Funchal Old Town Villa Exceptional Ocean Views 5 min walk to shops & restaurants

Safe and Clean approved. Extremely clean, modern, bright and airy 3 bedroom villa set in the residential area of Santa Maria Maior, Old Town, Funchal. Within 5 minutes walking distance to shops and restaurants. Uninterrupted sea views visible from the large outdoor areas located on 2 levels - great for watching the Dolphins. Plenty of private space for relaxing on sun beds or dining al fresco whilst watching the cruise ships passing immediately in front of the property. Modern interior updated to provide large airy open plan areas and now the added comfort of air conditioning in all the bedrooms. Large open plan lounge with sea view leading to a brand new fully equipped kitchen and utility room. Appliances include bean to cup coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, iron, microwave, fridge freezer and oven. The lounge is equipped with a LCD TV, cable channels and Wifi. The Villa consists of 3 spacious bedrooms all with king size beds and with full en-suites one of which is a wet room. Sun loungers, bathing towels and parasols are provided. Decoration is modern and comfortable with quality bedding, dressing gowns and towels all supplied. A little haven perfectly located with easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants. The property is accessed via a set of steps and therefore is not suitable for those requiring wheelchair access. The 3rd bedroom is located on the ground floor and accessible via a staircase located off the lounge. Bed linen and towels are changed weekly at no additional charge. There is the option of a single put up bed for use in either master bedroom or bedroom 3. We can also arrange taxi transfers from the airport with a reliable taxi driver (payable locally) and Mirela can book any sight seeing trips for you. Fully Licensed in Madeira License Number AL27048 with Safe & Clean accreditation. Hand gel, masks and disinfectant also provided. The house is priced based on 4 persons with an additional charge of £50 per week for extra guests. Madeira has implemented a tourist tax which is 2 euros per person over 12 for the first 7 nights i.e. 14 euros per person. This can be paid locally to Mirela who will also need copies of your passports at check-in.

Gorgeous view and location
Karen’s place has everything you could want for a great holiday. View,location,well stocked home and parking(if you have a car). The place is incredibly well stocked and great walking distance into the city itself. It was so nice to sit on the deck in the evenings that we were home to watch the sky change with the setting sun

Beautiful property
Overlooking Funchal harbour, with a short walk from the heart of the city. A beautifully appointed, spacious property, with plenty of space for 6 adults. The only shortcoming was building works to properties on either side (which the owner could do nothing about), which were very intrusive with heavy drilling and loud music every day.

Holiday in Madeira
Excellent property. I could not believe the amount of ware glasses etc. It had absolutely everything. Mirela was so helpful. Great view from the property. We felt the pull up the hill but very soon found an alternate route. Would definitely recommend it to anybody who is thinking of going to Madeira. Weather was very warm when we were there so it was great to sit out in the shade.

This is one of the best properties we have stayed in, it has everything you could possibly need, the garage is an added bonus. Location is great, there is a nice little restaurant about a 100 yards from the house convenient for breakfast and a short walk takes you into the old town. Will stay here again.

Incredible
The location of the house is perfect. Within walking distance to cable cars, shops and the farmers market. The house is fantastic, with incredible ocean views to enjoy your meals or just sit with your morning coffee or a glass of wine. We locked ourselves out one day and the homeowner returned my email within 5 minutes. Mirela was there in 10 minutes. The house has everything you need to feel like home, and is incredibly clean. Our taxi driver, Rapheal, was so nice and friendly. We really enjoyed transport with him. We will definitely stay here again when we return. Thanks Karen, your place is definitely exceptional.

The property was clean tidy and of a high spec, just what we were looking for.
we found the villa to be spacious and very comfortable. We particularly liked the Aircon and en suites in each bedroom, along with the balcony and terrace space which would be ample even if the villa had 6 people in it. The kitchen was also fully spec’d with a great coffee machine being the highlight for us. We spent most of our time outside so the comfortable outdoor seating was also much welcomed. The owners have clearly thought of everything well done to them!

Absolutely fabulous!!
Everything about this rental is fantastic. It is in a great location, it's a really terrific house, very responsive, owner, and wonderful housekeeper who was really helpful. We were walking distance from everything. We rented a car and we could keep it in the garage. We used in the car for excursions. Two different hiking locations and sights around the island. We had so much fun! Best rental ever!

