Located in an old embroidery factory, right in the heart of Funchal, this modern apartment is the perfect base from which to explore Madeira’s capital city and textile history – you’ll find little reminders of the island’s needlework past dotted around the home. The archipelago is known for its year-round sunshine and your hosts have ensured you won’t miss a second of it. Light spills through the wall to wall windows, not interrupted for a second by the bedroom’s sliding glass doors, ensuring every corner is brightly illuminated. And what’s more, there’s a shared rooftop terrace complete with a summer kitchen and hanging chair - an ideal spot to while away those balmy afternoons. You’re a hop, skip and jump from the farmers’ market where you’ll find the very best local produce and only a five-minute walk to the Sacred Art Museum of Funchal. Should you need a break from the city heat, it’s a ten minute mosey to the marina for cool breezes and the freshest seafood you’ll ever taste.

Cue swoon-worthy panoramic views, cocktails on the terrace, and an all-around lavish experience at this waterfront villa inviting guests to enjoy Funchal in a truly luxurious setting. You'll be able to take in the crystalline ocean views from pretty much wherever you are in the home. Still, our favourite spot, without a shadow of a doubt, is the infinity swimming pool (preferably with a cold beverage in hand). Relish in the open air, with the manicured gardens, alfresco dining areas and secluded balcony corners for moments of reflection – all while pinching yourself that this is real. 

Inside, wonderful artwork selections and finishing touches create an atmospheric space dripping in antique Madeiran elegance. The home's central hub extends upwards with two-story ceilings and a large salon – perfect for hosting receptions or social affairs. Meanwhile, marble archways lead out to the wrap-around balcony, which frames the spectacular seascape like a painting on the wall. Each bedroom and bathroom suite provides guests with blissful privacy and the opportunity for moments of solitude when needed. 

Only two minutes from the beach, you'll be within convenient reach of many quality restaurants, bars and shops, alongside the city of Funchal's fabulous cultural hot spots and picturesque harbour.

Safe

Situated in the heart of the city, this stylish studio apartment really packs a punch. As soon as you step inside and set your suitcases down, your eyes will be drawn to the stunning sea views visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. With walls of glass wrapping around the home and the sunlight bouncing off the water outside, this home is bathed in natural light. When you wake in the morning, roll out of bed, pour yourself a coffee and settle down on the sofa to drink in the vista as you plan how to spend your day. If you fancy a swim before heading out to explore, the shared pool offers the perfect respite from the Portuguese sun, or you could choose to soak up the rays beside it, holiday read in hand. 

Locally, you have a plethora of restaurants, bars and shops to enjoy or if you fancy a stroll in the sun, there’s a beautiful promenade that will take you to Funchal Marina and the CR7 museum, for those footy fans amongst you.

Looking for a smart, fuss-free bolthole in the heart of bustling Funchal? We've got you covered. This stylish studio apartment housed in the city's former fine arts school ticks all the boxes.

Carefully reimagined for modern-day living, the architects have carefully preserved the old (would you look at that chequered marble entrance and sweeping staircase) while embracing the new with slick marble-clad bathrooms and designer kitchens. And though this may be studio living, everywhere feels uplifting and inviting thanks to those dual aspect windows bathing the apartment in natural daylight and lofty ceilings opening up the space. 

Ready to soak up the local culture and meet the locals? Then you've come to the right place. All the must-sees are within walking distance from here. Get off to a flying start at the see-and-be-seen, newly renovated lido on the seafront. And when thoughts turn to food (and perhaps a glass of something crisp?), you're in foodie heaven here. Dive into the stellar eating and drinking destinations on your doorstep or blaze a trail to the famous farmer's market, Mercado dos Lavradores, just a hop, skip and a jump away.

With just a five-minute walk into the heart of Funchal, this modern apartment has a fantastic location. It's located in one of the city's most prestigious areas, close to supermarkets, pharmacies, shops, bars, theatres and the Casino of Madeira. Adjacent to the casino, you'll find the pretty Santa Catarina Park, with its amazing views of the bay of Funchal. Other attractions, such as the cathedral and marina, are within a ten-minute stroll, too, while the aerobus bus stop for the airport is also within a five-minute saunter.

