A spacious one bedroom apartment with gym, infinity pool, sea views, WiFi

Situated just 4km outside of Funchal town centre, it is perfectly located for eating out, shopping, and sight seeing. Alternatively, relax by the infinity pool and admire the breath taking views over the Atlantic Ocean and Praia Formosa beach with its walkway to Camara De Lobos.

This modern second floor apartment is fully furnished, bright and airy, and comes with access to a fully equipped gymnasium, jacuzzi, and outdoor pool area. It has its own parking space, lift access, and west facing balconies off both the living room and bedroom, espresso coffee machine, and WiFi internet access. An optional single bed is also available for a child.

Please note that we are now part of the “Clean & Safe” accreditation from Tourismo de Portugal.

Vila Formosa gains its name from the beach below, Praia Formosa, which is the main beach of Funchal. The apartment has steps (many!) down to the beach where you will find three great cafes and open air restaurants and a 2km walkway (on stilts in the sea) to the fishing village of Camara De Lobos (also with great cafes and restaurants).

Great view and location
Rented this condo for a month. Loved getting up every morning to a beautiful view of the Atlantic ocean and the west side of the island. It is well situated in the west side of Funchal with good access to the bus to downtown. Can be walked as well. Area is mostly flat. Access to various spots on the island was easy in a rental car. The main East-West highways wasn’t far away. The kitchen was fairly well equipped with a large enough refrigerator, a stove top with oven and a dishwasher. The clothes washing machine likely needs servicing, sometimes is not quite right with the latching mechanism. Several dishes were chipped and should be replaced. Good services in the area with a good grocery store just up the street, cafe, restaurants, hair cutting, car rental. Really not lacking any amenities. All and all, we loved the place.

Generally lovely apartment and area
The pre holiday communication was really good with Natasha organising taxi transfers and answering all our questions, especially about the gym area which is quite important to us. There were a couple of things with the gym when we arrived, there was no working sauna and the jacuzzi that was advertised died a couple of days into our stay, after sounding extremely noisy across the whole pool area prior to this, also on the last day of our stay the gym was unfortunately flooded. The apartment was generally very good with everything you would need for a home from home experience, however some of the crockery could do with replacing as it was very chipped. It would have been nice to have a main door key each as although we travel as a couple we do sometimes go out on our own and had to prearrange being back at a certain time to gain entry to the apartment. The air conditioning in the bedroom was really good, there was also a portable unit for the lounge advertised but this didn’t work and the lounge was very hot without it. I contacted Peter the key holder about this and a problem we had with the main door lock which was very stiff, the day after we arrived. It was however eight days into the holiday before receiving a new fan and the door lock being fixed and key replaced. ( the lock was so stiff it had broken the key fob off trying to turn it). Overall a very nice apartment and location that just needs minor improvements and updating of the website to be totally accurate.

Magical Madeira
Frankly the best holiday we have ever gone on. Apartment was in a perfect location and was well equipped, spotless and with the most incredible views we’ve ever seen. The island itself was loaded with great food, great people and great weather. We’d come back in an instant. Thanks to our hostess.

Madeira Holiday
The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The store was a short walk away. The bus can be easily accessed. Only downer was the construction work taking place between the condo and ocean front. They work long hours. But the weather was beautiful the whole time we were there. The people are nice and there's lots to do.

An amazing location with a spectacular view. The sound of the surf from Formosa beach just below the condo put us to sleep every night. A couple for minor maintenance issues were handled promptly.

Very comfortable apartment
Very nice apartment close to Praia Formosa with access to infinity pool, gym and hot tub. Pedestrian access from Estrada Monumentale using the roadway not easy with cases, but once inside access down to Praia Formosa or back up to the Estrada fairly easy via side gate by the pool.

The most spectacular sunsets ever!
We loved the location, approx 3 km from Funchal and a wonderful walkway west to a quaint fishing village Camaro de Lobos with cafes along the way. The unit was well stocked and comfortable decks overlooking the beautiful Atlantic captured are attention every night with breathtaking sunsets. The pool was very refreshing after a day of exploring.the beautiful island.

Amazing Views
We had an amazing stay, everything that we required of a rental property was provided. One point to note is that there should be more emphasis in the property description about the entrance to the property, 32 steep steps and a two section very steep driveway. The description mentions lots of steps down to the beach but doesn’t mention the steepness of the access to the property. We managed the challenge but someone older or with limited fitness would have struggled. Owner was very helpful when we were missing a key.
