We had a very relaxing 10 days. basic shopping facilities close by in walking distance, 3 min by car to the main highway. Enough space to accommodate the three of us but also for two adults/two kids or 4 adults it would be no problem. We enjoyed relaxing moments with Madeira wine on the balcony observing the sunset and the ocean. We appreciated having a parking lot inside the garage. 20min to downtown Funchal is ok, we passed by several times anyway when coming back from our hiking tours. We did not use the pool (our daughter found the water a bit cold) but the ocean was better anyway. All in all recommendable with no restrictions.

Excelente apartamento; Muito bem equipado; Muito limpo; Muito confortável; Boa localização; Helena é uma excelente Host

From the moment we enquired about booking Helena's flat in Garajau, she was more than helpful. She offered to organise a taxi to pick us up from the airport- lovely guy Alves who we then used during the week The apartment is beautiful, very spacious with 2 bedrooms & bathrooms -one with a bath. It's clean, very tastefully decorated, and has a well equipped kitchen with microwave, coffee maker, dish washer, washing machine....everything even down to little boxes to store food in fridge! It has an amazing balcony that runs along 2 sides of the building with sofa/chairs on so perfect to chill out & enjoy magnificent views of the sea in the distance. Helena was so thoughtful in leaving fresh coffee/orange juice strawberries/ red wine as welcome gifts.At our request her & her husband even bought fan heaters as the weather had turned a bit chilly in the evenings. She offered advice - not just the usual things about tours of the island etc but in suggesting vegetarian restaurants & even calling on our behalf to check their opening hours! Obviously Garajau is not as busy as Funchal but if you're looking for somewhere a bit quieter then the location is great as it is about 20 mins by public transport from Funchal, so you get a good view of the island on the journey there. We will definitely return!

Très bel appartement, bien situé et avec une belle vue sur la mer et les îles. L'appartement est grand et fonctionnel avec 2 belles chambres et 2 belles salles de bain. La cuisine est très bien équipée. Nous avons été accueillis tard dans la nuit sans aucun problème suite à l'annulation de notre vol.

We know Helena from our rentals, so her outstanding service, welcome and preparation of the flat was know already - and she exceed our expectations with a perfectly clean and prepared flat. Vacation from first minute. No hurry to run to get the first coffee or toilet paper - (more than) a starter amount was in place already - without upcharge. The kitchen and even bath are fully equipped. From more them enough forks and spoons to hairdryer, towels (for shower and beach) and even demakeup - all in place. There are multiple restaurants in walking distance. From famous pizza cafe to Restaurant Garajau with Fado nights. There are 3-4 bakeries for fresh croissants in the morning (some offering breakfast). A little supermarket is around the corner, a large one 2 minutes driving. The location is quite and clean - beside the often barking dogs (but this is normal for Madeira) and you feel safe and comfortable. Perfect destination to reach Funchal (5 min), Airport (15min), Ribero Frio, Machico (20 min), Canical and not to miss Pico Aeerio (1860m, 40min)

This was our second stay in this very large and comfortable appartment and again we enjoyed it very much. There are two sleeping rooms and a spacious living room, all equipped with TVs. There are also two bathrooms, one has a bathtub and the other a shower. The large kitchen offers the usual equipment: an electric cooker, a dishwasher, a coffee cooker, a microwave healter and dishes. There is also a cloth washer and a dryer. We did not miss anything, the appartment is furnished in a very modern way and well-kept. Worth mentioning is the parking place in the basement garage of the house which we used for our car. We loved to sit on the large balcony having a splendid view at the atlantic ocean. Nearby (5 minutes by foot) there are several restaurants and food stores. We want to say thank you to Helena again for the kind and fast communication, for the warm welcome and the things she had prepared for us. So we can recommend this appartment to the best of our knowledge for relaxed holidays on this wonderful island.

A well furnished modern apartment with plenty of room and wonderful views over the marine reserve of Garajau bay, only slightly diminished by the scrap metal yard below. Really comfortable, shared pool for the block, handy shops and cafes nearby. Great swimming, snorkeling, diving at Garajau, just a short cable car ride down. A great location to explore the beautiful island of Madeira and only a few minutes drive/ bus from Funchal. Make sure to try at least one of the gorgeous Levada walks and stunning mountain views.

„We stayed 12 days at this appartement. A short resume: Very friendly welcome – pick up from the airport and handing over the appartement did function very well For our first welcome there were fruits, wine etc. The appartement is very clean, well-groomed and has everything you need to stay a long time there – in the appartement and at the balcony you have sun the hole day and a wonderful look to the sea. The appartement is calm and very well situated – everything you need, you can reach within a few minutes – like the motorway access, busstation, shops, cafes, restaurants etc. We very enjoyed it to be there and we can recommend it to everyone.“

Vielen Dank an Helena, die uns sehr herzlich empfangen hat. Danke auch für das Essen (Obst, Brot, Käse, Joghurt, Getränke), welches in der Küche für uns bereitstand. Auch die Kommunikation im Vorfeld war sehr gut und wir haben zu jeder Zeit eine schnelle und ausführliche Antwort auf unsere Fragen erhalten. Die Wohnung liegt oberhalb vom Meer und so wie die Fotos es zeigen, ist es auch in der Wirklichkeit. Die Wohnung ist sehr großzügig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Vom Bett aus kann man den Sonnenaufgang auf dem Meer sehen und abends vom Balkon den Sonnenuntergang. Die Wohnung liegt in einer ruhigen Gegend. Zu Fuß kann man einige Restaurants, Cafés und Bars erreichen. Auch bis zur Bushaltestelle sind es nur wenige Minuten und wir haben von hieraus mehrmals Ausflüge nach Funchal unternommen. Unseren Mietwagen könnten wir jederzeit problemlos und kostenfrei in der Straße parken. Die Wohnung ist gut und schnell mit dem Auto vom Flughafen zu erreichen. Uns hat die Unterkunft und der Ort Garajau sehr gefallen, da dieser auch nicht zu sehr von Touristen überlaufen war. Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit und wir können die Unterkunft jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Manuela und Martin
