About this property

Ocean facing, Ocean front apartment -stunning panoramic views,excellent location

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.
Mondays changeovers are preferred, but we can be flexible when possible.


On your arrival: On your arrival I 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 I 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 public car parking along side the drive way down to the apartment building. Parking is metered, but available, but can be busy during certain times. if you need more information, please ask. 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.
On your arrival when I greet you, I have to collect from you the Tourist tax for Funchal. Which is 2 euros per night per person, maximum of 7 nights.
i.e. 14 euros per person for a 7 nights. Which has to be paid in cash to me on arrival, which I will pay to the local council.

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.
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.

Excellent stay in a fabulous location
We stayed for a week with Rose Marie in her lovely apartment overlooking the sea with fabulous views. Rose Marie was an excellent host. The location is just off the Main Street which was perfect for us and a short walkable distance into Funchal city centre and the harbour. Overall a great place to stay and an enjoyable holiday with lots to do.

Amazing apartment, owner first class ambassador for Madeira
From the outset rose Marie’s communication was brilliant. The airport transfers she arranged made the whole flow of our holiday from leaving the airport to walking back into it 2 weeks later a breeze with no stress. Rose Marie met us at the apartment and made us feel so welcome. She made great efforts to show us around her apartment and explain everything from bedding changes to the recycling which we found most helpful and so much better than just collecting your keys from some combination box like other holiday experiences. The amount of information she gave us in the apartment made our holiday a really amazing experience and we did so much in 2 weeks. Rose Marie informed us when the bed changes, towels etc would be and where to shop, public transport and other information we may need and did use. Rose Marie’s apartment is an absolute home from home in comfort, amenities, and the setting. This apartment is ideal for a couples, family of 4, a couple of friends or even a solo traveler. The complex is very family oriented with many residents living there. The view is amazing from the balcony’s over the ocean morning, noon and night. Rose Marie is at the end of the phone if needed although we did not need her. Rose Marie is a most welcoming, hospitable, friendly, helpful, warm and pleasant person it was worth the holiday to meet such a genuine lady. We will definitely be visiting rose Marie’s apartment again. Thank you again. Stephen, Kim and Linda.

Fantastic stay
Lovely apartment in a great area. The uninterrupted sea views are amazing. We loved sitting out on the balcony - it was so relaxing. The host is very attentive and thoughtful. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise. The host also recommended a taxi driver who picked us up from the airport and took us on a fantastic day tour to the west of the island

Our experience at this charming apartment was excellent. Very clean, located right on the ocean, in a nice area with restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores. The apartment, which felt more like a home is extremely well furnished with a well stocked kitchen. Even though we arrived late at night, the owner, Rose Marie was there to give us a warm welcome and get us settled. She was very responsive and attentive and her kindness made our stay wonderful.

Urlaub mit Einschränkungen
Die Kommunikation mit Rose Marie lief problemlos. Wir wurden sehr herzlich von ihr empfangen. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, der Ausblick wie auf den Bildern sehr schön. In 2 Wochen wurde die Bettwäsche und die Handtücher einmal gewechselt. Die erste Enttäuschung kam direkt bei der Ankunft an der Fewo. In der Objektbeschreibung ist angegeben das es einen Parkplatz vor Ort gibt, diesen gab es leider nicht nur gebührenpflichtige öffentliche Parkplätze und diese auch nur in begrenzter Anzahl. Praktisch lief es dann so ab, dass man seinen Mietwagen entweder in einer nahe gelegenen Tiefgarage oder im weiteren Umfeld einen kostenpflichtigen Parkplatz suchen musste. Es wäre schön gewesen darpber vor der Anreise informiert zu werden. Das viel größere Problem war aber die Baustelle direkt gegenüber der Fewo. Hier wurde während unseren 16 Tagen Aufenthalt außer an Wochenenden und Feiertagen pünktlich um 08.00 - 18.30 / 19.30 Uhr mit sehr schwerem Baugerät (Baggerpresslufthammer) gearbeitet. Da die Schlafzimmer zu der Baustelle hin lagen bekam man den extremen Lärm entsprechend mit. Wenn man wie wir gerne etwas länger schlafen oder auch gerne mal einen relaxten Tag auf dem schönen Balkon haben möchte, kann man sich ausmahlen das es hier leider überhaupt keine Erholsame Ferien gab. Rose Marie hat sich zwar für diesen Umstand mehrfach entschuldigt und beteuert das sie von diesen Bauarbeiten ebenfalls überrascht wurde aber das hilft uns leider auch nicht weiter. Daher keine Erholung schade!

