About this property

A spacious one bedroom apartment with gym, infinity pool, sea views, WiFi

Situated just 4km outside of Funchal town centre, it is perfectly located for eating out, shopping, and sight seeing. Alternatively, relax by the infinity pool and admire the breath taking views over the Atlantic Ocean and Praia Formosa beach with its walkway to Camara De Lobos.

This modern second floor apartment is fully furnished, bright and airy, and comes with access to a fully equipped gymnasium, jacuzzi, and outdoor pool area. It has its own parking space, lift access, and west facing balconies off both the living room and bedroom, espresso coffee machine, and WiFi internet access. An optional single bed is also available for a child.

Please note that we are now part of the “Clean & Safe” accreditation from Tourismo de Portugal.

Vila Formosa gains its name from the beach below, Praia Formosa, which is the main beach of Funchal. The apartment has steps (many!) down to the beach where you will find three great cafes and open air restaurants and a 2km walkway (on stilts in the sea) to the fishing village of Camara De Lobos (also with great cafes and restaurants).

We truly enjoyed our stay with breathtaking views of Formosa Beach overlooking the beautiful infinity pool.Good proximity to grocery essentials as we did some of our own cooking. Apt is positioned down a steep driveway and several flights of stairs to navigate coming and going. The big disappointment was the nonfunctioning hot tub that we were looking forward to using. All in all a great stay and highly recommend.

It was a relatively large, very well provisioned apartment with a great parkade. We were met by a rep at the entrance who showed us all necessary things - excellent contact with the host! Only deficiency was the hot tub was out of service (and by the appearance, has been for quite some time). Excellent stay and would recommend!

Super location. Comfortable flat with great views. Liked the high ceilings, so felt roomy. The building foyer is spotless with cleaners spotted frequently. We were picked up by their recommended taxi driver who called the keyholder Fiona who met us at the property when we arrived . This lady went be above and beyond and arranged an engineer to fit an android tv box so we could log into our Netflix account as we didn’t have Apple TV. Thank you guys for a great 30 day stay.

Great location

This property is in a great location. A great grocery store about 5 minute walk away and a great number of restaurants within a 10 to 15 minute walk. The promenade walkway is a short 5 minute walk to access but it is quite a few stairs and is a steep incline. Albeit most things are in Madeira. Overall a wonderful stay.

Frankly the best holiday we have ever gone on. Apartment was in a perfect location and was well equipped, spotless and with the most incredible views we’ve ever seen. The island itself was loaded with great food, great people and great weather. We’d come back in an instant. Thanks to our hostess.

The most spectacular sunsets ever!

We loved the location, approx 3 km from Funchal and a wonderful walkway west to a quaint fishing village Camaro de Lobos with cafes along the way. The unit was well stocked and comfortable decks overlooking the beautiful Atlantic captured are attention every night with breathtaking sunsets. The pool was very refreshing after a day of exploring.the beautiful island.

Nice apartment in Madeira

We really enjoyed our stay at Vila Formosa. It is in a great location, close to many restaurants and shopping. A short bus ride to Old Town Funchal. The apartment is is well equipped and spacious. The beach is nearby and has a nice promenade to wander along. Our host ,Natasha, also arranged transportation for us from the airport to the apartment. We would definitely return.

The apartment was exceptionally clean, very comfortable and was in a great location with lovely view

We were greeted when we arrived, shown the apartment and provided with all info and keys needed. The apartment has great sea views and a lovely pool and just a couple of minutes walk to the beach and a lovely walk into the City Centre. It is very close to shops, bars and restaurants and the Island is stunning. We would definately return and highly recommend Villa Formosa. There is a bus stop right outside and great coffee shop across the road. The people of Madeira are charming.

The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The store was a short walk away. The bus can be easily accessed. Only downer was the construction work taking place between the condo and ocean front. They work long hours. But the weather was beautiful the whole time we were there. The people are nice and there's lots to do.

We had a fantastic stay in Natasha's apartment in Villa Formosa. A very nice place. Everything was present in the apartment. It was also lovely outside by the pool. And the view is really beautiful. The only thing unfortunate was that the sofa in the living room was not a sofa bed. (for people who want to sleep separately) But again, a wonderful apartment.

Great Experience

The property is located in a quieter part of Lido but is close to two large supermarkets, many restaurants, and local spots. The sunset from the balcony is priceless. These aspects are probably similar to other reviews of this property, but for us, the most important thing was that we felt at home. Everything—from the warm welcome to the cleanliness of the house to the well-equipped kitchen—was just perfect.Thank you, Fiona and Natasha, for everything. See you next year! :)

Awesome location.

Very friendly owners, nice location. Everything is easily reachable via bus. It was a very pleasant stay, everything was clean and in pretty good shape. For the price definitely one of the best apartments. The view is awesome! Pool is nice at the end of the day. Sadly the whirlpool is shut down at approx. 8pm and over the course of the day gull of children. Therefore not really usable to chill at the end of a day. But other than that, I would always recommend this apartment!
