in a small car. We ended up paying extra (12€ for 24hrs) to park it in the multi-storey car park next to the bus station for fear we wouldn’t be able to get out and about early to explore. There’s nowhere to park on the road so actually getting the keys from the key safe outside the apartment was very stressful. You have to be close enough to the garage to open the door and hold for a short while until it opens which is difficult on a fairly busy road. One very small point - things like washing up tablets and clothes washing supplies would’ve been handy, so bring some with you if you want to wash clothes

Very nice and spacious apartaments with sea view. Well equipped, not far away from old town.
Helpful and very kind staff.
We didin't expect to have such hot weather, would recommend to have air conditioning.

The apartment was spacious and had a nice ocean view and was in walkable distance to the city centre. The host allowed us early check-in.
1. No air conditioning, during our stay was a heatvawe in Funchal (too hot even at night) and there was only a fan. On the other hand, without the fan it would be impossible to fall asleep.
2. Also, we have discovered ants in the kitchen and even in bathroom few times during our stay.
3. Walls were not very sound-proof.
4. At least Netflix would be nice.

Property was lovely, clean and spacious; with everything you need to stay, including a washing machine, iron, and hair dryer
No air con, so windows had to be left open, which isn’t a problem. However there is a couple of dogs that live near by that bark throughout the night, meaning you have to close the windows, which then makes it extremely hot.
Garage parking is extremely difficult if you have anything bigger than a Clio. I’d recommend asking for the upstairs parking, if you do have something bigger.

The location is great. A 10-20 minute walk from the central bus urban, airport and interurban stops, a big supermarket, many restaurants, shops and bars and the harbour. The apartment had a lovely view of the harbour, a big balcony with good balcony furniture and there is a rooftop with an even better view of the sea.
The apartment has a comfortable bed, a good bathroom, a big and functional kitchen, a good oven, a big fridge, a washing machine, a good sized dining table, a good sofa and an armchair and coffee table. The apartment is light and bright, with shutters and windows which cut out the noise of a relatively quiet street (though the local dogs go crazy barking at night!)
The staff are extremely helpful and quick to respond if there are any issues. We had 6 delightful weeks there and were very sad to leave.
There is no door between the bedroom and living room, just the built in wardrobe which serves as a divider. This is not an issue, except if one person wants to be up later than the other at night. The kitchen has enough equipment, but not everything you need if you are a keen cook, eg only 1 chopping board and no tongs or egg flip.

Great room service.
The apartment description said it was wheelchair accessible but there were stairs to access the main bathroom and bedroom. The stairs were not safe for children. There was no handrail.
The apartment didn't have oil for cooking.

The location is perfect, only 10 mins walk into the old town where you can access lots. There is also a bus stop extremely close which is super handy.
The apartment is modern and clean, with lots of facilities. You can see the sea from your window which is so lovely. It also felt very safe and secure. The bedroom was comfy and spacious.

Very nice apartment not far away from the city center (despite the fact that the way to the apartment is a bit challenging). Fully equipped and really comfortable.
I guess there are some humidity problems but it is not a big deal.
