We stayed for 8 nights and were extremely sad to leave! This place is in a great location (the hill up from town is not that bad) and you can easily walk into the centre of Funchal within 10 minutes. The kitchen is large, with everything you need to cook, and the rooms are big with lots of storage space. Breakfast was simple, with bread, butter, cheese, and coffee/tea. The owners are extremely kind, and work hard to keep the place extra clean! There is a beautiful dog named Zeus on the property who brings extra joy to your stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at this appartment! The view is even better than on the photos, which was a pleasant surprise, because it was our main reason to choose this appartment. The place is spacious with plenty of room and the balcony is enjoyable. The location of the appartment is fine especially if you rent a car it takes 12 min to get to the center of Funchal and good connection to other sightseeing places. The host was very friendly and helpful which we appreciate much. We really would like to come back there again

The property was new I was the first person to stay in the apartment. It was very modern and very clean. The location is perfect with everything in Funchal just a short walk away. The owner was very polite and helpful with everything. The property had everything you needed from T.V, and wi-fi, kitchenette to walk in shower and a lift to all floors. I had a late return flight and I was given a late checkout at no extra charge, nice touch. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Madeira.

This hotel is ideally located at the lido and only a few mins walk from Funchal center so it's a super place to stay. The facilities are top notch and the staff are simply amazing! which makes it an extra special stay. It has more of a five star feel about it. Breakfast was a superb buffet and the evening dinners were delicious. The beds are so comfortable with memory foam layer. There's so much to recommend and we will definitely stay here again next time we visit Madeira.

The facilities were comfortable, clean and very well located. What was most outstanding however was the service. Joao (the hostel owner) went out of his way to ensure we had a fantastic trip. He took us on tours, secured our travel and rentals, and even parked our car when we had trouble on the steep funchal roads! When my partner fell ill he took great care of us and made sure we were fine. If you want to experience the best of Madeira don’t hesitate to stay here!

The house itself is very beautiful. The accommodation is very spacious in fact we only occupied half of the property! It is set up a mountain quite some distance from the centre of Funchal. This means that is very quiet and there are good veiws over the sea. We spent a lot of time watching lizards and taking in the beautiful views. Martim our host was also very accommodating with the check out time and arranged a taxi to the airport for us which arrived promptly.

This hotel was an excellent choice for our stay in Funchal. The location is great, close to the old town, restaurants and the main bus stops. The design is beautiful: modern but also maintaining details of the original building. The staff was polite and helpful, the room was big enough, clean, with a confortable bed. The rooftop pool and hot tub are a dream for a relacing afternoon. We surely will return to Madeira and we plan to stay again at Castanheiro.

We’ve just got back from a fabulous trip to Madeira. This apartment was clean and beautifully presented, as well as being situated in an ideal location in the old town. It couldn’t really have been a better location for the price. The host Sara was lovely, welcoming and would go out of her way to accommodate you. Shops and nice restaurants are in close proximity. Would also recommend visiting Mozart restaurant if you stay here. Would definitely recommend!!

Beautiful property with lovely views over Ocean. Close to Old Town and Marina areas. Lots of eateties and shops close by. Local bread and wines fab. Well equipped home with everything we needed. Secure entrance and lift up to 5th floor. Huge balcony with sun all morning linking lounge and two bedrooms. Masses of storage in bedrooms. Photos do not do it justice. Highly recommended. We will book again if we ever return to Madeira.

First flight got turned back due to unable to land. The hotel managers and staff were very nice to cancel the two nights we couldn’t make down there. When we arrived from 2nd flight, it got delayed again (arrived 1am)and the staff was helpful in directing how we should park the car and get us to our room as quickly as possible. Hotel is very managed from all aspects including towel changing for the pools.

We stayed in the apartment with terrace, it was very spacious and equipped with everything we needed. It’s centrally located in the old town of Funchal and only a couple of minutes walk from the cable car, the Mercado dos Lavradores and the Sao Tiago Fort (which by the way have a lovely restaurant). I highly recommend the Welcome Madeira Apartments! :)

Location was in the heart of the old town Everything was on our doorstep, especially dining. Our host Veronica was exceptional. She looked after our every need. She could not have been more helpful. Room was larger than expected. Hotel was comfortable and clean. Excellent value for money. When we revisit Madeira, this is the hotel we will use.

The apartment has the best view over the ocean and part of the city. It is clean, nicely furnished and great wifi. The location has everything you need close and there is a bus to the beach and Funchal right in front of the building. If you are staying in Madeira plan to rent a car which the owner of the apartment will help you with.

The location was perfect , walking distance to all the points of interest, excellent breakfast, very clean room with everyday room service ,free parking for our car, and above all the owners of the hotel so friendly and caring about us that made our stay in Funchal unforgettable. Efharisto poly Umberto and family

The location in Old town is great, close to restaurants and shops, garden is nice, the place is large enough and has all needed for even a long stay. Communication is easy. I highly recommend this accomodation.

The location , the staff especially Carolina and Dalia . Everything was amazing from the moment I arrived till the moment I left . Definitely I will back to madeira and 29 madeira Hostel .

Absolutely loved evening about this hotel in Madeira and I would certainly return and stay there again...

Margarida it’s a really nice person and helps us to be on the best places on Madeira.

Amazing staff. The young beautiful woman who welcomed us and had arranged an early check in ahead of time was a superb ambassador. The staff in general are outgoing, friendly and personable. We were right above one of the most popular ice cream places in town so there was noise in the evening but it didn't bother us--actually it was superb people watching, and you see the warms social interactions of the Madeira locals below. We thought the breakfast was perfect--you can ask the chefs to make you sausages or special eggs. Try the super healthy baked treats. At first glance the room seemed a bit small but with the balcony and sea/island view it all proved otherwise. The restaurant below is very good. If the PR team ever wanted to believe in two crazy individuals with creative PR ideas for your hotel just let us know! We can see so many possibilities.

Great spa. Fantastic food - loved breakfast
