Live the centenary history of Madeira Embroidery in an apartment with excellent design and memories of regional culture.
Right in the centre of Funchal, right next to the Farmers Market, this fantastic apartment offers you all the convenience.
Set in a building that housed an old Madeira Embroidery Factory, this property is divided into six independent fractions, each named after well-known Madeira Embroidery stitching.
With a modern and functional architecture, these studios have small notes that take you back to the past and make you know a little about the embroidery of the island. With two bedroom with double bed, two bathroom and fully equipped kitchen, the apartment has the capacity to accommodate four people.
For those who like to enjoy a good time of relaxation, you can enjoy the pleasant communal terrace, available on the rooftop of the building, which has a kitchen, so you can cook your meals.
On the same terrace there is a common laundry room to the building.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW
Drapes is situated in a privileged central area, right in the heart of Funchal. Within a few steps from the famous Farmers’ Market (Mercado dos Lavradores) and the historic centre of Funchal (locally known as ‘Zona Velha’), from here you can explore by foot many of the main tourist attractions of our beautiful town. (e.g. The Cable Car, Funchal Marina, CR7 Museum, Cathedral, Madeira Wine Lodge, etc ...)
Just right in front of the building you have an excellent connection to the local and intercity bus network, connecting you to all places in the island, and covering both the east and west regions, so that it will not be necessary to go far in case you want to benefit from these services. In addition to these facilities, the building has a shopping centre with several shops, cafés, restaurants and a medium-sized supermarket.
GETTING AROUND
With a bus stop practically at the doorstep, transport will be no problem for our guests.
Although a aerobus bus stop for airport arrivals and departures is within 2 minutes walk distance from the flat, we recommend the private transfer service as the best option to get to the flat. Contact us in advance to schedule a private transfer car with our local partners. It is cheaper than taking a taxi by your own in the airport!
GUEST ACCESS
Guests have access to all areas of the flat.

- Check-in must be scheduled in advance. In case the check-in is not scheduled within a maximum of 48 hours prior arrival, guests will be subject to the availability of our team.

Our apartment was on the ground floor and consisted of 2 bedrooms, 2 kitchens and 2 showers (the apartment can be divided into 2 separate apartments). Great location close to the shopping street, bazaar and shopping centre. The washing machine and dryer are located on the roof. The entrance from the street is always crowded as it is a public transport stop. Parking next to the apartments in shopping centres is only for an extra charge, about 0.30euro/ 15 minutes. Next to Beco Da Nora street there are free parking spaces or 2.50 all day parking next to the football field.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the location of your apartment and found our facilities convenient for your stay. Your insight about the ground floor apartments being versatile is very appreciated.
We understand the inconvenience caused by the crowded street entrance and the additional charge for parking next to the shopping centers. As the apartment does not have its own parking space, it follows the standard practice in most cities where parking is typically paid. Your feedback is crucial for us to improve our services, and we shall take this into consideration for future improvements.
We're glad you found great value in your stay at our apartments, and we would be more than happy to welcome you back in the future!

First floor accommodation next to main road but we didn't hear any road noise.
Property was clean and tidy and staff were able to accommodate our request for us to drop our bags early (due to an early flight) and return after property was ready.
Good number of utensils / plates / cutlery etc.
Property was two separate 1 bed apartments with an interlocking door which was opened as we had both rooms. One apartment had a nespresso machine which was nice.
Very nice roof top terrace Can't think of anything that was important that we didn't like.

War ein schöner Aufenthalt. Anfangs war der Code beim Eingang zum öffnen der Tür anders. Wir erfuhren dann durch die Putzfrau den richtigen Code. Küche war nicht ganz sauber geputzt, war aber nicht schlimm. Die Lage ist top, 5 Minuten zum Hafen. Direkt eine Bushaltestelle vor der eingangstür. Teilweise war sie zugesperrt von anderen Mensxhen, war aber nicht schlimm, die machten immer platz.

