Comfortable & Excellent location
The apartment is very large, comfortable, and well equipted. Best of all is the location - It is centrally located in Funchal, next to the Municipal Park. Very close to many shops, restaurants and the waterfront.
The only downside was the noise from the tenants above (we were on the 1st floor) We experienced 2 different tenants during our stay and it was easy to hear people walking about - the last group seemed to be walking about all the time and it was very disruptive.

We will take into account the issues you mentioned and fix it as soon as possible.
You will always be welcome at our properties :)
Traditional & comfortable decor, beautiful view of the park, and comfortable bedrooms. The only thing is you can hear guests in the apartment above. There was a young child who was running back and forth and also rolling something that sounded so loud it was shaking the apartment. We later learned it was a stroller the child was pushing back and forth above us. Maybe set up more rugs in the upstairs units? Other than that, it was a very charming place.

Good Overall, especially the location
The TV could do with more English speaking programmes and news channels. Also, the mattress in the main bedroom is coming to the end of its life. Repeated calls for more toilet paper were ignored, so we bought our own. We lacked a broom or brush and pan so were unable to easily clean up any spills or accidents.
Apart from that, the apartment was very well equipped. We would definitely go back if we could get the first floor flat. The stairs are more challenging for the higher flats.

Excelente localização
A casa encontra-se num sitio privilegiado. Não irá faltar espaço e condições para um grupo poder cozinhar sempre que precisar ou de lavar roupa durante uma longa estadia. Recomendo totalmente para quem gosta de estar perto do centro e das atividades da cidade do Funchal. As única observações a fazer são: o chão está um pouco velho e acaba por ser um pouco incomodo principalmente à noite. A casa de banho tem o chão todo em ceramico, o que pode ser um pouco perigoso após um banho.
De resto 5 estrelas.

Un appartement plein de charme dans une situation idéale
L'appartement est idéalement situé, en plein coeur de la vieille ville. Le parking -si on en a besoin- est juste à côté.
Il a le charme de l'ancien, il est très grand, et très confortable.
Tout est à portée de main : restaurant, café, jardin public, distributeur , musées....
L'équipe est super réactive et très accueillante.

Two days in Funchal
We had very big appartment, stylish and we found everything we needed. The appartent is located in a nice area of Funchal and central to explore the town. Every question was answered and Nuria organised a transfer to the airport in the night for us. Thank you very much. If you want to stay at Funchal and like to stay on your own, cooking for your self .. than choose te Wine Lodges!
