Sitting in the centre of Funchal, this apartment puts restaurants, shops and bars at your fingertips. It’s within the charming streets of the old town, and a short stroll takes you from the front door to the harbourfront. Day cruises leave to spot dolphins and whales in the ocean and there are plenty of spots for a cold drink overlooking the boats. Plus, you’ve got the beach nearby – Barreirinha Beach is a twenty-minute walk away. Make the most of the sleek kitchen by stocking up on fresh produce at Mercado dos Lavradores farmer’s market. There’s a dining table to enjoy your spoils. A little sofa is a spot to unwind after days wandering the streets of Funchal and you’ve got a view of the rooftops from the slender Juliet balcony just beyond the glass doors.
