About this apartment rental

Luz do Sol is a self catering apartment, with a Tourist Licence, in the sunny village of Garajau, between Canico and Funchal. It commands superb ocean views over lush, mature gardens and is ideal for a couple seeking a relaxing holiday with or without a car. Located in a secure, private complex with lifts, Luz do Sol enjoys the benefits of a large garden, sunbathing terrace and a 15m oval pool, whilst having direct access to all the facilities of the village, buses and taxis. Within a short, easy walk from the apartment you can hire a car, dine in quality restaurants, buy excellent take-away meals or just have a drink in one of the friendly cafes. Freshly baked bread, vegetables and fruit, morning papers, general supplies and banking facilities are all at your doorstep. A short stroll or a cable car ride takes you to Garajau's secluded beach where you can dip your toes in the warm Atlantic Ocean.

The rental price includes the provision of all utilities, the supply of bed linen and towels, all apartment cleaning and our payment of Madeira's Ecotax ( a local tourist tax which is currently 28 euros for a week's holiday for 2 adults).

Levada and Mountain Walking: Madeira's centre consists of rugged mountain peaks rising to a mile above sea level. These give way to forests of juniper, pine, eucalyptus, mimosa and laurel as you descend towards the sea. The dry lower slopes are used for farming, mainly vegetables for the table, but areas are also devoted to the cultivation of vines (for the famous Madeira Wine), sugar cane, chestnuts and bananas. Irrigation of the farming areas is provided by a network of water channels (levadas) radiating from the mountains. This unique irrigation system offers walkers an unrivalled experience in that, besides having breathtaking and exhilarating mountain and coastal trails to explore, they can walk along beside these levadas from village to village and gain a deep insight into the lives and culture of the Madeiran people.

Eating Out and Entertainment: Garajau has several good restaurants offering local and international cuisine and a wide range of take-away food is also available, all these within a short walking distance of the apartment. Some restaurants further afield will even lay on transport from your doorstep. A memorable evening can be had by taking the cable car down to Garajau beach and eating delicious seafood under the stars at the oceanside restaurant. Music and dancing are available nightly in the hotels of nearby Canico de Baixo. Funchal, a fifteen minute bus ride away, offers a very wide range of restaurants, a casino, theatre and many open air events throughout the year to keep you entertained.

Not exactly a holiday resort and should be advised that a car is necessary to get around, even locally. Very hilly and not much to do in local area. Agent on site, Brian, was very helpful and always in contact.

Very good place to stay, the apartment it’s situated near Funchal (aprox. 15 min driving), clean, big and has a lot of facilities next to it such as supermarket, pharmacy, rent a car agency etc. Our host Steve and Barbara are great, easy to communicate with, also Brian who presented the apartment and assisted us for our whole stay in Garajau. I would recommend this stay for sure. I would suggest to be added a modern coffee machine and an AC.

We stayed about a week and everything was absolutely great. I think this is one of the best equipped apartments I have ever stayed in, the kitchen has everything, pots, pans, a microwave, even a dishwasher. There were some books to read and a quite nice dvd collection that we enjoyed a few evenings. The communication with the host and their representatives was flawless and very helpful, the even hat recommendations for actually happening events in the area. We really enjoyed our time in this apartment and would definitely recommend it to everyone looking for a nice and hassle free place in Madeira!

Very good location, no noise from the street, but we could hear the neighbours shouting late at night. The apartment is spotless clean, but needs some reparations, especially the shower. The bed is only 140cm wide and wouldnt say it’s comfortable. Many many dishes in the kitchen, also some salt and pepper, but no oil and also no soap in the bathroom. The owner was amazingly helpfull and gave us a lot of useful information and organized the taxi for us. The assistant Brian was waiting for us even we came in the middle of the night and was also ready to respond to our requests. If you are not looking for a stylish and luxury apartment, this is very good deal which meets the price. Thank you!