Loved this beautiful spot on the sea!
Rose Marie is a very caring host and so helpful. The view is amazing and we enjoyed drinking coffee every morning on the balcony. The location is perfect for travelling to the old town and walkable to the Madeira Forum for shopping. The buses are handy and there is a taxi stand close by.There are many restaurants in the area. The building is well kept and very secure. We loved having a washer and the little partially closed in balcony for hanging the clothes was charming. They dried overnight. We loved the tiles in both of the bathrooms. I am so glad she has chosen to keep them. There is plenty of closet space with drawers. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. There was even a small trolly to pull to the grocery store. It really came in handy for heavy items. I wasn't well for a couple of days and she even had a hot water bottle available!! We hope someday to return and we would definitely stay here again.

Excellent apartment in Funchal
The property has uninterrupted views over the sea in a quiet location and is very well maintained. Supermarkets are very close by and the shopping trolley in the apartment was very useful as there are some steep hills. The local restaurants offered a great choice and there is also a regular bus service into the old town where there is plenty to choose from. From start to finish we found Rose-Marie to be very helpful and quick to respond. We would thoroughly recommend this apartment.

What a gem
This apartment is a haven in a great location. Facing onto the sea we could see and hear the waves from the lounge and sitting having a cuppa on the balcony is a great way to start the day. The apartment is a spacious, retro cool, home from home. Beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Well equipped with traditional Madeira touches, we immediately fell in love with it. Rose Marie is the perfect host. She arranged our transport from and to the airport, was there to greet us and see us off and was happy to answer any questions. The apartment is quiet and you feel tucked away but step out onto the main road and you are surrounded by restaurants and shops. Its a short walk West to the promenade. Or a leisurely 20/25min walk East takes you to the centre of Funchal or you can hop onto a bus for the 5/10 min drive instead. There is a stop close by to hop on a tour bus. No need to rush for a lounger if you fancy a day by the pool as there are two in the apartment but the pool side was often empty. There is a selection of books too if you need something to read. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to eat in and there are several supermarkets close by. We've already booked for next year.

Coastal residence with wonderful views of the Atlantic
Just as it says in the VRBO description its a well managed apartment run by an owner who cares about her guests.So popular that she has it booked out the majority of next year.Only drawbacks are with overuse both bathrooms will need some renovation in the near future. The apartment access is via a very steep road and th entrance door is down a further 20 steps. Not good for anyone with any disabilty

Comfortable and relaxing accommodation
Having stayed in hotels close to the apartments in the past we were very happy with the location. The apartment was very well appointed and the sea view from the living room with balcony, made for a relaxing time. TV and wifi all good and the kitchen well appointed. The shared swimming pool and surrounding garden were never crowded so no problem with sun beds. Rose Marie greeted us on arrival and helped us settle in. In all, a very good experience. Thank you Rose Marie

Just Lovely!
Rose Marie was a delight, she met us although we were running a bit late, she provided us with some tasty treats, fruit, bread and wine. My husband and I are 60 years old, we relied on the buses. The number 1 & 2 bus stop about a block away and the number 4 bus turns at the "Hole in One" about a block and half away. Going into town the buses are at the top of the driveway. We really enjoyed our stay, we loved our morning coffee & tea on the balcony, the pool, and exploring Madeira!
