Boasting views of Funchal Marina and the indigo Atlantic Ocean, this ideally located apartment guarantees rest and relaxation. After a much-deserved lie-in, throw open your bedroom curtains and let the natural light pour through the windows. Step out onto the balcony and fill your lungs with fresh sea air before sitting down to a light breakfast in the sunshine. When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find the best of Funchal at your fingertips. You’re a short walk stroll from the Sacred Art Museum and a fifteen-minute walk from the cable car, which takes you to Monte or the Botanical Garden.

Spend late afternoons feasting on traditional Madeira dishes in a local restaurant or pick up ingredients from the Mercado dos Lavradores and cook up a storm at home. As night begins to fall, pour yourself a glass of Poncha and toast to another idyllic day on the island.
