Our stay was pleasant overall, but there are a few areas for improvement. On the positive side, the apartment is spacious, stylishly decorated, and perfectly situated right in the city center, by a beautiful park. We also appreciated the fast Wi-Fi, the well-equipped kitchen, and the thoughtful "welcome" bottle of wine. However, several maintenance issues affected our comfort. While the original wooden floors are visually stunning, they are extremely creaky—to the point where any movement at night can disturb others in the apartment or even the neighbors. We also stayed for a full week but were only provided with one set of towels each, making it impossible to wash them without being left with nothing to use. Additionally, the shower holder was broken, requiring us to hold the head by hand, and the bedroom blinds were also broken, which let in too much morning light. Finally, despite there being a second bed, only one set of linen and one blanket were provided; an extra blanket would have been helpful as it got quite chilly at night. Despite these issues, the location and apartment layout are fantastic, and with these fixes, it would be a perfect stay.

Great property, central Funchal and easy to walk everywhere. Situated above Blandy's Wine lodge and next to a park with a cafe, so didn't have to go far for a chill out! Very comfortable and spacious, the only thing to bear in mind is that it is on the 3rd floor and there is no lift.

We came across this listing almost by chance and are very pleased that we did! Brilliant apartment above Blandy's wine lodge, very central to Funchal and we were able to get everywhere we wanted to go on foot. Despite the location it was a very peaceful and quiet apartment with a beautiful park just opposite where you could sit and relax, or get a beer in the cafe there. We would certainly consider staying here again on a return visit to Madeira. The only thing to bear in mind is that the apartment is on the 3rd floor and there is no lift.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2024
Well situated, large, Fifty stairs to climb to reach the room. Poor lighting on landing makes using keypad difficult. No facilities for leaving luggage. Comfortable rooms. Excellent view of the park. Some facilities are lacking e.g. soap in bathroom, plug in sink. Only one towel provided for each person for a whole week. Bathroom smells of drains. Very creaky floorboards. No Welcome pack until requested.You pay for the size, comfort and location but not quality of facilities. We will revisit Funchal again but unfortunately will not be staying in this apartment.
