Aspa Studios - Urban Conscious Living

One of the best holidays ever. An amazing place in the heart of Funchal, very quiet and peaceful, well maintained and with attention to every detail, from the welcoming box of sweets to the everyday smiling face of the cleaning lady. Fully equipped kitchen. A unique terrace with an authentic style and a breathtaking view. The only thing that wasn't to our taste was the breakfast, despite the lady's efforts to prepare something different every day, it just wasn't our cup of tea. Strongly recommend

Wonderful place central location easy to walk to the sights. Very friendly staff keen to assist with making your stay as enjoyable as possible. Great spacious apartment with kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom with very comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast with beautiful fresh made local produce all prepared by a wonderful chef who is so friendly it feels like you have a personal chef. Highly recommended and Madeira is such a wonderful destination can’t wait to revisit.

The apartment was very clean and all appliances worked as expected. The staff were lovely and though these are apartments they offer facilities such as breakfast, and a change of bedding and towels. The only things to note are there is no air con, but instead you get a large ceiling fan. The breakfast is also basic, but it’s fine if you want a coffee and a light bite to get the day started.

We had a lovely stay at Aspa studios! Beautiful old house that has been refurbished to suit the traveller's needs, at the centre of Funchal! We stayed for a week with my kids. The studio was very confortable and was kept spotlessly clean and tidy by Isabella, who was so sweet with us all!!! Looking forward to coming back!

Very disappointing. My room was run down and dingy and parts of the furnishings were simply broken or so badly rusted that pieces of rust crumble off. The staff in the breakfast room appeared every day in T-shirts and sweatpants.

I always book directly with the hotels as it provides a much better rate and this was my experience again. I booked through their website and the rates were much better than other online channels. The owner and his family are lovely people and they made every effort for my stay to be as comfortable as possible. As it was first time in Madeira I took the airport bus which dropped me right in the middle of Funchal centre at Le Vie shopping centre which is 3 minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel itself has a lovely boutique feel and i got a nice big bright room with a very commutable queen bed. I was greeted by the friendly hotel owner who was very kind to give me an overview of Madeira and Funchal and things to do. With the Portugese inspired breakfast in the morning I got to try some delicious local fruits, jams and other items .... I loved the location as there were many restaurants for dinner just down the road from the hotel and the old town and waterfront is just 5 minutes walk away ... For gym goers there is a GYM at Le Vie Shopping centre that have day passes. The hotel itself feels just like home and there is a cosy sitting area in the reception where you can sit and read a book (the wifi is strong too) I am extremely thankful for the hospitality of the owner and his family.... I will definitely return and stay here again :)
