About the home

A spacious, modern 2 bedded apart,ment with pool, garden and views. The apartment is newly decorated and furnished and is bright and sunny. With an attractive, fitted kitchen with dishwasher, washer/dryer and microwave. There is a large lounge/diner with TV and terrace. This is a bright, sunny and spacious property in a prestigious, gated development. The development is secure, private and has underground parking, a lift, pool with loungers and a garden. It is literally only a few minutes downhill walk to all amenities so you don't have to have a car, especially as cabs are cheap. We can arrange airport pick ups and drop offs, cleaners and welcome packs. There is loads to do in Madeira including beaches, fishing, golf, big game fishing, mountain safaris, shopping, fine dining, whale & dolphin watching, paragliding, wonderful gardens, lavada walks and much more.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The apartment faces East/West so there is always sun at the back and front. Morning sun nin the kitchen and afternoon sun in the living room, bedroom and on the balcony. The apartment is only 8 years old but has been totally redecorated and newly furnished. The front of the apartment overlooks the city bowl and out to sea and the back of the apartment looks out over the gardens and beyond to the city and the sea, including the port, where you can see the cruise ships arrive. We have put in two large single, posturepedic beds so they can be pushed apart or kep together. The bedroom has doors onto the balcony and overlooks the garden.

Further details outdoors:
The complex is secure and modern with underground parking. It is literally only a few minutes walk into the city centre with the market, shops, restaurants & bars about 5 minutes from the apartment - it is a great location.
There is a lovely pool with sun loungers all around and a manicured garden.

Further details

We would be grateful if guests could arrange to vacate the apartment by 10a.m. on departure day. This can be extended by arrangement if there are no early arrivals the same day.
We would also ask for direct debit transfers if you are able. If cheques are the only option this is no problem but we would request a further £4 be added to each cheque for admin charges due to our location in Hong Kong.
These are the charges the bank levies to us to bank a UK cheque in a foreign country. We thank-you for your understanding on this matter.

The Madeira region

In Madeira there is no need for heating or air conditioning due to the wonderful climate. The climate is stable all year round with a warm, calm sea and little rain. The people of Madeira are very friendly and there is little crime. The island is mountainous and very lush so the scenery is stunning. There are botanical and tropical gardens, waterfalls and wild orchids.

“Fantastic apartment if you don't mind steep hills” A well appointed apartment situated in the older part of the town with great views across to Funchal harbour. The apartment is in a quiet location with one of the main supermarkets just a few 100m down the road and the chair lift, market etc also very close. All the rooms are tastefully furnished and there is a good size balcony that you can sit out at for your meals or to have a quiet drink in the evenings just watching the cruise ships coming and going into the port. Karen is very helpful when you book and she can organise airport transfers etc.with Juan, her 'helper' in Funchal. We have had 2 excellent stays and would return again. My only word of caution is that there is a very steep hill to get to the apartment from anywhere in the town and the road system is quite difficult to get used to around it (one way systems) so it is quite tricky if you hire a car.

Guestbook for Varandas do Funchal

The apartment was superb. We really felt at home, and loved its spacious feel and its great location, near the old town.

This is to let you know that we very much enjoyed staying in your apartment. Compared to other places we’ve rented on holiday, it is very spacious and well-equipped. The rooms are generously sized for a one-bedroom flat. The beds are comfortable, and there is plenty of space for clothes. It was good to have a proper kitchen, we did quite a bit of cooking with the excellent raw materials from the market, and I also enjoyed watching the cable cars over breakfast".

"It is a lovely apartment, refurbished to a high standard, in a great central Funchal location"..

"A brief message to say how much we enjoyed our stay in your lovely apartment. It was certainly worthwhile being met at the airport by Joao, who was a very pleasant and helpful.
We would have no hesitation in recommmending your property and should we return to Madeira, seek it out once again".

Joao was excellent - very punctual, friendly and attentive
