Beautiful Villas. Be Careful of Extra Charges

A lovely hillside full of beautiful apartments/villas, with great views to the sea and Funchal. The central forum heated outdoor pool is free to use, but you will need to pay quite a bit extra for the gym (very tiny and not much equipment)/indoor pool which is based in the spa buildings at the top of the hill. See the hotel website for details. We had a car, so driving up and down the hill between the pool and villa was fine, but it would be a good walk up/down the hill if you didn't. I'd say staying here, a car makes things much much more convenient than if you don't have a car.

Had a great time in Palheiro village. The villa (3 bed) was very spacious and well furnished. Only slight downside was that some of the carpets had unsightly stains. We were very close to the swimming pool and games room, and made good use of these. A car is essential if staying in Palheiro village as is very hilly and a good distance from other locations. Maderia itself was wonderful, and the the relative close proximity of the villa to Funchal was good. Overall a great stay and highly recommended.

Lovely with some pros and some cons

The Palheiro Village is a group of apartments/villas connected to the golf court. Pros - Nice option to share an apartment with friends/family instead of separate hotel rooms - Clean and tidy - Very quiet - this is not a party place (a con for some) - Amazing if you like golfing as you’re right on the golf court - Breakfast/lunch/dinner options in affiliated Palheiro Hotel which is situated at the top of the hill in a lush and quiet garden - Wonderful sea view from pretty much all apartments/villas I believe - Free and easy parking right next to apartment - Staff all very friendly and helpful - Funchal town with its restaurant etc is only an 8 min drive away Cons - Colder climate than by the coast (a pro for some) - You need a car to get to the pool, communal areas, reception and breakfast/lunch/dinner restaurant. It’s up a very steep hill and a pretty challenging walk even for a fit young person - It’s labelled “luxury” but the decor and general interior is very dated. - Sea view - but if you’re on the bottom of the village like we were there’s a big road right in front. Probably nicer to be higher up the hill. All in all we had a nice time, but next time I would personally probably opt for the Palheiro Hotel up the hill if I was looking for something quiet - or one of the Funchal town hotels for something more happening. But great option for a family.

Great place to stay!

Amazing villa's. Great service and a wonderful place to stay! You 100% need a car when staying here. We did get a taxi into Funchal at night, which the local service is very good.

Very nice apartment complex, very clean, well stocked kitchen, easy to cook your own food. Great shower, lots of towels, loved the patio. It would be very difficult without a car, the village isn't that close to anything, the supermarket is a very short drive away. Pools are nice, the one near the reception is really nice. We ate at the the golf club and the house, both are nice places to eat. The gardens near the house are equally nice to visit. We often went to Funchal with a taxi as parking didn't seem easy in the town and the taxi was only 17 Euros one way, then we could drink as much maderia and poncha as we wanted. If you do have a car parking at the village is very easy.

Amazing Views

Very spacious property, everything you need for a really comfortable stay with possibly the best view of all properties at Palheiro Village. It is right next to the swimming pool which is great given that the roads and walkways area very steep all through the village. But still very quiet and private. Beds really comfy. Only negatives were the hot tub was working but cold and we could not find any cushions for the loungers in the garden. The sofas on the upper terrace were very comfy though. Didn't use the BBQ. Beautiful leafy pergola over the dining terrace. Perfect for evening relaxation with bottle of Maderia wine. Maybe very slightly dated property but great position within the estate. Great walks over the golf course and around the Palheiro Gardens. Didn't use the spa but looked nice. Good value.

Lovely apartment with an amazing view of Funchal.

We rented a 2 bedroom apartment with seaview and were delighted to find how spacious and comfortable it was. Plenty of space for a family of four with teenagers. 2 bathrooms, dishwasher and a washing machine! The view was absolutely stunning. The apartment was also serviced twice a week. The on site pool was fab too. Car is essential if you want to explore.

Superb apartment on quiet village

A lovely stay on a quiet village just outside of Funchal. The estate is on the side of quiet a steep hillside, but the apartment was superb with a nice sea view. It is about 4 - 5 miles outside of Funchal centre, so found the car hire was much needed, although there is a local bus every 30mins which stops right outside the village. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

Amazing place, exceptional value for money

High quality villa with great sea views and views over Funchal. Just 10 minutes drive from Funchal, 20 minutes to the airport. Lovely spa, pool and other facilities. You need a car though (but I think you need a car anyway if you want to see the island).

Lovely, clean apartment, great view, nice staff

Our stay was perfect. The apartment was immaculate, the staff were polite and friendly. I could go on. Then there was the perfect view... If I was to list a niggle, our apartment was near a road. I mean that is the very worst thing I could think of. Basically, I can only repeat a perfect stay. Totally recommended.
