Located in a prestigious part of Funchal, this villa first opened its doors in 1882. You'll find this history reflected in its classical charm. You and your guests will feast like Lords and Ladies around the dining room, surrounded by well-appointed furniture and period paintings that adorn the walls. In stark contrast, the home comes with a modern kitchen, allowing the cook amongst your group to rustle up something special with ease. Upstairs you’ll find the bedrooms, each with period pieces that’ll send you back to a bygone age (but with much more comfortable beds). As an added bonus, each of the rooms provides a view of the bay. Although you’ll likely want a car if you’re looking to explore further into Madeira, this home is conveniently located near shops, supermarkets, bars, theatres, a casino and Santa Catarina Park (with its bay view, it’s perfect for scenic picnics). Home truths: *Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request – as this is subject to demand, we recommend letting them know beforehand *Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s free parking on the premises *The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
