Eyes in the Sky

We stayed here for three weeks in February 2026 and liked everything about it. Jose and his family are absolutely terrific, kind and helpful in every way. We were greeted by Jose at entry and the apartment was spotless. The view from the sitting area is cosy but absolutely spectacular. It is the perfect coffee, beer and wine spot. There is a grocery store very close by, it is very well equipped, reasonable and the staff are extremely helpful. We often walked down into Funchal old town which was, approximately 50 minutes downhill (caution re tight roads and traffic), the bus ride back up the hill to home base is also very easy and the public transportation is very reliable, frequent and prompt. The parking is perfect, the vehicle is very well protected, and once you back into the parking spot once, you'll have it nailed. There is a very nice pizza place Mauro Pizza that is about a 15 min walk downhill and the bus ride back is also easy. Having a rental car and using this location is absolutely perfect. Access to main roads to various parts of the island is very close and simple. If we decide to visit Madeira again, this will absolutely be a location that we will try and rebook. Thanks to Jose and his family, you all were great. Happy Canadians

The location was great, you are away from the busy city centre but close enough that a car or bus journey would take 10 minutes. You’re also close to the main road that takes you around the island so it’s very easy to access the rest of the island. The view at the top is amazing and shows vast parts of Funchal and the surrounding mountainous terrain.

The parking is difficult to manoeuvre in so we ended up parking on streets outside of the venue. To be honest Madeira has a very hilly terrain so that is what just comes with the island.

Really great place to stay in Madeira with an amazing view! Without a car it is hard to stay here because of the high situated but if you want to go to Funchal’s centre an uber is about 6-7€

Very nice view, owner very helpful. Store very close and good equipped place. Very big apartment - specious. Good for 4 people.

Very far from everywhere if you don’t have a car.Parking a bit tricky but possible ( due to traffic and access through a gate). Apartment quite humid. Attic apartment needs to watch a head. Access to apartment has many stairs, if you have more bags or heavy bags can be hard for older people. No BBQ as mentioned in description, Check in is late ( 4 pm is quite late ) and check out is early (9 am ) …
