Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday apartment in Funchal
Peaceful self Catering apartment, set in landscaped gardens, relaxing views.

This self catering ocean facing, waterfront apartment, set on the cliff top, in landscaped gardens with a swimming pool is in a excellent location for your holiday rental, relaxing, peaceful, romantic. From the balcony watch the sunrise over the Desertes Islands, and later in the day you can just relax and take in the stunning views, listen to sounds of the waves, watch the sunset in the evening, and the moon glistening on the water at night. Although, the apartment is only a few minutes walk to restaurants, shops, supermarket, banks, taxi's ranks, bus stop and promenade walk, with its cliff top position, it is well away from the road, in a wonderful location.The centre of Funchal, is a pleasant 10-15 min walk. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable, and furnished to a very high standard, fully equipped for your every need, to enable you to have a relaxing holiday. We are there to add that personal touch, and greet you on your arrival, and answer any questions you may have.

On your arrival: On your arrival we can arrange transport for you to and from the airport, we have taxi driver's we have used for many years, and are friendly and very reliable, and speak very good English. They will collect you from the airport and take you to the apartment where we will be there to greet you and show you around the apartment, and to answer any questions you may have. There will a welcome pack for you on arrival also. If you should need any extra help or advice during your stay we would be pleased to help. The apartment is very central, with good transport available close by, so hiring a car is not really necessary unless you wish to, and if so there is car parking available at the apartment. There is also a hire car office in the courtyard of the apartment , so if you do wish to hire a car for the odd day, it is very convenient for pick-up and return of the car.

We have tried to put all the little extra touches to the apartment to make your stay more enjoyable.

During your stay: There is a portfolio of useful information which includes maps, leaflets from local attractions, restaurants to try, excursions, wonderful walks, exotic gardens, golf etc.

If you are golfers there is our two challenging golf courses in Madeira,- Palherio, which is a short 15 mins drive, or Santo Serra, which is 35min drive. We are pleased to be able to offer a 30% discount on green fees at Palherio Course.

Sunbeds available for sunbathing in the gardens. The balcony is a beautiful relaxing setting, with panoramic views, it is a lovely spot to retire to after your day of shopping or exploring this beautiful island, which our guests find very hard to leave.

On your departure: On your departure we will return to the apartment to bid you farewell, and to ensure you have had a good holiday. The time of departure from the apartment on the day is flexible, depending on the time of new arrival's.

The usual time of departure is 10am, but luggage can be left until your departure to the airport.

Home from home - with a difference!

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 02 November 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
The charming owners of this property, Rosemarie and Adrian Thompson, described this apartment to us as a 'home from home'. Certainly it has the comfort of a favourite sweater or a worn in pair of shoes but it has more. The stunning view from the balcony for a start (don't worry if you have forgotten your binoculars, they are provided) and the location - perfect for local restaurants, shops, strolling into town or more ambitious coastal walking. A real home to come back to - so much nicer than an hotel. Be sure to give the nearby Moby Dick Restaurant a try early on in your stay as you will probably want a return visit before you leave. If you don't enjoy your stay in this property then you either don't like Madeira or you don't like holidays! Throughly recommended.

The Spensley stay, August 30 - September 6 2010

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 07 September 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Just returned from a fabulous week in this lovely apartment. The description listing was accurate to the letter but does not do it justice. Excellent, clean and quiet accommodation and the views, breathtaking, you have to see for yourself. Lovely pool to use whenever you wish, and so quiet. We enjoyed breakfast and a nightcap on the balcony every night. The weather was glorious all week.
Rosemarie and Adrian made us very welcome, and also came to say farewell, and David the taxi driver was extremely helpful.
Eating out, you're spoilt for choice, all are very good especially the Italian just around the corner and down the somewhat steep bank (but worth it). Also Moby Dick's worth a visit just out of the door. About a 15 min walk, 1 way to Funchal and the other way to Forum Shopping Centre, are both nice walks past restaurants and shops. If you don't fancy the walk there is a regular bus service at the top of the road that will take you almost anywhere cheaply.
Would recommend this apartment to both family and friends, and will definately return (didn't want to leave !). Also thanks to Janine for organising things from England.

Thanks again, Linda and Graham

Review Submitted: 27 August 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
This was the first time we have done a holiday apartment, normally do the holiday package. Really cannot praise enough the warm welcome that we had at Funchal Airport from David the taxi driver giving us all the information about the Island. Mr & Mrs Thompson made us feel at home. The apartment is very clean and home from home. The view from the balcony is heaven, I will really miss sitting having my morning cuppa watching the boats going by.

The only downside is, if you are not very mobile it is hilly, but I just took my time.
We will be returning, Maderia is a lovely place and the people are so friendly. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Thank you so much Marie for being so welcoming
and friendly. We love your apartment.
Well it's home for us tomorrow, how are we going to tear ourselves away from this balcony?
We have had a fantastic holiday- even the two
storms were spectacular, again viewed from the
balcony until we were getting too wet!
The Christmas lights are also spectacular, one
year we are going to make it for the New Year
Celebrations. It's true what our friends Kirsty
and Phil say- Location , location, location.

The balcony sold it to us

Review Submitted: 06 June 2010 Date of Stay: November 2009
Right from our very first contact through the internet,we have been impressed by the website, email contact, help from Janine in the UK, and
of course finally the apartment. The balcony sold it to us initially and like others we have been totally addicted to spending as much time as possible out here. We appreciated the warm welcome and the supplies in the fridge! The weather been perfect we can throroughly recommend.Thankyou Marie and Adrian for this lovely week.

Review Submitted: 16 February 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
We have just spent 2 weeks (Feb 2010) at the apartment and it is, without question, everything that it says it is.
It is just like home from home, being both comfotable and most fully equipped to the highest standards, there is everything you need to have a wonderful holiday.
The location is ideal for quiet relaxation with superb sea views, (the sunrise is magnificent!), but at same time close enough for easy access to centre of Funchal and also to many very good restaurants etc nearby.
The owners of the apartment are most welcoming and have done everything to make staying at their apartment a most enjoyable experience.
We visit the beatiful island of Madeira every year and having now found this apartment, we will not consider staying anywhere else. We will be booking another visit very shortly.

Review Submitted: 21 April 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
My husband and I have been to this apartment twice now, once in December and once in July and both times have had a marvellous time. The flat is furnished to perfection and in a wonderful location and the owners cannot do more to help you enjoy Madeira to the full. I would recommend this property to anyone and everyone. There are several very nice restaurants in the location particularly Moby Dick which is just downstairs and taxis and busses are available a minutes walk away. Absolutely first class.

Review Submitted: 26 February 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
A lovely comfortable apartment with views to die for. The owners or their representatives are extremely friendly and helpful. There is no need to hire a car as the bus stop is right outside. If you buy pre paid tickets it is so cheap and exciting to get around. Get a bus timetable and enjoy the ride. The levada walks are absolutley stunning, some not for the faint hearted!

I would highly recommend this apartment, the position is perfect, close enough to town but still peaceful. Looking forward to returning.

As you say the buses are good value and offer VERY exciting rides-you would pay a fortune at Disney World for a comparable ride!
Hope your kind words will attract and encourage clients to book with us in the future.
