About this property

Penthouse apartment with air conditioning, ocean view & private rooftop terrace

This penthouse apartment (170 m2) is situated in Funchal (Reg. Nr. 24787/AL) at Formosa beach, with an amazing view to the Atlantic Ocean and direct access to the beach (there is no road between the complex and the beach: the complex is over the beach).

To take full advantage of the mild climate of Madeira island, you can enjoy the sun and the sea view relaxing at the sun chairs at the apartment double sized porch and private rooftop terrace or choose to take a swim in the swimming pool or in the sea. And if you would like walking, you will love walking in the new walking path along the sea (possible to walk from Lido to Câmara de Lobos fisherman village now!). With the advantage of having everything you need at a walking distance, you have also nearby coffee shops and a local fish restaurants just a few minutes walking.

The apartment is located on the 8th floor (2 lifts are available) in a quit 4 stars complex (Atlantic Gardens, side by side with Pestana Bay Hotel), right on the beach (Formosa Beach) in west Funchal, with no noisy roadway between you and the beach, with spectacular views, swimming pool, direct access to the beach and to the ocean walking path.

Spectacular ocean views can be seen from the apartment terrace, living room and even from the master bedroom.

Wonderful stay! The place is big and bright, and the views from the balcony are magical. The bed was very comfortable. It was great being so close to the walking path along the water. Communication with Nyara was excellent.

We've just returned from a 2 week stay at this apartment. Everything went very smoothly. Nyara is an excellent host who responded to all queries quickly and efficiently. From booking our airport taxi transfers to advice on local restaurants, we can't fault her. The apartment was clean and spacious with air conditioning in the bedrooms which was a must as the weather was very hot for September!

Family October break

We loved the location of the apartment being right on the sea front and with access to a pool too. The balconies were also a great space and south facing but with awnings for shade. The walkway up to the main town has just been destroyed by weather so it was a longer walk to the main centre but there are good restaurants close by. We had a car and it was a good base for exploring. We'd come again

Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you have enjoyed your holidays and you are already thinking about coming back! The walking path along the sea to the closest villa of Câmara de Lobos was not destroyed and along the way you have in fact several restaurants with esplanades by the sea. There is also some steps just in front of the complex to go directly to the upper main road, from where you can easilly go to Funchal city centre, with plenty of buses running on it and also grocery shops and other shops for those who haven't a car. I will be here waiting for your next visit! You will always be welcome here!

AMAZING VIEW

The description of the apartment was accurate. The layout was perfect and the master bedroom had an amazing view. At night we kept the balcony door open a bit and you could hear the ocean waves - what an experience! The apartment was clean and had all the emenities you need. Location was perfect for us. Niara - was a perfect host meeting us at the condo with tips and advice. We emailed her through out the week asking for advice on restaurants,. Highly recommend the Jeep tour, Miguel our driver was great. Loved his sense of humour!! Highly recommend this apartment while in Madeira! .

Wonderful vacation!

Clean, spacious apartment! Comfortable balcony, and lovely outdoor roof terrace. Ocean splashing right under the window! There are not many people on the beach. Also on the territory of the apart hotel, there is a swimming pool with sunbeds, but we did not use it. It is much more pleasant to relax on the terrace and swim in the ocean. Funchal city centre is a 5-minute drive away. A wonderful holiday away from the hustle and bustle! Every evening we enjoyed a beautiful sunset view! Many thanks to the owner of Niara! We will try to come back again!!!

Simply Stunning

We recently had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful penthouse apartment, each room was spacious with an airy layout.Every room was immaculately clean and stocked with thoughtful amenities that made us feel at home.The true highlight of this apartment was the expansive roof terrace and balcony with panoramic views that were simply stunning and we loved the sound of the waves. We also made use of the pool, although it was quite cool in December, it was refreshing!We found it a great area to stay, with plenty of bars and restaurants in the vicinity without the need to go into Funchal centre every day. Madeira is generally very hilly and to walk to the top of the main road, you have to climb a lot of steps, or walk along the road which is a longer way round, but not as steep! When we did walk into Funchal, there was a lovely coastal path walk that we took and we were pleased that the tunnel was open that cuts through the cliffs.Unfortunately the coastal path walking the opposite direction to Câmara de Lobos was closed when we were there, but we got a taxi there and bus back. We found Bolt were a lot cheaper for taxi’s and we believe Uber has just started up there.Nyara was a great host and was quick to answer and resolve any small issues we had. We will definitely be back!

