Spoiled holiday by building work, large cranes and dishonest owners

We had to leave this property 4 days into our 7 day stay, this indicates the seriousness of the problems we had with this property and its owners. We booked only 4 weeks prior to the stay and we were really looking forward to our only holiday of 2019, we had earned it. Upon arrival they felt obliged to apologise for any noise we would hear as some “delayed” building work was going on around the property. At that point in time we could neither see nor hear any building work going on, other than a large orange crane that had been permanently lashed to the terrace of the property to seemingly facilitate some sort of building work. Upon closer inspection the crane left nearly a half of our terrace unusable and extremely dangerous to be around, especially at night with many trip hazards. We eventually used the sunbeds as safety barriers to stop us walking in that area inadvertently. The crane also impacted on the wonderful views. Look to the right and you have Funchal harbour, look to the left and you have a large orange crane! Sadly, the owner and her representatives had deceived us from the moment we booked the property. Disclosure of the ongoing building work and the large orange crane should have been advised before our arrival so that WE could decide whether it was suitable. Ultimately. the owner made the choice for us by not telling us. We had not been advised of any ongoing building work prior to our arrival and had not been advised that there would be a large orange crane fixed on the terrace. The property itself is functional. Bathroom small. Sofa is not the one on the website and is very uncomfortable. We complained several times about the building noise but the owners would not stop it. Even a categoric guarantee that it would stop on the third day didn’t happen. They were back on the fourth day and even noisier. We’d had enough. Nothing we could say to the owners would make any difference to the building work stopping, and that large orange crane was a permanent fixture and going nowhere. So, we booked a hotel in Funchal for our final 3 days and moved out of the property the next morning. We gave the owners father the keys back and advised them that we would be raising a formal complaint with HomeAway upon our return home. The owners father eventually conceded it was unacceptable and said he would refund ALL our money. At the time of this review the owners have not done this. Formal complaint has been opened with HomeAway and is ongoing.

Fantastic Funchal

We spent a week in Patricia’s property at the end June and the first few days of July. The position of the villa allowed us to enjoy the breath taking views over Funchal and the port area . All the facilities within the property was as we needed and the use of the infinity pool allowed us to cool off during the hot days. The patio area is large and spacious . We were greeted by Carlos, Patricia’s father, who showed us around the property and gave us a full run down on the facilities available. We spent most evenings at the property, as we generally went into Funchal for lunch in the old town , and enjoyed the facilities and the view. Would recommend this property to any couple that seek a relaxing and restful time in Madeira.

Excellent!

My husband and I had a great week staying here. The amazing views are exactly as per the photos. The little house is first rate - clean and well-appointed. Comfy bed. Very quiet at night. Decent shower, which is always a plus. Nice welcome pack of wine, cake, fruit and biscuits. The gorgeous terrace immediately in front of the house is exclusive to you, though the pool and surrounding areas are near by and communal, and shared by two other rental properties - so you're quite close to your fellow holiday makers. Location is good, near the old town and an easy walk to the bus station and much of Funchal. Mara and Patricia are incredibly helpful recommending restaurants, taxi drivers etc. We really enjoyed staying here and would recommend it.

Lovely apartment with a great view

The apartment was lovely and meeting Mara who looked after it was delightful, she was a pleasure to deal with. The bed was comfy (very important to me) was disappointed that the tv didn't have our basic british channels as we are not night life people! the apartment is up a hill but that is to expected in Madeira! still it was fine and an easy walk into the old town. the balcony is a good size and you can watch the cruise ships coming and going, overall i would recommend this apartment.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Lencastre

Hello, I´m Patricia, wife to André and mother to Manuel and Joaquim. We live by the sea and enjoy cooking and gathering family and friends around the table at our house. We try to cultivate our vegetables in our garden and we believe a good wine us always a good idea at our table.
Our sons love to run and ply in the garden and are always asking us to travel as we are use to traveling. We travel a lot but we always love coming back home.

Why they chose this property

Isabel´s Villa was an old support house in the centenary property bought by my grandfather which includes other houses. When he bought it, the land near the sea was to cultivate vineyards and, with time, adapted to the family needs.
The location and direct access to the sea (not open to guests at this time) lead him to believe it was the best property in Funchal.

What makes this property unique

The property is located ocean front with a stunning over the sea and Funchal Port.
Isabel´s Villa was thought and decorated to give our guests the best holidays memories. The traditional handmade portuguese cement tile that can be found in the kitchen and the simple yet cozy decoration were thought to give a relaxing environment to the Villa.
