Staying in this apartment was a great experience end to end!
Host communication and check in was smooth. The in-person check-in is really helpful as it’s quite a large space, especially considering the building roof terrace & the parking.
It was nice to be welcomed with a bottle of water and some local food and drinks.
Wi-Fi
Here are 2 wifi speed tests I ran:

https://www.speedtest.net/result/15851431624
We needed to re-set the wifi router when we arrived, as we couldn’t connect at first. But the reset resolved the issues connecting.
For the most part, the connection was perfect, but one night (very late) it did drop out 2-3 times, it was only for a split second, and you wouldn’t even notice it unless you were on a call, or just trying to load a page. But worth mentioning.
Workspace
The desk set up here was fantastic. I’m especially a fan of the office chair which had a proper headrest. And the monitor!
If I’m being super critical, It would have been nice to fit the arms on the chair under the desk. If you are a different height to me (likely) you might be able to find some way to make that work out for you, Otherwise…
The desk set-up here was perfect! And the wifi held up for all of the work I was doing, mostly content, and video calls.
Space to Exercise
The apartment itself is very spacious, with the furniture and finish done to a really high standard. And it’s got everything you could want and need, from coffee machine to umbrellas!
There’s more than enough space in the living room, either bedroom, or the balcony to do a home workout, but you also have the roof terrace and pool, and a nice public park across the road, with lots of grass, and paved floor - all perfect for a workout. The building also has a very small gym - there’s a treadmill, an exercise bike, and some floor space - which you can access.
Accessibility
The building has reasonable accessibility with a ramp up to the entry doors, and a lift once you are inside. And inside the apartment itself there is lots of space to move a pram or chair around through doorways etc. One of the bathrooms also has a large shower with no step up to access.
This listing 100% matches the description, and when visiting Madeira again, I’ll be checking if this apartment is available!

Great for visiting the market and old town.
Old town and palace garden.
Close to the city center and right across a really nice park
Calm and quiet.

10 mins up the hill from the centre of Funchal.
You've got everything you need close by!
O único problema é mesmo o estacionamento, mas o apartamento tem garagem.
The apartment is very modern and well equipped. The jewel is the roof terrace with a pool and the view all over funchal. We spent many relaxing lunch breaks and evenings there.
The location of the apartment is great. There are supermarkets nearby, the city center is about 15 minutes away on foot and by car you are quickly on the highway for excursions.
We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Madeira and highly recommend staying there!!
There is a jardim directly across the road, grocery shopping nearby and the neighborhood is safe.
Upon arriving at the flat, I was warmly greeted by Hugo's brother, who was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. He went above and beyond to ensure that I felt welcome and comfortable. The communication with the host was seamless from the moment I made the reservation until my departure.
The accommodation itself was outstanding. The apartment was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the amenities I could ask for. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the space. It truly felt like a home away from home.
I will definitely be returning in the future!
We stayed 3 months. The rooftop and swimming pool with a city view was really lovely . Thanks hugo and his brother
It's near Santa Lucia park which our kids enjoyed a lot. About 30 min walk to the shore, 15 min walk to the main street. Grocery stores nearby.
10 mins from the center. A bit far to the nearest super market. Bus stop right outside. Lots of small shops outside. Good area.
in the middle of funchal
There are local stores, big supermarket in 15 mins walk, nice park Santa Luzia near the building, not far from the city center.
