Really lovely apartment. Spacious, well equipped, fabulous location. Huge balcony for lounging & eating. The view was mainly huge sea & sky, really felt like you were right in the middle of The Atlantic. We loved it! Few steps to get to the bus & supermarket but fairly flat walk to Câmara de Lobos, very pretty fishing village. There are 2 good restaurants close by with no steps and a sparkly bar just on the corner. Highly recommended. Nyara was very communicative and helpful. If you want self catering this apartment is just amazing. We were just 2 people but there are 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms so would accommodate 4 easily. Thank you for having us Nyara!

Property was in a great walking area. On the ocean, quiet with restaraunts, grocery store, pharmacy, a mall and a bus stop all a short walk away. We would walk into Funchal city center which was about an hour but also on occasion took the bus into the city which was easy and convenient.Nyara was always reachable. No issues with the apartment. It was clean, well equipped and a great balcony overlooking the pool and the ocean. Great boardwalk with numerous cafes and small restaraunts also.I would highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Funchal, Madeira.

My family enjoyed a terrific vacation in Funchal, Madeira at this property. The apartment was large and clean, with all the amenities our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) needed. The location is incredible, with several modern grocery stores and many restaurants within walking distance. The view overlooking the pool and beach is fantastic. The walkway along the beach with access to beachfront restaurants was really nice. The 5 minute walk to the natural pools was really interesting as it goes through a tunnel through the island's lava rock. The property owner was very pleasant and provided easy communication to organize our trip and for any needs or questions we had. A wonderful vacation for our family and we hope to be able to return soon!

Communication with Nyara was complete and helpful. We looked forward to our stay anticipating comfort and convenience. We appreciated the arrangement to have a taxi meet us at the airport, (although when leaving we took the Aeroporto bus that stops at the property for half the cost). It was good to be welcomed in person and shown the apartment by Nyara’s representative. Overall, we had a good stay. Fun to watch ship traffic or enjoy breakfast on the terrace. Walking the promenade to Camara de Lobos was lovely. Previously we walked the promenade from the Lido only to discover we could not reach the hotel since a tunnel had been closed for due to weather damage. Made for a good extra 45-minute detour to get home. Would have been good to know in advance! Pleasing Aspects of the Apartment: Generally speaking, the apartment is certainly adequate if you are not looking for luxury. Great terrace + ocean view, master bedroom view, comfy bed, good storage. Spacious interior with reliable internet. Well equipped kitchen. Good towels provided. Pool facility, gardens, and sunning area very satisfactory. Things to Improve: Repair the washing machine to working order. Requested assistance but got no response from contact provided (Nyara was away). Replace cushions on the couch - not at all comfortable as is, especially for older visitors. Replace sun umbrella stand- worn out, doesn't support umbrella. Maybe a power bar would help in the kitchen. The single electric outlet made for awkward preparation - had to keep changing the connections. Second bedroom is dark and unappealing. Window has a dark lattice covering and overlooks the hallway- no light. Location Notes: As described, this apt is located at the western edge of Funchal – 20 minutes away from downtown. Very quiet. No immediate diversions to speak of. Be aware that to get to the great conveniences mentioned on the website – banking, grocery etc.- you must climb a height of about 80 m via stairs to the main thoroughfare above the apt/hotel, or taking longer, walk the roadway up. There is also a #43 bus that can be used to get to the top. If you are fit and have no limited mobility issues this is not a problem. Once up on the Estrada Monumental there are busses that go right downtown, very helpful and convenient.
