We couldn't book our usual apartment, and as it
was my husband's special birthday, he got to choose an alternative,
and this apartment fits the bill, in more ways than one. The
location is perfect, as we like to mix eating out and eating "at
home". Pingo Doce is our favourite supermarket and really close to
the apartment. We like to wake up in the mrning and watch the
cruise ships arrive....the apartment gets the morning sun and has a
perfect view of the marina. There are many many good restsurants
withing a 15 minute walk of the apartment - another brilliant point
and one of the reasons why we booked here - we have visited Funchal
before and have a few favourite places within easy reach of this
place. All the amenties in the apartment are first class, allowing
for excellent eating in facilities. We loved staying in the
apartment and would be very happy to book here again.

From deciding to rent to the apartment to leaving
at the end of the holiday was so simple. Petronella was waiting for
us at the apartment when we arrived ... and we were allowed early
access which was great. She showed us around the apartment,
explained how things worked and sent a video of the route to the
bins in the garage. She gave great advice on local shops and
eateries. The apartment was far better in reality than in the
photos ....so much room, very bright and comfortable. The beds were
so comfortable, the bed linen was white and crisp. The view from
the balcony was amazing. Overlooking the harbour. We all hope to
return! We had a wonderful holiday in the apartment.

Excellent position for town and bus services. Apartment is
spacious and well equipped with great views from all areas. The
balcony only has space for two which was enough for us. A visitor
book would have been useful for local recommendations.

. Great communication and an excellent location in the centre of
Funchal . Petronella is a joy to deal with . Highly recommend .

Perfect location
First time in Madeira after many recommendations from friends.
Loved Funchal, the people, food and especially this apartment.
Perfectly located to see all the sites of Funchal and we were
warmly met by Petronella, who looked after us and made sure we were
OK after Madeira's first earthquake for many years! Quite an
experience. We will definitely return.

Excellent location!
Petronella Marina Apartment is walking distance to the city
center, restaurants, and shopping. It is especially magical to be
in Madeira during Christmas time, all of Funchal is decorated so
beautiful. The view from the apartment is wonderful with cruise
coming in and out everyday. The apartment is very clean and
spacious. We had a wonderful stay and cannot wait to come back for
another visit.

Lovely Quiet Apartment Right in the Centre
It might appear to be a contradiction but this is a quiet
apartment overlooking the cruise terminal near all the facilities
and restaurants in Funchal. Modern apartment.

Perfect accommodation in the centre of Funchal
We wanted to see the amazing Christmas lights in Funchal and
decided to stay in the town instead of our usual holiday hotel
choice and we couldn't have chosen better, We were met at the
apartment and although we were early the apartment was ready for us
and we couldn't have asked for more. Views over the marina to die
for and a spacious 2 bed apartment just like the photos, spotlessly
clean and although we didn't cook very well equipped if you wanted
to. We will certainly book again

A wonderful place to stay in Funchal, Madeira
Very clean, updated and well furnished apartment in the
central downtown area of Funchal, with a fabulous balcony and
living room view over the harbor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
for the month of November and will consider coming back another
time. The only thing to be aware of is that this is a busy area
that can sometimes be noisy overnight, so light sleepers may have
occasional issues unless you wear earplugs.

Sehr komfortable und zentral gelegene Wohnung
Wir haben fünf Wochen in dieser Wohnung verbracht. Die Wohnung
ist sehr komfortabel eingerichtet und zentral gelegen. Die Wohnung
ist kürzlich total renoviert worden und ist sehr gut gegen Lärm
sowohl nach aussen wie auch nach innen isoliert. Die Besitzerin und
ihre Schwester waren sehr hilfreich. Wenn wir nach Madeira
zurückkommen, werden wir diese Wohnung wieder mieten.

Top Lage. Sehr sauber und ordentlich
Lage und Aussicht top. Zentrum und Hafen praktisch vor der
Haustür, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Supermarkt, Bäcker) ebenso. Leider
war kein Stellplatz für den Mietwagen vorhanden, wir haben unser
Auto in der TG vom CR7-Hotel für 10€ für 24 Stunden abgestellt.
Nachts sollte man geräuschunempfindlich sein (Verkehr,
Nachtschwärmer). Geschlossene Fenster bieten hier leider keinen
Vorteil gegenüber geöffneten. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich,
Übernahme und Übergabe insgesamt völlig unkompliziert. Insbesondere
Urlaubern ohne Auto können wir das Apartment sehr
empfehlen.

Superb waterfront apartment in central Funchal
This is a fantastic modern apartment, recently decorated
in a bright fresh style. Kitchen and bathroom are both superb and
everything is spotlessly clean. The lounge and both bedrooms have
views over the marina and we enjoyed breakfast on the balcony which
caught the morning sun. Petronella met us on arrival and explained
everything we needed to know. We would strongly recommend this
apartment. The location is ideal, close by the marina, and the La
Vie shopping centre ( with a large supermarket) is just a few
minutes walk away. We used the Yellow Hop On Bus, and found it
really convenient as the first bus stop of the circuit is just
across the road at the Marina. Don't miss out on the wonderful
custard tarts which are available for take away , just a few doors
along at The Ritz!

The apartment is situated close to many facilities
The apartment is situated close to many facilities, the
cable car ride is a must. We found eating out excellent especially
the seafood restaurants. When staying in, there is a good pizza
place just below the ground floor. Funchal is a friendly and very
relaxed holiday destination.

