Funchal, Madeira and this property are beautiful. You will want to return.
The villa is located within 10-15 mins walk of the old town, via cobbled streets and quite a sharp walk back up the road. We found a wonderful range of cafes and restaurants and enjoyed every meal.
Everything we needed was supplied, a great kitchen and good quality furnishings. The temperature was 30c+ during our stay in October and a floor or desk fan in the living room would’ve been lovely. All 3 bedrooms had air-con which was much appreciated. We made good use of the south facing veranda with its comfy chairs and sun-loungers. Watching the ocean going traffic, including the arrival of one of the world’s largest cruise ships and Navel vessels patrolling the area, was fun.
Mirela the housekeeper was on hand to offer advice as required (taxis etc). Her kind help evicting a rogue lizard from the basement bedroom was appreciated - she even changed the bed linen (it has snuck in the bed!).
The welcome pack contained excellent fresh bread which encouraged us to find the local bakery for more - asap!
The little narrow street in front of the house can be (infrequently) noisy - from the delivery lads on their scooters or the early morning workers.
Thank you to Karen and Mirela, for your thoughtfulness and considerations.

Absolutely fabulous!!
Everything about this rental is fantastic. It is in a great location, it's a really terrific house, very responsive, owner, and wonderful housekeeper who was really helpful. We were walking distance from everything. We rented a car and we could keep it in the garage. We used in the car for excursions. Two different hiking locations and sights around the island. We had so much fun! Best rental ever!

Amazing villa in spectacular old town Funchal
This is an amazing modern Villa with spectacular views and facilities. We were met by the housekeeper who was very helpful and welcoming, with lots of local knowledge. The villa is much more spacious than it looks on the listing and is immaculately clean and well stocked. The Coffee machine such a bonus and we also enjoyed a BBQ on the terrace one evening. The location was amazing and very close to waterfront and in the old town where the best cafes and restaurants are, but also a little set back from the business and noise so was nice and quiet. Parking was easy as we had hired a car and a perfect base for trips out of the city. The villa felt spacious and luxurious and sunsets on the terrace were spectacular.

Truly amazing!
This property was perfect in every way and had everything we/you could possibly need.
We had a friendly welcome at the house when we arrived direct from the airport (host provided contact details of reliable driver who met us there), and there were thoughtful provisions supplied so we wouldn't go without when we got there. Our questions about the area were answered and there was a great deal of helpful information and advice available in a folder in the house.
The spacious layout; closeness to the town centre; view across the Atlantic; cleanliness of the house, and range of quality equipment all deserve a special mention - and no, I haven't been paid to write this...it really is near perfect!
There was plenty room for us all to relax on the patio, enjoy BBQs, eat round the table either inside or out, and relax in the comfortable lounge area.
Karen and Michael obviously really care about their property and are such lovely hosts - we were delighted to have stayed there.

Amazing stay in Funchal!
The location of property was great, short walk to the lively streets of Old Town Funchal and the view from balconies was beautiful. This villa was so well equipped for cooking, beds were comfy and the villa had lots of space. Karen was always quick with response to questions, Mirela was attentive to our needs, making she we had all we needed and villa was very clean. Karen arranged transfer from airport to villa with Rafael and we couldn’t have been happier with his service. We were able to tour the island and get to hikes thanks to him. He was happy to share the passion he has for his island. Overall, this is the best vacation rental we have stayed at and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Funchal. Thank you Karen & Mike!!!
