The case for this property

You are booking a self-catering apartment rather than a hotel room. You check in from 16:00 and leave by 10:00 the next morning. Your stay runs per night, starting from €293. You choose between a One-Bedroom Apartment with Balcony and City View, a standard Two-Bedroom Apartment, or a Two-Bedroom Deluxe Apartment with Balcony.

Each unit includes a full kitchen with a dining table, stovetop, oven, coffee machine, toaster, and tumble dryer. You also get a private bathroom with a shower, hairdryer, toilet paper, and towels, though sheets cost extra. Hardwood or parquet floors run through the living space, which holds a sofa bed, a sofa, and a flat-screen TV with cable channels.

Soundproofing and a private entrance keep the street noise out. The property offers an airport shuttle. Breakfast arrives as continental, vegetarian, vegan, or packed to go.

Inside Cathedral Houses.

Where it is, and what is near

The address sits at Rua do Aljube n 43 Edificio Eva´s, 9000-067 Funchal, Portugal. You measure 810 metres in a straight line from the historic core, translating to about 15 minutes on foot. You walk past shops and restaurants without needing a car. Parking is not available on site or nearby, so you leave the vehicle elsewhere or use public transit.

The location places you within easy walking distance of the port and main shopping streets. You step outside onto a quiet residential lane that connects directly to the wider road network.

The rooms, and what they cost

On 10 to 12 October 2026, 3 room types appeared for two adults. Rates shift daily, so confirm availability for your own dates. 4 rates came without free cancellation, so read the terms before you book. Breakfast can be added: the rates offered “Breakfast US$17 (optional)”.

Arriving, leaving and the rules

Standard times are from 16:00 for arrival and until 10:00 for leaving. The property requests this at arrival: “You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.”

The house rules: “Please inform Cathedral Houses in advance of your expected arrival time. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly with the contact details provided in your confirmation. This property will not accommodate hen, stag or similar parties.

Quiet hours are between 22:00:00 and 08:00:00. A damage deposit of € 100 is required on arrival. This will be collected by credit card. You should be reimbursed within 7 days of check-out.

Your deposit will be refunded in full via credit card, subject to an inspection of the property.”

What the score is worth

The average sits at 9.4 out of 10, backed by 117 reviews. That sample size gives you a reliable picture of daily operations, cleaning standards, and host responsiveness. The count is large enough to smooth out occasional outliers, though it trails the heavier traffic seen on larger competitors.

You read the number as a strong signal rather than a perfect guarantee. The rating reflects consistent performance across family rooms, kitchen setups, and internet reliability. You can expect the actual experience to align closely with the written feedback.

Choosing the right season

Summer days push toward 26.8 °C, while winter nights drop to 13.9 °C. You rely on the provided air conditioning during July, when daytime highs average 25.4 °C. January brings 160.9 hours of sunshine across the month, making it a steady window for long walks.

February adds 72.4 mm of rainfall, so you pack a light waterproof layer. The apartment stays comfortable year round because the insulation handles the cooler stretches. You plan your itinerary around the temperature bands rather than strict seasonal closures.

What to look at elsewhere

If you prefer a lower nightly rate, you look at the other apartments clustered along the same block. Queimada Houses lists from €183 and carries 405 reviews, sitting 60 metres away. Esmeralda Holidays Apartments starts at €181 with 401 ratings, also 60 metres distant. Queimada Lodges by an island apart asks €187 per night and holds 90 reviews, positioned 80 metres from the front door.

Se Urban Suite 22 charges €222, rests 110 metres down the street, and shows only 12 ratings. You pick those entries if budget or review volume guides your choice more than the current property layout.
