Perfection.

What you see is what you get. 3 weeks we stayed. Safe, clean, and great walking location. We rented a car for 1 week and it was safe in the garage below the unit. The only thing that could have made it better was some afternoon-evening AC.

Rose Marie was a great host. Greeted us on arrival. Very thoughtful, provided essentials for our stay. Provided us with information about the local area and the bus system. Beautiful well stocked condo, very convenient location. Ocean view from the balcony. Close to Funchal and all amenities for a great stay in Madeira.

I think we didn’t use the sitting room as we were out on the balcony looking at the sea, enjoying drinks and eating - we were lucky with the weather. In the morning can get too hot on the balcony if sun strong. Plenty of space for clothes.
Complex is very well maintained. Perfect base for exploring the island. Underground car park space included if needed. Buses 2 mins walk from flat to bus stop. 3 min walk to supermarket - you are opposite Forum Madeira
There is a promenade, so you can walk to Funchal with a few diversions on to a street. Also can walk by road to Funchal - just follow the road. Not a short walk, but did on our arrival to get our bearings
Wonderful sunset spot 5 mins from flat by foot - went there a couple of times

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay in Madeira, the condo was everything we could ask for, comfort, fabulous view, great location and fully equipped. The host, Rose Marie met us at the bus stop and took us directly to the condo. She left some “welcome” items for us, which was a very lovely touch. Recommend staying here on your visit to Madeira.

We loved our stay! The condo is perfect. Also loved that the balcony had afternoon shade so we could sit out there and it was just a short walk to a gorgeous sunset. Great location. Shopping mall/grocery store right across the street. Restaurants nearby and walkable. We loved the one on the lower level next to the garage exit. Live music.

We really enjoyed staying in Rosemaries lovely apartment! We felt very welcome and were so happy that we found such a nice place.

We were so impressed with the apartment. A really good size and a great location. It had everything we needed and much more. It was lovely to sit out on the balcony for breakfast and again in the evenings. Would not hesitate to recommend and we hope to return. The only thing we would have changed is we should have booked more than 7 nights.

The property was beautiful and the view off the balcony was amazing! The location was perfect being across from the Forum and having a phenomenal amount of excellent restaurants to walk to and choose from. This location also allowed for a wonderful 35 min walk to downtown. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I will stay 2 weeks next time; a week wasn't long enough!

We spent almost three weeks at this apartment and were extremely pleased with it. The location was perfect, both for exploring Funchal (a decent walk downtown and an even better bus ride back on a direct bus route and a stop just across the street) and the entire island as it was an easy drive from here out to the freeways. The private parking is especially helpful in this regard. The Madeira Forum just across the street was a plus, especially the very good grocery store on the lower level. The apartment was spacious and well furnished, the bed was comfortable, and the shower had plenty of hot water. Wifi was good. The washing machine was a real benefit, with a very good fast cycle that many machines lack. The balcony was of course great for views anytime, and for evening cocktails and morning breakfasts when the weather allowed. Rosemarie was very responsive to our questions and provided good information and recommendations. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Our good experiences eith this property began well before we started packing. The property owner, Rosemarie, contacted us early with details as to what we might expect. She arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport and delivered us to the apartment. Rosemarie met us and and showed us details such as WIFI and shopping and dining in the immediate area. Our overall experience was wonderful such that we have booked the property for a month in 2023.

Luxury and style
Fantastic communication from host for any questions we had. Description doesn’t do the apartment justice as it’s even better! Location couldn’t be better for shops, transport and restaurants. No need for a car. Bonus is lifts in the building. Easy for bus to/from airport. Everything you could possibly need in the apartment. Most importantly is the peace and quiet. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Really enjoyable stay that felt like home
This was our first experience staying in a property rather than in a hotel and the whole process from day 1 was very enjoyable. Rose Marie and Adrian replied to all of our messages in a very prompt manner. We were looking to work from Madeira during our stay so we needed to ensure the Internet speed was fast and reliable. Rose Marie made sure to check the Internet speed for us and to change the provider just so that we were able to stay in the property and work comfortable from home.
The flat itself feels like a real ‘home’ - very clean and cosy. The location was really key to us and the location of this flat is perfect! You can easily walk, drive, run into the centre of Funchal as well as enjoy the most glorious walk into a nearby fishing village, Camara de Lobos. The flat is also 2 mins away from a really nice fitness centre and 10 mins away from a huge swimming complex. Surrounded by a multitude of restaurants and Forum Madeira (large shopping mall) just across the road from the property. Rose Marie was kind enough to help us with all of our questions as well as help us book our COVID tests for the return journey back to the UK.
We really did have a wonderful stay and we are happy to have met Rose Marie as we are looking forward to returning in the near future. Kira and Palash
