Transparency and simplicity. We are the only operator in the market to offer a single lease agreement for everything.
Guarantee of legal certainty. The lease agreements are in full compliance with the laws of the country where the lease is negotiated via Flatio. No matter whether you stay there for one or twelve months.
Online agreement in your language. The basis is an agreement concluded in the language of the place of the lease, but the agreement is always translated into English and the most frequently used languages. The agreement is always signed online, so you can conclude it wherever you are in the world.
Guarantee of a trustworthy presentation of the apartment. With Flatio, you may rest assured the apartment looks exactly as presented. And if, by any chance, the condition of the apartment does not match the description in the listing, we will refund your full rent and fees and give you 7 days of free hotel rooms.
Comfortable extension. Do you want to stay longer in the apartment? No problem. If the owner confirms the apartment is available for you, you will extend the agreement online. Similarly, an agreement may be terminated with a simple 30-day notice, once again, online.
All-inclusive price. The rent includes all services, including Internet connection and utilities, and it is not charged unless it exceeds 15 % of the rent. This saves you a lot of paperwork at the time of the apartment handover.
Zawsze 30 dni do przodu. Niezależnie od tego, czy wprowadzasz się na początku, czy w połowie miesiąca, płacony czynsz zawsze pokrywa 30 dni, które po nim następują. We Flatio "miesiąc" zaczyna się zawsze w momencie wprowadzenia się i nigdy nie będziesz płacił kilku czynszów w tym samym czasie.
Take photos of the apartment. We recommend that you take photos showing the current condition of the apartment on the first and the last day of the lease and send the pictures to us. The photos, along with a signed handover report, will be of great assistance when dealing with any unpleasant situations we hope will never occur.
You can read the full text of the lease agreement
here. The specific version of the lease agreement that applies to you will be displayed right after your booking is approved and your personal data completed.
Flexible (14-days)
Experienced host
- washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, fridge, internet/router are available and o.k.
- for digital nomads: Internet connection was relatively stable, not superfast but 70MBit downstream is enough for most applications. I used MS Teams and several on premise applications without any big trouble.
- TV with Netflix (you need your own account) is available - but who wants to watch TV in Madeira?
- parking lot in the underground car park (outside it's hard to get a parking lot and the terrain is very steep)
- The apartment has a garden and is big enough for 2 adults and 2 children.
And here is the list of negative aspects (from my point of view):
Issues the landlord can change:
- furnishing: very worn couches in the livingroom (don't look underneath the blankets!)
- bathroom furniture is also worn out
- beds: the bed in the parents bedroom is (at its best) 140cm wide and the single beds in the other bedroom are very narrow too (ok for children, but not really for adults). The bed wobbles and gives a cheap impression.
- a broom to clean the terrace is missing
- many of the dishes are broken (mugs, drinking glasses, toothbrush mugs ...) and need urgent replacement
- the barbecue was disgusting, used coal inside and the grills were rusty and dirty (old burnt meat or fish sticked on the grills)
- the apartment was not really cleaned very well. ants in the kitchen, dust and cobwebs on the walls.
Issues the landlord can not change but are also good to know:
- good ear plugs are obligatory - the apartment is very clairaudient
- noise pollution because of yapping dogs, everywhere and every time (day and night)
- squeaky tires and car exhaust because of the adjacent basement garage
summary: This apartment is not good value for money and gives the impression of poorly maintainance.
Canico is near to the ariport and my fav. spot in Madeira - Sao Lourenco. As most people know, you need a car in Madeira, because public transport is poor. After 2020 and 2021 car rentals are very expensive.
A supermarket is in Canico center (continente) - , a smaller one for the initial equipment is 650m far from the apartment.
Lido Galomar is a very small (max. 20 people) but nice place for a swim.
Location is good, quiet area, few minutes walk to the sea, supermarkets and restaurants.
Turisitic but quiet
