The apartment was spotless with every possible amenity that you could want and so thoughtfully arranged. Where there could be any doubt about how to use something there were written instructions. The bed was very comfortable in a spacious bedroom with a nice large wardrobe. The view is amazing and we never tired of looking at it and the gardens have lovely scented flowers and a spacious barbecue area. The host os delightful and quick to respond if you have any questions, we were really sad to leave and would hope that we can return next year and stay for more that a week.

This was a fabulous villa with an incredibly nice and welcoming hostess. Filomena was a great hostess. She arranged for our transportation to the villa from the airport and met us there the first night to greet us and gave us lots of helpful tips to make our stay better. It has a beautiful view and is in a quiet location. Highly recommended!

Best Holiday Home Rental in Madeira

My friend and I thoroughly loved our stay in Filomena's apartment. It was clean and comfortable, we had everything we needed for a cosy stay. Most things turned out better than in the pictures, particularly the spectacular view of Funchal! (You can also see Ronaldo's house if you know where to look) We'll be back in Madeira again and will return to stay at Filomena's perfect apartment!

Filomena is very pleasant and accommodating host. We very much enjoyed our stay, the Toboggan, Pico arreeira at sunrise. A meal at Williams and the 90degree fro sunset. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Amazing views

The apartment is located in an upscale area overlooking Funchal. The grounds seem like a botanical garden with walking paths and sitting areas. We did not have a car and there are no restaurants within walking distance. However the bus stop is just around the corner and it was fun to go into Funchal, spend the day, then return to the beautiful setting. We loved our stay and would book again.

Floating over Funchal

We very much enjoyed one week at Ornela's house. Ornela is wonderful host. Her house is very comfortable. It offers all we needed. The bright living and bed rooms are connected by a balcony that gives this wonderful unobstructed view over Funchal and the harbor.The location on the hillside outside Funchal turned out to be an excellent starting point for our activities. Funchal, Sao Lorenco, Pico Areeiro or the towns in the north are easy to reach by car. Even a trip to the west is convenient with ER101 close to the house.

High up in Funchal with great views

Although it was a distance from the city centre, the apartment's huge panoramic windows and balcony provided amazing views. It was a nice break from the busy city. We were very high up and a few times in the clouds. We did well taking city buses for a short ride down to the city just about every day. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our host Filomena was very helpful, warm and friendly. A great way to experience Funchal!

Simply fantastic

This is an amazing place! Stunning views from the huge balcony, but also from the living room and the two bedrooms (you don't even have to get out of bed!). Carefully tended terraced garden with so many plants to discover and nice places to sit down and enjoy. Also the apartment interior very beautiful, bright colours, nice details like for instance a vase of strelitzia on the table or a wooden old box with games. You will even find good binoculars. Filomena is a wonderful host - always there when you need her, very friendly and committed, you could not feel more welcome. Thanks so much for this extraordinary stay! We will for sure return some day (hopefully soon)!

We would make the same choice again

Fantastic views of the ocean, the city and the hills above no matter whether you're inside or outside. Very well equipped kitchen. Nice welcome from Filomena who was there to show us around and makke us feel at home. We stayed there the first week of March and it was sometimes quite chilli in the apartment which has no heating. Instead there is a small transportable radiator but of course you can only have that in one room at a time. In spite of this we loved staying there and we'll want to stay there again if or when we go to back to Madeira.

Nice apartment with great views

Spacious apartment with 2 good size bedrooms and spacious kitchen/ diner. Well equipped kitchen and lovely terraced garden. The apartment is the middle of 3 apartments of a large house, it's located in quiet residential area about 5 km from Funchal in the hills. Great views of Funchal and harbour from the balcony which is west facing so you don't get the sun til later in the day. There is also a pleasant BBQ area to relax in. There is a bit of road noise from the motor way. I would recommend a car - there's easy on street parking there are also buses into Funchal a short walk away. Filomena was very helpful and communicative, there's lots of books leaflets etc on walks and visits. We really enjoyed our stay - thank you Filomena !

Do not miss out!

Wow! This place was the highlight of our two-month stay in Portugal. The pictures do not do it justice! Amazing views of the city of Funchal from the hills of São Gonçalo, yet only a short drive into downtown (accessible by bus, but car is recommended). The property grounds have a wonderful garden. The apartment is fully stocked with everything you might need. Fantastic water pressure in the shower. Filomena was an incredible host who went above and beyond to make sure that we were welcome and comfortable. We arrived with an injured knee and she made sure that we were well taken care of and knew how to access the hospital system. 10/10 for us and would stay here again in a heartbeat. We are already missing the amazing sunsets visible from every room!

AMAZING Sunset View of Funchal and the Island

The views and the breeze from the apartment were stellar. The apartment itself is a little funky but we had everything we needed. We LOVED the full-on views from the living room and bedrooms and the gardens all around . We very much appreciated the washer and dryer! Sadly, we couldn't sleep with the patio doors open for the fresh air because way down below is a highway with motorcycles racing in the middle of the night and my husband is sensitive to noise when sleeping. Filomena sometimes took a bit to respond but she was helpful and I really appreciated that she made a haircut appointment for me with a good stylist during our stay which was badly needed. The apartment is up multiple steep hills so it is not a walkable area but we found a few good restaurants close by that we drove to and of course ate in Funchal and other places around the island. The driving on Madiera is a challenge! The GPS kept lagging at crucial moments, but we learned to allow at least double the time on the GPS and did a lot of u-turns or round-about turns -all part of the experience of being on such a gorgeous mountain. We enjoyed out stay here very much.
