Guest Reviews
- Franky (9/5): -
- Levente (10/5): Fully recommend - We had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Madeira and truly enjoyed every moment here. The apartment is located in a very good and easily accessible area, which made everything very convenient for us.
Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay.
Big plus is the free cancellation.
The apartment itself is extremely spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed with a modern and tasteful style. The bed linens and towels were clean, fresh, and felt brand new. The bathroom was also impeccably clean.
The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you might need if you want to prepare your own meals during your stay.
Another great advantage is the parking space provided by the apartment, located just a maximum of two minutes walking distance away, which made everything much easier and stress-free for us.
One of the things we loved the most was the beautiful reading area, which felt very unique, cozy, and spectacular.
We highly recommend this place, and if we return to Madeira in the future, we would definitely choose to stay here again. Didn't found the ironing table
Quite pricey but it offers for that price
- CMedeiros (8/5): ÓTIMA - Apartamento MUITO BEM situado, excelente Localização. Iluminação da Casa de Banho deficiente / Péssima (Falta de uns miminhos na recepção dos Hospedes, Nos Açores Ilha Terceira 1º dia a recepção é digna de VIP em alojamento local.
- Sebastien (10/5): - L'appartement est très calme et pourtant il est au coeur du centre touristique de Funchal.
L'appartement est vaste, le lit est immense et très confortable.
- Iris (10/5): Clean and centrally located - Love that parking was included since we had a car rental. Staff was very communicative No complaints
- Frank (10/5): Fantastisch verblijf - Uitstekende ligging, mooi ruim appartement, heel rustig/geen geluidsoverlast
- Thomas (8/5): - Great location, very clean and good to have parking. Because of the location, it's a bit noisy and also the curtains are see-through on the ground floor so the living room wasn't very usable
- Tsz Hin (10/5): Fantastic stay in a clean, spacious apartment with an unbeatable location and communication. - We had a fantastic 3-night stay at Welcome Madeira Apartments in Funchal (27–30 March). Traveling as two adults, we found the apartment very spacious, clean, and comfortable—perfect for a relaxing stay.
The location is ideal, right in the heart of Funchal Old Town. There are plenty of amenities nearby, including lovely restaurants, shops, and a very lively atmosphere, which made exploring the area so enjoyable.
Although we didn’t meet the host in person, they were extremely responsive via WhatsApp and provided very clear, detailed instructions for accessing the property, especially as we arrived outside normal check-in hours. The video guide for accessing the private underground car park was particularly helpful. There is a €40 deposit for the parking, which was absolutely fine, and the car park itself was close by and easy to use—very convenient since we rented a car to explore Madeira.
Everything was spotlessly clean, and the apartment offered great value for money. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Madeira and highly recommend it to others! The only minor issue was that the soap dispenser wasn’t working during our stay, which we reported, but it didn’t affect us and overall there were no other negatives to note.
- magdalena (8/5): - Que tenia cositas básicas para una estadía y evitaba tener que salir a comprar (aceite, sal, jabón para lavarropas). La esponja salvauñas estaba nueva. Es espacioso y amplio. Poco luminoso y la terraza estaba bastante encerrada.
- tormad (10/5): Fantastisk lejlighed med stor tagterrasse - Fantastisk tagterrasse med masser af sol fra klokken 11am og til sent. Dejligt stort soveværelse med megastor seng. Gode garderobeforhold med masser af skabs- og skuffeplads, hvilket er rart ved langtidsophold. Tørrestativ fungerede ikke.
- Noelia (10/5): - La ubicación es perfecta, justo en el centro de Funchal y con el parking al lado, inmejorable Nada todo perfecto
- Ole (7/5): - Gute Lage, sehr sauber, hilfsbereites Personal. Bequemes Bett. Sehr laut im Wohnzimmer, da das Apartment direkt im Erdgeschoss an einer Seitenstraße ist. Das Schlafzimmer ist allerdings separat, so dass man ruhig und entspannt schlafen kann.

- Raissa (10/5): Estadia Confortável e Segura - Ótima Localização - A localização é perfeita, um local acolhedor, os funcionários que me atenderam ao fazer check-in completamente educados e receptivos. O apartamento é sensacional, me senti segura sendo viajante solo. É possível fazer tudo a caminhar no centro de Funchal, para outras localizações tem transporte público quase a porta.

