About this property

Situated just 4km outside of Funchal town centre, it is perfectly located for eating out, shopping, and sight seeing. Alternatively, relax by the infinity pool and admire the breath taking views over the Atlantic Ocean and Praia Formosa beach with its walkway to Camara De Lobos.

This modern second floor apartment is fully furnished, bright and airy, and comes with access to a fully equipped gymnasium, jacuzzi, and outdoor pool area. It has its own parking space, lift access, and west facing balconies off both the living room and bedroom, espresso coffee machine, and WiFi internet access. An optional single bed is also available for a child.

Please note that we are now part of the “Clean & Safe” accreditation from Tourismo de Portugal.

Vila Formosa gains its name from the beach below, Praia Formosa, which is the main beach of Funchal. The apartment has steps (many!) down to the beach where you will find three great cafes and open air restaurants and a 2km walkway (on stilts in the sea) to the fishing village of Camara De Lobos (also with great cafes and restaurants).

Great Experience

The property is located in a quieter part of Lido but is close to two large supermarkets, many restaurants, and local spots. The sunset from the balcony is priceless. These aspects are probably similar to other reviews of this property, but for us, the most important thing was that we felt at home. Everything—from the warm welcome to the cleanliness of the house to the well-equipped kitchen—was just perfect.Thank you, Fiona and Natasha, for everything. See you next year! :)

Healthy holiday in beautiful surrounding

The apartment complex is well maintained as well as the apartment. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room are spacious and well equipped. Above all, the large storage space in the bedroom exceeded our expectations. We were not only provided with "normal" towels, but also bath towels, so that we were sufficiently supplied. The kitchen is also perfectly equipped, so that our own cooking was also possible. There are 2 balconies, both of which were in the shade until early afternoon. Especially in warm temperatures very pleasant, as you could easily switch between sun at the pool and shade on the balcony. The swimming pool invites you to swim, as well as to dream with a wide view of the sea. The fitness room is equipped with a treadmill, cross trainer and ergometer. The many steps (108), which have already been taken into account in previous evaluations, invite you to warm up or to have a final sense of achievement. However, it should be noted that everywhere on Madeira it goes either up or down - that's what makes this island so appealing. We were impressed by the very detailed description that our landlords left us. From general information about the apartment, to bus schedules, tips for restaurants etc. This made it easy to settle in quickly and easily. All in all, we had a great and relaxing holiday, and I was also able to spend a carefree holiday despite my chronic pain disorder Thank you very much for everything! Carola & Oliver

Grand appartement

Bel appartement, bien équipé et grand. Et bien situé au milieu de l ile. Le petit bémol c'est l insonorisation qui n est pas au top puisque l on entend les voisins du dessus. Le jaccouzzi est vieillissant et ne faisait pas de bulles. Des travaux viennent de commencer pour la construction d'un nouveau complexe juste devant le bâtiment dommage...

Nice apartment in Madeira

We really enjoyed our stay at Vila Formosa. It is in a great location, close to many restaurants and shopping. A short bus ride to Old Town Funchal. The apartment is is well equipped and spacious. The beach is nearby and has a nice promenade to wander along. Our host ,Natasha, also arranged transportation for us from the airport to the apartment. We would definitely return.

Beautiful apartment

We had a fantastic stay in Natasha's apartment in Villa Formosa. A very nice place. Everything was present in the apartment. It was also lovely outside by the pool. And the view is really beautiful. The only thing unfortunate was that the sofa in the living room was not a sofa bed. (for people who want to sleep separately) But again, a wonderful apartment.

Great view and location

Rented this condo for a month. Loved getting up every morning to a beautiful view of the Atlantic ocean and the west side of the island. It is well situated in the west side of Funchal with good access to the bus to downtown. Can be walked as well. Area is mostly flat. Access to various spots on the island was easy in a rental car. The main East-West highways wasn’t far away. The kitchen was fairly well equipped with a large enough refrigerator, a stove top with oven and a dishwasher. The clothes washing machine likely needs servicing, sometimes is not quite right with the latching mechanism. Several dishes were chipped and should be replaced. Good services in the area with a good grocery store just up the street, cafe, restaurants, hair cutting, car rental. Really not lacking any amenities. All and all, we loved the place.

Generally lovely apartment and area

The pre holiday communication was really good with Natasha organising taxi transfers and answering all our questions, especially about the gym area which is quite important to us. There were a couple of things with the gym when we arrived, there was no working sauna and the jacuzzi that was advertised died a couple of days into our stay, after sounding extremely noisy across the whole pool area prior to this, also on the last day of our stay the gym was unfortunately flooded. The apartment was generally very good with everything you would need for a home from home experience, however some of the crockery could do with replacing as it was very chipped. It would have been nice to have a main door key each as although we travel as a couple we do sometimes go out on our own and had to prearrange being back at a certain time to gain entry to the apartment. The air conditioning in the bedroom was really good, there was also a portable unit for the lounge advertised but this didn’t work and the lounge was very hot without it. I contacted Peter the key holder about this and a problem we had with the main door lock which was very stiff, the day after we arrived. It was however eight days into the holiday before receiving a new fan and the door lock being fixed and key replaced. ( the lock was so stiff it had broken the key fob off trying to turn it). Overall a very nice apartment and location that just needs minor improvements and updating of the website to be totally accurate.

Magical Madeira

Frankly the best holiday we have ever gone on. Apartment was in a perfect location and was well equipped, spotless and with the most incredible views we’ve ever seen. The island itself was loaded with great food, great people and great weather. We’d come back in an instant. Thanks to our hostess.

Madeira Holiday

The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The store was a short walk away. The bus can be easily accessed. Only downer was the construction work taking place between the condo and ocean front. They work long hours. But the weather was beautiful the whole time we were there. The people are nice and there's lots to do.

About the host

Hosted by Natasha Blezard

We are hard working, like most of us! Consequently, we take 'holiday time' very seriously

Why they chose this property

My husband wanted a place with a unbroken view of the sea, especially the sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. A pool and gym was also important.

What makes this property unique

It is not a holiday complex but a private residence. It is quiet and perfectly situated overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
