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!

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.

The appartment is big and clean, the host waited for us in the hotel lobby and she was very friendly. Kitchen is well equipped, rooms are spacious and there was also a gift waiting for us inthe living room. Thank you so much for that! Enjoyed the view, parking was free and easy to handle in the backyard, bathroom had all the neccessities (hair dryer, enough towels, lots of toilet paper), bedroom was more than big. Couldn’t want anything more <3

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.

Many young guests (unusual for Madeira!). Good breakfast. A nicer touch is a changing free smoothie all day. No music in the public areas. Lovely helpful staff. Good sized bedroom. Half the bedrooms have balconies overlooking the harbour. Well laid out bathroom, with excellent shower. Close to central Funchal. Special rate in the car park below the hotel.

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.

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.
