Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine.
L’appartement est très confortable et très bien situé . Néanmoins l’isolation est à revoir car très proche d’une grande rue et le bruit est très présent de 6h à 23h …
Nous aurions aussi aimé plus d’instruction pour trouver le parking car nous avons cherché très longtemps à notre arrivée…
L’appartement était très propre et bien équipé.

Would definitely stay again at the same apartment.
Positive:
Spacious and clean apartment at a fantastic location in a quiet area, five minutes walk away from the coastal walking path.
Supermarket, taxi rank and shopping mall with cafes and various food outlets just across the road.
There's also a great Chinese restaurant around the back of the apartment.
Negative:
The instructions for the waste disposal route was a bit vague, we had to ask one of the other residents where to go.

beautiful apartment with ocean views. clean, well equipped,nice location, plenty of restaurants nearby, shopping mall just across the street. the only downside I could mention is that the apartment is just next to the busy road, if you like keeping window open it is quite loud with the traffic outside.

Perfect place for short and long stays. Comfortable, clean, well-equipped apartment, ideal for 4 people (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room). Beautiful view from the terrace to the ocean, everything is just like in the pictures. The location is also perfect, there is a shopping center, restaurants, cafes nearby, and the ocean is a few minutes' walk away. The host was helpful, flexible and fulfilled all our requests.

Tökéletes hely rövidebb és hosszabb tartózkodásra. Kényelmes, tiszta, jól felszerelt apartman, 4 fő számára ideális (2 hálószoba, 2 fürdőszoba, nappali). Gyönyörű kilátás a teraszról az óceánra, minden pont olyan, mint a képeken. Az elhelyezkedés is tökéletes, a közelben bevásárlóközpont, éttermek, kávézók, az óceán pár perc séta. A szállásadó segítőkész, rugalmas, minden kérésünket teljesítette. Jó szívvel ajánlom mindenkinek.

Spacious apartment, great location and amenities, downside is the street noise (personal tolerance)
Positive:
Spacious apartment, covering over 100 square meters, featuring a living room, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, making it ideal for up to 4 guests. It boasts a great location, in close proximity to numerous restaurants and the Lido promenade, along with a wide range of apartment amenities and private parking in an underground garage. Additionally, the Forum shopping center is conveniently located across the street.
I will recommend the apartment to friends.
Negative:
In fact, there is just one significant downside, and it is the street noise. The building is located on a very busy street, and the street traffic noise can be heard all the time. It is especially loud when the windows are open. Take into consideration that when the weather is hot, the windows need to be open, as there is no air conditioning in the apartment. But I consider it a matter of personal tolerance. For me, it is a problem. For someone else, it might not be.
There are also other negatives, but I consider them as temporary issues. I have reported them to the host, and they promised that they will be resolved. I consider them as constructive feedback to make the stay in the apartment better for the next guests. They are as follows: (1) spare towels are not available (yes, there is a washing machine, but while the towels are washing, you are without towels); (2) the window cannot be opened in the master bedroom; (3) there is no ventilation in the toilet without a window; (4) there is only one hanger in the bathroom; (5) no one asked us whether we arrived and were successfully accommodated; (6) the location of the street entrance to the garage was not provided; (7) a welcome drink, at least water, could be provided, especially for late-arriving guests; (8) the wooden table and chairs on the balcony could be replaced as they are old and cumbersome.

Perfect organization and approach of the landlord. Nice ocean view. Spacious terrace as well as good parking space. The apartment building is very pleasant, quiet and clean. Perfect access to Forum Madeira, the beach and the city center.

