Tranquil Place to Stay
Liked : Well maintained beautiful property. Flowers and fruit trees. Very nice room with a kitchenette—all necessary utensils to cook simple meals, hosts even gave us a bottle of wine. Swimming pool was cold but in perfect condition. The second floor balcony is awesome for watching the sunset (see pics); it is very large and can be used by all guests. Very peaceful change from the Lido area—felt like we were on a different island.
Disliked : Short uphill walk from Funchal. We did it with our backpacks, but would be difficult with luggage. Bus stop right in front of property.

Fine bungalow apartments for couples
Liked : Romantic Studio has fine bungalow apartments for couples. It is located in a very nice neighborhood with adequate parking. The grounds and gardens are very well maintained and the owner was very kind to share with us some mangos from the property. There is a nice ocean-view from the four lower apartments and spectacular views from the two upper apartments. There is a patio table in front of the room for outdoor dining. The beds and bathroom were excellent. The kitchen was sufficient but not equipped for anything but simple cooking. Overall, the décor and feel of the place was pleasant and very relaxing. I would go back again.
Disliked : There was no air-conditioning, but a fan was available which made for quite pleasant sleeping. Check out is a firm 1000h.

A unique, peaceful and charming property and lovely hosts close to the city centre.
Liked : My friend and I loved this cosy suite on the ground level of this lovingly restored Quinta guesthouse. Being so close to the heart of the city, yet in a beautiful, quiet garden, with amazing views from the terrace, was the best of both worlds. Helena and Roberto were exceptional hosts attending to all of our questions and needs, even helping us to get hard-to-get tickets for the viewing stand at the amazing Flower Festival Parade, and taxis, (as the local bus was not working while we were there.) We definitely felt safe and secure in their home, and found all of Helen's recommendations for restaurants and shopping and sights to spot on. There were many small touches to make us feel welcome. Overall, we both highly recommend this apartment for tourists looking for unique accommodation with charm and history.
Disliked : The steep winding roads that made walking and driving challenging. But still it was worth it for this very special garden retreat.

The hosts, Helena and Martim went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience
Liked : The studio was very well equipped, set among lovely gardens. We had 'Breakfast in a box' which was very good, although there was more food than we could use. Martim suggested, and booked up, any restaurants or tours that we were interested in and was always available to answer any queries - and got rid of all our cardboard!!

Absolutely best class in Funchal
Liked : What a quinta! So well kept with love honoring the history of the place. The quinta was surrounded with a beautiful garden full of flowers, fruit and decorations, just loved it!
Apartment was a cozy hobbit nest, nicely&homely decorated combining old and new style and spotlessly clean. Apartment had a nice yard with sea view for own use - we used it a lot!
Above all, our hosts were outstanding—helpful, friendly, and warm like none we've met before. Thank you, Helena, Roberto, and Martim; we'll definitely return!Disliked : The pool was cold in this time of the year but very nice

I really recommend this apartment!
Liked : I think it’s the best apartment! Because of the nature, old trees, birds and bananas right at the entrance! About apartment everything was good and clean. Thanks for the vine and local cookies surprise!
Disliked : Unfortunately there was no shower gel, so you need to be ready.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful Apartment on a great location!
Liked : We had a wonderful time at this apartment. It was nicely furnished, clean, and equipped with all the essentials you need during your stay. The kitchen is basically equipped, the bed is firm but very comfortable, and the shared terrace offers a beautiful view.
The location is ideal: within walking distance of the city center, although you do have to walk up a steep hill to get back – something to keep in mind, but it wasn’t a problem for us. There is also plenty of parking nearby, which is very convenient if you’re renting a car.
The hosts, Roberto and Helena, were amazing. They are friendly, easy to reach, and gave us great tips on what to do in the area. They also helped us arrange tickets for several activities, which was a real bonus. The dinner on the last evening is highly recommended!
All in all, a perfect place to stay for anyone wanting to explore Madeira from a comfortable and welcoming base.
