Incredible
The location of the house is perfect. Within walking distance to cable cars, shops and the farmers market. The house is fantastic, with incredible ocean views to enjoy your meals or just sit with your morning coffee or a glass of wine. We locked ourselves out one day and the homeowner returned my email within 5 minutes. Mirela was there in 10 minutes. The house has everything you need to feel like home, and is incredibly clean. Our taxi driver, Rapheal, was so nice and friendly. We really enjoyed transport with him. We will definitely stay here again when we return. Thanks Karen, your place is definitely exceptional.

Fabulous Experience
Perhaps one of the nicest experiences you could ask for – This place has everything. The location is just up the hill from Old Town with views of the ocean and harbor. Highly recommend you bring a good pair of binoculars to truly enjoy all the activities on the ocean from whale and dolphin watching to enjoying watching the ships and boats, open water kayakers, wind surfers, and paddleboarders. The two decks are fully furnished for enjoying a relaxed and beautiful time. The furnishings are comfortable and clean. The modern kitchen is stocked for a banquet – both in dishes and utensils as well as spices, coffee, etc. Karen and Mike have a true jewel in this home. Everything looked brand new and operated perfectly. Mirela, the housekeeper was simply incredible. She made the stay a wonderful experience with all her help and advice on things to do and the local activities. If you are looking for an extremely clean, comfortable place to spend all your vacation time, or a wonderful home base for exploring the beautiful city and all of Madeira you should stay here. Better than a 5-star hotel!!!

Holiday in Madeira
Excellent property. I could not believe the amount of ware glasses etc. It had absolutely everything. Mirela was so helpful. Great view from the property. We felt the pull up the hill but very soon found an alternate route. Would definitely recommend it to anybody who is thinking of going to Madeira. Weather was very warm when we were there so it was great to sit out in the shade.

Beautiful
Funchal, Madeira and this property are beautiful. You will want to return. The villa is located within 10-15 mins walk of the old town, via cobbled streets and quite a sharp walk back up the road. We found a wonderful range of cafes and restaurants and enjoyed every meal. Everything we needed was supplied, a great kitchen and good quality furnishings. The temperature was 30c+ during our stay in October and a floor or desk fan in the living room would’ve been lovely. All 3 bedrooms had air-con which was much appreciated. We made good use of the south facing veranda with its comfy chairs and sun-loungers. Watching the ocean going traffic, including the arrival of one of the world’s largest cruise ships and Navel vessels patrolling the area, was fun. Mirela the housekeeper was on hand to offer advice as required (taxis etc). Her kind help evicting a rogue lizard from the basement bedroom was appreciated - she even changed the bed linen (it has snuck in the bed!). The welcome pack contained excellent fresh bread which encouraged us to find the local bakery for more - asap! The little narrow street in front of the house can be (infrequently) noisy - from the delivery lads on their scooters or the early morning workers. Thank you to Karen and Mirela, for your thoughtfulness and considerations.

Absolutely fabulous!!
Everything about this rental is fantastic. It is in a great location, it's a really terrific house, very responsive, owner, and wonderful housekeeper who was really helpful. We were walking distance from everything. We rented a car and we could keep it in the garage. We used in the car for excursions. Two different hiking locations and sights around the island. We had so much fun! Best rental ever!

Amazing villa in spectacular old town Funchal
This is an amazing modern Villa with spectacular views and facilities. We were met by the housekeeper who was very helpful and welcoming, with lots of local knowledge. The villa is much more spacious than it looks on the listing and is immaculately clean and well stocked. The Coffee machine such a bonus and we also enjoyed a BBQ on the terrace one evening. The location was amazing and very close to waterfront and in the old town where the best cafes and restaurants are, but also a little set back from the business and noise so was nice and quiet. Parking was easy as we had hired a car and a perfect base for trips out of the city. The villa felt spacious and luxurious and sunsets on the terrace were spectacular.

Truly amazing!
This property was perfect in every way and had everything we/you could possibly need. We had a friendly welcome at the house when we arrived direct from the airport (host provided contact details of reliable driver who met us there), and there were thoughtful provisions supplied so we wouldn't go without when we got there. Our questions about the area were answered and there was a great deal of helpful information and advice available in a folder in the house. The spacious layout; closeness to the town centre; view across the Atlantic; cleanliness of the house, and range of quality equipment all deserve a special mention - and no, I haven't been paid to write this...it really is near perfect! There was plenty room for us all to relax on the patio, enjoy BBQs, eat round the table either inside or out, and relax in the comfortable lounge area. Karen and Michael obviously really care about their property and are such lovely hosts - we were delighted to have stayed there.
