Excellent location right in the centre by the seafront . Enormous 2 bed flat , fully equipped. Staff onsight to check you in. Beds very firm good for me but not everyone s comfort. Needed more than one fan didn't ask if could have more as weather just becoming hot as left. The warning of very late night , very early morning noise , music, talking, putting away and setting out restaurants was accurate, so we expected it. We took ear plugs, and managed most nights but if you struggle with getting to sleep not ideal.

Great location. Huge space. However, bed was hard as a rock and noise from the disco was unbearable until 2 am on Friday and Saturday and although not as loud the other nights, it still kept me up past midnight even with all windows closed. Property is newly remodeled. Paint is fresh. Furniture is uncomfortable and kitchen lacks even the basics of salt/pepper and paper towels It was fine for the price, but I would pay more and stay elsewhere if I returned

Have stayed here before and will stay again. Central location, comfortable apartment, good wifi. Note there is a disco open on Fri & Sat nights (possibly others nights too?) across the street from the living room window, so you will hear the music.

Vanessa was very helpful and The property could have been very nice. However, daily street noises from restaurants, pedestrian traffic, cars, karaoke and the nightclub made it unbearable. Access was often difficult due to eating tables at the entrance. Other issues included Suffocating heat, strong odors from the sewer as well as car fumes, restaurants and cigarette smoke.

Lovely big apartment with everything you could need. Walkable just about anywhere including beach, lots of restaurants and cable cars. Noise was an issue but to be expected in the heart of old town. Best if you’re planning to be out late yourself!

Fab location.
The property is located just a two minute walk from the seafront. (Right by the cable car) Entrance liberally on one of the prettiest streets in the town. The downside therefore is the noise, we had number 3 on the side street which not only was busy with traffic from 5 am also had a nightclub of sorts which went on til 2 am most nights! The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and well equipped to self cater if you can resist the many local restaurant's which offer fabulous food. If you are a night owl or insomniac this could be a good choice, otherwise take good earplugs.

Dear Stephen, Thank you for your time reviewing your stay at Apartamentos Taberna. We are happy to know that you found the apartment spotlessly clean and well equipped. Regarding noise, it is intrinsic to the location of these flats, in the centre of Funchal's bar and restaurant district. Perfect, for those who want to explore the city on foot and live like the locals in one of Madeira's most traditional neighbourhoods. Kind Regards, António

Funchal old town
Location was good, but as in the centre of the old town could be noisy when groups we’re returning home after 1am. Then the bin men @5am and the restaurant setting up After this. This wouldn’t had been an issue if the apartment had A/C as the doors/windows would had been closed and we wouldn't had heard them. But it was extremely hot the evenings we were there so was woken a few times. The restaurant below was fabulous with 10% if staying there well worth a visit.

The property and location were excellent but the noises was unbearable, first there was a cat and dog that would not keep quite until the early hours of the morning and then there was a club right next door to us that played the loudest music you have ever heard, you might think that the club was actually in your apartment.

Dear Tino, We are happy to know that you enjoyed the location and the property during your stay. It's due to it's central location in the middle of the Restaurant/Bar District that makes Apartamentos Taberna so appealing, being one of the liveliest areas to be in Funchal as we announce on our listing. However we can inform that the city hall has now announced that closure of establishments will be at 1.00 a.m. We hope to be able to assist you in the future for your holidays in Madeira.

Excellent Stay in Funchal
The stay far exceeded our expectations. Staff are ver friendly and helpful. Location is superb, nestled in a street full of tavernas, restaurants and small shops in the historic are of Funchal. The apartment is modern, well furnished and the kitchen is fully furnished as well as at home. WiFi is good. Satellite TV is limited for English channels (CNN / Sky news). I would bring an HDMI cable / Chromecast for a future visit. Stairs to reach the apartment, but didn't cause us any problems. Apartments number 1 to 5, with number 5 at the top of the building (most stairs, but benefits from a verandah). Location is on on a long street which is pedestrianised for most of the day. There are lots of perpendicular streets where cars can access. Probably about 50 yards from the taxi. Saturday night was very noisy, but it's an area that's packed with atmosphere, and it didn't cause us problems. Couple of minutes walk to the cable car.

Great apartment, great location!
Everything was great about this place! Super easy check in, very clean, kitchen had everything I could think of (veggie peeler, immersion blender, salt + pepper, cooking oil, etc), the washer is also a dryer and there’s a drying rack should you prefer it, comfy bed, spacious and lots of natural light through the windows. The Spar around the corner sells individual laundry sachets so no need to buy a big box. Note that Fri + Sat nights the bar across the street played loud music but I slept just fine. The wifi was excellent for streaming, downloading, etc. I highly recommend this centrally located apartment.

Das Apartment ist in der Rua de Santa Maria in Funchals Altstadt gelegen, dort reiht sich eine Taverne an die andere, was abends mit einem entsprechenden Lautstärkepegel verbunden ist. Das ist als Hinweis gedacht, nicht als Kritik, muss man drauf eingestellt sein. Dafür ist man mittendrin statt nur dabei, etliche gute Lokalitäten wie die „hauseigene“ Taberna Ruel befinden sich in nächster Nähe. Gleiches gilt für Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, inklusive Mercado dos Lavradores. Die Ausstattung, insbesondere der Küche, ließ keine Wünsche offen. Zur Strandpromenade und zur Seilbahn sind es keine 100m. Ich würde wieder buchen.