Great spot from which to enjoy Madeira

How can you beat a penthouse apartment right on the beach with unrestricted views of the ocean and coast line. Walking here is a little difficult and requires motor transportation, either a public service like bolt or a bus or a rented car, but then if you are in good shape, you can climb a few stories along steps to the main road, or you can walk along the beach heading toward Funchal, pass through a tunnel and reach the Lido. The apartment is clean and comfortable. The building is a little old and in need of some updating, but in no way detracted from the stay. There are many local restaurants along the beach which make for lovely sunset walks and dining and drinking options. The only complaint that we had is that there is no central or unit air conditioning in the apartment, and despite being on the beach, there is not a lot of air flow into the apartment, so nights were hot and sticky. There is a portable unit that has an exhaust pipe that must be rigged to an exterior window and was able to cool one of the small bedrooms, but it could not be used for the master bedroom or any of the rest of the apartment. So my wife slept in that little room and this allowed me to wake up in the middle of the night and step out on to the balcony and watch the moon over the sea. Nyara, the hostess, was helpful and responsive and accomodating.

It was a pleasure have you as my guests and I’m happy you enjoyed your stay in my apartment. Madeira island normally has a mild climate all year round but you can feel it a bitter warmer because we have the humidity. Most of the year we don’t need heather nor airconditioning (only few days per year can be a bit warmer but never more than 25 C in the hottest days) and normally we have the breeze of the sea. Thanks for your feedback and your notes anyway. You will be always welcome here when you decide to visit us again!

The Penthouse

My husband and I have recently returned from three wonderful weeks in Madeira - two of which were spent staying in the beautiful "Atlantic Gardens" Apartments. - on Formosa beach. This really is a "Waterfront Location." I don't think that either one of us was prepared for quite such a delightful place in this idilic location. The views from the spacious "Penthouse" balcony which look directly out to sea are truly magnificent. We booked our holiday through "Owners Direct" and were introduced through e mail to a delightful young couple Niara and Miguel Figueir who own and rent out this lovely apartment and who, in addition to being quite charming were "efficiency personified". Nothing was too much trouble for Niara - each and every question asked being answered both quickly and professionally. She was tireless in her efforts to please, and to ensure that our holiday there was "trouble free". (which it was!) During our stay, a huge bonus for us was discovering that her husband Miguel is a driver in the local Jeep company "Jeep Tour Classic UMM" so we were fortunate to book an "off road" tour with him and discover even more of the delights and hidden gems of this beautiful island. Miguel is an excellent driver who is passionate about his homeland and went to endless trouble to teach us (with his excellent English) the maximum possible during our tour with him. If this is all painting the correct picture as you read it - and the fact that we have already rebooked for next year, should in itself be recommendation enough !!!!

I'm happy you have enjoyed your stay, the balcony, the rooftop terrace and the bedroom with sea view - most of the apartments in this building only have rooms facing the back (this is one of the few that has a room with a sea view). The apartment was recently renovated and the building will be renovated soon too. I hope you can come back in the future for you to see the remaining changes that are still going to happen here!

Meeresrauschen im Ohr....

Wir, 3 Freundinnen, haben alles so vorgefunden, wie beschrieben. Vor allem der große Balkon macht unbeschreibliches Urlaubsfeeling. Nyara ist eine sehr freundliche und zugewandte Gastgeberin. Sie war immer erreichbar und beantwortete alle Fragen sehr schnell. Im Vorfeld gab sie schon viele hilfreiche Tipps und Informationen. Als schwierig empfanden wir das Einkaufen ohne Mietwagen. Der Weg zum Bäcker und kleinen Lebensmittelladen ist schwierig, über viele Treppen muss viel Höhe überwunden werden...wir nahmen öfters ein Taxi, um unsere Einkäufe zu transportieren. Sehr schön kann man einen Einkauf mit einem gemütlichen Bummel durch Camara de Lobos verbinden...und dem ein oder anderen Gläschen Poncha. Direkt neben dem Supermarkt stehen Taxis. Der schöne Weg am Meer entlang dauert ca. 40 Minuten. Im Vorfeld waren uns die unterschiedlichen Standards der Schlafzimmer nicht bewusst. Vor allem das 3. Zimmer ist ziemlich klein. Eine Jeeptour mit Miguel, Nyaras Mann, gab uns wunderbare Einblicke in die grandiose Landschaft Madeiras. Es gibt zahlreiche Anbieter für Levada Wanderungen und Inseltouren mit dem Kleinbus. Nyara, vielen Dank für Deine Unterstützung.
