Luxury flat, in historic building, in Funchal city centre.
Verdelho is a full bodied and less acidic grape variety than Sercial. This is one of the grape varieties used for the production of Madeira wine.
Verdelho is part of a group of properties called "The Wine Lodges", located in the heart of the city, in a historic building, which houses one of the most important Madeira wine cellars, owned by the iconic Blandy family.
With a decoration thought to detail, where elegance coexists in symbiosis with the building's history, this property offers excellent comfort and luxury details without equal.
The flat has generous spaces, making it perfect for family holidays or friends.
Located on the third floor of the building, in its total area we find a master bedroom with a double bed and a guest bedroom with two single beds. In the spacious living room of this flat we find a sofa bed with capacity for two people.
The property has a balcony with a fantastic view over the bay of Funchal.
This property accommodates a maximum of six people.
Wi-Fi available in all areas of the house.
There is no lift and no private parking.
AREA
The property is located in the noble and central area of Funchal. From this property, you will be able to know all the downtown and main points of interest. This flat is situated right next to the famous Municipal Garden of Funchal and very close to the Funchal Marina and the Municipal Theatre.
In the same building of the property you can visit one of the most important Madeira wine lodges Blandy's Wine Lodges is open daily for tastings and guided tours. In these same lodges you may get to know and purchase a wide range of wines, which you may later pick up at the airport after passing through customs. Guests of this property have one free ticket per couple.
Another must is the bar and restaurant "1811 Wine Bar", which is located in the same building. Here, you can enjoy unique delicacies accompanied by excellent wines. Our guests are granted an exclusive discount in this fantastic space.
In the city centre there is plenty of information about all kinds of activities you can do during your holiday: cultural activities, radical activities, activities linked to nature... whatever the purpose of your visit to Madeira Island!

Very mixed experience. We found the apartment uncomfortable and in very desperate need of updating, fixing and attention. But in a nice location (15 minute walk to old town with a nice walk along the sea front). The pictures show two bathrooms but the shower in one bathroom is unusable (no water pressure and temperature adjustment does not work well). Kitchen lacks adequate power sockets and knives blunt. Did not use washing machine as clothes drying rack completely rusted and did not want to risk rust stains on our clothes. Mattresses hard. Whole place feels rather depressing inside and we avoided lounging and relaxing there. Drab atmosphere.

Location was excellent right in centre of Funchal. Everything you needed as a home from home, beds were very comfortable. Lovely that you left us some wine as a welcome gift thank you. Some of the curtains were not all secured to the hooks on the rails, heater in lounge was very noisy, the one in garden facing bedroom didn't work at all but there was a radiator provided instead. Chair on balcony had a hole in it and only enough for 3 people when there were 4 of us. Just little attentions to details really.

Central in Funchal, beautiful but worn apartment. We have stayed in this apartment three years ago and was looking forward to go back. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to our expectations. Some examples: - the parking card and voucher for the museum wasn’t available as described - lamps at the terasse and in the bed room was out of order - there wasn’t enough coffee mugs for the family - there were no toilet paper or soap in one of the bathrooms - furniture is worn, sofa outside is broken
The staff corresponded quickly but the maintenance of this apartment has clearly not been kept up and today it isn’t worth the money anymore

It was beautiful and so spacious. The outside deck was small but nice with a view. Had laundry and everything you needed in the kitchen including an espresso machine. It was on the 3rd floor with lots of steps. The rooms were labeled with the name of wine but we never were told that just room 3. The shower was broken but they replaced it quickly. In the living room there was door stop that needs to be moved. My husband nearly broke his toe on it.

Perfektes Apartment um Madeira und insbesondere Funchal zu erkunden. Super zentral gelegen und (fast) alle Sehenswürdigkeiten in Funchal sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. Gegenüber lädt der wunderschöne Jardim Municipal do Funchal zu einem Aufenthalt ein. In dem charmanten Stadtviertel gibt es viele sehr gute Restaurants und Bars, die einen Besuch wert sind. Das Apartment ist sehr schön eingerichtet und hat viel Platz. Trotz der zentralen Lage ist es sehr ruhig und entspannend. Es ist alles vorhanden, was benötigt wird. Highlight ist die kleine Terrasse „über den Dächern von Funchal“. Die Kommunikation mit An Island war unkompliziert und sehr kundenorientiert.

La ubicación, el apartamento está bien equipado. La terraza es muy chula. El aire acondicionado no funcionaba bien, teníamos que estar con las ventanas cerradas porque si no se nos comían los mosquitos. Unas mosquiteras vendrían bien. La respuesta de los responsables con algún problema q surgió lenta y poco adecuada( lavavajillas no funcionaba). El apartamento estaba muy bien era muy chulo pero hacía falta mantenimiento. Deberian avisar de que hay muchas escaleras, son 5 pisos. Tuve que cambiar varias bombillas porque parpadeaban.

