Perfect apartment in the sun
We rented this lovely apartment for 3 weeks in December.
It's been set up fantastically well. The owner has thought of everything from the barbecue, the jacuzzi, the kitchen equipment and smart TV to little things like a lighter, safe boxes and adapter plugs of which there were many. We couldn't think of anything the flat didn't have!
I'd say the best thing of many good things about the apartment is the balcony which overlooks the town. We ate there most of the time during our stay or just sat and read our books on there.
The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom, especially the walk-in shower was brand new and superb.
Luz and Sidonia who work for AHIM could not have been more helpful. Both speak fluent English and were extremely keen to make sure we were happy - and we were!
The town is less 500m from the apartment and most of that is steeply downhill but, with frequent stops on the way back up, it's easily walkable on the well-lit path (off the road. We are a couple in their 60s).
This isn't a place to stay if you want to go walking from the apartment because there's no pavement around and there are many hills - that's Madeira though, of course. But, as a place to work whilst in the sun or as a place to just crash out and relax it's really perfect.
The lamp would be better with three shades because the light from it is a little harsh!