Velmi rušný apartmán
Positive:
Apartmán byl veliký a prostorný, kuchyň byla plně vybavená. Skvělý byl proces po příjezdu, kdy nemusíte nikoho hledat ani na nikoho čekat. Klíče si vyzvednete ve schránce na kód, který ubytování pošle dopředu. Poloha apartmánu byla skvělá - hned naproti je Forum se spoustou obchodů a Pingo Doce. Kousek je to i na pláž pobřežní promenádou a tunelem. Parkování bylo také fajn.
Negative:
Po příjezdu jsme potřebovali někam zaparkovat auto, ale neměli jsme informaci, kde je vjezd do garáží a ve schránce byly pouze klíče od ubytování. V lokalitě se špatně parkuje, takže jsme museli chvíli parkovat na poměrně rušné silnici. Vjezd do garáží je na druhé straně apartmánu a dálkový ovladač od vrat byl na stole v apartmánu. Uvítala bych ovladač ve schránce spolu s klíči a informaci, kde se garáže nacházejí. Po vstupu byl apartmán divně cítit, v povlečení jsem našla dlouhý vlas, toalety nebyly nejlépe vyčištěné a sprcha v druhé koupelně se nedala moc používat, protože oknu které bylo hned naproti chyběla šňůrka na stahování rolety (hned vedle je balkón). Co nám ale nejvíc znepříjemnilo pobyt byl ruch nejen v nočních hodinách. Navíc se pravidelně mezi půlnocí a druhou hodinou ranní kolem apartmánu proháněla vytunningovaná auta a motorky a jelikož okna apartmánu vůbec netěsní, tak nás to vždy vzbudilo. Přímo pod okny apartmánu (2. patro) také často jezdí autobusy, takže jsme nemohli mít ani otevřená okna, protože bychom se udusili. Apartmán nemá ani klimatizaci, takže tam při zavřených oknech začalo být po chvíli opravdu horko. Takhle málo jsem se na žádné dovolené ještě nevyspala.

The Flat
We rented this apartment for four weeks during summer 2021 with the idea that we would work remote and take a day off here and there as work allowed. Having spent a significant amount of time working and living in this flat we believe that we are qualified to give a fair review of this flat and what it is like living in the area.
If you do not feel like reading and want to go straight to the point: We do not recommend that you rent this flat for any stay that exceeds a couple of days.
If you want the longer version, read on!
We want to start with the positive, so let's just start with saying that the flat itself is really nice.
The layout of the flat is great. You have a combined hall and living area that connects to the balcony, with a dining table and TV-hangout and a, to be honest, fantastic sofa. From this combined hall/living area you have a corridor that connects to the first of two bathrooms and the separate kitchen (which has its own balcony) and the follows the two bedrooms. The layout worked perfectly for us two and I imagine it would work perfectly for four people or so without stepping on each other's toes too much. The flat has a great kitchen with everything you need and we enjoyed cooking there. The bedrooms are large but there is no AC. Instead, there are normal fans available. We kept these on all the time, also during the night, and we felt that, on balance, if had known, we would have likely gone for air-conditioning during the nights rather than not. The bathrooms are also great. There is some wear and tear in the flat that you will see if you start looking but nothing overly much. The balcony is overlooking the crossing and the road just beneath it. You have sea view from the balcony as well, which is always nice, and you have morning/midday sun. The wifi is also fine.
All of this is overshadowed by the extreme noise-level in the flat. We live in central Stockholm and we have our fair share of noise normally from the everyday traffic and general noise that comes with living in a city, but we were not prepared for the extreme noise in this flat. We kept the windows and balcony door closed at all times, and even then, we heard the noise. Why is the flat so loud? Well, all of the windows, and the balcony, face the roads surrounding the flat. The main road into this area of Funchal is right in front of the flat. In other words, all the traffic, including heavy trucks used to transport goods to and from construction sites in this part of town and joy-riding motorbikes, pass right outside the flat. To make matters worse, just outside the windows from the kitchen and one of the bedrooms, there is a pedestrian crossing to the mall across the street. This pedestrian crossing is made out of cobble-stone. So, there is cross-over from asphalt to cobble-stone right outside the flat. Now, imagine the sound any vehicle makes when it goes in relatively high-speed from asphalt into cobble-stone. Now imagine that you have the immediately outside your bedroom and kitchen, all day, all the time, including during the night. And beneath the balcony you have a road leading up the T-crossing. I have personally never thought about the extra noise generated by a road with an incline leading up to a crossing. Well, now I have thought about it quite a lot. Right beneath the balcony, and right beneath the master bedroom's window, there is a steep road leading up the crossing. The road itself is quite popular, with a local bus route going there and with quite a few takeout delivery people with motorbikes going up and down. All these vehicles accelerate on this road. They first accelerate to get up the road, and they then stop at the crossing, and then accelerate again into the crossing. Now, imagine listening to (old) buses accelerating up a hill and the high-pitch noise of motorbikes for several hours, and you have captured the situation on the balcony perfectly. And, as there is nothing to stop the noise from going through the open balcony door to the flat, all of this noise is in the flat all the time. To be fair, you can close the windows and the balcony door and it will be somewhat more silent. The noise is so bad that we actually woke up several times at around 5 a.m., when the heavy commercial traffic starts.
For this reason, we do not recommend renting this flat. Spend your valuable vacation in an enjoyable, quiet, place. There should be lots of these places available in the area. If you are just staying for a few short days, or over the weekend, and you are not very bothered by noise, then, however, this flat may be a good alternative for you.
An Island Part
On a side note, we rented this from An Island Apart. Our stay ended one week short and an Island Apart refunded us our remaining nights and paid out extra compensation for there being road works performed outside the flat for the entire duration of our stay. So, An Island Apart will likely help you in the end if you have any issues. Of course, An Island Apart did not tell us about the construction work in the first place, so if you consider renting with an Island Apart we suggest that you explicitly ask them if there are any such circumstances you should know about before renting. They did early on try to help us finding an alternative accommodation, and they did find one and offered it to us. An Island Apart did not block the flat from being rented out for any period of time, however, so when

