About this property

Elias Garcia II, apartment in the city center

This is a historical apartment in the city of Funchal, projected by the well known portuguese architect Rául Chorão Ramalho. The apartment fits in the center, overlooking the Madeiran houses to the sea and the Cathedral of Funchal - which is located just five minutes walk.
Designed in the 70s, the apartment has been completely refurbished and offers a warm, modern and contemporary decor.
Daylighting is watchword in this apartment. Both the two bedrooms, both with double beds, like the living room and kitchen have large windows that let in the sunlight throughout the space.
The windows and balcony, open to different landscapes: mountain, sea, typical roofs of the city or the Cathedral of Funchal. Here, feel the pulse of the city of Funchal in all its forms.
The materials chosen for the renovation of the apartment are modern, sturdy and stylish, offering all the comforts for a relaxing and memorable vacation.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW
We are right in the city center, which is to say that there are points of interest for all sides. The Cathedral of Funchal is opposite, by the sea, and the restored old part of the city, to the left side. Following the right, the path ends at the College Largo, where the historic building of the Municipality of Funchal is the Sacred Art Museum or the College Church. But these are, of course, just some of the reference points, because at the heart of the city curiosities appear in every corner.
In the city center there are restaurants for every taste, terraces, museums, gardens and of course the city bay and large cruise ships as a backdrop.

By car, it only takes 15 minutes to get to the beach area.

Good vacation stay

We had a very good stay here and liked the room, the cleanliness, the weekly maid service, the location (within 10 minutes walk to downtown and amenities like restaurants, tours, groceries, etc.), and the water and hillside views (2nd story unit). Note that it is an uphill climb for two blocks to get to the unit. The furniture is mostly IKEA, so not that comfortable. The appliances were good, and dishwasher and washing machine soap was provided. We looked down on a medical clinic, an office building, and a secondary school, so it's an active neighborhood during the day (street noise can be loud at times), but is quiet through the night. I give it a Good rating, not Excellent, but it could be if the furniture was better. Would we stay here again? I wouldn't rule it out, but I would also look around first to see what else is available.

*Good communication with the apartment manager if you need anything or any recommendations. *Takes only a few minutes to walk to the center of town. *Safe, quiet. Nice neighbors. *Market and Bakery next door. *Very clean and comfortable for the price point. *Would have liked a ceiling fan or two, but there were constant breezes once you opened the shutters. *In spite of the open shutters, I saw very few mosquitoes (I saw two during my entire stay). *Mid-week housekeeping service was unexpected and a nice plus! **Would definitely stay here again. Very much recommended!!.

We were delayed for 3 days and the property was flexible in meeting us at midnight For checkin.

The apartment location and layout is wonderful. We found the windows very noisy when winds were blowing (even when closed) at night. Made sleeping difficult. Our stay was abbreviated so we decided not to stock the kitchen so it was very nice to be near restaurants.

Great property and location

We stayed for over a month and really enjoyed our time here. Highlights included the view of the hills and ocean, the short walk to markets, and lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. It was a perfect location for viewing the New Years Eve fireworks as well. The Wi-Fi was very speedy, with download speeds over 300 Mbps. Just be aware that Funchal is very hilly, and you will definitely be walking uphill every time you return to the apartment. We would definitely recommend this apartment.

Ótima estadia

Fomos muito bem recebidos pelo Sr Décio, que nos fez o check-in amavelmente, muito antes da hora prevista. Deu-nos todas as indicações necessárias, parques de estacionamento, supermercados etc A casa estava bem limpa e as fotos descrevem-na bem. A sala tem vista fantástica para vários lados do Funchal- montanha, mar, teleférico, etc. Apartamento equipado q,b. para uma semana de férias em família. Sugiro que incluam pequena reserva de detergente para se poder usar a máquina da roupa. Muito gratos por tudo. Foi uma semana muito agradável. Recomendamos o apartamento.☺️

Wohnung in Ordnung

Wohnung war nicht wirklich sauber. Wir missten sogar Mittel zum säubern aller Abläufe in den Bädern kaufen und es hat trotzdem noch immer schrecklich gerochen. Zudem war es am Morgen enorm Lauft von der Strasse und der angrenzenden Liegenschaft. Der Kontakt zu AIA war angenehm und gut.