Unbelievable.
An amazing villa and there is nothing you could complain about. This villa has nothing missing and much more than you will ever need. A very precise folder gives you all instructions and useful contacts.The location is perfect, near to all facilities but away from the crowds and with outstanding views. Mírela was very welcoming and helpful when meeting and continued that way all through our stay, ensuring we needed nothing. Rafael was fantastic. Collected us from airport and very knowledgable. We booked him for a private tour of the island. A great investment, he could not be more helpful. We were going to hire a car but with Rafael and good buses, was not needed. We did not want to rave about villa because we do not want it booked when we want to come back, hopefully soon.

The accommodation was very clean and enough space for everyone. Stunning view from the big terrace, where you can sit and eat on a big table. We had everything we needed. The renter was achievable at anytime. We were ordered a taxi to and from the airport. Great service. The driver was on time. We were feeling so comfortable! Very very lovely renter!!! If we come back to Madeira, we would stay in this accommodation again!!

We stayed two weeks in this villa in the end of march and enjoyed our stay enormously.The location is perfect,in the old town near the restaurants but far enough to be quiet.The sun shines to the terrace all day long.The villa is very well kept and clean,the towels and sheets are good quality. Also the villa is very well equipped,everything you might need in the kitchen you will find. The housekeeper is very efficient and kind.Airport transfers with Rafael were smooth .

Amazing villa in spectacular old town Funchal
This is an amazing modern Villa with spectacular views and facilities. We were met by the housekeeper who was very helpful and welcoming, with lots of local knowledge. The villa is much more spacious than it looks on the listing and is immaculately clean and well stocked. The Coffee machine such a bonus and we also enjoyed a BBQ on the terrace one evening. The location was amazing and very close to waterfront and in the old town where the best cafes and restaurants are, but also a little set back from the business and noise so was nice and quiet. Parking was easy as we had hired a car and a perfect base for trips out of the city. The villa felt spacious and luxurious and sunsets on the terrace were spectacular.

The villa has everything you could possibly want including tea, coffee, laundry cleaners & softeners, dishwasher tablets and tissues. The list is endless. Beds and pillows were very comfortable and everything was spotless. Karen and Mirela were lovely and looked after us brilliantly & our taxi transfers with Rafael all went smoothly, despite having to change our plans a couple of times due to flight changes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the villa.

Fantastic, wonderful, the best holidays
We had the best holidays ever! The villa was so luxury, so clean, so many beautiful details, equipped with everything. The housekeeper Mirela is the most gentle and friendly person, we ever met. She is doing her very best to serve you everything, that is possible. Just 5 minutes walk and you are in the old town with bars, restaurants directly at the seaside. We have nothing missed. The villa and Madeira are not cheap, but every cent is super investigated.

Brilliant villa, brilliant location !
Karen and Mike are great owners with really good communications and information. Finding the villa was easy and we were welcomed by Mirela who was very helpful throughout. The garage is perfect (plenty of room for even a large car), as parking is difficult given the villas close vicinity to the centre of Funchal. The villa is in a quite location with great sea views. It is very modern, clean and well equipped with comfy beds and inside/outside furniture. The location means that it is only a few minutes walk to the nearest cafe and many good restaurants, with the town centre a few minutes further. We would definitely return to this villa and would highly recommend it.

Fabulous Experience
Perhaps one of the nicest experiences you could ask for – This place has everything. The location is just up the hill from Old Town with views of the ocean and harbor. Highly recommend you bring a good pair of binoculars to truly enjoy all the activities on the ocean from whale and dolphin watching to enjoying watching the ships and boats, open water kayakers, wind surfers, and paddleboarders. The two decks are fully furnished for enjoying a relaxed and beautiful time. The furnishings are comfortable and clean. The modern kitchen is stocked for a banquet – both in dishes and utensils as well as spices, coffee, etc. Karen and Mike have a true jewel in this home. Everything looked brand new and operated perfectly. Mirela, the housekeeper was simply incredible. She made the stay a wonderful experience with all her help and advice on things to do and the local activities. If you are looking for an extremely clean, comfortable place to spend all your vacation time, or a wonderful home base for exploring the beautiful city and all of Madeira you should stay here. Better than a 5-star hotel!!!
