Funchal

While we agree with other reviews with regard to the villa being well equipped, comfortable bed, serviced and Paul being a lovely gentleman, unfortunately upon our arrival we noticed a terrible dank smell in the whole apartment.  There is no air conditioning and it was very humid and uncomfortable.  It is in need of an update. 
The bathroom had mould all over the walls and the window was filthy.
We found tiny bugs in the kitchen, on the fridge top, on the walls and inside the kettle. We also found the same bugs in the rug in the lounge (open plan to the kitchen) I could also feel an electric "vibration" when putting bread in the toaster.  I quickly removed it and did not use it.
We also found an earwig walking across the bed.  We sprayed the apartment with bug spray on our way out and on our return we found a dead (thankfully) cockroach.  We were horrified.  All we wanted to do was to stay out all day to avoid being there, it was not relaxing.  After two days of stress and lack of sleep, we searched the internet and thankfully found another apartment (to our own cost) and left that day.  Though Paul was upset and said it was the time of year, no refund was offered and we feel that this is not a reasonable explanation.  I do have photos but have decided against posting them.  Our other apartment had none of the problems mentioned.
Though we will very happily return to Madeira in the future, I am sad and sorry to say we would not recommend these villas.

Booked for Seven Nights, Left After Two!

A little piece of paradise.Excellent location.You will need comfortable walking shoes to get around.
The real Madeira.Hibiscus hedges and wall lizards 
Paulo the owner was very helpful and friendly.
We stayed in Vila number four.We enjoyed breakfast it's own little garden.
Don't forget your hairdryer and plug adapter.

The real Madeira

We stayed 13 nights in one of those groundfloor appartments surrounded by a wonderful garden, overlooking one of Funchal's harbour seafront sections from a rather short distance. Self-catering and having breadkfast outside as well as cooling down after a long hot day out in Madaira's mountains is real fun - you will be accompanied by many lovely lizards ! Rooms are large,kitchen fully equipped, water always hot, bed very comfortable, room service twice a week.  Paul, the owner, is very polite and helpful including organizing delivery of of our rentlal car. Parking in front of the entrance is not possible, but there are plenty of unlimited lots avaliable after working hours within 200 m.  Walking distance to city Center apprx. 2 kms or 25 minutes, to large Supermarket 15 min. Swimming? By car its 10 minutes to a clean gravel beach located at Funchal's western boundary. If returning to Madeira, will definitely stay there again.

Very peaceful quiet location close to Funchal city center

This is the best equipped self-catering accommodation we've stayed in - the owners have thought of everything.  Having a week of excellent weather we took full advantage of the lovely little private garden and the sun terrace.  Nice walk down into the town via the beautiful park but the walk back up the hill can be a little tiring but OK if you pace yourself.  Will definitely return to Madeira which is absolutely beautiful and very interesting and would definitely consider Vilas Oliveira again - so much nicer and secluded than the normal self-catering apartments you normally find.

Perfect self-catering accommodation

a small apartment in the grounds of a Quinta, consisting of a living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. A small private courtyard garden is also included.  To be honest it could maybe do with a little refresh but this didn't really detract from our experience.  We didn't cook but is would be possible if you wanted to. Paul, the owner, is a lovely guy and very helpful.  I reccomend this if you dont want the large hotel experience

Very Quiet and relaxing location 10-15 minutes walk from the centre of Funchal

We stayed in villa 4, very peaceful with a pleasant garden, perfect for open air breakfast. Vilas Oliveria, is in a quiet road but still very convenient for central Funchal, with its restaurants and supermarkets.   Sometimes we did experience problems when opening the main gate but this could have been our fault!  Paul the proprietor is very obliging and extremely helpful. We would certainly stay here again.

Convenient, peaceful location

A very good reception. Very useful hotel. Good quality equipment. TV too small. Quiet location, lack of windows, indoor smell and lack of air conditioning. In the room opening the window to get air at night implies the presence of mosquitoes.
