This old town penthouse in Funchal truly has everything. It's location is superb, the views are incredible from the balcony, and the comfort of the home makes it one of the nicest homes I've stayed at on my travels. Elsa is a wonderful host that was very easy to communicate with, and the check in process was as simple as could be. I highly recommend staying here if you're going to Funchal! We will definitely be coming here again in the future.

Beautiful sea views from the balcony and mountains from the bedroom. We loved our stay in this well equipped apartment - perfect location for dining in the old town with restaurants just a few footsteps away. And the cable car to the botanical gardens and Monte Palace tropical gardens a five minute walk. We stayed seven days but wish we’d booked for 10 as there are so many places to explore on this beautiful island full of friendly welcoming people. Our only regret is not taking the tobaggan ride on the traditional basket sledges!

A super location with very good facilities and a great view from the balcony. The flat was clean and comfortable. Our host Elsa was very helpful, reliable and friendly and gave us tips for local restaurants and activities on arrival. We would be pleased to tell our friends an family about the property. Would love to return.We particularly loved the views.

Fantastic apartment in Down-town

This apartment is very well located: nice eastern site of Funchal, close to the water, down-town, balcony with fantastic view, enough space for 2 persons with all equipment you need. Parking is only possible in a garage 5 min away for the total day 10 €. During the week it is calm, Fr/Sat. music from the street could be a topic. But you're not booking down-town for relaxing!

This rooftop apartment has a lovely welcoming feel to it and is in a fantastic location just outside of the 'Old Town' . Although its not very modern it is very well equipped with kitchen appliances and lounge furniture and we certainly had all we needed for our recent stay. The accommodation is across the road from a lido complex which is usually open until 8pm. Next door is a small bar frequented by locals and visitors alike and which is very popular at weekends - noise level was quite high on the Friday but not a problem for us. The apartment is in walking distance of a huge number of restaurants. In our opinion an ideal location for those who want to do their own thing.

Arrived to find we were relocated

Unfortunately we cannot comment as we were relocated upon arrival in Medeira. The host relocated us which was a big surprise as we were not advised with no explanation. It was not the Old World Charm we were looking for and we’re disappointed, but it turned out quite nice. Just felt that better communications could have taken place. Bob

Lovely place to stay

The apartment is situated in a great area overlooking the ocean. Great views. It is very comfortable and convenient for many restaurants. Inside plenty of seating for 2 and 4 at a push. Kitchen has all that is needed to make a meal to allow you to self cater if you want to. The balcony is great to sit out to eat, drink or just watch the activity at the cafe down below. The downside of the cafe is the noise of staff clearing up at the end of the day and Friday night music , which may suit younger people!! Saying that it didn't bother us too much as just closed the doors. All in all we enjoyed our stay and found Elsa very helpful, especially when we locked ourselves out. Her daughter arrived within an hour to let us in.

Lovely Apartment

We had a wonderful stay in this apartment which is a couple of minutes walk from Funchal old town. It's at the eastern end of Funchal within a few minutes walk to many bars and restaurants and it's also great for Funchal sightseeing as everything is in reasonable walking distance. This apartment is in the town, so you will experience Funchal life including the normal town noises like the local dogs barking occasionally, the church bells ringing (though they do stop at 9pm), the odd bit of traffic noise and music from the local bar..... BUT it is simply the hubbub of life in a quiet part of town well away from the high rise Hotel area. We loved the flat because it is well equipped and so we could eat in if we chose, but also because there are lots of things in easy walking distance. The owner has provided lots of very helpful things to help with your stay (like maps, guides and recommendations) and the cleaning service is excellent. This was a bit like a little home away from home, but with a lovely sunny south facing balcony where we could just sit in the sun some days (even in January). We had such a wonderful stay that we will definitely return. Just a couple of points for others looking to stay at the flat... it does have a few flights of steps, so would not suit the infirm and like many streets in Madeira, there are lots of cobbles - so take some thick soled shoes :-)

Een appartement op een toplocatie

Het appartement met dit geweldige uitzicht op zee dat is toch wel een groot pluspunt. Een groot nadeel is op vrijdag en zaterdagavond de irritatie van de keiharde muziek van de discotheek die voor het appartement in de buitenlucht wordt gehouden . Op de andere avonden is er een andere irritatie dat van de blaffende honden. Het appartement is op de derde verdieping dus wel veel trappen.

