“High quality apartment with lovely sea view” The apartment lived up to its description. Spacious and very well equipped - there was absolutely nothing lacking. Plenty of reading matter and DVDs, ample towels, comfortable bed - nothing to quibble over at all. WiFi was wonderful. Well maintained in a safe and high quality development. We liked the location as it allowed us the walk in to the centre of Funchal, but buses are frequent and easy to use, stopping just yards from the door. There is also a taxi rank directly outside the building. Good supermarket, cinema and many other shops and cafes directly opposite. All in all an excellent destination.

“Fantastic Holiday” This was the first time that my 9 year old daughter and I had visited Maderia and it will not be our last! We went for 12 days and still have more to do when we next go! THE OWNERS & APARTMENT: The Thompsons (owners) provided an excellent standard of customer service from initial enquiry to our safe return back home. It was obvious that they cared about your holiday experience and that this was not just a business to them. The personal touches, such as organising taxi transfers to and from the airport and the Welcome Pack on arrival added to whole experience. The apartment was of a very high specification and was immaculately clean - it had everything you could possibly need and more! The views were stunning - we miss having breakfast overlooking the sea! THINGS TO DO: There were so many things to do in the area - we did three coach tours - East tour, West tour and a trip to the Nuns Valley. The scenery was spectacular and was so different on each side of the island. We also went on a catamaran trip and saw whales and dolphins. We made good use of the open top tourist bus (tickets lasted for 2 days) to see Funchal and the surrounding areas. Places to buy tour tickets are within easy walking access of the apartment, as are bus stops. There were a couple of Lidos (swimming pools) within easy walking distance of the apartment and there was also the beach - so a number of choices for swimming/sun bathing! EATING & DRINKING: There was no need to go into the main part of Funchal for meals as there was plenty of choice within minutes of the apartment. However, if you wanted to, there were plenty of buses/taxis to Funchal, or, if you wanted to eat in, the local supermarket was in easy access of the apartment in a Centre called the Madeira Forum. The owners have a folder in the apartment will all the information you should need about tours, restaurants etc; and they are more than happy to answer any questions you may have! THE ISLAND AND PEOPLE: The people in Maderia are so friendly and helpful - children are welcomed with open arms. It is a place where you will feel very safe. The island has something for everyone - young couples, families and older people. I will recommend Maderia and this apartment to all my family and friends.

“A relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings” A wonderful Madeira experience, the apartment was excellent and had everything we needed and more, ideally located, buses, taxis and shopping centre just outside the apartment. We found it cheap and easy to use the local buses to get around the island and see the beautiful scenery, the locals were very friendly and helpful, lots of good restaurants. Marie and Adrian made us very welcome with lots of useful tips and information and organised the taxi to and from the airport, the addition of the wi-fi was also appreciated - we hope to visit again soon.

“Accommodation exceeded our expectations - generous owners!” We stayed for a week in November 2011 and were greeted on arrival by the taxi driver as arranged. Welcomed to the beautiful apartment by the owner who gave us lots of practical information about getting around and places to see and eat. Amazingly she also gave us a voucher for car hire (don't expect this again!) which they hadn't been able to use. We got 3 days for just the price of additional insurance and petrol - about £50. Thanks for that random act of kindness. The accommodation is spotless and it was quiet when we were there, views are fantastic from the balcony, plenty of wonderful places to eat out, and safe to explore. Local buses from outside the block and swimming area closeby. Our first time to Madeira and we would certainly use this apartment again. Response: Thank you for your kind words and so nice to hear how much you enjoyed your first visit to our lovely island. Hope we can welcome you back some day,but regret all car vouchers now used up! Many thanks for your lovely review, much appreciated. Best Regards Rose Marie and Adrian.
