The Garajau area is known for its pleasant climate, good access and its proximity to the sea that is part of a wonderful nature reserve. Are you ready to dive? The apartment is spacious and has two bedrooms; one with a double bed and the other with two single beds. The living room is large and with excellent natural light, thanks to its south orientation, which offers you a great sea view from the balcony. The property is ten minutes by car from the airport and Funchal. A real advantage for those who want to be close to the city and near the east side of the island. With a maximum capacity of six people, the apartment is fully equipped with all amenities. The property has a private parking place.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW The Garajau area offers you many restaurants, shops and supermarkets options. Furthermore, a beach can be reached within a five minutes walk, and there is a small trail for your morning walks, right next to the Cristo-Rei monument. Renting a car at the airport may be a good option to discover the island at your own pace. You can also choose to relax in Garajau and walk through its residential streets, going to the beach or reading a book in your private garden; these are just a few of the privileges in staying in this area.
GETTING AROUND The private transfer service is the best option to get to the flat. Contact us in advance to schedule a private transfer car with our local partners. It is cheaper than taking a taxi on your own in the airport!

Great place for a short or long holiday. :)
We had a very nice stay, everything was very clean and well taken care of. Apartment was spacious and had everything that one may need for a short or long stay. One small issue was the dogs barking in the night in the neighborhood but else we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Very tired and uncomfortable needs updating as the advertising online photos were old and not representative of the property condition or it's location - high density dwelling accessed via steep roads.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the property did not meet your expectations and for the discrepancies with the photos, as well as the inconvenience of the steep roads and surrounding area. We appreciate your comments and will use them to improve for future guests. We hope to have the chance to provide you with a better experience next time.

Très correct
Appartement très agréable. Étant en hauteur je conseille fortement d’avoir un véhicule car les accès routiers sont en pentes raides

Thank you very much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you had a pleasant stay. Your feedback is valuable to us as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the near future.
Appartement très correct, manquait un peu de vaisselle et quelques prises non fonctionnelles. Par temps de pluie infiltrations par le toit dans les escaliers qui pour l’instant n’affectent pas l'appartement. Mais à terme il va finir par être humide.

Mooi appartement
Appartement is keurig met een mooi uitzicht. Met auto goed te bereiken maar lopend een flinke inspanning. Rustige omgeving met weinig verkeer.
We gaan er zo weer heen maar dan wel met een auto want lopend pfffff.

Good stay! We love Madeira.
The appartment was very nice and well equiped.
The environment was also very nice except so many dogs barking all days and nights long!
I love dogs so much, the problem is the owners not saying anything!
Good services offered and responses on time always!
Thanks

Very Good Experience
We Stayed for 16 days, working remotely there and the house fully responded.
We got a wonderful view, the support was great and the cleaning as well and we were close to the main road of the Island so we were close to everything.

Checkin funktionierte leider nicht, da kein Wohnungsschlüssel in der Schlüsselbox war.....Leider stimmte die Hausnummer des Mietobjektes nicht mit den Angaben für das Checkin überein.
In der Wohnung selber waren einige Dinge zu reklamieren: Brauseduschkopf verkalkt, Toilettensitzdeckel nicht richtig befestigt, Lampen defekt. Diese Dinge wurden aber sehr schnell beseitigt bzw. repariert.
Das Haus, indem sich das Mietobjekt befindet, ist sehr hellhörig.
Wir wurden zur Einhaltung der Ruhe abends etc. aufgefordert. Die Nachbarn links und rechts wren auch alle sehr ruhig, nur deren Hunde nicht. Die bellten und jaulten zu jeder beliebigen Zeit und keiner kümmerte sich darum. Es hängt wohl auch damit zusammen, dass man dort ein gänzlich anderes Verhältnis zu Tieren hat als bei uns (wertfreie Äußerung!). Schräg unter uns war ein relativ großer Hund nur in einem kleinen Zwinger eingesperrt. Wir haben diesen Hund in den 5 Wochen Aufenthalt kein einziges mal außerhalb des Zwingers gesehen, geschweige denn, dass sich einer um ihn gekümmert hätte.....
Summa Sumarum war der Aufenthalt dort eine gute Wahl!