Astonishingly spacious with a small terrace with a wonderful view of the city and the ocean.
Excellent Wi-Fi, a big living room, very comfortable beds.
Two bathrooms, But not on the same level as sleeping rooms.
Everything you need in the kitchen.
Pretty expensive, but rather a good value for money.
Not recommended for people having problems with going up and down the stairs

We had a very nice stay in the Verdelho aparment. First, the positives - this is a lovely apartment in terms of space and fittings and it is an absolutely fantastic place in terms of location. Downsides - it misses a few simple things such as waste bins in the bedrooms, the cooker hood was not working, a light bulb was out in the living room, the bathrooms are very functional and rather old-fashioned. One other big issue (not for us but could be for other visitors) to get to the bedrooms it is 68 steps from floor to apartment entrance to bedroom. When you do this 10 times a day you know it!
The only other major gripe was that we happened to be booked in when the Festival of Cider was on in the centre of town. Unfortunately this involved very loud music on a few nights coming from the venue less than 150m away. We challenged An Island Apart about the lack of warning and they claimed not to have known. Given this was a major festival I don't think that can be true. So beware local festivals!

The Verdelho apartment exceeded our expectations. It was clean, well equipped and spacious. You have to allow for the fact that it's an old building and it's three floors up to the apartment and the apartment has rooms on four levels. Water pressure a bit low but everything worked. The location was ideal for us being in the centre of Funchal. There are lots of restaurants nearly. We booked both arrival and departure pick ups which were very good.

Zentral gelegene Unterkunft. Eine tolle Terrasse über den Dächern von Funcal. Viele Treppen innerhalb der Wohnung. Die Bäder sind nicht wirklich topp, aber okay. In der Küche leider nur Leuchtstoffröhren an der Decke.
Es war okay. Beim nächsten mal würde ich die Wohnung nicht noch einmal buchen.

Perfect location Could be better with other mattresses (my back hurt so badly after one day, I had to sleep on the sofa). Some furnitures need to be changed.

Perfect Location to explore Funchal by walking; very professional contact with renting company, providing lots of extras and information; we had appartement Verdelho and espcially enjoyed the little balcony with the great view; appartement was clean, quite big, very well equipped and as shown on pictures - we really enjoyed our stay! Don‘t rent this appartement if your not fit to do a lot of stairs (3 floors and in our appartement rooms on another 3 floors 😅) or with huge or heavy luggage. The lounge on the balcony needs an update.

We loved the size of the apartment and the central location there was everything you could need supplied The bed could have been more comfortable, we should have been pre warned about the amount of stairs getting into and inside the apartment

This apartment is equipped with everything you would need for a self catering holiday but very close to great restaurants if you don’t want to cook . The municipal gardens are lovely and directly opposite the apartment.
It is unsuitable for anyone less able as there are a lot of stairs both inside and out of the apartment

Spacious, old time atmosphere, terrace with view from sea to the hills. Super central location. Quirky plumbing, this didn't detract from the experience though.

Lokalizacja Taras Duże sypialnie + łóżka Wyposażenie kuchni oraz obecność pralki, suszarki i żelazka Normalna suszarka do włosów, a nie taka hotelowa mocowana do ściany Prezent w postaci wina Zniżka na zwiedzanie w winiarni Dość stare łazienki, w tej położonej ma wyższym piętrze była zepsuta spłuczka, z prysznica nie spływała woda, drzwi zamykały się z trudnością Drzwi do budynku nie domykały się, a klamka od wewnątrz czasem pozostawała w dłoni. W związku tym budynek czasem nie był zamnkięty, co było problemem ostatniego dnia, kiedy trzeba było zostawić gdzieś bagaże po wymeldowaniu, a przed wyjazdem. Brak zamykanego, zabezpieczonego miejsca do przechowania bagażu po opuszczeniu apartamentu a przed wyjazdem na lotnisko (wylot wieczorny)

The top floor apartment is really spacious and has a private balcony over the rooftops of Funchal. The location is perfect. The apartment has many stairs and the old building's shortcomings: the toilet flush did not work, the taps were difficult to use and the water flow was low. But if you don't let it bother you, you'll definitely enjoy your stay here.

The apartment is very big and clean. It has everything we needed. They received us with a bottle of Madeira wine and a nice welcome card. The only issue are the stairs. There is no elevator in the building and in the apartment there were many stairs too. For example you need to take the stairs to go to the toilet. For me that's not an issue but if you are traveling with more senior people then this could be a problem.

Spacious rooms with high ceilings, comfortable beds, terrace with city view, main bedroom view to the park, fully equipped kitchen. All spotlessly clean. Welcome package with two bottles of vine. The location in the very center of the old town. Two blocks away from a big shopping mall with a supermarket. No comment

It’s a very nice apartment on multiple levels so lots of stairs. Need to go to the bathroom during the night? You’ll need to go up and down a half flight of stairs. OK, so not a big deal if you are young.
Before check-in, I was getting up to 4 emails a day from them. Then when we needed the coffee maker fixed, complained about no water in the bathroom sink, and a non-flushing toilet, I heard crickets.
I paid for parking and was given a key card that stopped working after two days when I paid for four. At 6 am, I went to get out of the garage and the card didn’t work. Luckily someone came in and used their key to let me out. Otherwise my friend would have had to pay for a taxi to the airport.
Other than that, it’s a great location, nicely refurbished very old apartment.
