Dappled Silhouette Funchal, Madeira

Property Description

Part of a former fine arts school, this apartment is the perfect spot to kick back and unwind. The building is full of character – winding staircases, exposed brick walls, tiled floors – while the apartment is a bit more modern. We love how bright it is, and the sleek, contemporary design only heightens how cosy it feels. We can already imagine lounging on the sofa – a glass of Madeira wine, optional – and gathering around the dining table to snack on a home-cooked Prego, a Madeiran steak sandwich. The comfortable bed will sure to be calling your name – snuggle in and wake up the next day feeling refreshed and ready for adventure.

Speaking of adventures, you're smack-dab in the heart of Funchal's historic streets, so you'll have plenty to discover nearby. Many of the city's must-see sights are within walking distance, including the marina, Sé Catedral do Funchal and the famous cable car to whisk you up the mountain. Add in the fantastic restaurants, local markets and museums on your doorstep, and you'll never have a dull day here.
