Photos and Description of the Canico vacation apartment rental
Self catering apartment close to beach, restaurants and buses

Luz do Sol is a self catering apartment, with a Tourist Licence, in the sunny village of Garajau, between Canico and Funchal. It commands superb ocean views over lush, mature gardens and is ideal for a couple seeking a relaxing holiday with or without a car. Located in a secure, private complex with lifts, Luz do Sol enjoys the benefits of a large garden, sunbathing terrace and a 15m oval pool, whilst having direct access to all the facilities of the village, buses and taxis. Within a short, easy walk from the apartment you can hire a car, dine in quality restaurants, buy excellent take-away meals or just have a drink in one of the friendly cafes. Freshly baked bread, vegetables and fruit, morning papers, general supplies and banking facilities are all at your doorstep. A short stroll or a cable car ride takes you to Garajau's secluded beach where you can dip your toes in the warm Atlantic Ocean.

Levada and Mountain Walking: Madeira's centre consists of rugged mountain peaks rising to a mile above sea level. These give way to forests of juniper, pine, eucalyptus, mimosa and laurel as you descend towards the sea. The dry lower slopes are used for farming, mainly vegetables for the table, but areas are also devoted to the cultivation of vines (for the famous Madeira Wine), sugar cane, chestnuts and bananas. Irrigation of the farming areas is provided by a network of water channels (Levadas) radiating from the mountains. This unique irrigation system offers walkers an unrivalled experience in that, besides having breathtaking and exhilarating mountain and coastal trails to explore, they can walk along beside these levadas from village to village and gain a deep insight into the lives and culture of the Madeiran people.

Eating Out and Entertainment: Garajau has several good restaurants offering local and international cuisine and a wide range of take-away food is also available, all these within a short walking distance of the apartment. Some restaurants further afield will even lay on transport from your doorstep. A memorable evening can be had by taking the cable car down to Garajau beach and eating delicious seafood under the stars at the oceanside restaurant. Music and dancing are available nightly in the hotels of nearby Canico de Baixo. Funchal, a fifteen minute bus ride away, offers a very wide range of restaurants, a casino, theatre and many open air events throughout the year to keep you entertained.

About Steve and Barbara

We fell in love with Madeira about 20 years ago. When we retired we made it our second home and we now have many friends here. The climate is superb, the people are gentle and there is so much to see and do.

Steve and Barbara purchased this apartment in 2008
Why Steve and Barbara chose Canico

We chose to live in Garajau because it has a community based around a handful of shops, friendly cafe/bars and restaurants.

Garajau is such a good base for exploring the island and has easy access to Funchal. Being keen walkers we enjoy strolling out to nearby beaches without taking the car, although if we want to drive anywhere the access to the Via Rapida (motorway) is only a minute or two away from Luz do Sol.

The apartment complex is centrally located in Garajau, well constructed and spacious. It is mainly home to professionals who work in the city.

What makes this apartment unique

Our apartment has a tourist licence, which means that it has been inspected by the Portuguese authorities and meets their standards of safety and hygene.

Luz do Sol is our home and is equipped and furnished accordingly so that both we and our guests can relax and enjoy this beautiful tropical island.

A great apartment

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 29, 2009
  • Stayed: Mar 2009
We had a week in March in this lovely apartment. We were met at the apartment by Robin who told us all we needed to know about the apartment and immediate area. The accommodation had everything we could wish for with comfortable and well fitted bedroom and lounge and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. Garajau has a small shopping area with a handful of bars and restaurants, plus one very large hotel. It is on the bus route to Funchal (about 15 minutes) which is very reasonably priced. Recommend for people looking for a quiet break.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing
Owner's Response: Thank you for your review. I am glad you found the apartment comfortable and well fitted. The restaurants and bars are also handy to have so close to the apartment (but far enough away to avoid the potential noise or smells...) In terms of the hotel, one big benefit that it brings is that it is a good source to you of holiday information, tour booking, car rental etc., as well as having live music in the evenings, which you would be free to attend and enjoy. Best wishes and I look forward to seeing you again in Madeira.

A perfect holiday

Alexandra from Austria said: "Thank you Barbara and Steve - I had a perfect holiday in your apartment. Starting with handing over the key...Brian showed me everything and offered to help in case of questions or problems. The apartment is well furnished and there is really everything in the kitchen you might need. To have breakfast or dinner at the balcony with the nice seaview is a highlight. Garajau is also a very nice place to be - not far from Funchal - it is easy to go there by bus or car. You will also find some nice restaurants and cafés there. I highly recommend to stay there!. 4 stars

Das Apparment ist der ideale Ort für einen Aufenthalt auf Madeira, es ist super ausgestattet, hell, sauber und die Küche hat alles was man braucht. Frühstück, etc. lässt sich super am Balkon mit Meerblick genießen. Die Schlüsselübergabe mit Brian funktionierte auch reibungslos. Garajau ist auch ein netter Ausgangspunkt für diverse Ausflüge und mit dem Bus kommt man stündlich nach Funchal. In der Nähe des Appartments sind ein kleiner Shop wo man Dinge des täglichen Bedarfs findet und auch einige Restaurants und nette Cafés. Ich habe den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und kann dieses Appartment nur empfehlen!"

Stylish apartment with all you need!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Nov 17, 2011
  • Stayed: Jul 2011
We are so glad that we chose this particular apartment as our holiday base. My partner has been to Madeira several times before, as it is her favourite place in the world. Garajau is a lovely spot, so convenient for shops, restaurants and the bus stop which takes you to Funchal in about 15 minutes - really useful when you want to get out and about.

The apartment was sufficiently set back and elevated to give peace and quiet. The spacious garden and sun terrace around the pool were restful and bathed in sunshine for most of the day. The apartment was stylishly furnished and so comfortable it felt like home, but of course, with lovely sea views.

We have stayed in a few villas and holiday apartments over the years, but this is by far the best. The bed was very comfortable, over the window there were curtains and blinds, so you could choose the amount of light you wanted while you sleep. The kitchen was so well equiped (it's always a nightmare when you are searching for a corkscrew that doesn't exist!) with everything you could possibly need, even cling film! We stayed in during some of the evenings and there were lots of different books to read and DVDs as well as a multichannel TV to watch.

Having a flexible changeover day is a great idea as this enabled us to fly on days when the flights were cheapest.

Thankyou - We really loved our stay and are looking forward to our third visit to this apartment next year!

Two weeks of relaxation

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 7, 2010
  • Stayed: Aug 2010
I have no qualms in recommending this very well apointed apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Madeira. If like me you prefer to be independent, this apartment is just the ticket!

The the apartment has every mod con you can imagine with a lovely terrace where you can listen to the crickets in the evening while enjoying a nice glass of wine.

The village has everything you would require, bakery, coffee shops, small supermarket all situated within walking distance.

Funchal is a 10min bus ride away every half an hour.

Robin is a great person to deal with and looked after us in a very proffesional manner.

All in all, we had a very relaxing two weeks which recharged the batteries!

Thank you Robin

All the best.

Owner's Response: Dear Joe,

Thank you for your very positive review. I am glad you had a good time in the apartment; it certainly seems that you made the most of your stay and relaxed and recharged your batteries.

It was good that you did not need it but perhaps worth noting for readers of the review that the village also has a very good pharmacy.

The (blue flag) beach of Garajau is a few hundred metres beyond the village and is a great place to relax as it is never very busy and has great facilities as well as a really nice seafood restaurant. The water is warm and it is the best diving spot in Portugal (not only because it is the first marine nature reserve in Portugal).

I look forward to welcoming you again sometime soon.
Best wishes,
Robin
