The Casa da Calçada is a wonderful rental in a perfect location.
We enjoyed exploring Funchal and Madeira from here. Within a few minutes walking there is an abundance of restaurants, museums, shops, grocery stores and the Funchal port.
If you, like us, prefer to be in an authentic neighborhood, you will surely like this apartment as well.
We love the tasteful décor of the apartment, the well-equipped, tidy kitchen, the WiFi, all the International TV channels, the comfy beds, the closet space in the bedroom and the view of the mountain behind the city.
The floors are beautifully maintained old parquet, which gives the whole apartment a warm look.
Best of all, the host, Jorge, is really lovely, welcoming, attentive and professional.
We came to the island thinking weâd probably stay a week, but extended our time, both because we so enjoyed spending time in Funchal and Madeira, but also because we were comfortable in the apartment.
Good to know for folks who have trouble walking: The apartment is on the second floor, but stairs are wide and have a rail. Some of the streets around here are a bit steep and are often cobblestone. For those of average fitness, it should be no problem at all.
(We are a middle-aged Swiss-American couple)
We both heartily recommend Jorgeâs rental at the Casa da Calçada.