Perfect place to stay within walking distance of the Old Town and views across the harbour
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment which was
spotlessly clean and had great views across the harbour. We enjoyed
watching the cruise ships coming and going and although there is
some road noise it didn't disturb our sleep in a very comfortable
bed. The apartment is within walking distance of Funchal's Old Town
and the many restaurants that are available. It is also situated
close to a lovely park and within walking distance to the Lido
area. We would certainly stay again if we return to
Funchal

Wonderful!
The apartment was very clean and spacious. We truly
enjoyed the beautiful view. Looking out at all the cruise ships was
fantastic. The apartment is in a perfect location. It is walking
distance to the city center and shopping. Christmas time in Madeira
is magical with all the holiday lights, and decorations during the
holidays. Can't wait to return.

Wonderful appartment - comfort, views, location
We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is
spotless, spacious and well equipped. Having a well provisioned and
full kitchen is a bonus. The views over the marina are fabulous and
the location is perfect being close to shops, markets and most bus
routes. No hesitation in recommending Petronella's
place!

Beautiful Apartment, great location, terrific view
We (3 adults) thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful spacious & well maintained apartment with roomy balcony and terrific sea views of marina and port. Central location near to shops, restaurants etc & a beautiful garden.The owner Petronella was friendly & very helpful, she even came to see us off on the morning of our departure! Would highly recommend to friends & family. We did the West Island Tour which was v good & the Tobbogan Ride is a must, what a thrill!

Fantastic!
We had a really fantastic stay in Madeira, the apartment was everything we could have asked for. Petronella was really helpful, nothing was too much trouble, even to sourcing the tv channel we needed to watch the Royal Wedding (Harry and Meghan) highlights - with a glass of Rosé wine (of course). The views from the apartment were lovely and relaxing. Madeira itself is the most beautiful island, the people are so..... nice and you can’t help but feel safe!! The apartment is smack bang in the centre of Funchal, it’s location is absolutely brilliant. There is loads to do here and it’s on your doorstep. We completed a free walking tour of Funchal, did a jeep day out, had afternoon tea at Reid’s Hotel and walked the Lavadas - absolutely the best time!! Stay here you won’t be disappointed!

Splendid Apartment!
Splendid apartment overlooking the Marina in Funchal. The views from the apartment were amazing! The apartment itself was comprehensively equipped with quality items and very comfortable. The approach from Rua Arriaga could not have been more convenient. Immediately after our return home we tried to rebook the apartment for next year and were very disappointed to find it had already been taken for the weeks we wanted.

Lovely apartment in an ideal position
Clean, smart and very well equipped apartment, which had everything we needed. Petronella was very nice and helpful, and advised about local shopping (big, reasonably-priced supermarket v nearby), etc. Great views from every room and the balcony. Plenty of entertainment watching the boats (reinforcing desire never to set foot on some enormous cruise ship...). We had good weather and a lovely week overall.

Perfect Apartment
We thought this apartment was exceptional in terms of size, view
and location. It has been refurbished to a very high standard, The
sea views are amazing and the location is very hard to beat. Only a
short walk to a large supermarket and a flat walk ( rare in
Madeira) to the centre of Funchal. We wouldn't hesitate to
recommend it and would like to return in the future.

Just spent a week in this newly refurbished apartment with wonderful views of the Promenade and Cruise ships. Saw 7. It was on the 6th Floor but has lifts. Very clean and well Maintained. Would go back again.

Perfect choice for us.
We had a wonderful stay in Funchal staying in this clean, modern, very comfortable and well equipped apartment. We especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony - perfect for watching the comings and goings of the cruise ships in the marina below. The same fabulous view could be seen from the bedroom and lounge too! The accommodation is in a very convenient location being handy for the seafront, supermarket, shops, cafes and buses. The airport bus stops on the Avenida da Mar about 5 mins walk away - as do many other buses. The beautiful Santa Catarina park is acrosss the road and the old part of town is a short walk away. Petronella met us at the apartment and was helpful and contactable if we needed anything. We would stay at the apartment again if visiting Funchal in the future.

excellent apartment,great location with plenty of shops, restaurants and places of interest right on the doorstep.
The view from balcony over the harbour was spectacular, the apartment was very well equipped with top of the range appliances, modern kitchen and bathroom. Very spacious and we were very impressed with the top quality bedding and towels. We hired a car and managed to navigate the road system with its tunnels and winding mountainous roadways to see the surrounding beautiful scenery and to visit other towns around Funchal. Plenty of restaurants, cafes., bars and a large shopping area with a big supermarket within walking distance. The week went by so quickly, we wished we'd booked for longer, very enjoyable holiday, we loved Madeira and will definitely be back.

Fabulous!
The apartment was in a central location; there was a large supermarket just a few minutes away, with restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment was very spacious with the main bedroom being enormous and a large living and kitchen area and a balcony overlooking the marina. It was exceedingly clean and modern and uncluttered - which I like! Petronella was delightful and extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble. She had provided a few essentials in the fridge, which was very welcomed. We would definitely stay here again. We were pleased that we took their offer of the airport transfers.

Appartement très fonctionnel et service accueillant
Appartement confortable avec belle terrasse plein Sud pour 3-4 personnes. Idéal pour l'apéro. Plein centre de funchal. A proximité immédiate des activités, commerces et transport. Très bon accueil (quelques courses offertes : toujours très appréciables lorsque l'on arrive) Nombreux services annexes (transfert, locations de véhicules, conseils). Propriétaire très disponible. Un petit bémol : Un peu de bruit certains soirs venant de la rue.