Unterkunft in Top Lage mit sehr viel Charme und traumhafter Aussicht auf das Meer

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Elsa ist eine super nette und hilfsbereite Vermieterin. Sie hat uns vom Flughafen abgeholt und uns für die Wohnung und die Umgebung alles super gut erklärt - vielen Dank dafür noch einmal! Die Wohnung hat einen ganz zauberhaften Charme und sie ist gut eingerichtet. Die Aussicht aufs weite Meer von der kleinen Dachterrasse ist wunderschön. Die Lage ist perfekt um die Stadt zu Fuß zu erkunden und das Schwimmbad direkt vor der Haustüre hat uns zum Baden viel Spaß gemacht. Die Bar unten im Haus ist von Donnerstag bis Samstag sehr lebendig und auch etwas laut, hat uns aber nicht wirklich gestört, denn mit Ohrstöpsel und Türen schließen konnten wir trotzdem sehr gut schlafen. Die Bar hat auch ihren Vorteil, denn es gibt gutes Essen, feine Drinks und guten Kaffee. Wir würden diese Wohnung sofort wieder buchen. Ganz liebe Grüße an Elsa

Weihnachten in Funchal

Die Lage, die Terasse und die Aussicht davon ist super. Zu zweit ist die Wohnung hervorragend geeignet. Die Empore ist unserer Meinung nach nicht geeignet, da der Aufstieg bzw. Abstieg sehr beschwerlich und auch für Kinder ungeeignet ist. Die Einrichtung ist auch schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das schlimmste jedoch ist die darunter liegende Bar. Als Gast in der Bar super, jedoch als Gast der Wohnung ziemlich anstrengend, da wenn die Bar geschlossen wird, der Krach erst richtig losgeht. Natürlich mitten in der Nacht. Die Aufräumarbeiten sind auch bei geschlossenen Fenstern noch zu hören. Das ist auf Dauer ziemlich nervig und muss man wissen. Wer jedoch mit diesen Einschränkungen leben kann, bekommt eine sensationelle Lage und Aussicht geboten.

Old town Funchal great location

This apartment is in a great location for exploring Funchal and the balcony overlooking the ocean is fantastic! The apartment is just as advertised but could benefit from a bit of updating. We enjoyed our week there very much. Be aware that the upstairs loft is a very steep climb! And the bathroom is off the downstairs bedroom so it's really only suitable for two people or a family. We would recommend this property.

Gemütlichkeit und Wohlfühlen abseits von Luxus.

Sehr schönes Appartement in hervorragender Lage inmitten der Altstadt Funchals. Als Besonderheit dieses Appartments möchten wir den Balkon hervorheben . Zu jeder Zeit , ob nach Sonnenaufgang im Pyjama beim Kaffee , oder abends beim Auslaufen der Schiffe konnten wir romantisch die Seele baumeln lassen. Ein Piscine vor der Tür. All das ist Lebensgenuss pur. Abseits des Tages bleiben eine Vielzahl von interessanten Möglichkeiten von hier aus die Insel zu erleben ,ob bei einem Glas Wein in der Bar vor der Tür unter Madeirensern, oder per Bus die Insel kennen zu lernen. Wir können dieses Appartment nur weiterempfehlen. Herzlichen Dank Elsa.

Gem of a place with beautiful views - best view we've had ever I think. Fab location so glad we stayed here and not up in the Hotel Zone and it was superbly equipped and clean. We walked everywhere and had some great meals. Elsa's daughter Maria was extremely accommodating. Will definitely stay here again we still have the levadas to do but didn't have appropriate footwear. All in all a great stay. Only thing I would say is to warn people about the café/bar downstairs - not a problem for us but it was noisy on Friday and Saturday evening as the Madeirans like to party!
