House With Pool - Tourist Zone (Funchal)

Very close to many amenities , within walking distance...spacious and comfortable bedrooms..ample parking ( for small car)....highly recommend

We had a really great week in a large and comfortable house. Location was very good, and check in easy.

My husband and I had originally booked a cruise for these dates, but due to a last minute change to our departure airport, we had to cancel our cruise and find another holiday! In doing so, I stumbled across this little gem. Adelino's response times were impeccable, and he also arranged our transfers to/from the airport. He was also flexible in us arriving at the villa due to our early flight times. On arrival, we had a small welcome pack of fruit, water and a bottle of wine. The villa was very clean and all of the furniture, soft furnishings and appliances were of high end quality. My husband and I do like a bit of luxury when we go on holiday, so having a bathroom each was great! We only used one of the bedrooms - the en suite one - however the other two were of a good size, and the beds beautifully made with very clean bed linen. The kitchen had everything you could ask for, once again with high end appliances. The cutlery all matched, along with the crockery, pots and saucepans etc. We did have one small blip with the hob as it was an induction hob, which we have never used before. However, after ringing Adelino, he advised us that you have to put something in the saucepan for the induction hob to work, and then regulate the temperature from there on. The automatic ice dispenser had got stuck with ice, so we were unable to use that - but we bought a bag of ice cubes, so not a major problem! The outside pool and pool area was very clean, though we did not try out the swimming pool - it was a bit cold for us! The villa is situated on quite a steep hill, so bear this in mind. We went to the nearest small supermarket - which is down the hill from the villa, turn right and follow the road down the hill. We found this supermarket to be a bit overpriced, and we were literally followed around the shop, whilst doing our shopping by the cashier! This supermarket is okay for a top-up shop, but not for a major one. For our major shop we walked into Funchal and then into the larger supermarket Pingo Doce which had everything you needed and was very reasonable in price. We got a taxi back to the villa, which was 10 euro's. All in all my husband and I had a lovely week, and celebrated our wedding anniversary in a beautiful villa, with exquisite views and luxurious surroundings. Adelino was excellent as a proprietor and a thank you also has to be extended to the cleaning lady for her attention to detail. We would definitely recommend anyone to stay!

Pictures dont do it justice. Spotlessly clean and really well equipped. Good location for walking into Funchal or good local restaurants. One of the nicest villas we have rented abroad and well managed without any problems.
