We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was really well located, a short walk from everything we needed in Funchal. It even has a parking space, which is a rarity! Communication was great and check in and out were very easy. We would highly recommend both the apartment and An Island Apart and would definitey stay here again if we return to Funchal!

Excellent place to stay

Hello Edwin,

We absolutely loved our stay here. We had a warm welcome upon arrival and the apartment exceeded our expectations.It is really more spacious than the photos suggest and the views of Funchal and the harbour are incredible. It was also nice to have a brand new shower room which wasn't shown on the photos at the time we booked.Having a parking space was a great bonus - but we'd echo what previous guests have said and advise that you only bring a small car as it takes some skilful manoeuvring to get into!The location was superb and a short walk for us into central Funchal and the sea front. A fabulous base for exploring beautiful Funchal, but also for staying in and watching from the living room as the cruise ships come in and out of the harbour. We can't wait to go back!

Hello Filipe thank you for your detailed feedback. It’s really important for us. We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay with us. You will always be welcome at our properties.
The location of the apartment was perfect walking distance to many amazing restaurants, stores, and the water and port. The appliances worked out great for us, we made dinner multiple nights, and the balcony had amazing views. The parking was tight but doable, recommend a smaller car.

Modern Apartment with super View
Check-in and check-out were done digitally in advance, everything was super organized. The keys were handed over to us personally and we were shown the apartment. The late arrival of our plane was fortunately no problem. Our very friendly contact person was also available during the trip in Funchal. The apartment is nice and modern and fully equipped. There are 2 balconies, but we only used the one with sea view. From there you can also watch the cruise ships coming in and out.
The apartment on the 5th floor is super located, away from the hotel zone. Your street crosses a pedestrian street where there are numerous restaurants. We felt very comfortable there.

Rauhallinen ja siisti asunto. Hyvä näköala. Palaaminen asuntoon oli joskus hiukan raskasta, mäki oli pitkä ja raskas.
