About this property

☀️One bedroom Downtown apartment with Balcony, by Farmers' Market in Zona Velha!

✨Clean, modern, and fully equipped apartment with balcony, for a perfect stay in Funchal.
Besides its central location, its highlight is a great balcony to relax while enjoying a great Madeira wine ☀️
Located in Zona Velha, you will really love to stay within walking distance of Funchal's cable car, Santa Maria street, and the farmer's market ⭐
Also within walking distance, you will have the city centre, marina, coastline, bus, and all services: restaurants, cafés, supermarket, and pharmacy

1️⃣LIVING: Lovely apartment on the beautiful island of Madeira, comfortable for up to 3 guests (2 in the double bed and 1 in the sofabed), having a perfect location right in the heart of the old town of Funchal.❤️
The bed sizes are 140x190cm and 120x195cm (sofabed).

2️⃣CAR PARKING: There is a public parking lot in the back which you can use for your car

3️⃣EXPERIENCES: Within walking distance, Funchal's best experiences:
- ✈️Transportation: sightseeing bus stop (hop on/hop off), many key-route buses;
- ⛲Culture: Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) Museum, Art Galleries, Farmer's Market (Mercado dos Lavradores), Madeira Story Centre, Museums, many delicious pastries shops, ice cream parlours, cafés, etc. within 15 minutes walking range; The Old Town is characterized by narrow cobblestone streets and the facades of old houses and is considered an area of great historic and architectural value. A walk up by Rua de Santa Maria, one of the city’s oldest streets, will take you to the beautiful Socorro Church. At the top, there is also a small belvedere where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city.
- ✌Fun: within 15 minutes of walking distance, you will dance at Vespas, or have a drink at Café do Teatro. Nightlife in the Old Town is down the block and is a great attraction where art and entertainment come together, as the streets in the area have been transformed by the work of local and foreign artists.
- ⛱️Sun & Beach: beach within 10 minutes walking distance (Praia de São Tiago)

If you want to be an easy walking distance to the market, the seaside, great restaurants, the cable car, etc., you cannot find a better apartment than this one in Zona Velma! It is a simple apartment that was comfortable and clean. Small kitchen for preparing simple meals. Sea view from kitchen window. Nice balcony with a pretty street view. I did not find the street very noisy. I would recommend this apartment for a great Funchal experience!

Perfect Location to enjoy All that Funchal has to offer

Santa Maria Maior was just as described and in a perfect location. We were minutes from the cable car and many wonderful restaurants and bars. Patricia greeted us and explained everything about the apartment and some tips regarding the area. She was delightful. Olivier checked to ensure everything went smoothly and wished us a farewell. As Americans living in Portugal I would recommend this apartment.

Good Location in Funchal

My wife and I rented this small one-bedroom apartment in Funchal in February 2023. The apartment was clean and the kitchen was pretty well equipped. The building has two fully functioning elevators. The person assisting with our check in was very helpful and even managed to secure a temporary parking space for us behind the building. The apartment is very well located near the farmers' market and a large grocery store. It is also very close to numerous restaurants in the older part of Funchal. You are about a 10 to 15 minute walk to most attractions in downtown Funchal. The only issue we encountered is that the noise from the street can be quite loud at times and can last well into the night. Earplugs are essential! We certainly enjoyed our stay in Funchal.

Nice apartment in Old Town Funchal

The location was very central in the Old Town area of Funchal, making it easy to walk to many tourist attractions, shopping, and the promenade along the ocean. The apartment was very comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. Patricia, the Property Assistant who lives on the same floor, was very helpful, and arranging a ride with William, from and to the airport worked out perfectly. Just one note for light sleepers, the street below the bedroom balcony can be quite noisy some nights.

I liked the central location, Plenty of good quality restaurants and very well stocked supermarket 6 min walk .Some people might find it a little noisy at times because the of the designee of the buildings outside, they trap sound like a court yard effect but everything is quiet after 11 pm. I would certainly stay here again the apartment had everything you would need for a short/long stay, I was staying in Jan so it wasn't overcrowded just nice and pleasant.

Schöne kleine Wohnung in bester Lage direkt in der Altstadt! Dazu noch schneller Kontakt :-)

Tolle kleine Wohnung, für 2 Personen genau richtig. Außerdem gibt es noch ein Schlafsofa. Es war alles vorhanden und sauber. Die Wohnung liegt direkt hinter der Markthalle sehr zentral. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sowohl viele Lokale in der Nähe. Die freie Parkplatz Situation ist etwas knapp, hatten aber Glück und jeden Tag einen bekommen. Würden aber jeder Zeit wieder einen Urlaub dort verbringen :-)

Great location next to the old town

The apartment is in a very central location being just a few minutes walk away from the seafront and very close to bars and restaurants in the old town. The main shopping area is also just a short walk away. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything that we needed for a relaxing stay. Although we were there in early December the weather was warm and we spent a lot of time on the balcony which was very private as the apartment is on the third floor. Olivier was great to deal with and made the booking process really easy. Having Patricia who also lives in an apartment in the building as a point of contact if needed was also a bonus. I would be happy to recommend this apartment to friends and family and would love to stay here again.

Good location but very noisy

This apartment is situated very conveniently near Funchal market, shops and the cable car. It is very well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. It is a perfect size for a couple. Communication with the owner was very good. However, it is located on a very busy road with constant traffic day and night. Due to this traffic, noisy neighbour and barking dogs we did not get much sleep during our stay.

Great property close to centre and old town

Great flat on the edge of the historic and lively Old Town, near the market and Rua Santa Maria. Apartment is in a good block with elevators and great views over the city. Well equipped and local help in the same block - really appreciated this. Agent was also really helpful both before and during our stay. Balcony was very private. Ideal place for coffee & breakfast every morning and climate was good enough for meals on the balcony every evening. Island itself is amazing with a superb climate in Funchal and great places around the rest of the island. Immensely friendly locals contributed to a great time.
