Sunny Getaway in Funchal

A localização e a vista

This apartment is awesome. It has everything you need for a vacation. We, a couple, stayed here for nearly a week and it was perfect for us. First off, the ocean view is the first thing you see when you wake up. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you may need and the living room has a large dining table so you can prepare your own meals. The shower is perfect with steaming hot water and the bed is comfy. There are also a washing machine and a drying rack. Solid Wi-fi via the apartment's hotspot. There are several mini-markets (Spar) within less than 5 minutes' walk. We travel a lot and this is definitely one of the best apartments we've had.

Check-out time - 10:00 - might be somewhat early. Parking is mostly available, but you need to pay if you park after 8am. There is a nice yard between the building and the beach (the one shown on the pic with a swimming pool), but it is not accessible to the guests of the apartment.

It was a really nice apartment with a fantastic view of the sea that couldn't be bettered. Facilities inside the apartment itself were very good. The location was great, right in the centre of things, near to the Lido, bars and restaurants. It was enough off the road to be nice and peaceful.

The main problem was that the swimming pool for the building had been closed down since July, which was after we had booked. Warnings of it's safety were displayed on notices at the building from last year. We weren't aware of this until we arrived. We were very disappointed as we would not have chosen this if we had known. The swimming pool is still a main feature shown on the booking page photos, however a short disclaimer has since been added.
