The apartment was really nice, big, clean, it had everything that I needed, even more. There were even sun loungers to lie on the terrace! It has really cozy balcony with amazing city and ocean view. Owner of the apartment Patricia is very friendly and amazing person, she supported me with everything. I’d love to come back again. If you are looking for the clean accommodation where you can rest well and close to everything it’s definitely this option, I highly recommend.

One of the best property rentals we’ve ever had in our world travels, location-luxury-cleanliness-modern interior. Kitchen appliances & items pristine condition. Linens & towels fresh smelling not moldy/used. Site photos accurate. Not a typical rental, rather a luxury home. Quiet peaceful area, 8mins from the airport especially if early morning flight next day, stayed 5days, however didn’t notice planes through any nights & had our best sleeps. Black out drapes, firm comfy beds. 5min walk to Supermercado complete grocery with butcher/seafood counter, great cafe inside. Few restaurants, lounge bar within walking distance although quite steep hills which we found typical in all of Madeira so would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues the whole island. Plenty available free parking in front, back of complex throughout day/nights. 35min drive from PPR1,2 & Pico Ruivo and other great hike trails. Definitely returning again, thank you Marta & Carmo for the great stay made our first trip to the island so memorable!

Amazing view of the ocean from the terrace and room. Very big living room, 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms, kitchen fully equipped. Coffee machine and capsules available. Very comfortable beds, clean rooms and bathrooms. 2-3 minutes to the city center/beach with great restaurants and breakfast place. Very nice and helpful host. Close to the airport. No noise from the airplanes. Supermarket and fruits very close by.

Amazing studio apartment only 20 min walk away from the airport with a view to the ocean (yes, you can see it from the window), very close to the local beach, central market, and nice restaurants in the area. Bolt costs around 15 euros to get to Funchal from the place. The apartment is newly renovated, fully equipped, and very clean. The landlord let us in early in the morning (though the flight was delayed and we checked it late at night, so he patiently waited for us)

The host was very kind and helpful. Rooms were cleanThe guesthouse is located in the center of the village, on the main square. Perfect location to beach and restaurants. This is a convenient option for early departures or late arrivals as the airport can be reached in a few minutes by car. The place is absolutey different from any other and would have charm if renovated.

Modern, clean, spacious apartment with all facilities for short or extended stay. Big TV, fast internet, new building, underground garage. Good location, 5min on foot from town centre and beachfront, 2min from bakery and grocery shops, 30min from airport arrivals (we walked to the apartment). Comfortable beds. Very nice host, that was waiting for our delayed arrival in the night and recovered item we left in the apartment.

The location was excellent considering that it is close to the airport and also in terms of the beach. The hotel is right in front of the ocean. Its location is excellent even though the settlement is very small and there is nothing to do in it at all. However, if you have a car, Funchal (the capital) is also nearby. The beds were comfortable, and the room was well appointed. The bathroom was also good. The breakfast was excellent considering that it was in the form of a buffet and there were delicious dishes for everyone's taste.
