Luxury flat, in historic building, in Funchal city centre.

Malvasia Branca de São Jorge or Malmsey is a grape variety used for the production of Madeira Wine. Malvasia is part of a group of properties called "The Wine Lodges", located in the heart of the city, in a historic building, which houses one of the most important Madeira wine cellars, owned by the iconic Blandy family. With a decoration thought to detail, where elegance coexists in symbiosis with the building's history, this property offers excellent comfort and luxury details without equal. The flat has generous spaces, making it perfect for a holiday with a group of friends or family. Situated on the first floor, in its total area we find a master bedroom, with double bed. The guest bedroom is equipped with two single beds and the living room has a sofa bed for two people. This property accommodates a maximum of six people. Wi-Fi is available in all areas of the house.

Positive: The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed a cooker, cooking utensils, cutlery, a dishwasher with tablets, and even dish soap if you prefer to hand‑wash. There was also a fridge‑freezer, washing machine, a small clothesline, and a towel hanger for drying clothes. It is old‑fashioned, or you could say a bit outdated as mentioned in other reviews, but that didn’t bother us at all. The location was perfect — right in the centre, and we could easily walk to the promenade, the old town, and other local attractions. During our stay, the carnival celebrations were happening literally outside the apartment. We had no idea it was on, so being able to enjoy the carnival every night was an unexpected bonus. Negative: The only issue that bothered me during our 5‑night stay was the bathroom setup. The bathroom itself is quite spacious, but the shower design was inconvenient. The shower area is open on both sides, with the shower screen placed only in the middle. Because of this, it was almost impossible to keep the water flowing directly toward the drain — it would escape from one side or the other and spread across the bathroom floor. As a result, after every shower the entire bathroom floor would get wet, which was frustrating and also felt unsafe. Since we didn’t have a mop, I had to wipe the floor down each time someone showered, using my son’s old T‑shirt to make sure no one slipped. This was the only part of our stay that really annoyed me.I did mention the shower issue to the owner, and they did acknowledge it. I also understood that it’s not something with an easy or quick fix, especially in an older property. Since there was no immediate solution and I didn’t want to spend my holiday chasing it up, I just managed as best as I could. Still, it’s worth mentioning for future guests.

Rigtig dejlig lejlighed. Vi havde to børn med, og vi havde ikke lige fanget, at der er trapper op til lejligheden - og ingen elevator. Der er meget højt til loftet, hvilket er virkelig flot og dejlig rummeligt - men det giver også en virkelig ærgerlig akustik. I hvert fald når man har børn med. Generelt meget lydt i lejlighederne i opgangen. Men placeringen er fuldstændig perfekt. Dejlig park overfor, havnen et par minutters gang fra hoveddøren, restauranter og caféer overalt. Vil anbefale stedet til andre - måske især folk der rejser uden børn.

Positive: No comment Negative: Small, but irritating shortcomings. The toaster didn't work, several lightbulbs not working, no heating instructions, shower tending to flood the bathroom floor. Very noisy with other occupants running up and down the stairs and slamming doors.
