This delightful apartment is situated in the hills of Funchal, making it the perfect base to explore this historic city. The home evokes a feeling of calm, and with views of lush greenery and the Atlantic Ocean in the distance, you’ll forget you’re even in the city. Step outside the front door and you’ll be immersed in the rich culture of Portugal. Take a trip to one of the local Madeiran farmer’s markets, selling fresh produce. You might even see street dancers performing a traditional Portuguese dance, like the vira, in colourful bouffant skirts. Don’t miss visiting the town square, decorated with black and white checkered tiles and surrounded by bars, restaurants and shops. After a day exploring, why not take a dip in the pool or perch on a comfy chair with a good book? Or dine alfresco on the balcony while you take in the ocean breeze? Whether you’re here to relax or explore, this home is perfect for discovering all that Funchal has to offer.
