Old, ugly, uncomfortable

I am surprised at the good reviews. What I can say is they gave me the money back. But it was supposed to be tempurpedic, the bed was so uncomfortable. The tv was like 13". The view was not great at all and the furniture was about 50 years old. We changed hotels.

Une adresse à retenir

Nous terminons un séjour d'une semaine dans cet apparthôtel. Nous sommes enchantés de notre choix car nous avons été reçus "royalement" par le propriétaire Joël et son fils Bruno. Ils sont plein d'attentions pour leurs clients : corbeille de fruits à l'arrivée et pain frais tous les matins derrière notre porte. Ils sont également présents pour nous conseiller sur le choix des visites en fonction de la météo. L'emplacement de la Vila Marta est idéal car central au sud de l'île (rien n'est loin : 10 minutes en voiture du centre ville de Funchal), parking devant l’hôtel gratuit et appartement donnant sur la mer. Appartement avec kitchenette bien équipée, pratique pour faire des repas sur le balcon. Si nous revenons à Madère, nous y reviendrons certainement.

He also provided us with fresh bread rolls every morning along with fresh fruit on arrival, very welcoming and the room was comfortable and spotless. Would recommend Vila Marta to anyone!

Fantastic, friendly, family-run Apartment complex

The Vila Marta is a great, small, family-run apartment complex on the edge of Funchal in Sao Martinho. The apartments are located on a quiet side-street, however the street is halfway up a steep hill (as with most places in Madeira!) and restaurants and shops are therefore a fair walk away. So, it's extremely handy to have access to a hire car if staying here. Yes, you could use the buses, but a hire car makes life a lot easier!! All the apartments have a balcony with sea views. The rooms are well equipped with a small kitchen area, good sized bathroom, and a bedroom / sitting room separated by a low dividing wall. The rooms are cleaned daily and are spotless and comfortable. The owners provide fresh bread buns every morning to your door which are included in the cost. The local Continente supermarket, a five minute drive away, provides everything else you may need. Bruno and his father are great guys - very helpful and will check the weather for you everyday to make sure that you head to the best part of the island. Nothing is too much trouble for either of them, and you really do feel a part of the family.

The best service. The best!

4 days on Madeira in late Jan. of 16. Service started before I got out of my car. Owner ,(Joel) is a gentleman & knows how to fill any need any time.If Joel is away, son Bruno is there. Another gentleman; shows you what (you) want to see & how to get there. An island map is provided. Suggested what I might want to do each day. Father or son check current & forecasted weather on the part(s) of the island I may want to visit. A best route is discussed. Then, enter some locations in Google Maps & go. (Compare this service to getting your dinner menu at a fine restaurant & having the owner come help you pic which special is best for you. Every day!) 8 minute walk to small market or do laundry. They will send it out for you. If you want to eat in an amazing restaurant; just tell Joel or Bruno a time. The restaurant staff pick you up & bring you back; free. It is close & affordable. Be hungry. Solo trip to the Azores and Madeira for adventure. Villa Marta and Madeira are on my "visit twice list". My wife will accompany me on return trip to relax. We will stay at "Joel's place". PS: Thanks again for Madrira wine lessons...

Great hotel, Amazing price

What can we say about Bruno? This hotel was such a unique experience. Bruno took amazing care of us. On the first day he even drove us to Funchal, pointing out many places of interest, bus stops and great places to eat. The service at this hotel is truly unlike any other. You feel completely supported by Bruno who ensures that you get the most out of your stay. The complimentary bread rolls in the morning and the madeira cake gift were above and beyond what we expected. The hotel is also in a great location, the bus stop to Funchal is just around the corner and takes only 20 minutes. The area also has quite a few nice places to eat and a great supermarket around the corner for all those who are planning on making the most out of the self catered apartments. The view of the ocean from the balcony was also very beautiful.

Cet établissement se trouve à 3kms de Funchal il vaut mieux avoir une voiture ( inutile de passer par un loueur de grande agence Bruno le propriétaire s'en occupe avant votre arrivée si vous le souhaitez, de plus pour visiter il est presque nécessaire d'avoir une voiture même si la conduite est un peu "mouvementée"avec ses montées et descentes) mais l'intérêt est de pouvoir garer la voiture dans la rue, le quartier est tranquille et surtout les patrons (père et fils) sont d'un accueil extraordinaire qui vous donne de précieux conseils et vous guide tout au long de votre séjour. L'établissement est fait de 8 studios et une suite (pas de restauration mais le pain frais est livré tous les matins) d'une propreté impeccable avec une literie trés confortable. Très très bonne adresse sur madére nous le recommanderons à tous nos amis

Accueil et propreté remarquables - Très bien !

Cet appartements hôtel familial est remarquablement tenu ; Joel et son fils Bruno sont forts accueillants, joignables très facilement et nous ont prodigué de nombreux conseils très utiles pour préparer nos journées de visite sur l'île. L'appartement est très correctement équipé et vous profiterez de la terrasse (avec table et chaises) s'il faut beau mais pensez à prendre quelques récipients plastiques si vous avez l'intention, comme nous, de faire des repas sur place et les conserver au réfrigérateur. Nous avons apprécié des petites choses comme les fruits offerts à l'arrivée, ou le pain distribué chaque matin. Le quartier est plutôt calme (oui, il y a bien des voitures qui montent et descendent l'avenue à 250m mais ce n'est pas non plus - à cette époque tout au moins - une grosse circulation). Nous recommandons sans hésiter cet hôtel.
