Bordal Houses

The location is fabulous, although the house is located on a steep hill it's a short climb and well worth it. The pool was fantastic, the house itself is gorgeous and has everything you need. Susana even baked us a decadent chocolate cake. Everything is immaculately clean, the beds are comfortable.

If I had to only mention one thing, the shower head could probably do with replacing, it makes an awful noise and there's more water coming out above the head than through it. But this didn't affect our stay.

Very private, spacious, amazing pool terrace, walkable to town, great host with good communication - made us a chocolate cake!

Bed and pillows weren’t very comfortable

Almost everything about the property was perfect: it was comfortable, very well equipped with kitchen tools, had plenty of sunlight, a great bathroom, amazing terrace, and lovely garden! Susana, the host, was absolutely exceptional, friendly and responsive. Parking isn’t possible on the premises itself, but further up the street (about a 3-minute walk away from the property). Funchal and restaurants were perfectly accessible by foot, but keep in mind that you will have to pass by some hills. Although the property is located close to a somewhat busier road, the large distance between the gate of the property and the house itself ensures complete peace at night as well as during the day in the garden.

The only small minus was that there is a bit of a humid funky smell under the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom (only noticeable when you open the cabinets). Something which is probably difficult to fix because of the high humidity.

Bordal House is a beautiful property and has a relaxing pool and gorgeous garden, with fruit in abundance. The apartment was spacious and we loved the outside dining area. It is near some great bars and restaurants. Our host made us a very tasty chocolate cake - one of the best I have had. Thankyou so much.

The microwave was not working. I think that they were going to fix it. Also there was a slight damp smell near the sink cupboard. I should also mention that it is on a very steep hill. Fortunately not too far from the main road. It was good to have the workout. The general relaxing atmosphere, beautiful space and pool made up for all this.
