"We had a great stay at this clean and well-maintained apartment. The location is very convenient—just 10–15 minutes from Funchal, about 15 minutes from the airport, and close to the main highway, making it easy to get around the island. One big plus was the dedicated garage spot, which made parking stress-free. Overall, a comfortable place in a great location—highly recommended!"

"Nice place, near the bus stop and close enough the shops and restaurants. Clean and well equipped apartment. We travelled with group of 4 persons and this was great fit for us as there was bathrooms and bedrooms for both couples and functioning kitchen. There was also enough extra blankets and heaters if having cold, but as we are from Finland, we didn't need those ;)"
