Compact though comfortable and offering everything you could need for a stress-free stay on Madeira close to the many highlights of fun-loving Funchal, we think this home ticks all the essential boxes for a couple's holiday, a getaway with friends, or a business trip. Relax and unwind within its uncluttered modern interiors, rejuvenating in preparation for another day of adventure on this wonderful island.

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 at the breakfast bar. 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.
