Images are better than the reality.
The property itself is spacious and centrally located in Funchal with all amenities and restaurants close by. The property is quite dark inside and is definitely showing serious signs of user wear and tear, eg the stained carpet in the sitting area. It could do with a good freshen up and some decoration, particularly the bathroom. The floor in the hallway is broken and needs repair or replacing. It creaks loudly whenever anyone walks over it. The apartment can cater for 6 people if the sofa bed is used, but some of the glassware and cutlery is lacking in number. eg - only wine glasses for 4 people. We were in for a week and were supplied with only 4 bath towels. There was no soap or hand towels in the bathroom. We requested help from the agent - An Island Apart. Communication was poor and nothing was done about our request. Our last WhatsApp message on the subject was just ignored! The other significant matter that future users may wish to consider is the noise from guests upstairs. The floors above must be uncovered and wooden and you will certainly hear the tenant above walking about loud and clear. The accommodation was the least pleasant part of our stay in Madeira.

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad that you found our property to be spacious and appreciated its central location in Funchal. Your positive comments about the amenities and restaurants nearby, as well as the capacity to cater for up to 6 people are much appreciated. We deeply regret the issues you've mentioned and truly apologize for the discomfort they caused. We understand that the condition of the property did not meet your expectations and we're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will take your comments regarding the carpet, the hallway floor, and the bathroom decoration into account as we continue to make improvements. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the lack of sufficient glassware, cutlery, and bath towels. These are aspects we will certainly take on board and rectify immediately. About the communication, we didn't received any message from you in general WhatsApp (+351 925 444 444). If we received something we surely inform you that we just change the towels of reservation with more than 8 nights and as ou said you had 4 sets of towels and you were 4 people. Besides, the apartment has a clothes washing machine and the weather was very hot to dry the clothes and towels. In addition we have an option to guest pay an extra fee for new sets of towels. Your comments regarding noise are also valuable to us. We will look into possible solutions to ensure a more peaceful environment for our future guests. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to improve and offer an even better experience for our guests.

Un appartement plein de charme dans une situation idéale
L'appartement est idéalement situé, en plein coeur de la vieille ville. Le parking -si on en a besoin- est juste à côté. Il a le charme de l'ancien, il est très grand, et très confortable. Tout est à portée de main : restaurant, café, jardin public, distributeur , musées.... L'équipe est super réactive et très accueillante.

Comfortable & Excellent location
The apartment is very large, comfortable, and well equipted. Best of all is the location - It is centrally located in Funchal, next to the Municipal Park. Very close to many shops, restaurants and the waterfront. The only downside was the noise from the tenants above (we were on the 1st floor) We experienced 2 different tenants during our stay and it was easy to hear people walking about - the last group seemed to be walking about all the time and it was very disruptive.

Good Overall, especially the location
The TV could do with more English speaking programmes and news channels. Also, the mattress in the main bedroom is coming to the end of its life. Repeated calls for more toilet paper were ignored, so we bought our own. We lacked a broom or brush and pan so were unable to easily clean up any spills or accidents. Apart from that, the apartment was very well equipped. We would definitely go back if we could get the first floor flat. The stairs are more challenging for the higher flats.

The secrets out!
What a fantastic find! The apartment was large and spacious, fully equipped with everything that you need. Centrally located, The Wine Lodge is in the perfect location situated next to a beautiful garden. The apartment is surrounded by great restaurants and a short walk to the cable cars and the old town. It’s also above Blandys Wine Cellars, what’s not to love? The welcome pack was a lovely surprise! Thank you!!!

Two days in Funchal
We had very big appartment, stylish and we found everything we needed. The appartent is located in a nice area of Funchal and central to explore the town. Every question was answered and Nuria organised a transfer to the airport in the night for us. Thank you very much. If you want to stay at Funchal and like to stay on your own, cooking for your self .. than choose te Wine Lodges!
