Apartamento Gois

Spacious self contained studio apartment with good facilities and lovely views !

At times the parking was tricky as it was busy and we had to clean some of the kitchen utensils before using them.

We spent one week here and it was really nice. The apartment is simple but very spacious and clean. There's a terrace where you can eat or sit and enjoy the day. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was nicely furnished, there's also a washing machine if you need it. We always found a parking space for our rental and if you want you can walk a couple minutes and go watch machico from the viewpoint on the side of the road. Diamantino was the best! He gave us a free transfer from the airport and even stopped at the supermarket to let us buy some things for the morning after (we landed at night). He also recommended 2 restaurants and meanwhile told us a bit of Madeira's story (even showing us pictures of machico before the airport landing was made bigger). Before our arrival he also contacted the car rental to deal with them and got us the car we needed. Overall this was a valid cheap alternative if you don't want to spend a lot and stay in Funchal.

Since the place is so close to the airport, there's a lot of noise that can disrupt your sleep, but we knew that and after the first night you get used to it. There's no oven (but there's a microwave), so if you want to cook your own food be careful of what you buy. Hot water works with a boiler, so it gets really hot quickly but you also can't shower for too long or it'll turn cold. These are things we kind of wished were better, but are not really a deal breaker.

wonderful view of the sea very quiet & peaceful (aside from the planes but there are few and it's really okey) the sunrise comes right in the room and there is sun all day on the balcony

the kitchen & bathroom are quite basic but are fine the lights are bright white, so if u want cosiness in the evening, it might be good to bring some candles or your own little lamp

close to airport when we arrived late evening met at garage by owner who showed us the way and was very helpful and had done shopping for us. had everything you need and good value for the money.

the outside of building desperately needs to be painted and does not look attractive need to have a car if staying here
