The location of the property is perfect, near the grocery shop and bar, very short distance to bus stop.
Flat is very spacious, very tidy with beautiful view to the mountains. Well equipped kitchen compartment and big bathroom. Our Host was very welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this place!
We definitely visit this place again!

Great directions from the owners. Very central, and was nice to have a shower and comfy bed to break up our trans island hiking/camping trip. Glad it had a kitchen as all the local restaurants were closed in the evening! Fortunately the local grocery store was open til 8pm
Not a fault with the accommodation but be aware local restaurants may not be open for dinner!

The apartment was extremely comfortable, much bigger than I expected. The views are out of this world, and there is a large balcony to enjoy them.
The location of the apartment is very well situated amongst some shops and restaurants - perfect to soak up the local atmosphere. You’re also very well located to get to other parts of the island, you can be in the heart of Funchal in 20 minutes.
Everywhere was spotlessly clean, the bed is extremely comfortable and you have everything you need in one place.
There are plenty of utensils, cooking instruments etc in the kitchen if you want to stay in and enjoy the apartment, including a large fridge freezer!
As the apartment is in a valley I had trepidations of the drive down into the valley but the drive is actually extremely easy and the roads are very well done (on most of the island in fact).
It’s very modern and I felt right at home. Communication with the host was effortless, check in was seamless and I would 110% stay here again!
Nothing!!

The apartment was just amazing. Amazing location, equipment, views. The owner was super friendly and helpful. Gave us good tips of where to go. It is a few steps from the local shop, restaurants and bus stop. For the coffee enthusiasts there was a coffee machine with capsules as well! We fell in love with the bedroom as from there were spectacular views and it itself was cosy. There is also a washing machine which came in handy.
Despite our satisfaction and enthusiasm with our stay, there is a thing I can't leave out. When we arrived, there was 11 degrees in the apartment! It was horibly cold. However, there are two heaters so we managed to heat the bedroom. So I definitely reccomend to take warm clothes when visiting in winter or ask the owner if they could pre heat at least the bedroom.

Clean and spacious apartment. Comfortable bed. Washing machine. Lovely view from balcony.
Balcony was a side view but you could still see the mountains. Another apartment had a front and side view but may have been bigger. But if that's important to you you need the front facing apartment but to be honest it's a lovely view at the side as well.

Location is unreal, very clean
The apartments have different views from their balconies with one having a far less obstructing view of the valley - just wish this was specified

This is just the perfect apartment. It's clean, pretty, and in a good location, there is everything you need inside if you looking for self-catering place. Groceries and restaurants nearby.

Apartment is in the centre of the main village in the valley. Quiet location because nothing much is going on after dark. Fully equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom and comfortable beds.
Only partially good views from the small balcony because the apartment is at the back of the building. The second apartment has a bigger balcony and better views.

Balcony, location in middle of village
Apartment is quite dark and not so cosy. All restaurants in the village close early (6-8pm).

Very nice village. Great location for mountain hikes. We spent just one night, but tried local restaurant, shop and a cafeteria. The next day after our check-out we did a short walk to Eira do Serrado. Because we didn't want to left our car on the street with all of our baggage during our trip, we could even park in the owners garage. Owners are very nice and the communication was easy. We definitely recommend the stay.
I would appreciate a kettle, thus i'm a tea drinker :)

The accommodation (2 bedroom Cherry apartment) is clean, tidy and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for self catering. The bathroom is very clean with plenty of hot water for the shower or bath. Good free WiFi throughout the apartment. There's a nice balcony with table, chairs and sun shade which is ideal for breakfast or just relaxing and taking in the spectacular views of the valley. Communication with the host for check-in and check-out is very good. The location is ideal being in the centre of the village with a well stocked small convenience store and restaurants a short distance away. There is a cafe below the apartment that sells fresh bread in the morning for breakfast and can provide lovely fresh sandwiches to takeaway, ideal for a day exploring the surrounding area. The bus stop to and from Funchal is close to the accommodation and the buses are regular. This is a great area if you are active and like exploring but being in the mountains there are lots of hills. The village is lively in the day with lots of day tourists but then quiets down in the evenings.
I found it a little warm and uncomfortable at night in bed, possibly due to the covering on the mattress? The actual rooms throughout the apartment are an ideal temperature and air conditioning is not necessary with the cooler mountain climate.

Everything was perfect. Manuel was punctual, kind. he gave us a lot of recommendations about trekking trails and other activities around. The apartment was fully equipped with all nescessary things and was super tidy and cozy. Emanuel speaks perfect english. We totally recommend :)
Nothing at all.

8.0 / 10.0
The location and the view are amazing... perfect if you want to hike or run around Curral das Freiras. The apartment is perfect for a family. The hosts were helpful.
Don't expect to sleep late on Sundays! Not only you get bells ringing at 8AM but the whole Mass happens using a sound-system for the whole village (or is it designed to be heard up to Funchal???) for one hour and a half. Hard luck!
