About this property

Luxury Oceanfront Penthouse (LIDO & BEACH)

Luxury oceanfront 2 bedroom penthouse located in one of the most premium areas in Funchal (aka 'The Hotel Zone') right next to its best-know beaches & lidos and still within walking distance of the old town and the main tourist attractions.

This is a modern and quite unique venue occupying the top floor (yeah no neighbours around!!!) of a seven-story closed condo, embracing the Atlantic Ocean and offering not only sweeping views but also best-in-class amenities (luxurious private garden, oceanfront infinity pool, high speed wireless internet, smart TV, music surround system...)

The apartment is very spacious and elegantly decorated, offering 2 large bedrooms (one of which is a seaview suite with a private bathroom) with king sized beds and ample wardrobes, a luminous living room with large windows and a seaview balcony (where our guests can enjoy a perfect breakfast...), a fully equipped kitchen and a second big bathroom.

====================
The Neighborhood
====================
The location is in one of the most sought-after areas of the city, well served by beautiful beaches and public lidos (that offer the warmest ocean water in Portugal) with very nice restaurants and beach bars around, as well as a spectacular coastal promenade.

There are also many hotels nearby offering top quality entertainment and a great ambiance overall.

On the opposite side of the street there is a modern shopping mall ('Madeira Forum') with a large selection of shops, a big supermarket, a food court, a multiplex movie theater and several ATM machines.

====================
Getting around
====================
There is a bus stop right in front of the condo and a frequent bus service to the city center operating from 6:20am to 23:40pm in every 10 or 15 minutes (lines 01 and 02 heading downtown). The trip takes about 15 minutes and bus tickets normally cost 2€/person if bought on-board (or 1,35€/person if bought in advance) although there are cheaper alternatives such as 3-day tickets (11,8€/person) and 5-day tickets (16,30€/person) that offer unlimited trips.

Taxis are also relatively cheap in Madeira and, depending on the hour/traffic, a ride downtown costs less than 10€ and takes about 10 minutes.

However, if you prefer to enjoy some magnificent views then you can also walk to the city center (~25 minutes) or to the old town (~50 min) although I don't recommend it on a regular basis.

====================
Other things to note:
====================
The venue is not suitable for guests with limited mobility because of a stairway with 14 steps (2 flights of stairs with 7 steps each) leading from the elevator hall to the front door.

====================
Included (free) services:
====================
- Private secure parking space

- High-speed wireless internet (30Mbps) available in every room

Superior location - well presented and maintained - pleasant and amenable owners - reasonably priced
This is the second year we have stayed with Miguel Filipe and his associates having visited Funchal several times previously. For us the apartment is well located, adjacent to the Forum Shopping Centre and with convenient bus stops too and fro central Funchal. Likewise good local eating establishments. Well furnished and equipped with good security to the premises - all-in-all it was good to know what we were coming to and let us rest easy. We hope to be back again next year!

Not as nice as expected and awful treatment by owner
Its ok but didnt live upto expectations. Had to pay for last night and move to hotel. I said 1400 is only acceptable check out time as uk flight etd 1825 but they took money and mid stay said get out at 1200. They could have offered extra night or not taken money 9 months before stay. Would never consider again and hotel was much nicer.

A high quality apartment in top location
This 2-bedrooms 2-baths apartment is of the highest quality. It is spacious, elegantly furnished, and well -equipped. The location, with sea-view, close proximity to large shopping centre (200 meters) and numerous restaurants within easy walking distance, is ideal. The descriptions on the website was accurate, the property is well-kept and top customer service was provided. Not only would I recommend the apartment to family and friend, we have already book the apartment for another 4 week for 2017. Highly recommended!

1st class apartment with amazing views
The apartment was a class above a lot of holiday rentals, it was definitely a home from home, it was beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The pool and gardens were beautifully maintained and provided a lovely place to relax and look out to the sea, during our stay, early October, most of the time we were the only one’s by the pool. There are a number of restaurants close by, thanks to Miguel for the detailed information he sent us before our trip, we particularly liked Bombay Spice. Shopping for a few essentials was easy, there’s a large supermarket on the lower ground floor of the Forum Madeira which is within a few minute’s walk from the apartment. We walked to the Town of Funchal, which is about 2.5 miles, but there is excellent public transport for lazy days. We missed out on the Levada walks, I hurt my ankle on the first day, when we to go back to Madeira we would head straight back to this apartment.

Great location and outlook
Apartment was all we expected, spacious, clean and very well equipped. Victor was very helpful, showed us some of Funchal after picking us up from the airport & sorted a problem with the TV. Lovely walk part way into Funchal but you need bus or car to get to town centre. (Buses easy to use, buy ticket first time on bus then top up for future rides, it's cheaper that way) Suggestion for Miguel? Comfy chairs on balcony would be good! Madeira generally? You need a car to see the island, but lots to do in and around Funchal (unless you want clubbing) Chris's restaurant five minutes walk away, not cheap but worth every penny if you like fine dining, you need to book. Final point, Madeira is warm most of the year but it gets more than its share of cloud so if you want wall to wall sunshine it's probably not the place for you. Having said that, it didn't spoil our holiday. Thank you Miguel, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay Barry & Lynne
