Very convenient location, especially if your flights are either very late in the night or early in the morning. The airport is just about 25 minutes walking distance, or about 5 minutes by taxi for 7 euros. The rooms are pretty and cozy, especially the ones under the rooftop (we stayed in room #10). Excellent price-quality ratio. If you rent a car, mind that parking is typically paid nearby the location, although is cheap (< 1 euro/hour).

I just enjoyed staying there for a night before I continued with my journey around the island. It has its charm. Simple, in the centre with restaurants and cafes, close to the shore and local market (fish in the morning, fruit&vegetables all day long)- Madeira wine and their special cake is a must to get there!

Nice clean and comfortable apartment in a great location with quick access to Funchal and other places. Kitchen is very well equipped. We could park either on the street or in the garage which has a reserved parking spot, which is convenient as the streets nearby were sometimes full.

The property was very clean and modern. There was everything you needed, including a fully equiped kitchen. The apartment is well situated on Madeira and includes a parking space. Andre was super responsive and check-in/check-out was very smoothly without waiting time.

Freshly decorated flat, close to the centre of Machico and a 10 minute walk from the beach. All very modern, clean facilities, with a vintage Portuguese style to it. Our host was lovely and very helpful! Really helped that it had a drive, as parking in Madeira is a challenge.
