Would definitely recommend!
The suite was great, all as described with a great sea view and a pool; it had everything that was needed, cleaning was regular.
The only thing - the doors to the bathroom didn’t close, it wasn’t a big issue for us, but it could be for some.
The property was as described, Bruno was very responsive and tha apartment had everything we needed. Only negative was that housekeeping was advertised as daily when in fact bins were only emptied every 2 days.

I didn't like the lodging at first, but I grew to appreciate it a lot.
Finding parking was easier after I became accustomed to the Madeira driving & parking habits. I was within walking distance to Downtown Funchal and the fancy Oldtown area. I only needed to drive to my Hiking ventures out in the woods, so I didn't have to worry about parking outside of coming back from a hike.
Also, the location is conveneient because of your phone dies and you dont know your way back, just follow the interstate signs for the Hospital because the Vila Toca building is only 3-blocks away.
We had a lovely stay the communication has been excellent the apartment was clean with a daily maid coming in apartment is close to the Savoy hotel and excellent restaurants 10minute walk into the centre of Funchal or you can download the bolt app there version of Uber 3.75euros one way will differnatley go back highly recommend.
Property was perfect. Minor ant issue towards the end of my stay, so cleaning products to sweep etc yourself would be recommended. Other than that, fantastic location! literal walking distance to anything you needed. Parking was a bit of a nightmare. Figured if you find a space with blue lines you can pay at a metre. The underground carpark for the hospital only takes cash and cost around €12 overnight. That was the only issue really. Other than that, apartment was cute, secure, aircon, powerful showers. If you struggle to walk the hill may become an issue but I rather enjoyed it to walk off all the food I’d consumed :)
We arrived at the airport and caught the no.9 bus from directly outside the airport (€6 per person) to SavoyHotel. From there the apartment was just a short 5 minute walk up the hill. Upon arrival it was easy to gain entry following the instructions and the room was immaculately clean. A very large comfortable bed, small kitchen area, tv ,tidy toilet and shower room. Double doors opened out onto a lovely balcony overlooking the pool area.The apartment has good air conditioning and is regularly cleaned.
There are various restaurants nearby but you will find nice local bars and restaurants in the back streets of Funchal
Pingo Doce supermarket was not far away (around 15mins on foot) at PlazaMadeira and had very fresh groceries available.
A local bus from just down the hill from the apartment, Ave luis de Camões took us out to the fabulous Curral das Freiras for a few euros each way.
Well worth making a reservation at in town is the Infinite Wine Bar , which you have to make a reservation to visit but offered amazing food and fun service cooked by the owner. Ideal for a romantic evening in town
Lovely place to stay all round
Fantastic spot in Funchal! The unit was very clean, it was quiet and tranquil. The pool was such an amazing treat during hot days. The unit is very close to the city center and there are many great restaurant options nearby. We always got parking close by. Manager was proactive with communication and very helpful with any questions.
Beautiful property! Big room with traditional feel. Lovely and clean! Amazing property manager and cleaner, both incredibly helpful and kind! Both went the extra mile! Property is 10 minute up hill but we knew this before booking and it wasn’t a problem for us personally!
We loved Vila Toca. It was conveniently situated and within walking distance of shops, bus stops (including the airport bus) and the town centre. Our apartment had plenty of character. The balcony on the third floor was large and lovely for al fresco dining and had good Mountain Views. We also made good use of the swimming pool. The manager responded promptly, helpfully and courteously to messages. The lady who cleaned our room was very helpful and friendly. It was excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
Nice place, unfortunately sometimes noisy at night and early morning. Also, we couldn’t find parking near the vila, so we had to park at the hospital, very nice parking, lots of spaces but almost 12 euros/day. It was ok, but should have been better to if we knew in advance about the parking situation.
A lot of walking up steep hill & no elevator, so not for everyone. Was good exercise. No reception person but when contacted cleaning lady she was delightful & helpful!
Pleasant stay with an easy check-in process. Great WiFi, good view from balcony and near bus stops, restaurants and supermarket. I recommend and I’d stay here again.
