Kommunikation und Schlüsselübergabe war sehr gut Gute Lage, nähe Bushaltestelle Einstellhallenplatz fürs Auto Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber Das Bett war bequem- Negativ zu erwähnen, ist die extreme hellhörigkeit der Wohnung, je nach Besetzung der umliegenden Wohnungen.- Die Wohnung ist insgesamt etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Madère est sans aucune discussion une destination à découvrir. L'appartement de Natalia et Hugo est idéalement situé, proche des restaurants, des commerces, des arrêts de bus, de l'emblématique promenade du Lido. La double terrasse est plus qu'agréable avec une vue sur l'océan, et les hôtes nous ont indiqué les choses à découvrir, à goûter...les incontournables. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation!

Un grand merci à Aude pour son passage ! Elle a été une invitée adorable, respectueuse du lieu et de tout ce qui était mis à disposition. On sent qu’elle prend soin des choses comme si c’était chez elle, ce qui est vraiment précieux. Tout s’est passé avec simplicité et bienveillance. Ce serait un vrai plaisir de l’accueillir à nouveau !

I’m Natalia! 🌺 Welcome to Madeira, the island I hold close to my heart. Every sunrise, every scent of exotic flowers, every walk along the ocean reminds me why I fell in love with this magical place. 🌴
It’s a passion I live every day, one I share with my loved ones — and now with you! I truly hope you’ll feel the beauty and serenity this island has to offer. 💙
Enjoy every moment, Natalia 🌞
Why they chose this property
Why did I choose this neighborhood? Simply because it brings together everything I love about Madeira: the ocean, peace and quiet, nearby shops and restaurants, an exceptional climate, and a truly high quality of life. 🌊🌞
This neighborhood is perfectly located. Within just a few minutes’ walk, you can reach the sea, the scenic coastal promenade, the Forum Madeira shopping center, supermarkets, traditional restaurants, cafés, and bus stops that connect you to the rest of the island. Everything is close by, yet the area remains calm and relaxing — exactly what people come to Madeira for.
What I enjoy most is the balance between local life and modern comfort. The neighborhood is lively without being noisy. You’ll meet friendly locals, families, and travelers, all sharing the same relaxed and welcoming vibe. The seaside walks are absolutely beautiful, especially at sunset, and you can easily walk to Praia Formosa, Doca do Cavacas, or even all the way to downtown Funchal if you enjoy longer strolls. 🌅
Another thing I love: in less than 20 minutes by car, you can completely change scenery and be in the heart of the mountains, sometimes even above the clouds, surrounded by wild landscapes, hiking trails, and breathtaking viewpoints. Few places offer such a perfect blend of ocean and peaks. It’s this natural diversity that truly makes this area special.
And the climate? It’s one of the best on the island — warm, sunny, and mild almost all year round. It’s a place where you instantly feel at ease, whether you’re here on holiday or staying longer. And that’s exactly the experience I want to share with my guests. 💙
What makes this property unique
What makes my property unique? Above all, it’s the peace and quiet, the natural light, and the spacious feeling you get as soon as you walk in. The apartment is bright, fully equipped, and comfortable, with two large sunlit terraces that beautifully extend the living space. You can enjoy meals outside, read a book, or simply relax under the warm Madeiran sun all year round. ☀️🌴
What also sets it apart is its exceptional location. Just a few minutes’ walk away, you’ll find the sea, the coastal promenade, Praia Formosa, Forum Madeira shopping center, supermarkets, great restaurants, and bus stops. Everything is within walking distance, so you don’t need a car — which is a true advantage in Madeira. 🌊🛍️🍽️
The apartment is located in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood, highly appreciated by both locals and visitors. It offers the perfect balance between tranquility and convenience. And even though it’s centrally located, the area remains incredibly peaceful — ideal for rest and relaxation.
Finally, what makes this place truly special is its connection with nature. In less than 20 minutes by car, you can be in the mountains, sometimes even above the clouds, surrounded by breathtaking views and amazing hiking trails. This unique blend of sea and mountains makes every stay rich, refreshing, and unforgettable.
It’s more than just a place to stay — it’s a cozy, welcoming space where you instantly feel at home. And I’m truly happy to share it with my guests. 💙
