If you're looking for a sleek and stylish starting point for your explorations of marvellous Madeira, then this apartment located within a historic building that was once a bustling and popular cinema might just be right for you. With an understated contemporary vibe and a whole range of handy amenities, this home is cool, comfortable, and practical.

Start your day with an authentic Madeiran breakfast of Bolo de Caco (a flat bread made of wheat and sweet potato) and your favourite morning brew as the gentle morning sunshine streams through the ample windows. Then, it's off to see what the island has to offer.

Situated on the Rua Ivens behind the Funchal Municipal Garden, you'll find yourself ideally placed along one of the main arteries of the city. Take the short walk to the famous Municipal Theatre of Baltazar Dias, just around a minute away. Or spend the day doing a spot of shopping along the city's leafy boulevards, flexing your cultural muscle whilst perusing some of the many museums, or strolling through the lovely Funchal Marina, perhaps stopping at one of the waterfront restaurants for a sampling of traditional Madeiran cuisine. The Cathedral of Funchal and the tranquil green of Santa Catarina Park area are also within easy reach.
