It's been said that this modern apartment near Caniço has one of the best views in this part of the island – and we can quite see why. Bright, spacious and thoughtfully designed, it's a perfect choice if you're keen to stay in a quieter area on the coast, but still within easy reach of Funchal. Just fifteen minutes from the airport, it's got everything you need – from super comfy beds and a parking space to a shared outdoor pool. And vistas like these deserve a balcony so you'll be pleased to hear there's not one but two here. One is reached via one of the bedrooms and is the perfect spot for sunbathing, while the other is set up for dining alfresco. Even the kitchen manages to look out over the ocean, so a breakfast bar has been cleverly built into a nook with windows to three sides – just imagine sitting here with your morning cup of coffee. It's just a short walk or a five-minute drive into the centre of Caniço, with all its shops and restaurants, and roughly the same to Reis Magos Beach.
