Photos and Description of the Funchal vacation house rental
3 Bed, 2 bath, sleeps 5 (+ infant) in Funchal, below famous Monte toboggan run!

Tucked away in a well-tended, old fashioned garden full of exotic flowers, creepers, shrubs and fruit trees this house with unheated pool sleeps 5 guests in comfort. Downstairs the spacious living room, with open fireplace for log fires on winter evenings, has French windows opening on to the garden which has chairs, tables, sunbeds and parasols. The large, well-equipped kitchen with pretty integral dining area has a separate laundry room beyond. The second bathroom is near the stairs which lead to the 3 bedrooms upstairs (1 double, 1 twin & 1 single) and the main bathroom. Cheerful maid service (+ baby sitting) is provided by Ciseltina. Owner Joy, a Madeira resident for 31 years, offers this villa and neighbouring Quinta d'Alegria (each with total privacy) to those wanting quiet surroundings, stunning views over the bay of Funchal and a perfect location at the foot of the famous Monte toboggan run. You can book them together if you need 6 bedrooms - both are longstanding favourites!

MORE ABOUT CASA BELFLORES: Casa Belflores is a perfect base from which to discover the interesting and busy little city of Funchal (a 10 minute ride on the local bus or 25 minutes' steep walk downhill), and of course you can go further afield to explore the spectacular mountain scenery of inland Madeira; either by foot along the 'levadas' or by car. From both the house and garden there are splendid panoramic views of the whole bay of Funchal, to the harbour and way out to sea. There are spacious terraces in the garden and around the pool for enjoying the sun, although should you prefer, plenty of shade from the old avocado pear trees. The house, which has been carefully restored to a high standard, retains many of its original features including exposed stone work walls, timbered ceilings and quaint interior window shutters and is now furnished with good quality furniture and fabrics in keeping with the character of the house. It is south and west facing and therefore reaps the maximum benefit of the sunshine.

THE POOL is located in the upper garden of the house in a very sheltered and private location with superb views - a real sun-trap because the white garden walls reflect the sun all around the area. The pool is surrounded by an extensive patio bordered by the luxuriant foliage of silver banana trees and is for the sole use of our guests. Garden furniture, sunbeds and parasols are provided.

IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD: Within a short walk there are two small corner shops suitable for basic supplies, and fresh bread. There is a pharmacy less than ten minutes walk away and also three good local restaurants. In the town you will find a beautiful, traditional fruit and vegetable market, many well stocked supermarkets and several health food stores.

Madeira’s charming capital town of Funchal, with its 140,000 inhabitants, sits in a large bowl that rises from a natural deep-water harbour on the south of this sub tropical island to an impressive backdrop of high mountains. It is the island’s centre of activity, with something for everyone: an opera house/theatre, chic shops, street stalls, open market, wine lodges, museums, city parks, bars, cafés and restaurants without number, multi-screen cinema, a Roman Catholic cathedral dating back to the 14th century and an English Anglican Church built in 1822. This beautiful island is famous for its tropical gardens, two championship golf courses, truly wonderful mountain and coastal walking, ocean swimming, sailing, game fishing, etc. and, above all, its friendly Portuguese inhabitants. Verdant and with varied and stunning scenery, it is definitely worth exploring and the new network of roads and tunnels make this so easy now.

Other Activities: famous tropical gardens and of course Funchal, full of history and charm, is on your doorstep.

Golf: Golfers will find two superb golf courses within easy reach - the 18-hole championship Palheiro golf course and the 27-hole Santa da Serra golf course, both with spectacular views.

Wonderfull experience

5 of 5
Submitted: November 14, 2009 Stayed: October 2009
We visit Madeira in october 2009 for the first time. We searched on internet for a nice property to rent. We found Casa Belflores. We looked at the pictures and the description and we ''were solved" (a dutch expression).
We booked the house and the service we expercienced directly after the booking was great. The car hire advice and following arrangements for instance but especially the dinner proposal for the arrival day. When we finally arrived, we call the owner at the airport that we are on our way. She welcomed us warmly at the gate and had made a superb three course dinner for us. During our stay she was always at the background to contact.The house is cosy and very clean. Three times a week clean towels for example. Special towels for the swimmingpool which was situated on the upper terrace with a spectacular view on the ocean. A nice,warm and friendly restaurant at four minutes walk with very good food. But dinner at Casa Bellflores made by the owner Joy is highly recommended by us. Delicious!!
We enjoyed our stay very much. A lovely Island and rough at the same time. A beautifull house with much privacy, a wonderfull garden, swimming almost under the bananatrees etc. Very nice weather, during our stay 25 till 29 degrees. Spectaculair roads and views.
We think about visiting the other Island Porto Santo some day and then we certainly will contact Mrs Judith for advice.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Casa Belflores attracts visitors from many different countries and we welcome our first review from Holland. And a great one too! Many thanks.
You obviously had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed not just Casa Belflores (and Joy's cooking!) but also your trips by car to explore this beautiful island, much of which is unspoilt and without pollution.
We look forward to your return and, as it happens, Joy has a lovely house on Porto Santo which can be rented for holiday use. Best wishes, Judith (booking agent)

Casa Belflores is a fabulous villa

Submitted: July 24, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Casa Belflores is a fabulous villa and we enjoyed a very relaxing time here. Joy is a wonderful cook and a mine of knowledge and information about the Island. It’s the ideal location to get into the city. The neighbouring restaurante Porta XXXII, food very good and owner very welcoming. The weather has been very hot during our stay but cooler now. We’re looking forward to coming back next year again.
