Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Funchal, Portugal

Golf: Madeira's two beautiful international level golf courses are both less than half an hour's drive from the apartment and are well worth exploring. Palheiro Golf: On this 18-hole course, set out over 6086 metres, there is a breathtaking view over the bay of Funchal, and a natural setting which includes a garden with over twenty endemic species of Madeira (including the Laurel) classified by UNESCO as World Natural Heritage. Santo da Serra: The sea and mountain views from the course of Santo da Serra Golf Club make it one of the most spectacular in Europe. The 9003 metres of the 27-hole course make up the ideal green for beginners and professionals alike, which explains why Santo da Serra Golf is host to the Madeira Open.

Levadas: The network of levadas is only a bus ride or taxi journey away. Levadas are water courses running round the mountains and were built by the first settlers to carry water to inaccessible farmland. Today they are one of Madeira’s greatest tourist attractions. Madeira has a fantastic network of trails and levadas. There are more than 200 levadas crisscrossing the island’s basalt rock masses, taking hikers into a rare natural world. Along these irrigation channels you will come across species of fauna and flora found hardly anywhere else in the world, in Madeira’s traditional Laurissilva Forest, which has been declared a World Natural Heritage Site.

Eating Out & Entertainment: In the heart of Funchal's restaurant zone and close to all the amenities, this apartment is your perfect base to explore and indulge. You only have to cross the road to experience the world famous High Tea on the terrace at the Reid's Palace Hotel.

Other Activities: Levada Walks, Whale Watching, Deep-sea fishing, Helicopter Excursions, Casino, Afternoon Tea at the famous Reid's Palace Hotel

Amazing Views......

Funchalhero Cardiff
Review Submitted: August 7, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My girlfriend and I stayed here in July 2009 and we absolutley loved the views across the harbour. The big windows in both the lounge and the bedroom give you a real panaromic view and we loved falling asleep looking out at the twinkling lights across the bay.

The owners were really helpful and met us on arrival and gave us a full tour of the building and the appartment. At night, the building was as quiet as a mouse making it very easy to fall asleep.

On the ground floor of the building is a bakery and we could smell the freshly baked bread wafting up every morning.

Best of all, it's not a "holiday" appartment filled with lots of families and screaming kids but a residential appartment filled with the locals. So you really feel like you are abroad and not in Blackpool!

Lastly, the pool was rarely frequented by anyone and so we often had it to ourselves.

All in all, if you're after a clean, quiet, well equipped appartment in central Funachal with fantastic views, this is the one for you.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you in Madeira again soon.

Fabulous Funchal

henners Jersey, Channel Islands
Review Submitted: August 29, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Aug 2009 for one week

Apartment: On entering you are met by spectacular views of Funchal Harbour & surrounding hills. At night the view is transformed into a vista of twinkling lights - nice to sleep with the large picture windows open - the breeze is welcome on warm evenings as the apartment does not feature air conditioning. Very well appointed - far more so than most self-catering accommodation & there really is no need to take anything with you other than beach towels.

Area: The apartment is well located (opposite Reids Hotel) & a large selection of shops & restaurants are all within walkable distance. Beneath the apartment is a bakery/coffee shop, ice cream parlour, 2 minimarkets & cashpoint. Recommend shopping at the local "Pinga Doce" supermarket (opposite the Lido) as prices are noticeably cheaper.

In general: We intended to hire a car for 2 days but didn't need to in the end. There are some fairly steep hills to navigate so wear sensible shoes - Ladies, heels are definitely out unless you plan on taking a bus or taxi everywhere. Not really a suitable holiday for young children in pushchairs, the wheelchair bound, or those with limited walking abilities. The restaurants in Funchal old town tend to offer better value for money & authentic charm than some of the more modern establishments. There are plenty of timeshare touts about so be prepared to be firm & decline the offer of a 90 minute introduction session!

Recommended: Tokos Restaurant - leave the building & turn right up the hill. About 300 yds on the left. Eccentric owner/chef but exquisite food & a delightful experience. Not cheap but worth every Euro.
The Lido - leave the building & turn right up the slight hill. Walk past Reids Hotel & turn left at Bus Stop. Down the steep hill about 200 yds. Fabulous safe sea swimming. Flip flops are a must as the tiles get very hot. Take a picnic as the cafe can work out expensive. About a 15 min walk. €10 gains entry for two, plus two sunbeds plus a parasol for the day.
Tour of West of the Island incl lunch - fabulous views. Try for a minibus tour as opposed to a coach.
Cable cars up to Monte - touristy but an absolute must, worth it for the views of the town. Toboggans fun to watch, but not much of a ride for your money
Reids Hotel for afternoon tea - expensive, but just one of those things you should do in your lifetime!

