Madeiran Magic
Review Submitted: October 16, 2010

Vila Formosa apartment provides all you require for a conveniently located and comfortable stay.Although on the edge of the hotel zone, the excellent and cheap bus service runs every 10 minutes from the door to the heart of Funchal. There are shops and good restaurants very close by. We found the apartment exactly as described and would certainly return. There is a beautiful pool,jacuzzi and gym, all very quiet in early October.The owner provided the best and most efficient service we have experienced within our Holiday rental experience. We were met at the airport and at the apartment both ends of our holiday. We have already recommended Vila Formosa to friends. Madeira is a beautiful island; there is none of the tackiness which you sometimes find on the costas.Eating out can be as economical or as expensive as you choose.There is no need for a car, the bus service will get you to most places. We would recommend also a tour by minibus, great fun. Walking the levadas in the mountains give you the most fantastic views but be prepared for steep climbs,drops and descents. We would heartily recommend both Madeira and Vila Formosa, there is something for everyone.
