Excellent Location
You couldn't be in a better spot in Funchal. Modern apartment with up to date amenities. Although 2 bedrooms, it is a tight fit for 4 people for more than a week's stay. Support staff are accommodating.

The appartment was perfect for our family. It was close to everything, the ocean, the shops, restaurants... The extra bathroom was very handy for a family of 4. One of my favorite features was definitely the balcony, so beautiful and relaxing. I would recommend this appartment for sure and I would definitely stay there again!

Mountain apartment Funchal
We were three adults and stayed at the beginning of February The apartment is in a superb location very close to the marina at the Ronaldo hotel end looking inland to Monte and the park area.It is in easy walking distance to the shops restaurants and other amenities and if you like to watch the cruise ships the port is literally round the corner The apartment was well presented very clean and had everything we needed for our seven day stay It has one en-suite bathroom plus a separate bathroom which saves a lot of time when getting ready to go out The hosting agents An Island Apart were very good with communications before and throughout our stay We like to visit Madeira and will stay here again if available for our dates Highly recommend to anyone needing a good base to explore Funchal

mountain apartment
The apartment is in a good position, central to most things, and lovely view from the balcony.
Easy access to apartment.
Mattresses need replacing as very thin, and not comfortable to sleep on.
Towels thin, could also benefit from replacing.
Kitchen small, no storage apart from in fridge, would not have liked to cook for a family there.
Had to buy tea towel as couldn't find one for drying dishes.
