First visit since covid 19. Dec 2021 5/5

First visit since covid 19 started, so glad to be back! We are impressed with the constant checks Madeira do to keep everyone safe. Sadly some of our favourite restaurants we used to visit are gone, but still plenty to choose from. Still adore the island and this apartment, the views are to die for. We used to come with my Dad as well every 2-3 times a year. Sadly he passed away in 2021, Seems strange without him, he loved this apartment and Madeira. So, this is Dad's memory trip.  Anyway, we are coming back in March will be our 21st visit. Must like it here! Can't wait to be sitting on the balcony again!.

Thank  you John and Diane, yes we missed not seeing your Dad too, but lovely to see you both again, and looking forward to March 2022.

Great Apartment with wonderful sea views. 5/5 Aug. 2021

Do not need to rise early to claim a sunbed as we have our own supplied, and there is always space around the pool. The apartment has everything you will need for your stay. Plenty of places to eat locally, but be selective as they range from expensive to ok, just let google be a guide, but I would recommend " all together" you won't regret it. Do the cable car and Gardens. Do the basket Sledge. Do a Island Tour. Wind down and relax! We did! 

Thank you!

Spacious apartment in a superb location 5/5
A very comfortable apartment, well equipped with everything you need. The pool area is lovely and clean and the water a perfect temperature. Fantastic views from the balcony and a nice walk into Funchal or easy enough to take the bus or taxi if preferred. There is a supermarket close by with fantastic fresh produce and many restaurants to choose from in the immediate locality. The owner arranged a taxi to collect us from the airport which I highly recommend. We took a couple of tours with the same taxi driver (Manuel) during our holiday - he was the perfect tour guide and very easy going. Definitely a 5-star holiday!

    Spacious sea-view apartment.
    The apartment was well furnished with stylish, comfortable furnishings. All possible, quality, equipment was included. We were impressed that the reality was better than the web site. Well done Marie for finding this place in an excellent position and equipping it so well. It is near to many restaurants and has easy access to all the tourist amenities. The garden and pool area were peaceful, clean and with super sea views.

We stayed at the Apartment for 1 week with my mother and we wish it had been for longer. The apartment was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. Rose Marie certainly has thought of everything. We had a welcome pack waiting for us with rolls ready for our lunch! The views are exceptional and the balcony was perfect for breakfast and pre dinner drinks!

Rose Marie was waiting to greet us and came to say goodbye when we left.

We will definitely be back!

Thank you so much to Rose Marie who couldn't have been a better host. Maria, Jason and Chris x

Fantastic Apartment and very friendly owner, Rose Marie and Adrian

We, my wife and me stayed in this Apartment the second time. Last year in june and this year in January 15th to 29th with the daughter and step son. Rose Marie welcomed us when we arrived. We love this apartment very much because it is well equipped and very clean with a good location to Lido, shops and hotels. The view from the balcony is just stunning. It has never been boring for us and the whether was perfect for this season.

Thank you so much to Rose Marie who could not have been a better host.

Rosemary's apartment was. just perfect for us. It was well furnished, comfortable and the location, close enough to walk into Funchal and on a bus route for ease of travel around the island, made it an ideal place to stay for me and.my 80+ year old mother. The welcome basket was much appreciated and the views from the balcony cannot be beaten, although we weren’t fortunate enough to see dolphins this year! We will definitely be back.

This is our second stay at this lovely apartment and it won't be our last. Hopefully we'll be back next year. The apartment is well furnished with all you will need for a great stay. There is a great welcome pack from Marie and Adrian plus Marie will organise a taxi, we had the lovely Manual, to pick you up from the Airport and take you back for 28 Euros a trip.

The apartment is lovely and central too, so every thing is on your door step.

Marie Rose was waiting for us to bring the key. She is a very friendly and helpful person.

The flat, which is situated in the tourist-area, is nice and clean. From the balcony there is a fantastic view to the garden and the sea.

I would like to come back another time.

This apartment is in a fantastic location right by the ocean with stunning sea views.

It is superbly furnished with all modern facilities as described on the website.

The bed linen is lovely and changed weekly.

The owners, Rosemarie and Adrian are so helpful and arrange airport pickup if required by taxi.

Its location is handy for the local buses (cheap to use) and there is an abundance of restaurants in the vicinity to suit all tastes.

We have been going to this apartment since 2007 and highly recommend for adults who like a home from home place to stay to relax and enjoy Madeira.

Spent a very relaxing week here with my 82 year old mother and we had a wonderful time. The apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped and the view from the balcony was stunning. There is nothing better than having breakfast in the sun overlooking the shimmering Atlantic Ocean whilst Britain is shivering under a layer of snow! Ideally situated close to bus stops it is also near enough to the centre of Funchal to walk in and there are plenty of restaurants within a short walk, including Moby Dick's just opposite which serves excellent food. The welcome pack was much appreciated, particularly the fresh rolls and the wine, and Rosemarie was there when we arrived to give us local information and advice. Although we didn't use the pool it looked well maintained and the gardens were immaculate.

I highly recommend this apartment and would not hesitate to return.

Marie and Adrian took care of absolutely everything, giving us a worry free, hassle free holiday. They arranged transport to and from the airport for us with their driver at a reasonable rate and very kindly accommodated a different change over date. The apartment is absolutely lovely and a real "home from home" with everything you could need including a Welcome Pack which was very well received (thank you!). It is spotlessly clean, and that view is absolutely worth every penny. Shops and restaurants all within very close walking distance. I would without doubt, recommend to anyone and look forward very much to returning one day soon. The description of the apartment is as described and if anything far exceeded our expectations - which were already high prior to arrival! The restaurant Moby Dick near the entrance provides great home cooked food and for a more refined dinner try L'Osteria.

From start to finish our holiday to Madeira was wonderful but it was made even better by the wonderful accommodation we stayed in. Rose Marie organised a taxi to meet us at the Airport and was waiting for us at the apartment. There was a wonderful 'welcome pack' and a tour of the facilities. It was kitted out with everything you needed to make your stay there comfy.

Both my brother and I would stay there again in a heartbeat. We are missing sitting on the balcony in the evening with a glass of wine, listening to the sea and having a chat.

Thank you Rose Marie and I hope Adrian is feeling better.

Just loved our 2 week stay here! We thought the accommodation had a cosy home from home ambience. The location is really good for restaurants and Funchal centre. Sea views are amazing, the balcony was a lovely tranquil place to sit with a glass and a book. Hoping to visit again next year as this place met all of our needs.

Returning for a second visit to this apartment , The decor was pristine, the furniture and fittings of the same high quality. The owners Rosemarie and Adrian meet and greet you, say goodbye to you and in between are available should you need their help or advice.

Mother Nature did have something to do with the spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean that awaits you when stepping out onto the balcony. However nothing can prepare you for such an awe inspiring view that you will never tire from looking at during your stay. I recommend breakfast on the balcony which gets every day of your stay off to the most fabulous start. Below the apartment is a shared swimming pool with sunbathing areas. The area in which the apartment is situated is packed with restaurants most of good quality and value for money. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to my friends and relatives and my wife and I will certainly be returning in the not too distant future.
