Garden Villa – Luxury Retreat with Pool & Views
Garden Villa is a luxury home located in a quiet area of Funchal, surrounded by greenery that creates a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. Despite being close to the city, the setting ensures both privacy and tranquility, making it the perfect accommodation for families or groups seeking comfort and exclusivity.
Accommodating up to 12 people, the property has 6 bedrooms. On the ground floor there are 4 bedrooms, all equipped with a double bed, a television and an en-suite bathroom with a shower.

The social area follows an open-plan concept, with a spacious living room and a fully equipped kitchen — ideal for relaxing moments and shared meals. A laundry room adds extra practicality for longer stays.
The outdoor space is a true highlight: a private heated pool and jacuzzi, basketball court, barbecue area, and a beautifully maintained garden. Private parking ensures security and convenience throughout your stay.
AREA Located in Funchal, Garden Villa offers a rare balance between accessibility and peace. Close to shops, restaurants, and the city center, yet surrounded by nature, it is the perfect retreat to enjoy Madeira with elegance, comfort, and total privacy.

Great place for a special family occasion
Fabulous 3/4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom villa with extensive superb view towards hillside and local white washed villages. Only a 10 minute cheap uber or bolt ride down into Funchal, although local buses also stop very close by. Outside facilities were brilliant with super modern pool and jacuzzi, both of which were heated, and numerous comfortable seating areas and BBQ area.
5 days over far too quickly due to flight delays, would love to visit again soon.
An Island Apartments staff all very helpful.

Room for improvement
Overall, a beautiful villa, but unfortunately the furnishings were rather sparse and the cleanliness was poor. The villa is located on a very busy road, so it is quite noisy. Its location behind a slope means that there is not much sunshine (only in the morning) on the terrace and in the garden. Unfortunately, the check-in coordination was not very good, and later requests were not responded to.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you found the villa beautiful, but we’re sorry that several aspects did not meet your expectations.
We apologise for the confusion about the check-in rescheduling. Check-ins are normally at 16:00, and early check-in is always subject to availability. We will review our communication to make this clearer in the future.
We’re also sorry for not replying to your request after the storm. Storms are quite common on the island, and it is normal for the exterior areas to become less clean. We do not automatically schedule terrace cleaning after storms, but we understand your concern.
Your comments about cleanliness, furnishings, noise from the road, and the terrace conditions are noted, and we will review all these points with our team.
Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us improve our service.
