Vila Marta - Funchal

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la qualité du service que JOAO, le propriétaire de la Vila Marta et son fils JOEL nous ont réservé tout au long de notre séjour à Madère: une disponibilité sans faille, sans cesse à l'écoute pour apporter conseils et avis (par exemple: à propos de nos itinéraires quotidiens, ou nous restaurer) . La construction en terrasses […] de la villa avec des balcons ouverts vers l'Océan, la conception en longueur des chambres (entrée avec coin cuisine et accès à une belle salle de bains avec baignoire, puis la chambre à coucher séparée par un petit muret du salon ouvert sur le balcon, nous a beaucoup plu). La propreté de la chambre ainsi que celle de l'ensemble de l'établissement est remarquable. En fait, nous avons du mal à dire qu'il y a des chose que nous n'avons pas aimé à la VILA MARTA. Merci encore. Lisez la suite

I am the sort of person who always, ALWAYS tries to obtain as much info as possible from other travellers via review sites, so I aim to help others by giving my review. The reviews for Vila Marta seemed all good, so I went ahead and booked. Everything I had read was true. Joel and his son Bruno are the most polite, helpful and friendly villa owners […] I think we have ever met. We were greeted by Bruno who spent time with us when we arrived, gave us a map, suggested a few places to eat and was generally very, very helpful. We had read on the reviews that fresh rolls would be hanging on our door handle every morning and leading up to the holiday this became quite a talking point with our family who started to tease us that the 'rolls would never arrive'. They did! And what a lovely treat having fresh bread delivered to your room every morning! Wonderful idea. The room was spotless, very comfortable and all of the eight apartments face the sea. The villa is up on a hill overlooking part of Funchal. Every time we saw Bruno or Joel during our week long stay they took time to chat and asked how we were enjoying Madeira and Bruno suggested a couple of trips that we might like to do up into the hills. (And Madeira IS very hilly!) Funchal itself is lovely. It's quite spread out between the old and new town. There are lots of restuarants to choose from. It's nice to walk into the hotels right on the sea front, some of the views are lovely. There is a bar called The Hole In One on one of the corners on the Estrada Monumental. It's opposite an Irish bar called O'Briens. The atmosphere is good, is always popular and has lots of seating outside and live music. IF YOU NEED TO PARK in this area drive down the little road straight opposite the Hole in One which in fact is the driveway to a large hotel (can't remember the name) - it goes down the side and round the back of O'Briens. As you go round the bend there is an underground car park. THIS IS A LITTLE GEM OF A FIND in Funchal wher Lisez la suite
