Preto & Branco Funchal, Madeira

Property Description

You'll find this studio apartment in the centre of Funchal, right in the thick of the action. Whether sightseeing or sunbathing is at the top of your to-do list, this perfect position means the city is at your fingertips. Spend the afternoons wandering along the pretty waterfront, shopping for tropical fruit at Mercado dos Lavradores and visiting the many museums and fortresses in town. At night, the city's restaurants and bars come alive, so feast on a Madeiran meal at the eateries right around the corner.

When you're not traversing around the city, this pocket-sized pad will be a welcome respite. Light and bright, we love the contemporary design and cheery colours dotted around. Although it's on the smaller side, the kitchenette is ideal for rustling up light breakfasts and quick snacks, while the dining table doubles as a desk if you plan to work from home. Two single beds mean friends travelling together won't have to share – and the soft bedding and cosy mattresses are just the ticket after a long day on your feet.
