Golf: PALHEIRO GOLF - This 18 hole, 6000 metre plus course was designed in 1993 by Cabel Robinson, and is skillfully set within the gracious parkland of the Quinta de Palheiro Ferreiro. Remarkable for tight fairways, fast greens, and judicious use of the beautiful trees that once covered the hillside, the course is a worthy challenge for all handicap levels. Palheiro Golf is situated some 10 km east of Funchal with magnificent views overlooking the town and bay. § SANTO DA SERRA GOLF - Its original course, built in 1937, was redesigned in 1991 by the famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones who created a completely new and spectacular 27 hole golf course in one of the most beautiful landscapes that nature may offer. Santo da Serra Golf is 20 minutes away from Funchal centre and 5 minutes away from the airport.

Other Activities: snorkelling, shopping, casino, bars, discos

Superb apartment with a great view

thomas5 Dubin, Ireland
Review Submitted: March 24, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
The apartment is ideally situated above the city, the view from the balcony affords an outstanding panorama of the natural amphitheatre of the bay of Funchal

The apartment is tastefully decorated to a very high standard throughout and was spotlessly clean when upon arrival. A good selection of electrical appliances was available in the spacious kitchen, there’s a gas hob with electric oven and a microwave and oven combo also.

Visit the Mercado dos Lavradores to see what’s available in fresh produce and then stock up the kitchen. If you like seafood you’re in for a treat, be sure to try the amazing Black Scabbard (Espada Preta) fish. There’s a bakery about three hundred metres away (opposite the Centro Civico), which opens on Sundays also.

A choice of satellite TV channels is provided in several languages (only BBC World in English), ARD, TV5 Monde and RAI Uno, as well as the Portuguese channels. A good quality surround sound AV system is hooked up to the TV and you can play CDs and DVDs through it.

I often find it very difficult to get a good night’s sleep when away from home, this was certainly not the case here, it was a joy to be able to fall asleep on a comfortable bed and not worry about waking up in the middle of the night with back pain brought on by a substandard mattress.

If you like swimming I would recommend Canico just a few kilometres drive away, the water was 19 degrees in March and crystal clear.

Car hire is a great option, but be aware that Satnav road mapping is not available for Madeira at present. Navigating the island however is simple and the main roads are very well signposted. It takes only a couple of minutes to get to the apartment after leaving the quiet motorway that links the city to the airport. It’s not easy to get a good map of Funchal but it’s hard to get lost. Be prepared for the steep inclines on the island, I was amazed how many times I had to drop down to first gear.

If you’re not driving getting into town is simple as there’s a bus stop only a hundred metres from the apartment, alternatively taxis are abundant all the time.

This is one of the best apartments I have ever stayed in, the location was perfect – great view, easy access to town and country. Comfortable, stylish modern and clean, the pictures on the website are very accurate. Top class all around.

Madeira is incredibly beautiful and the people are genuinely friendly I look forward to going again.

Stunning Apartment in Great Location

ScottishJandJ Ayrshire, Scotland
Review Submitted: November 26, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
Had a wonderful 2 weeks at Murteiras Apartment. Views from balcony were spectacular especially at sunset. Apartment very clean and fully equipped. Beds were comfortable as were the sofas.

Description on website was accurate.

The apartment was well located for the local bus stop and there was a bakery and cafe/supermarket within easy walking distance.

Sergio and Isabelle were very pleasant and provided lots of information about the island and places to visit. They made us feel very welcome and couldn't have been more helpful.

All in all, we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this apartment to friends or family. We are hoping to visit again in the near future.

A great apartment with an amazing view of Funchal

B.M. London
Review Submitted: January 10, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Just returned from a fantastic stay in this apartment. The view of the fireworks from the balcony on New Year's Eve was spectacular. Watching the sunsets from the hammock is another view I could never tire of! A very clean and comfortable apartment with everything we needed and we soon felt at home. The bus service was reliable and got us up and down into town easily from the nearby stop. Looking forward to going back in the Spring. Thanks, Nuno.

Perfect Holidays

Nessy Palingen, Germany
Review Submitted: November 4, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We had 8 perfect holidays in Funchal. The apartment of Nuno Galiza is very well equipped and furnished very stylefull. It has a beautiful view over Funchal and its harbour and it is a pleasure to sit on the balcony in the night with a glas of red wine and enjoy the view.
It is a good base to explore Madeira, also by bus (stops nearby).