Thanks to Robin! Everything went very smoothly - even the 5am taxi transfer.

Spectacular view and perfect position.

Burnley fan Peterborough
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This was our first trip to Madeira and was a special birthday trip, as it was somewhere I have always wanted to visit. Funchal lived up to all expectations.
The apartment is exactly as it says on the tin. It is ideally situated for walking into town and along to the old town, or in the opposite direction to the Lido.
The aroma of newly baked bread, coming up from the bakery below, when getting up in the morning is enticing to say the least. And their cakes are to die for!
The views from the apartment are truly fantastic. You are much closer to the bay below than the photograph indicates.
There are lots of restaurants close by, and really regular bus services from the road immediately below the apartment if you choose to eat further afield.
We would certainly visit Madeira again and would have no hesitation in booking this apartment to stay in.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your comments. Photographs never tell the real story. I am glad that in this case the real story is indeed BETTER than the photos... I look forward to hearing from you again. Best wishes,
Robin

Escape to Madeira after New Year

Rydal Tyne and Wear, UK
Review Submitted: January 27, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
This apartment is in an excellent position overlooking the harbour at Funchal. It is very convenient, being within walking distance of many restaurants and on the bus route into the centre of Funchal. As my husband has walking difficulties, the apartment was very suitable as there was a lift to the fifth floor and no stairs within the apartment. Supermarkets, Car Hire and Bakery on the ground floor of the apartment block but for more reasonably priced food go to the Hypermarket at Madeira Forum - 4 bus-stops away. Swimming pool very cold - not recommended in January! Overall, we had a super break and all the Christmas lights were still up for most of the time which gave fantastic evening views from the apartment, Robin was very helpful when we arrived, arranging a taxi pick-up at the airport and then organising our return journey. Some of the fittings and fixtures could do with some up-dating which Robin is aware of eg. broken window, bathroom lights, drainage from kitchen sink. We would return to the apartment if we visited Madeira again ( when the £ and Euro are a better rate - currently it is an expensive holiday)
Owner's Response: Thank you for your balanced review. It will be our pleasure to see you back in Madeira. It is good you recognise the suitalility of the apartment for people with walking difficulties - the apartment is in one of the most level areas of Funchal! For visitors who wish to swim in Madeira in the winter, it is recommended to visit the Lido complex (right next to a large supermarket less than 4 stops away) where you can swim in the ocean, or in pools filled daily with sea water and usually about 2 degrees warmer than the air temperature. With regard to the items that need attention, the bathroom lamp shades (the lights themselves are not broken) have finally arrived on order and will be installed at the changeover of guests on Monday 2/2. The window is not broken but merely one pane of the double glazed window is cracked (the outside pane) and this is stable and of no danger to anyone. The sink and other items on the list you kindly left have all already been attended to. Once again, thank you for your constructive comments; they help us to make the apartment more comfortable for future visitors. Robin

Simply the best!

Cardiff Jet Setter Cardiff
Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We spent a wonderful 3 weeks here in December including Christmas....

The location is quite simply amazing, we've been back and forth to Madeira for the last ten years and this apartment beats a Hotel anytime.

The views are quite simply awesome. We had the dubious pleasure of some very dodgy weather over Christmas, but just watching the clouds and the rain coming in from the sea over the bay and into the mountains was quite spectacular and we took some superb photographs from here.

The apartment itself is nicely appointed and situated within a prestigious building opposite Reids and is just a short walk down to Funchal. There are plenty of little shops and a bakery on the doorstep.

We would heartily recomend this condo. to any prospective holidaymaker.

Also a big thanks to Robin for his exceptional communication and organisational skills. Although we never met him, he was only a text message or a phone call away and was extremely helpful and friendly.
Owner's Response: Thank you very much for your great review. Yes, the weather was not the greatest over Christmas - in the four days around Christmas, we had over a third of our average rainfall for the entire year, which must bode well for the rest of the year to be not too wet!!! I am glad that you are regular visitors to Madeira and you are always welcome back to our apartment.