- natasha (10/5): Perfect old town Appartment - Lovely old town location with balcony. The flat was comfortable, spacious and clean. The hosts were absolutely amazing, really responsive and helpful. A washing machine would have been wonderful. Other than that all was fine.
- Sara (10/5): Wonderful! - Very well equipped. Great layout, with the bedroom being at the rear of the property on a quiet street. Perfect size for 2, and restaurants galore at your doorstep. Questions were answered quickly by text. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

- Iwona Lechowicz (10/5): Zdecydowanie polecam. - W samym centrum starego miasta.
Duży i w pełni wyposażony apartament.

Bardzo dobry kontakt z właścicielem.
- Eva-Lotta (8/5): Location in the heart of old town - Nice apartment - loved the rooftop terrace. Bigger than expected. Location in the heart of the old town. Great communication with the rental agency. Parking in parking house nearby. We rented both of the apartments, and the top one had very comfortable beds. Huge beds. The apartment on the first floor was bigger and three people could easily sleep there but the extrabed was very hard. When raining the bottom apartment was leaking in water.
The shower in top
Apartment had low water pressure for hot water - but common in most places we have stayed in Madeira
Central location - if you want a quite night of sleep perhaps look elsewhere but We were still surprised how quite it was considering the location
- Hannah (10/5): Great! -

- Emeric (9/5): - Location, reception, appartment, everything was perfect Nothing
- Scott (9/5): Convenient location to everything and very clean. - Very clean, spacious and private. Superb water pressure.

The bed is very comfortable and there is an extra Garderobe. Very good Location, parking near the Apartment. I can recommend it to everyone and we will come back for sure. Beach is 4 min Walk.
- Ju (10/5): Bardzo przyjemny apartament. - Super. W centrum samego Funchal. Czysto. Piękny taras. Wszystko super.
- Richard Leonard (9/5): - The apartment is located in the moddle of Funchal, wothin comfortable walking distance from everything. It is spacious and well equipped. The free parking space is very comfortable and near to the place. The staff is very responsive and speaks pretty good english. The check-in and check-out process is flexible. It is a bit noisy as it is in the middle of the city, but frok the second night you get used to it.

- Nicole (8/5): -
- Janusz (10/5): - Bardzo wygodny i stylowy apartament w naprawdę doskonałej lokalizacji. Dobrze wyposażony dom, świetna komunikacja z pomocnym właścicielem. Cena była konkurencyjna w stosunku do okolicy. Czysto. Za krótko, ale to już nasza wina.
- JEAN PIERRE ROUSSEL (9/5): - Situation exceptionnelle...on vit vraiment la vie "Funchal"
Proximité des sites. 33 marches pour accéder à l'appartement
Appartement traversant avec 2 rues de part et d'autre....TB mais souvent bruyant.
Un parking compliqué.