The apartment location was fantastic. Close to groceries, restaurants, a great gym and the natural pools of Doca Dos Cavacos. However, there was a major renovation going on in the apartment next door which went on for the full two weeks that we were there. The noise was like jackhammering from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Luckily, we are all fairly early risers however if you were around during the day the noise was unbearable it would have been nice if Travel to Madeira had been advised that this was going to be occurring. Other than that our stay was great and we would rebook. Joao our check in staff and Carolina who helped with a TV issue where so professional and personable.

You can hear the street next to the apartment at night, so you might need earplugs to sleep. Other than that it is a really beatiful location and I would definitely visit again! There is a mall on the other side of the street where you can shop for food and other various things, there is a tour guide office "Pride of Madeira" when you look down from your balcony which took us to great trips through the Levadas. People there are really nice. Pickup from the airport worked like a charm, even though our plane had a delay of more than 1 hour. We checked in later than 2am in the night without any trouble! And on the right side of your balcony you can see the beatiful ocean. I would without doubt recommend to visit there.

Great location, next to the mall with supermarket and other shops/caffes.
We have had a few small hiccups but overall the apartment is nice and comfortable. Very busy road. If you are a light sleeper the place is not for you. I struggled a lot.
Dona Nina restaurant at the back of the complex, is a good place for a lunch/dinner.
We did not meet Andre directly but communication was excellent and always ready to help you.

J'ai passé un excellent séjour dans cet appartement luxueux, d'une propreté impeccable et très bien situé (en face d'un centre commercial comprenant Zara, Rituals, KiKo, H&M et beaucoup d'autres sur 3 étages ainsi qu'un grand supermarché à prix très abordables et, à quelques pas du bord de mer où l'on peut se promener le long des falaises avec une vue à couper le souffle). J'ai été très bien accueillie à mon arrivée à l'aéroport grâce à André qui avait organisé mon transfert jusqu'à l'appartement qui se trouve à 30 minutes en taxi. Je prévois déjà de revenir à Madère en mars prochain car j'ai adoré cet endroit !

The apartment is just as described, very clean, modern and spacious. It is
centrally located, with a shopping center just in front. We had a great meal at Dona Nina, a restaurant in the lower level of the apartment complex.
Being a busy street, cars and construction can be heard at all times which can be hard at night, especially since there is no A/C (it can get very hot at night despite having been provided a cooling fan).
We did not meet Andre the host, but did not have any problem with the communication with him.

Slecht
Zeer slechte verhouding prijs/kwaliteit, o.a. geen televisie en internet gedurend 2 dagen omdat het abonement niet betaald was. Dit zegt alles.
Wij waren met z'n 4 en er waren 3 tuinstoelen waarvan de kussens helemaal kapot waren, daar kon je echt niet op zitten.
Afijn, onze verblijf was verpest dus, hier nooit meer.

