Not only is this home a five-minute walk from the heart of Funchal, but it’s also within fifteen minutes of the Lavradores Market and the cathedral. As with many locations in Madeira, this place is on a hill, so expect a climb back home (or you could just get a cab). It’s worth it, though, as this apartment has a shared pool and gym. But the pool terrace is not the only outdoor space – this home has a private balcony overlooking lush greenery too. Your host even provides a tablet for accessing the internet.

Home truths:
*You'll have access to the on-site gym and rooftop terrace here. They're shared with the building's other residents. *Guests three and four would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for two guests only. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance. *Given the home's spot and neighbouring apartments, expect to hear some noise throughout your stay. *There's parking available here.