Apartament pentru 4 persoane cu două băi, două bucătării , doua dormitoare, o sufragerie și terasa de la ultimul etaj care a fost cireașa de pe tort. Foarte curat, bucătăria dotată cu tot ce trebuie pentru gătit, la baie am avut prosoape, săpun, șampon. Locație situată aproape de piață de fructe , de port, de centru și chiar în clădirea de lângă se află un supermarket. Iar la ieșirea din clădire este stația de autobuz. Mulțumim gazdelor pentru asemenea locație. Totul a fost excelent.

Un logement très bien situé et très bien équipé. J’ai beaucoup apprécié la manière dont l’histoire du lieu a été conservée (fabrication de dentelle avant d’être rénové à neuf en locations touristiques) Nous étions 2 couples et nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’intimité offerte par le fonctionnement des deux appartements indépendants communicants. En revanche du bruit de la rue et de la boutique du dessous pour ce logement du premier étage, plutot à conseiller aux urbains qui ont l’habitude d’avoir un peu de bruit

Amazing property in top location, literally 1 minute from Mercado dos Lavradores and steps away from the main pedestrian shopping zone. A bus to Monte park stops in front of the main entrance to the building. Very clean, spotless with all the facilities you might think of - dishwasher, iron and board, a few different coffee machines, juice maker, hairdryer, you name it… the whole apartment building looks new and pays a tribute to a former textile factory or something that was once there. Plenty of stylish details on this topic everywhere. The apartment itself is very modern and pleasant to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Look no more. No comment

We arrived quite late and checking in was very flexible as contacting our hosts was easy. Our apartment was very easy to find as was on the main road. It was quite quiet inside the property. However the entrance was right next to a bus stop which meant people stood in front of the entrance. But, there was no problem when accessing the property. The apartment was very clean. The kitchen had lots of equipment to use. The roof top was amazing as has lots of great views and although is on quite a busy road it was very quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

Das eine Appartment geht zum Hinterhof, hat abgedunkelte Fenster und 2 davon lassen sich nur einen Spalt öffnen . Um Hinterhof läuft eine sehr laute, große Lüftungsanlage. Das andere Appartement geht auf eine viel befahrene Straße mit der Bushaltestelle direkt unterhalb der Fenster., Ist etwas laut.

The pros: Great location in the centre of Funchal, walking distance from the seaside promenade, the market, the cathedral, the cable cars and several museums. The apartment felt spacious and was very clean. There was plenty of equipment in the kitchen and a supermarket next door so it was really easy to cook our own food when we didn't feel like going to a restaurant (but there are plenty of good restaurants in walking distance too). The bed was comfortable with good pillows, and my toddler liked the travel cot provided by the host. The terrace at the top is very nice to relax with a beautiful view. The host team were responsive and friendly.
The (potential) cons: Be aware that it is on a busy road so depending if you get an apartment facing the road it can be a bit noisy - if you're sensitive to traffic noise this might not be the place for you. We had the first floor apartment and I was woken up by the shop downstairs raising their shutters each morning as well (this might not be a problem on the higher floors). There are also stairs to get to all the apartments as well as to the washing machine and bin store (not to mention the roof terrace). So if you struggle with stairs this might not be the place for you. My partner complained there wasn't enough hot water in the morning. But I shower in the evening and I always had hot water. As others commented, the fold-out tables are not as good as having a proper dining table but we found it fine.

We were allowed to checkin earlier than expected. The building has pretty rooftop terrace, view on the Atlantic Ocean and is centrally located. We found a dead cockroach on the stairs in the stairwell, which was not removed until 4 days despite reporting it to staff. After cleaning the flat halfway through our stay, a large number of ants appeared in the unused kitchen - apartment has . One of the bedrooms in the back of the building has windows onto the technical equipment of the shopping centre, making it impossible to open the window - there is a lot of noise and smell of grease. The internet has no wifi coverage in one of the bedrooms.
