Old Town Villa - Check-in and Driving Instructions

Please print these driving instructions and have them with you when you arrive in Madeira.

If you have a car and are driving to your villa or apartment, please follow these instructions. Using GPS will take you via old and less easy roads and unusual locations:

  • Leaving the airport, take the dual carriageway in the direction of Funchal (road known as the Via Rápida).

  • Leave the via rapida at exit 12, signposted Funchal/Campo da Barca

Old Town 1

  • This exit takes you into a loop passing under the motorway and to a T-Junction with a set of traffic lights.

  • Turn left at the traffic lights and keep to the left.

  • At the next set of traffic lights, enter the tunnel and drive down towards town.

  • Go across the next 2 sets of traffic lights, then move to the left-hand lane and stay in that lane.

  • Go across the next 2 sets of traffic lights, always keeping in the left lane.

Old Town 2
  • You will now be doing a 'U' turn at the next set of traffic lights. First turn left onto a small bridge keeping to the right lane, then turn left again. Keep to the right lane, and then move to far right hand lane and turn right at these last traffic lights.

  • At the roundabout, take the first exit to S. Gonçalo, Cancela.

  • Stay on this road for approximately 800 metres until you come to a red wall ahead on the right. Turn right there into Rua dos Louros.

Old Town 4

  • Drive downhill for 100 metres, you will come to a T-junction, and there you turn right into Rua do Lazareto. This is a narrow 2-way street, so take caution.

  • Continue for 200 metres, and turn into the second street on the right, "Impasse No1 do Caminho do Lazareto"

  • Old Town Villa is the last house on your left at the top of this short road, number 9. You can park in front of the garage, and we will open this for you.
