Avis Charming restored stone cottage in Funchal centre – Casa do Feitor

Toplage in Funchal, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Ein echter Geheimtipp.

One of three self catering properties located in a private banana plantation.Very peaceful at night and yet only a few hundred yards from Reids Palace.The property is very well equipped with separate lounge , bedroom (very comfortable bed) , bathroom and kitchen / diner.The kitchen has a balcony overlooking the banana trees and there are views to the bay from the bedroom and lounge. You also have shared use of a very nice swimming pool which I would imagine to be a huge bonus in the summer months.The hosts, Buffy and Frank are very friendly and accommodating and we wouldn't hesitate to return.

Why Bananas and Blackbirds? Taxi driver didn’t know the Cottages, but knew the ‘bananas’ and during our weeks stay we were constantly serenaded by Blackbirds! A spacious superbly equipped cottage with everything you could wish for. Spotlessly clean and comfortable; safe and secure. Views to the harbour (our cottage was on upper floor) and set in gardens and a banana plantation with a lovely large swimming pool. All this yet very central close to Reid’s and the Cliff Bay hotels. Beautiful gardens of the Magnolia recreational park are opposite with extensive walks, a fine restaurant and snack bar. Convenient for several bus routes into the town centre or west to Câmara des Lobos fishing village. The Red and Yellow hop on/off tourist buses stop near by which are worth considering for ‘orientation’ in Funchal but most attractions can be reached by regular buses with day passes available for 1, 3 or 5 days. Bus 81 to Nuns Valley not to be missed! By car the estate is easily accessible to all main routes. By the way a tour around Madeira by car is nowadays spent mostly underground!!!! We enjoyed a wonderful stay and are planning our next trip!

Casa do Feitor was our home away from home for two weeks while recently vacationing on Madeira. It always felt great to come back to after busy days spent exploring. It was so convenient to have the option to cook in or eat out. Everything needed to prepared a meal was available - even a charcoal grill. We are grateful to Buffy & Frank for going above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. My husband and I highly recommend this vacation property - let it it be YOUR home away from home!

Casa do Feitor is a spacious flat with views across Funchal, the harbour and out to sea. Frank and Buffy make you welcome and the accommodation is well equipped and presented in very good condition, all clean and tidy. Nearby are many excellent restaurants and cafes, R do Casa Branca having several. Also its just a short walk to small general stores and 10 minutes to a good supermarket. Into town is an easy 20 to 25 minutes walk. We really enjoyed a week stay and when leaving or returning to the casa, the stroll down the cobbled path surrounded by banana plants and under a pergola covered in vines is charming.
