Madeira triumph
Review Submitted: November 9, 2008
Date of Stay: October 2008
The best feature is the location, which is perfect if you like to be near the sea, walk into the centre of Funchal, and yet remain in a lovely residential neighbourhood, full of local colour and friendly faces...no hotels or comercial noises around! The other big surprise was just how beautiful this house is, the Bay flat has been very well restored, we had all the modern comforts and decor, set in a colonial villa over a hundred years old. The rooms are huge but all have charm and warmth, we really felt at home. Property was clean, everything working and quite new, we had a friendly welcome at the airport, english speaking lady that gave us lots of useful tips. Our favourite place of the Bay View is the veranda, here we could sunbathe, barbecue, eat meals and enjoy the views. There is also a stair that leads directly to the pool which is very large. My only negative comment would be the locals driving in Madeira roads which gave us many frights, but apart from this we fell in love with the island and plan to return at least once a year to our Bay view.