Awesome apartment 10/10
It was great to stay in this apartment, nice view, clean and comfortable place. Everything what you need - you have inside. A little bit far from the old town but there are bus stops and they travel quite often. 10/10 I was in love😍
Returning to Madeira again
Very fine apartment , clean and large and fully kitchen. Great service from AIA ,helpfull and friendly. We will absolutely book again when returning to Madeira. We can just rekommend AIA . They really keep what they promise. We are very satisfied AGAIN!!
Don S. - November 2021

Lots of positives but in the end, the traffic noise and the ants really drove us up the wall.
We stayed here for 3 weeks. The location is the best in Funchal
We had good correspondence with Island Apart. The airport transportation they arranged for us was very good.
The apartment is big, and well laid out. The WiFi is good (not great).
The kitchen is well equipped. Large refrigerator is a nice thing to have. The freezer section caused minor problems.
The living room furniture is comfortable. There is a large table and four dining chairs (which could use some attention). Along with this are two casual chairs. There is a large (68 inch) Samsung TV that has many non-English channels as well as a few English-speaking news channels. We found that it is easy to plug our laptop in to it and watch channels that we can obtain. It also has a large coffee table.
The deck off the living room is a nice size. It faces RUA PONTA DA CRUZ LOJA E. This is a busy, noisy street. So, spending time outside is a test of patience. There is a wooden table that desperately needs replacing, as well as four chairs. The sun umbrella is great in mornings when the sun really beats down on the deck.
The view from the deck is nice. Looking to the left one sees Estrada Monumental (probably the busiest street in Funchal). Also, in this direction the Forum Mall.
The ocean view is to the right and it is fairly nice.
The main bathroom is large by any standards. Everything functions well. This is with the exception of the shower, or in reality, the hot water. It seems that you can get about 2 minutes of hot water then it goes cold (for about 1 minute). In a typical shower (curtain needs replacing), for me, I would run out of hat water about 3 times. Just a mention here that the linens in this flat are of very poor quality (or just worn out).
Both bedrooms are a good size with lots of storage. The king-sized bed is very comfortable.
If noise doesn’t bother you, this apartment would work well.

Excelente apartamento, muito limpo e cuidado, muito boa localização. Necessita rever a questão da insonorização. Ouve-se muito barulho do trânsito.
Other than the 2 week loud renovation next door it was great
Great condo and location. Just disappointing there was a very loud 2 week renovation underway in the apartment next door. Otherwise I would have rated excellent.

Well appointed and excellent value apartment, great base for exploring Madeira.
We chose Rodamar 1 as it offered Excellent value accommodation for ourselves and our daughter during our all too short week in Madeira. A few minutes west of Funchal town centre, it had safe and secure parking for our hire car and had amazing local amenities. The Forum Madeira shopping centre across the road had all we needed for self catering and a lovely little coffee bar where we enjoyed our first cupoccino with squirty cream on top and a Madeiran custard tart. A short walk from a swimming lido and with some lovely restaurants next door it is a great base to start our exploration of the town and countryside. The apartment facilities were all first class, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The balcony was perfect for breakfast in the sun with a good view of the blue Atlantic. Overall, loved the appartment, which was all we hoped it would be.

Lovely stop
The apartment is spacious and comfortable and well equipped. The balcony gives a good view of both the sea and the hubbub of the road below but is private and very secure. Everything was spotless. There is no aircon but fans are provided and these do a good job. Local buses to Funchal and Monte are reliable and quite frequent and there is a handy supermarket in the forum shopping centre opposite. If you're catching the airport bus get off at the forum. The only problem we had was that the message giving us details of what to do on arrival didn't get through so contact the agent in Madeira before you go. Our agent said this may have been because of booking through Booking.com. Overall a lovely stop.

Spacious well equipped apartment
The apartment is new, spacious and comfortable and opposite to the Forum Shopping, where you find several coffee bars and also a good supermarket of Pingo Doce (that opens earlier then the other shops that open at 10 am, so that's handy).
The apartment was however a smelly. The smell of dog, which was difficult to get rid of and I smelt it each time I entered the appartement. The 2 bedrooms are situated at the side of the busy road, so you hear that when you are in bed.
Personally I did not like these 2 things very much.
For the rest however it was very good. The kitchen is big and has everything you need except for a dish washer. The communication was overall very quick and good too.
We appreciated staying here.