- Rounak (10/5): - Amazing location, spacious apartment, all facilities included, they even gave us free parking. We found 2 cockroaches in the apartment.
- Sema (10/5): -
- Samuel (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, access to underground parking, really big room and comfortable bed and heaps of cupboard space. The terrace was incredible as well. There are stairs up to the room but this didn’t bother us at all - just something to know if you have mobility issues
- Marina (10/5): Adresse à retenir - Bon emplacement, terrasse très agréable, appartement propre, bien aménagé et spacieux pour deux personnes.
Proche des lieux animés mais au calme, proche des zones achats (supermarchés, marché, etc)
Tout pour un agréable séjour.
- Moghbel (10/5): Absolutely perfect - Perfect location close to everything you need in the centre of the old town Nothing
- Sonny (10/5): Would definitely stay here again! - Great location! Very clean with great amenities and a great host!
- Péter (9/5): A perfect starting point for exploring Madeira. - It is located in the middle of the old town, all attractions are easily accessible. There is a 24-hour parking lot a few minutes away. Despite the nearby restaurants, it is quiet. The owner is immediately available, very kind and helpful. The airport is 30 minutes away by car.
- Boris (10/5): Amazing stay in the center of Funchal with parking - Erica is a great host, once it was clear we would do a self check in she sent all the information I needed. Anytime I had a question Erics would react very quickly. The apt is very clean and tidy and has evrything you need. The garage is so great and is just around the corner. The location is great since you are in the center of Funchal and yet there is barely any noise. I would recommend staying here! The bed could have been a little more comfortable but is was fine.
- Antoinette (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katy (8/5): Well stocked apartment in the heart of Funchal - Great apartment with everything you need for a few days to an extended stay! Has a washer/dryer which was very handy. Room was in the back and quiet. There's a bit of noise from the restaurant next door but nothing too bad. The apartment was on the ground floor, so no views.
- Michaela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sharon (10/5): "Little Gem in the Funchal Old Town" - We had a fantastic stay at this apartment in Madeira. The space was beautifully designed, semi-industrial with a modern twist, and absolutely spotless. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, from an iron and hairdryer to thoughtful extras like snacks left for us on arrival.
The layout was well thought out, with ample storage and a small but perfectly fine outdoor seat area. The location was superb, set in the heart of the old town on a charming cobbled street, just a short walk from bars, restaurants, and the main promenade.
The host was incredibly responsive, communicative, and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything even more enjoyable. Another highlight was the free underground parking in a secure car park—such a convenient bonus.
We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Madeira. Just a small note, personally, I found the bed a bit too firm for my liking. I think a mattress topper would have made it more comfortable for me. That said, my husband found it very comfortable, so it really comes down to personal preference.
- Sandy (9/5): Great place for a stay in Funchal - Very nice appartment, well located, very friendly host.
- Sangam (10/5): Excellent property for n perfect location with plenty of - On our request the host agreed to let us do
Check in couple of hours before our designated timing. Can’t thank them enough.🙏 N/A
- Simon (10/5): Fantastic Place - its the third time we've stayed there. - Fantastic place. Third time we've stayed there.
Great information/contact with management team - so all very easy All good. Perhaps look at a new sofa - but that's really being picky!
- Andrea (10/5): Can’t wait to come back! - Everything - location, well equipped, loved the layout, Erica was a great host! We had everything we needed and are so glad we booked this place. We thought it might be noisy being so close to a main walking street and next to restaurants but it was perfectly fine for us. Can’t think of anything
- Amsus (10/5): Lucked out on the neighborhood. - Fabulous second floor patio right under the cable cars. Great neighborhood to be in with excellent restaurants and close to main produce market.
- Linda (7/5): Good -
- Lewis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vimadalal (10/5): Exceptional - The location is fantastic. In the centre of rue Santa Maria. With all restaurants and bars close by. Best location in funchal. Very sleek, clean, modern. Ground floor unit so no issue with heavy bags. All.amenities like washer drier, kettle, iron , microwave, toaster . Bathroom very comfortable. Large bed very comfortable. The hosts are also very Accomodative and help with every query. Definitely recommend. Will tell.my friends to stay here in madeira when they visit and will.come back here if I come again for sure. Nothing.
- Helen (9/5): Fantastic apartment, perfect location. - Very nice well equipped modern top floor apartment, large bedroom with a comfortable bed and plenty of storage, good bathroom, bright open plan kitchen/lounge area including a dining table and leading out through sliding doors onto a fantastic spacious sun terrace with remote control powered awning. Ideal location in the Old Town on a quiet street that leads down to the seafront. So much close by including taxi rank, bus station and the cable car. The Santa Maria Street with the famous painted doors and many restaurants/bars only a few minutes away. Handy grocery shop selling fresh bread around the top street corner, great restaurant next door and superb friendly cocktail bar on the bottom corner. Another comfy seat in the living area would be useful.
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Janine (8/5): Great location in the heart of Funchal, every at your doorstep without feeling touristy - Great Location- modern spaces, well appointed, clean, comfortable bed Pillows were lumpy and wifi wasn’t great
