Funchal is a delight to wander around, more like a town than a city, with lots of museums, a marina, parks, bars and restaurants and - of course, lots of little shops to explore! At festival times, there are frequent performances of live music as well as Madeiran folk music and dancing which make for a lovely atmosphere.
The trip on the cable car from Funchal up to Monte is not to be missed, giving fantastic views over the city and surrounding areas. When you get there, you can wander around the world famous church of Our Lady of Monte or visit the spectacular Monte Palace Tropical Gardens.

Guest comments
The apartment was more than we expected - the photos looked good but the actual apartment surpassed those. Very well equipped, clean and well presented. The welcome pack was much appreciated. Set in a gated location with a beautiful pool and gardens. Easy access to Funchal with a regular bus service a car is not necessarily needed unless you want to travel the island. Excellent shopping Mall right opposite the apartment - try the take away cafe if you want a very cheap meal! Andy H - Somerset.
What a happy holiday. Great apartment, fantastic weather & a beautiful island. Thanks so much for letting us stay there, would highly recommend. Bernie from Enfield
We had a wonderful time at Quinta da Falesia. The apartment is in a great place with the shops opposite and far enough west for us always to get a seat on the buses. We hope to visit again one day. Annie and Darryl from Suffolk.
Owner profile
About the owner
Although we now live in England, we lived in this apartment for 16 months when we took a sabbatical from work. Our plans are to retire here in the near future and it has been furnished and equipped as a home rather than a holiday let.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
The apartment has a lovely spacious feel to it with lovely sea views from the lounge and master bedroom and views of the hills from the twin bedded room.
As we don't have a car, it was important to have all the local amenities only a few minutes walk away, including a supermarket, multi-screen cinema (most films with English dialogue), banking facilities and a food court. There is also a very good mix of restaurants to suit all budgets and taste. We particularly like the family run restaurants where the food is cooked to order.
It's a very pleasant walk down into the city centre which is more like a town than a city with lots of little back streets to explore.
