The property owner, Sandra, was responsive and accommodating. On the apartment itself, the ocean views from the balcony were simply breathtaking. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

Our stay was for 5 weeks.
The landlord was always responsive and the front desk staff were helpful in answering questions and assisting with needs. The coffee machine stopped working and they sent a replacement. We left the keys in the apartment and Sandra drove in to provide a duplicate set on the weekend. The key to the back gate did not work to open the gate so we always had to access through the front door. Parking is sometimes an issue but we usually found a way to park either in front or on the side. A car is necessary if you want to get around since the building is at sea level and you have a mountain to climb to go up to Monument. We rented a car after 2 days from Sixt located at the roundabout by Reids
The view from the apartment and large terrace is jaw dropping. The promenade along Praia Formosa provides a lovely walk in either direction toward Lido area and Funchal (through the tunnel) or to Camara de Lobos. There are restaurants and snack bars along the promenade.
The apartment was not comfortable for our needs. It was bare bones in terms of furniture, bed, cookware and linens.
The bed was like sleeping on a hard floor and the linens made it worse since they were rough and did not fit the bed. The pillows were a mystery to us, large, full of lumps and bumps. We both had restless sleep and woke with back aches on most days. The towels, 2 bath and 2 hand should have been retired years ago. They were old and acted more like an exfoliator for the skin instead of absorbing moisture.
The kitchen was not outfitted to properly cook a small meal and most of the equipment is old and worn.
The washing machine worked well and accompanied by a dryer rack to use on the terrace.
We love Madeira and were fortunate to spend the Christmas and New Years Holidays on Praia Formosa. Ultimately, we were able to overlook the discomfort and enjoy the view.

Not well lit, very dark at night except on the Promenade.

The only advantages of the apartment are the balcony with a superb view and the fact that the building is on the beach. Apart from these aspects, the apartment is in a deplorable condition. The tile moves and creaks everywhere, it even swelled and broke and they moved us to another apartment to make repairs. You cannot sit on the sofa in the living room, it is at least 30 years old and it falls apart from any corner. The sofa and the carpet are so old and faded and full of dust that they are completely unusable and have given us a strong dust allergy. The furniture in the balcony is so old that the paint is peeling off. We had to wash all the windows when we moved into the apartment plus the carpet which was full of dust. The refrigerator in the apartment is an extremely small one, like a hotel refrigerator, totally unsuitable for an apartment or for a medium-long term rent. The doors and windows do not insulate sound at all. You can hear any movement from the parking lot and from the nearby shisha bar. The internet is not good for remote work. The collaboration with the staff was a good one.

Bairro
The neighborhood is extremely beautiful, but you need a car to access the shops.

The ocean view is breathtaking, and it's a tranquil haven. Everything needed for a long-term stay is provided, and communication with the host was easy and perfect. Highly recommended!

This is a large building with many flats. Sandra and her team is doing a good job managing it. They are helpful in resolving any issues today should arise.

Bairro
This is only as few metres from the beach and it's on the beach promenade. It's quite, but still within easy reach of Funchal.

Can't describe how good this experience was! The apartament is not modern, but it's still super beautiful, spacious, very well-equipped and furnished, clean, warm (nov/dec), functional, light and, well.. the view! Breakfast, dinner, wine - the ocean is always with you. It's your company when you go to sleep and when you wake up. And the sunset - you can enjoy it every day from your balony.
The staff is super helpful - if you need anything - Sandra or the receptionist will provide you with everything and will chit-chat with you.
The pool is always clean and you have a direct access to the ocean through the rear gate.
It was my private paradise for almost 2 months and I felt like I was leaving my own home, so it's obvious I'll come back asap!

It was amaizing stay! Madeira is a paradise island, but leaving next to the longest beach is awesome. Each mornig we waked up and go to the balcony to see the best calm view to the ocean.
The appartments is spacious, clean and comforable. Moreover what is important is that it is super easy to get from airport the bus stop is just next to the building.
We stayed for 6 weeks, which is quite a lot for us and we have everything that can be need: good wi-fi, kitchen, waching machine, table for work. Also a big bonus is swimming pool.
The owners are supper hospitable, and helped us several times with a pleasure when we need. We will definely try to get to the same appartments when we will return in Madeira next time! Strongly recommend.

Bairro
Location is nice because you can get to the Funchal center by ~20 min by public bus, and ~17min by walk to the big shopping center, called Forum.
Madeira is an island with many hills, and to get to the bus stop you need to climb the hill ~ 5 min, a little easier road along the ocean if you want to avoid hill.

You have attraction just in the area, you can walk to the neighborhod village called Câmara de Lobos, there is amazing walk road along the ocean. Also there are some nice grotto in the rock, and Lido park with many attractions close to this place.
