Madeira
Some seven hundred kilometres west of the African coast, Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island, lapped by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The first island to be discovered by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture, history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities, added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops, shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a thoroughly modern atmosphere.

Location was prime - we were Close & within walking distance to everything. As advertised the evenings were noisy from the bars below. but it did not bother us. Restaurant downstairs had excellent service. It was pretty warm & air conditioning would have been nice, but it did cool off over night.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the prime location and found it convenient to walk to everything. As clearly stated in the apartment description, the property is located on a busy street, so some noise in the evenings is to be expected. We’re happy to hear that it didn’t bother you and that you enjoyed the excellent service at the restaurant downstairs. Thanks again for staying with us!

Great location

The place is in a great location walking distance to lots of fun bars and restaurants. Keep that in mind because over the weekend the club next door was open until two in the morning. Luckily, we had earplugs so all was well.

Historic Funchal proper

Firstly, the location was fantastic, secondly the apartment was really nice and the manager did a great job communicating and making us comfortable. We understood that we could epect some evening noise ( the restaurants are just below the apartment) but to have the party go on til 230am was crazy. Had we been partiers maybe we would have joined inbut it sounded like the drum kit was at the end of the bed. Great location to eat out and 4 - 6 blocks to a large supermarket and Funchals historic vege/meat market. The pier is minutes away as is the cable car.ekit was at the end of and the manager

Thank you so much for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the fantastic location, the apartment itself, and the service provided by our manager. Your comments truly mean a lot to us. Regarding the evening noise, we completely understand your concerns. As noted in our listing, Apartamentos Taberna are located right in the heart of Funchal’s vibrant restaurant and bar district, where both locals and visitors enjoy the lively atmosphere well into the night. While this energy is part of the charm for many, we understand it may not suit everyone’s preferences, and we appreciate you highlighting it for future guests. We hope you were still able to enjoy your time in Madeira and would love to welcome you again!

Mrs

The apartment was spacious and clean. The kitchen was fully equipped for a week. The staff in the office were polite and helpful. The area is lively during the day and evening with the hubbub of people chatting and eating and drinking. However, there is a bar across the road which plays unacceptably loud drum and base music from late night until 2 am, which we found unbearable on Friday Saturday and Sunday. If we had known, we wouldn’t have stayed here. Such a shame for the owners of the apartment who must be losing business with this antisocial music license in place.

The lively atmosphere in the area during the day and evening adds to the charm. This also means that the apartment its located in the busy area of the Old Town, on a street with bars and restaurants which is expected to be noisier than other streets. This is why we clearly advertise this on the website so that customers can know what to expect. We hope this didn't cause too many issue and look forward to welcome you back soon!

Obrigado pelo seu feedback! Lamentamos saber que as noites foram um pouco barulhentas durante a sua estadia. Os Apartamentos Taberna estão localizados na zona velha do Funchal, no coração da zona de bares e restaurantes, onde tanto locais como turistas aproveitam para se divertir até mais tarde. Embora muitos hóspedes apreciem esta atmosfera vibrante e a proximidade de tudo, compreendemos que, para aqueles mais sensíveis ao ruído, possa ser um pouco incómodo em certos momentos. Estamos sempre a procurar formas de melhorar o conforto dos nossos hóspedes e agradecemos a sua compreensão. Esperamos poder recebê-lo novamente no futuro e proporcionar-lhe uma experiência ainda melhor!

appartement idéalement situé mais extrêmement bruyant

La qualité première de cet appartement est également son énorme défaut : sa situation géographique dans la ville. Il est proche de tout : des commerces, de la mer, des bus ... c'est très agréable. MAIS il est aussi dans la rue des restaurants, discothèques, bars. Il est donc réservé à des personnes aimant se coucher tard et faire la fête et surtout pas à des amoureux de la randonnée ayant besoin de se reposer.

Dear Stéphanie, thank you for reviewing your stay at Apartamentos Taberna. As per the location of the apartments in the centre of the restaurant and bar district, it's expected to have more movement of people and noise than other locations, specially in the evening. This is why we advertise it. Although it may not be the ideal location for hikers it is very convenient for those who seek to explore the city by foot. We hope we have addressed your points and feel free to reach out in case you wish to come back to another location on the island.
