Watch the catamarans and yachts glide in and out of Funchal harbour from the balcony of this city apartment. A little bistro table is set up so you can while away the hours in front of that sea view. This home is a short walk to Funchal’s old town so restaurants, boutique shops and meanders down historic streets are just steps away. Head to the harbour to join a day cruise around the secluded bays and beaches of Madeira, or make the five-minute walk to Funchal's own sandy beach. Big windows in the living room brighten up the space and offer a glimpse of the sea while you dine or kick back on the plush sofa. A sleek, white kitchen has everything you need for self-catering, but with a litany of local restaurants and bars on your doorstep, you might just use it for the odd balcony cocktail or morning coffee.
