Fantastic apartment

What a fantastic place with great views and a beautifully groomed garden. Lots of homely touches. So glad we found this place, we loved it here and cant wait to go back. Worth mentioning is that the walk into town is 20 mins downhill and a steep walk back but the bus stops right outside the gate and taxi's are b/w 5 & 10 euro's depending on who you get. The access to the apt is via a spiral staircase which we loved but worth considering. Helena was so helpful and we knew she was contactable if we'd needed her. 10/10.

We will come back ...

The Quinta is a wonderful property in which we felt very comfortable during the two weeks of our stay. You can walk in 15-20 Minutes into town or the harbor and enjoy everything the city has to offer. We only discovered how important this is during the course of our vacation. There are hardly any places on the island with a larger town center. The houses are rather scattered on the slopes and the route to the nearest restaurant or to the sea etc. can be quite long. So if you want to enjoy the island's landscape together with the infrastructure of the old town of Funchal, this is the place for you.

Fabulous apartment in a beautiful Quinta

This is lovely apartment with stunning views over Funchal and its harbour with everything a couple will need for a perfect holiday. The apartment is part of an original 19th century Quinta with beautiful gardens and large swimming pool which is being lovingly restored by our brilliant hosts Helena & Roberto who were so helpful in every way even organising our airport transfers, trips out and restaurant recommendations. The apartment/Quinta is only a 15 minute walk to the town of Funchal with all of its bars, restaurants, shops and many other attractions. If walking is not for you then there is a bus stop in front of the Quinta with regular buses to take you to and from the town and a plethora of taxis also available. We enjoyed visiting the town and cable car to the botanical gardens plus a whale watching boat trip and mountain walks but we also enjoyed chilling around the beautiful large swimming pool which we had to ourselves most of the time. Overall we have enjoyed a perfect holiday in a perfect apartment and setting with perfect hosts. Thank you Helena & Roberto for making our stay so enjoyable and relaxing we shall return.

The view is real! 😍

Everything is even more beautiful then in the photos. I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Quinta. The garden alone would be worth a rave review. The pool is wonderful and I had it to myself. Even fully booked there are few other guest, all friendly enjoying the privacy. My private balcony was like an extra room where I spend whole evenings. The weather is so agreeable that I slept with open doors and could see the ocean from my comfortable bed. The apartment is lovingly put together with fine wooden furniture and well equipped. The whole situation is excellent. You have view of Funchal bay with the busy hotel complexes far away. Yet the walk into town is quick (if you don't want to wait for the bus that stops right and front of the building) and the grocery and bakery around the corner will set you up with anything you need. I would love to go there again in a heartbeat!
