The prime area of the iconic Avenida Arriaga is considered a super privileged area, thanks to the ease of moving anywhere, with easy access to public transportation to any part of the island, as well as the proximity to tourist attractions.
Modern and beautiful are the best words to describe this city apartment. Situated on the seventh floor of the Infante building, the property offers a wonderful almost 180° view of the city and mountains, perfect for waking up with nice views or enjoying your meals on the nice balcony. The property has two bedrooms with bathrooms, both equipped with a shower in a hydromassage cabin. One of the bathrooms is private. Both bedrooms have two single beds and there is still the possibility of adding another bed, increasing the maximum capacity of the apartment to five people. The living room is very well decorated and favored by the entrance of natural light, bringing a different glow to this open space, perfect for sharing good moments of culinary delights with family and friends.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD AND THE SURROUNDING AREA Located in one of the best areas of Funchal, this apartment is in the building of a small shopping center with supermarket, restaurants and various stores. Nearby you will find another shopping center with large supermarket, pharmacies, stores, bars, restaurants of national and international chains. A two-minute walk away is the pleasant Parque de Santa Catarina, with large green areas to run, relax or have a picnic overlooking the stunning Funchal bay. Madeira Casino is a five minute walk from the apartment. Right next to the building you will find the beautiful Teatro Municipal Baltazar Dias. The Funchal Marina is one minute away.
The location is ideal to explore the city on foot (five minutes walk from the cathedral and CR7 Museum) or by public transport that passes by the building.
TRANSPORT For departures and arrivals from the airport, there is an aerobus stop in front of the building, although the best option to reach the apartment will be the transfer. Ask us to book one with our local partners. It is cheaper than the cabs you find at the airport!

This apartment is well placed, close to the old town. It is well equipped and did all we needed. There is some traffic noise, which some people might find distracting, but overall we were very happy with the apartment

Great location and comfort accommodation!!
Great location and very comfortable accommodation. Our rental car was able to be delivered right in front of our location. Convenient and close to shopping and many restaurants. Had a wonderful stay. Coffee and pastry bakery across the street and multi convenience shopping and groceries one block away.

DISAPPOINTING
The location was fine but the apartment was in a building being used commercially. A feeling of being in the wrong place. Not enough seating if more than 3 in the apartment. Showers temperamental. The positive is it is in easy reach of most places and only a 15 minute walk to the old town.

Lots of Potential but Not Up to Par
The close location for walking to the old town and the underground parking, plus the deck, attracted us to this rental. It was a very secure building. However, it was noisy way after midnight even with closed windows; some things needed much better cleaning (black mold in showers especially), and some items were broken or didn’t work well. Beds were OK. No central heat or air/conditioning. Room fans and heaters only. This rental has lots of potent but needs to replace and update things. We would not stay here again.

Céntrico alojamiento
Arriaga I es un alojamiento espacioso, ubicado en pleno centro de Funchal y con parcela de garaje. Ideal para visitar y moverte por la isla. Cerca de comercios, supermercados y restaurantes. Todo lo necesario para una buena estancia en Madeira. Repetiría sin dudarlo.

Comfortable apartment in Fabulous Central location
The apartment which is located on the 7th floor has wonderful views of the mountains, Santa Catarina Park and the Avendida Arriaga. It is situated in close proximity to the harbour, restaurants, shopping malls, bakery, taxis and buses- fabulous central location. This spacious condo is well equipped for four adults. The dishes, appliances and furniture were in great shape. The beautiful terrace and cable tv were used to relax after a full day of sightseeing. You will not be disappointed!

Comfortable stay in a spacious appartnent
We liked the location, the two large bedrooms, the two bathrooms, the nice kitchen, the beautiful terrace and the free parking
The place is however noisy and has no aircon, better have earplugs at night
A bluetooth speaker is also missing, and the TV is not to standards
Altogether a nice experience
Nos gostamos muito da nossa experiencia em Funchal e a equipe do Island foi fantástica, Maria e Fábio nos ajudaram muito e quando tivemos problemas eles encontraram soluções com muita rapidez.
Nos recomendamos e voltaremos com certeza.

Excelente localização!
Sentimo-nos muito bem neste apartamento, tão bem localizado e totalmente equipado. E, ainda, com lugar para estacionamento.
A quem tem sono leve poderá incomodar o barulho de uma rua muito movimentada (que é, na verdade, o preço a pagar por tanta centralidade). Mas, após 2 caminhadas por veredas maravilhosas, o mais provável é adormecer profundamente de imediato!
Experiência, no global, muito positiva e a repetir. Recomendo!

City holiday
The apartment is really in the heart of the town next to the theater. Everything is close. The down side is that also the noice level is higher (trafic, people etc.). The apartment is well equipped but we did miss the oven and the washing macine.
