Following very good and simple communications my wife and I were met at the apartment by the owner, Martim. Martim could not have been more gracious and helpful, showing us around the apartment and also making enquiries for us before we arrived regarding the use of the local gymnasium. He is the perfect host.

This is a lovely spacious apartment situated in the perfect location. The view out to the sea is stunning from the exceptionally large balcony which gets the sun from morning to evening. The 2 bedrooms are both of a very good size, the kitchen is spacious and well equipped. There is private parking with easy access if you have a hire car. Locally there is everything you need. Within a hundred metres there are numerous bars, supermarkets, gymnasium, and bus stops. Funchal centre is a lovely 25 minute walk away or 10 minute bus journey. Within a 5 minute walk there are 4 excellent restaurants that I would recommend, Cris's Place, La Vacra Negra, Delhi Indian and The White House. Look them up on Tripadviser, they are all well worth a visit.

I definitely recommend Martims apartment and can't thank him enough for allowing us the pleasure of spending a lovely week there. Thank you Martim.
