It was close to the center and the marine. The apartment was excellent, with a great view. The only disadventage was the narrow street and the garage, because it was hard to park there, but 100m downhill was a cheap car park, so you can park there. We enjoyed our stay a lot. It was wonderful.

The apartment was great for two of us for one week. Access and communications were good. Shower was hot with adequate power. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen could do with some essentials, seasoning, oil, vinegar etc. but we ate out in the main. Town easy to access, 10 minutes downhill. Slower coming back uphill! We especially enjoyed watching the cruise liners come in and out of the harbour. Madeira/Funchal does have extremely steep narrow roads which you should be aware of if renting a vehicle. We hired a motorbike and were grateful for the garage space. Getting a car into the space would have been interesting!

Only a few things to note...

The location is beautiful. Yes: You will hike up and down but you will love the space, the view, the cleanliness. The friendliness of the man who checked us in and the accommodation of an earlier check-in. The water pressure in the shower and the inability for it to get truly hot are our only real concerns. I imagine the hosts will work on this.

Away from the English weather

We chose this property having done a lot of searching, and we were not disappointed . It was very modern and well equipped. The view over Funchal and the harbour was marvellous, and it kept us glued for hours. We really enjoyed our 4 weeks, particularly because the weather was so good. We decided not to rent a car so it was quite an effort to walk up to the property. You need to be fit as the last 2 climbs are very steep, besides the roads and steps before you even get to them. Judite and Rui were very helpful when our friend visited us.

Good stay with just a few little things to improve

We stayed in the flat for four days and really loved the incredible view from the living room. Absolutely perfect for exploring the city by night - the walk to the apartment from the inner city is just a few minutes. Driving there is a little adventure. The street might seem scary because it is very steep but just go for it! The flat was not quite as nice as it looks on the pictures and the kitchen is rather dark as it is in the back of the flat with only a little window. The parking garage is very nice as is the living room. For cleanliness it was alright even though we found some hair in the sink when we arrived and it would have been nice to have a new sponge in the kitchen (the one we had has definitely been used for a while). Over all a solid choice for staying in Funchal for a few days!

Crazy Location

The apartment itself was lovely…very clean and tastefully decorated, and it met almost all of my needs. Finding and getting to the apartment was insane. The only way to get to it is to drive up a narrow one way street/hill the WRONG way. And the hill is so steep it’s like being on a roller coaster. Once you make it up the hill, you drive along a very narrow alleyway to get to the apartment and garage. The rental car I was in sustained damage from scraping the cement wall opposite the garage. If you stay here and rent a car, do yourself a favor and get the smallest one you can. The apartment also has no air conditioning or window screens. It is close enough to the harbor/town that you can walk, but beware of those hills coming home! Judite was lovely and responsive. I only wish she had been more proactive in giving me directions to the apartment, knowing I was driving a rental from the airport.

Eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung mit allem was man für den Aufenthalt benötigt. Der Kontakt zu Judite was sehr angenehm und sie war jederzeit erreichbar bei Fragen. Ein traumhafter Ausblick vom Balkon aus machte den abendlichen Drink zu einem Schauspiel! Die Straße, die man Tür FeWo hochfahren muss ist sehr steil und braucht etwas Mut. Jedenfalls bei mir Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt ein Traum!

Tres bonne communication avec Judithe. L'emplacement est vraiment top, 15min à pied du centre ville avec une merveilleuse vue de la terrasse. Seule point négatif, gros dénivelé et impasse etroite pour arriver au logement. Très compliqué de se garer dans le garage. Nous avons préféré nous garer dans une rue en contre bas et monter tous les jours les 200m de cotes à pied.

Nette Wohnung in guter Lage

Die Wohnung hat alles was es für einen Urlaub braucht. Die Küche ist für eine einfache Urlaubsküche ausgestattet. Es gibt keine Filterkaffemaschine, dafür einen Filter Nr. 4 und einen Wasserkocher. Ein gut sortierter Supermarkt ist in ca. 8 Gehminuten erreichbar( auch So. offen) Die Garage ist super, da kostfreier Parkplatz Mangelware ist. Die Straßen in Funchal sind oft steil, so auch zur FeWo, doch unser 65PS Automatik Aygo hat alle Steigungen problemlos geschafft. In der Bergen ist es oft regnerischener und kälter als in Funchal selbst.Der Blick von der Terrasse über die Bucht war schön.Leider gab es etwas Gerangel mit unseren Nachbarn, die an unserem etwas größeren Tisch ebenfalls die Aussicht genießen wollten.Schön wäre es auch gewesen, wenn wir zu Beginn der Reise an die Touri-Taxe erinnt worden wären und nicht 13Std. vor Abreise.Insgesamt war es ein gelungener Aufenthalt und die FeWo ist zu empfehlen.

Funchal Unterkunft

Die Ferienunterkunft hat alles was man braucht. Das Bad ist neuwertig. Die Terrasse bietet einen Blick über die Stadt auf den Hafen. Die Innenstadt ist in 5 min zuFuß zu erreichen. Das Einzige was für unseren Geschmack bequemer hätte sein können, ist das Bett (Matratze). Es gibt nur eine grosse Zudecke, wir würden uns 2 Einzeldecken wünschen. Es gibt eine Auswahl an Kissen.

Das Appartement ist toll, nur muss man mögen das es immer steil bergauf oder bergab geht um dahin zu kommen. Die Bestückung der Küche lassen nichts zu wünschen übrig. Die Aussicht ist granios und man kann zu jeder Tageszeit einfach nur auf der Terasse sitzen und die Stadt und das Meer überblicken.
