Wonderful 2 weeks holiday
We had a wonderful 2 weeks holiday. The apartment had eveyrthing we could need. It was clean had a small welcome pack which was lovely. Marta was already at the aparmtment on arrival and she showed us around the apartment, all linen was provided including towels for the swimming pool. Communication was great with Marta as we had a problem with the TV on arrival as it didn't work when we tried to switch it on, she came back to the apartment in the evening to take a look, and after speaking to support it needed a new tv box, which she delivered and installed the following day after contacting us first to see if it was ok to call in. We never had a problem getting a sunbed around the pool, it was very quiet when we went. My son could hear the lift when he was in bed, but some earplugs sorted that out. Other than that is was a lovely relaxing and peacful holiday.
The apartment is at the top of an extremely steep hill but is only a 10 minute walk down to the supermarket, restaurants and shops. To avoid walking back up the hill you could get a taxi back which costs around 6 euros. The supermarket is large and stocks everything, including toiletries and a pharmacy, the taxi rank is at the back of the supermarket.
We ate out a few times at various restaurants, all were very nice. There is a hop on/off bus which stops off at little fishing village where we had a spot of lunch. The cable car is only 10 minute walk away and is worth going to Monte Palace Tropical Garden at the top. On another day we took a taxi to the Botanical Gardens then on to the toboggan which is a must when visiting Madeira then the taxi took us back to the top for us to get the cable car down, it was expensive but we thought it was worth it at the time as no uphill walking was involved.
Overall we loved our holiday to Madeira, the island is beautiful, the apartment was perfect for our needs and will definitely return.
