Great apartment, friendly contact
Everything was a good fit. The location of the apartment was just right for us. Directly at the promenade, with ample shopping opportunities and in walking distance to Funchal center. The bus stop was directly at the building. The apartment itself was spacious as advertised. We had a very easy time with 5 people and enjoyed the big living room. Contact with the owner was a breeze. If we had a question or request, everything went smoothly. Absolutely recommended!

Fantastic location to the beach
We have been to Funchal on previous trips to Madeira, so we booked this apartment to be close to the beach, above the pools at Doca Do Cavacas. This location is great, also close to some restaurants and a small grocery store for essentials, in the same location. The rooms in the apartment are large, and the bathrooms are new and clean. There are plenty of towels and sheets, but bring your own bath soap, etc. We appreciated having 3 sets of keys and underground parking. There isn't air-conditioning, but we kept windows and balcony doors open for good cross-ventilation. We noticed the hardwood floors were not clean when we arrived (our bare feet were always dirty), and there was a communication barrier when we needed a friend to translate for us for the agreed-to check-in meeting. And I feel obligated to mention a safety issue. Beware that the door handles to the balconies are one-sided, that is, when you are out on the balcony, do not close the balcony door because the handle is ONLY on the inside of the apartment. There is no way to get inside if there isn't someone to let you in. Friends of ours in another unit were locked outside on their balcony for over an hour when their other occupants were out for dinner. This situation would be a building code violation in the U.S. I offer this as a caution to future renters. Overall, we liked this apartment, and would stay again.

Lovely apartment
The apartment was as described, nice and spacious with a good view of the sea. Location is great in terms of convenience, very close to shops and the local beach. Communication with the owner was good, our kettle turned out to be broken and we messaged them and they brought a new one same day. We had a problem checking in only because the contact number was not working for us, in the end we found it worked if you added 003 at the start of the number, this may have been in the information sent to us but we couldn't find it at the time. Once the call went through they came over very quickly to let us in. Unfortunately one thing that disturbed our stay was that the upstairs neighbours are loud, they get up early (5am) and have the TV on late, chairs scrape on their floors, this would be fine except for you can hear everything coming through the ceiling. The road noise is also loud if you are in the bedrooms that are next to the road. For this reason if you are noise sensitive or a light sleeper I would recommend bringing earplugs. This is not the hosts fault, we just found it a bit noisy for us personally. Other than that, a lovely stay in a nice apartment with helpful hosts.

This condo/department was perfect!
The apartment was beautiful, two couples stayed perfectly. The area was very nice, away from tourist. But very easy to get anywhere you want. Bus stop right in front of the building. There’s a lot of hills! But there’s a walk down the steps through a tunnel and beautiful rock beaches several restaurants close by.

Well worth a stay
The apartment was clean and very spacious. plenty of room for myself, my wife and our two adult children and their partners. Easy access to Funchal by bus The No 2 stops right outside and is less than 10 minutes to the center of Funchal. The yellow hop on hop off bus also stops right outside the apartment. The apartment is on the 4tf floor with a lovely sea view and mountain view and has two lifts that work as they should. There is also a parking space in the basement and plenty of parking outside. Its only 5 minutes walk to the forum shopping centre, and also a short walking distance to nice restaurants. The reason I gave communication 4 out of 5 stars, is because I sent a text message saying we needed teaspoons and never got a reply, the next morning I purchased some spoons and when I returned to the apartment there was a bag with spoons tied to the door. If I got a reply I wouldn't have purchased more. other than that, I think the apartment was fantastic and I can highly recommend staying there. On a final note, It was excellent value for money.

Amazing place and great location
We came here for a family vacation. The flat was amazing, clean and in a great location with wonderful views. There was nearby access to the ocean, supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants. Also, easy access to coastal walking and downtown. We would definitely stay here again the next time in Madeira. Also, Nelson was very helpful, and even helped us with a car battery issue.

Best Location and, great apartment
Apartment was in great location, Mall, supermarket,restuarants, views, sunset views, natural pools. Had to let owner know to raise the hotel waster Temp. because it was just luke warm. Big issue was the stench of urin in master bedroom and one other bedroom. The prior guests must have pee in bed. If that is fixed we would stay again for sure. Use the hello bus and not the Red bus if you going to do Funchel tour. More busses and come right to Apartment

Great Base to Explore Madeira
We recently stayed at Joe and Nelson's apartment in Sao Martinhao. I echo what other reviewers say: huge apartment, beautiful western facing view, large balcony, well-appointed kitchen, comfy beds, #4 bus to Funchal and aeroport shuttle at the front door, and a 5-7 minute walk to the Forum shopping centre and Pingo Doce. We did not have a rental car but if we did, they have underground parking. The Wifi was strong and they even have a TV package that has channels in various languages. This was especially appreciated in the evening after spending all day exploring Madeira. While the decor is basic and a bit old fashioned, the apartment itself is high quality. One side (master bedroom & living area) faces the ocean, the other side faces the street. Noise was minimal at night although in one of the rooms, you could hear the upstairs neighbour talking on the phone. Shoutout to Joe and Nelson who helped us communicate with the airline when our luggage did not arrive. Once it was located, they were super helpful in ensuring it got to the right place and even followed up to see if we were ok. Thank you! For the size and location of this property, I think it offers great value and a wonderful base from which to explore this beautiful island!

Amazing View!
We spent just over six weeks at this apartment and enjoyed our stay. The view from the huge, main balcony is stunning both day and night and was ideal for BBQ’s. The balcony at the front is sunny and has a lovely side view of the sea. The apartment itself is huge and the beds are comfortable. The main kitchen appliances were up to date and efficient. The location is superb with lots of excellent restaurants very close by. The supermarket in the complex was well stocked and reasonably priced and at the Forum the Pingo Doce supermarket is enormous and has everything you might need. Unfortunately the tunnel to the Formosa beach was closed but we enjoyed the walk in the other direction to the Lido. Despite the restrictions of COVID we really enjoyed our stay and felt very safe. Mask wearing was enforced in all indoor areas and buses and the majority of people wore them outside too.

Spent seven fabulous days at this outstanding apartment. We greeted by very helpful and attentive host. In the apartment everything was spotless and fully equipped with lovely fresh towels. Rock pools within walking distance was great and supermarket forum just up the road meant the location with easy accessibility to amenities and activities was possible. Thank you for a great stay.

Excellent place to stay, I could look at the view forever!
Joe & his brother Nelson are excellent hosts. The apartment is roomy and a perfect place for me, my brother and sister, each with our own bedroom (I got the ensuite!). The kitchen is well equipped and balconies on either side provided shade and sun (weather permitting) as required. Excellent transport links into Funchal via the bus stop right outside, and the shopping area in the centre has a supermarket ideal for most items when we don't want to make the 10 minute hike up to the Forum where there is a large supermarket. Varied restaurants within a 2 minute walk are ideal to suit any palate. All in all a perfect location for a Xmas / New Year break. Wish we could stay longer!
