Lifestyle
We live on Madeira Island, Portugal (our main listing is PTOC0517). If you are looking at our other listings, please skip this part.
Madeira Island is known for its mild climate all year round.
Funchal is the capital of the archipelago (aerial photo shown). It is located on Madeira’s south coast, in a beautiful bay washed by the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by tall, green mountains and deep valleys.
Although Funchal has many attractive features, be sure not to miss the many other interesting sites and activities in Madeira. You can reach any location on the island in 2 hours by car.
Perfect for relaxing and getting in touch with Nature. Very good hiking options, from easy to expert levels.
We recommend a visit of 7 days or longer.
Madeira is a 1 hour and a half flight from Lisbon (TAP, SATA, and Easyjet are the main airlines operating). There are also direct flights from other airports, namely from London and Bristol with Easyjet and from Paris, Nantes and Amsterdam with Transavia. You can check the flights on the Madeira Airport website http://www.ana.pt/en-US/Aeroportos/Madeira/Funchal/Departures/DestinationsandAirlines/Pages/DestinationsandAirlines.aspx
Funchal is 30 minutes from Madeira's airport.
Find out more about Madeira on the official sites www.madeiraislands.travel or www.visitportugal.com.

BE1007978Nice people, very spontaneous and practical. The apartment has 3 bedrooms and there is a lovely roof terrace.
The apartment is very centrally located in Funchal, which also means you should not try to get there in a SUV, because streets are very narrow. (We got there in a rented Megane Scenic).

NZ1006638We didn't get to meet the member as she lived quite a distance away. However all our communications with her were extremely positive. She actually rescued us when another exchange " fell over."