Back at this apartment, go for a dip in the communal pool to cool off or relax on your private balcony. We adore the vistas over Funchal, the ocean, and the São João Baptista do Pico Fortress – enjoy them from here or indoors with a glass of Madeira. Lots of botanical prints and vases of flowers give this place a home-from-home feel. This place is perfect for a group of friends or a family (we mustn't forget to mention, there's a shared children's playground on the development).



Welcome to the Fortress

Rooftop Terrace

Take advantage of Madeira's year-round warm climate and relax on this modern apartment's balcony and roof terrace. There's a barbecue up here for a lunchtime feast, and we love the views over the city. Or cool off from the sun in the communal pool. There's a children's play area within this gated development too, so this place is perfect for families as well as friends. Inside the apartment, you'll find large sliding patio doors allowing plenty of natural light to flood in and a monochrome scheme.

The location is excellent, too – this home is located in one of the city's most prestigious areas, close to supermarkets, pharmacies, shops, bars, theatres and the Casino of Madeira. Adjacent to the casino, you'll find the pretty Santa Catarina Park, with its amazing views of the bay of Funchal. Walk into the heart of Funchal in around five minutes, while other attractions, such as the cathedral and marina, are within a ten-minute stroll, too. 


Roof of Madeira

Rain Shower

It's those show-stopping balcony views of Funchal's charming rooftops and glistening sea beyond taking all the glory at this luxurious apartment perched right in the heart of the city. But there's much to be admired inside this high-style bolthole too.

Set in the city's former School of Fine Art, there's some serious design wizardry at play here. While historic features nod to the building's grand past and bring the wow factor (that sweeping staircase and marble-clad foyer are a case in point), everywhere else is a masterstroke in modern living.

Free-flowing and light-filled, the space is cleverly zoned into living and sleeping spaces with a high-spec, marble-clad bathroom at its heart. Sunny mornings call for lazy breakfasts at the bistro table for two with the balcony doors flung open wide. There's everything you could need to rustle up brunch and mimosas in the designer kitchen with a view. Or keep things easy and do like the locals with freshly brewed coffees and obligatory pastel de natas.

When it's time to stretch your legs and explore, you can easily wander to all the city's hotspots from here – starting with the charming marina for a dose of fresh sea air. Then the rest of the day is yours to lose yourself to the city's atmospheric streets, stumbling across Fado bars for live music and Poncha cocktails along the way – just like you imagined.  

A Fine Art

For an immersive escape into the majestic beauty of Madeira, this apartment transports you to the vibrant cultural landscape of central Funchal. 

From slow morning strolls along the waterfront to lazy afternoons on the nearby lido, and evening drinks in oceanfront bars, this is the perfect setting for a laid-back retreat. And when you’re looking for an inspiring yet quiet space to relax amidst your island adventures, you’ll find this apartment waiting with a warm welcome. 

With its history as the School of Fine Arts, the owners have transformed this building into a contemporary city sanctuary – creating a refreshingly simple apartment that brings comfort to daily living. And just like a blank canvas, this is the kind of space that inspires you to make it your own. 

Enjoy planning your day from the snug sofa or keep things spontaneous and let the city be your guide. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the waterfront, while the centuries-old Cathedral and Funchal Municipal Garden are also within easy reach.

With everything right on your doorstep, you'll be living like a local with a city break at this top-floor apartment in Downtown Funchal. On the top floor of a historic building in the old part of town, it's set on a narrow street with shops, bars, and restaurants below – yet it's still surprisingly quiet at night. A good size for a couple or a small family, it has modern interiors, all-white walls, and pretty parquet flooring. The living space includes a small but well-equipped kitchen and a dining table, while the bedroom is behind a large set of pocket doors, meaning it can be closed off for privacy or remain open to create a more flexible space.

Close by you'll find the famous farmers’ market (Mercado dos Lavradores), the historic centre of Funchal and the Cathedral, while Funchal Marina is within walking distance too.
