Beautifully refurbished old house in the heart of the old town, close to the waterfront

This beautifully refurbished house retains some of its original period features and is thoughtfully equipped for any length of stay in Madeira, with laundry facilities, spacious kitchen and television. It is located on a quaint cobbled street in the old part of the town yet is only a few minutes walk from the town centre, supermarket, and taxis and buses, so we could easily get to other locations on Madeira. There are many excellent restaurants on the streets near the house, and the well-equipped kitchen meant we could cook for ourselves too. We could see a glimpse of the sea from the bedroom window, and the waterfront was very close and our favourite places for an after-dinner stroll. The owners were so friendly and helpful. This property is definitely incredible value for money!

Beautiful apartment with everything we needed.

This property was spotless and very well appointed. It is ideally located if you enjoy the buzz of the Old Town - which we do. It is situated just behind the Porto Santa Maria Hotel with lots of restaurants within a few minutes, level walking. Do try the bar at the end of the street (just a slight uphill walk). It has wonderful juice and coffee & you sit overlooking the sea. Most restaurants offer Tourist menus - usually soup and a choice of main course - for between 10 and 12eu. Or splash out and go a la carte with any number of fish choices. This was our 3rd visit to the Carnivale and probably the best ever. Ordered a return taxi online & it couldn't have been simpler at under 40eu. Finally, Carmo's husband and daughter met us on arrival and were very friendly & helpful. Many thanks to them both - and for the local treats.

This apartment was impeccably clean, comfortable, well-organized, and in a perfect location.

Carmo was there to greet us and give us a walk-through and background of her family history with the house. The remodeling kept some historical features, but all appliances in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry were state-of-art contemporary. The bed was comfortable, and the bedroom well appointed for relaxing as well as having a desk for business needs. While there were plenty of linens, towels, and toilet paper, we were surprised that we had to go buy such basics as hand soap, kitchen and laundry detergent, and basic cooking items like spices, salt and pepper, oil, etc. On the other hand, we were greeted with some delightful Madeiran treats set on the kitchen table to introduce us to some of the delights of this island.

Lovely House in Old Town

We were made very welcome by Carmo and her family. The house is lovely with all the amenities that one would wish for. The house was extremely clean and well looked after. It was exactly as described. The communication with the owner was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble however many questions we asked. The situation is perfect for touring, being close to the cable car and bus stops. There are many restaurants to choose from in the neighbourhood with a very convenient little supermarket and bakery nearby. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone going to Funchal to stay in Carmo's house.

In the middle of the action

Lovely property, immaculately cared for, right in the heart of old town with shops, bars, and restaurants mere steps from your door. Owner was helpful and left lots of good information. Our stay was almost perfect: Only things missing were a balcony or terrace and a view (of any sort). The mattress was a little flat / tired / uncomfortable. Still, location and appointments were just wonderful.
