Situated a short drive from the centre of Funchal and just a stroll from the beach, this cosy apartment is a great base for a couple visiting Madeira and hoping to make the most out of their holiday. Aside from the comfort of your pad, you’ll also have the communal swimming pool and garden at your disposal.

The inside boasts a stylish open-plan living room, with a comfy sofa for those snuggly evenings of movies and Madeira wine. In case you feel inspired to cook, there’s a well-equipped kitchen here, and with the abundance of fresh produce available on the island, there’s no doubt you’ll enjoy some delicious feasts. For a romantic supper for two, head out onto the balcony, where you can admire the ocean in the distance.

Get a good night’s rest in the plush bedroom and wake up restored. A cup of Dolce Gusto will get your day off to a good start – and with all the nature trails and picturesque vistas to be explored, it can only get better.