- Valerie (5/5): Would like a refund. - Great location, not a bad price. The restaurant right below is the best part. They admitted to false advertising of the rooftop terrace and did nothing to remedy the issue. If the terrace room is booked, it doesn’t show up as an option and the “superior” room I booked doesn’t specify anything and so it’s been assumed by me and I’ve read reviews from multiple others saying they also got duped. It was a huge blow to our vacation because we had plans to watch the sunset there every night with dinner and wine. The staff said they were well aware that it’s confusing and that the problem exists but said there’s nothing they can do. Some of the reviews about being tricked by the terrace photos date back a year or more.
The shower also floods and the bed is stiff as board.
- Dorota (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect localization, in the heart of the Old Town. The apartment was spacious, modern, clean and very comfortable. I really recommend it!
- Natalia (10/5): Great stay - Great location, equipped kitchen, very comfortable place (also the restaurant next door is just amazing) Extremely small towels (size of my usual hair towel) made showering a bit uncomfortable
- Ana (8/5): Great location! - We really liked the location, in the center of old town, very easy to walk everywhere. We also liked the biscuits that were waiting for us. Kitchen was very well equipped! Pillows could be better. Shower curtain not long enough you end up accidentally flodding the bathroom with every shower.
- Christopher (10/5): I would definitely stay there again. - The location was perfect with the sea front, good restaurants and the bus station all within very easy reach. The apartment was modern, spacious and in excellent decorative order. Access to the apartment is via a flight of stairs. This was not a problem for us but could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues.
- Katie (9/5): Superb - Perfect location. Huge apartment. Nice little balcony. I loved the reading nook where I watched the cable cars.
Smart TV and coffee making facilities available.
Owners left some cookies and sweets in welcome basket which I thought was very sweet. Apartment came with everything needed for a nice trip. Would visit again. Everything was great.
- Arkadiusz (9/5): Best place for staying during holidays if you want see city's centre - Very good location - in the heart of Funchal. Perfect if you like to see city centre. Comfortble. Very clean. Big bed was very comfortable. Little bed was not so comfortable but it really it does not matter. There was all you need in kithen and bathroom. Very, very good location.
- Gábor (7/5): Good - Location
Cleear, well furnished and equipped Ground floor - the living room directly open to a narrow street
the entrance door do not close properly so all outside noise came inside
huge car traffic in the mornings front of the door (bad closing door 》all noise inside)
not really balcony or terrace at gound floor apartman 》 2 chairs the bottom of a ventillation tube a 3 levels building with a lot of windows of other rooms
- Hana (10/5): Absolutely excellent I will visit again - The easiest process I gain access via a key safe I could not faulty the experience
- Mark (8/5): Very good - This was a very convenient location, checkin was straight forward, and communication with the concierge was easy. As a ground floor apartment it was a little dark, and the noise from passing traffic was noticeable. One of the higher apartments may have been more peaceful
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional - Great property in a great location All good
- Sue (10/5): Loved it so much we stayed an extra 3 nights 🤣 - Location , apartment and gorgeous terrace Nothing
- Annette (10/5): Madeira is a beautiful town with lovely weather, excellent food and lots to see and do. - Beautiful apartment in an excellent location. Right in the heart of the old town, with loads of great restaurants nearby. Apartment had everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
- Karen (7/5): Good -
- Oksana (8/5): Very good -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Darina (10/5): Best location. Nice apartment. Amazing atmosphere in the old town. - Everithing
- Marek (9/5): Superb -
- Erika (8/5): Very good - The location is great - right in the center, next to restaurants. The host was responsive and gave good recommendations on how to spend a vacation in Madeira. The apartment is huge, well-supplied, and clean. The Internet worked well too, which was important for calls and screen sharing. I was convinced I am booking an apartment with a rooftop terrace, which wasn't the case: it had a photo with a terrace in the accommodation preview and I couldn't check that actually there are more apartments, and our's isn't the fanciest one.
The kitchen lacked basics for cooking: no salt, no oil.
And don't forget your earplugs: it might get noisy outside at night.
- Ida (10/5): Great stay - Great location, good isolation which is important as it can be loud outside. Balcony was beautiful with amazing view. There is no air-con, which was not a problem for us as max temp was 25, but it can be a problem if temp goes up. It is a sunny apartment so it can get really warm.
- Tomasz (9/5): Superb -
- Joanna (9/5): Great sun terrace and central location - Great central location. Fabulous terrace. Bedrooms are to the back of the property so you don't notice the noise from the bars/clubs nearby too much. The tapas restaurant next door is fantastic - we went there twice!
- Jean (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrea (9/5): Superb -
- Yentl (10/5): Exceptional - - great location in the old town, close to a supermarktet
- had all the facilities
- clean
- could ask al our questions to the owners
- a lot of storage room There weren't bad points.. But maybe you can add some basics to cook (like salt, pepper and olive oil). Sometimes it is a waste to buy these products if you just stay for a short week.
