Garajau riviera, a peaceful haven overlooking the ocean near Funchal

This tranquil apartment is enormously popular. Self-contained, it forms the first floor of an immaculate, well appointed private house hovering above the ocean at Garajau only 15 minutes drive from the capital town of Funchal and 5 minutes walk from a well stocked small supermarket, an ATM, a pharmacy, buses, taxis and a few good restaurants. The open plan sitting/dining room, with well-equipped kitchen and laundry behind, has large French windows leading out to a spacious terrace offering indoor/outdoor living all year round. The two bedrooms have the same uninterrupted views south over the sea. This is an idyllic retreat where you will be warmly welcomed by the friendly and helpful owner, Tina, who speaks English and Portuguese and is a fund of knowledge on all you might want to know about the island. Repeat guests return to enjoy the comfort and superb location, grateful to be so near the charming city of Funchal and yet apart from the normal tourist zone.

Garajau was originally a sleepy fishing village named after the flocks of terns that used to nest in the area and is now one of the most fashionable residential district of Funchal. Situated along the cliffs, with spectacular ocean views south towards the Desertas islands, Garajau is centrally placed and only 15 minutes drive from Funchal, the airport, golf, sea & pool swimming and Madeira's famous gardens. On a high bluff below Garajau stands a towering statue of Christ with outstretched arms, modelled on the Christo Rei at Rio de Janeiro - viewpoint here is definitely worth a visit to watch the sun set against the backdrop of the Bay of Funchal. A new cable car descends the steep cliff to the pebble beach, newly built changing rooms and restaurant below. Further east is the coastline conservation area at Garajau, one of Europe's first underwater nature reserves, which provides a sanctuary for whales, dolphins and seals.

5/5

Garajau Riviera an unforgettable experience.

Dave and Lin ., Worcs. UK.
Review Submitted: June 09, 2008, Date of stay: May, 2008

As two well travelled "fifty somethings" it takes a heck of a lot to amaze us - but this place did !
Views to die for. First class location.Perfect amenities.
In fact everything as described on the website - and more.
The owner is helpful,caring and so considerate as to even drive us into Funchal and to local beauty spots.She also recommended many beautiful walks and her knowledge of
Madeira is inspiring. We shall certainly return and will encourage our friends to visit.
We found a superb restaurant in Garajau main street called "Figos " where my wife said the food was the best that she had tasted anywhere in Europe. I have to agree. It was outstanding ! The service and atmosphere first class - pay it a visit . So go to Madeira,stay at the Garajau Riviera Apartment,eat at Figos Restaurant in Garajau,have lots of fabulous healthy walks and drink in the spectacular scenery - because we certainly will !

Owner's response:
