This fabulous Funchal Bay pad, adjacent to the historic Palheiro Gardens make the perfect couple’s retreat. Boasting interiors designed by a well-known Portuguese interior architect, not to mention a beautiful balcony and breath-taking ocean views at every turn, this heavenly home really does have it all. As if it couldn’t get better than that, you’ll also have access to a range of resort facilities including indoor and outdoor pools and a health and fitness centre.

You’ll love waking up to endless Atlantic Ocean views and taking your morning coffee out onto the balcony for more of the same. While away hours reading, reclining or simply gazing out to sea before whipping up a light lunch and dining alfresco around the glass-topped table. At chillier times of year, you’ll relish retreating inside and cosying up on the sofa by the fireplace. 

Alternatively, why not start the day with a little light cardio before lazing on loungers in the sun or taking the plunge in the outdoor pool. If you fancy more of a pamper session get your sweat on in the sauna before luxuriating in the indoor pool or treating yourself to a well-earned massage. Golf-lovers are sure to round up a day spent out on the 18-hole course with a celebratory meal at the on-site club house or the resort’s gourmet restaurant.

Historical Elegance

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. But this home's crowning glory is definitely its spacious private terrace. With tables and chairs, it's the perfect spot for breakfast each morning or pre-dinner drinks in the evenings. 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.

Terracotta Top

Ice Machine

Cosmopolitan in style and location yet natural in design, this charming apartment offers the perfect base for exploring Madeira. We love the balcony here – just the spot to enjoy your morning coffee as the city of Funchal wakes below. Tilt your head to the sky and feel the sun warm your face, and you’ll feel utterly relaxed. Inside the apartment is just as delightful. Flooded with natural light from the French doors, the comfortable sofa invites you to settle down, put your feet up and recharge your batteries. If you’re planning on eating in, you have a fully equipped kitchen so you can rustle up a home-cooked meal and enjoy a dinner party with loved ones. Let your food settle over a large glass of Maderia wine as you watch the sunset behind the mountains – there aren’t many better ways to spend an evening. 

With numerous restaurants, bars and stunning scenery on your doorstep, you will have plenty of ways to fill your days. Enjoy a stroll to the marina or head to the Botanical Garden, soak up some culture at one of the many museums, or enjoy a wine tour. However you choose to spend your time, with its perfect location, this fabulous apartment really does offer the best of both worlds – natural beauty and a dynamic city, so you’re guaranteed a memorable stay. 

A Range of Heart

Access to Beach

If you’re after unobstructed ocean views, look no further than this penthouse apartment overlooking the vast Atlantic. With all three bedrooms offering access to the sprawling terrace, getting up on a Monday morning has never felt so good. Start the day with a light breakfast in the sunshine – watch the waves roll is as you tuck into traditional Portuguese pastries washed down with a strong coffee. 

Inside, it’s fuss-free and homely with a squashy leather sofa for kicking back with a glass of traditional Poncho in the evenings. When you’re ready to explore, we recommend taking the short drive into Funchal. Check out the Fortress of São Tiago, Museum of Sacred Art and Santa Catarina Park. Take it easy and relax on Formosa Beach or if you're in the mood for something a little more exciting, why not embark on a whale-watching adventure? 

Mimosa & Bergamot

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

Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Funchal as you discover all it has to offer.

Sophisticated Oasis

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.

Uma Bela Arte

This bright and minimalist flat located on the third floor of a traditional building in Funchal is a great place to base your coastal city escape from.

And whether you’re looking for a slow-paced island getaway or an action-packed adventure, this location makes it easy to experience the magic of Medeira. 

Sitting peacefully on the hills of Santa Maria Maior with the old town just a five-minute walk away, the owners have styled this space to enrich daily living.

Wake up early and watch the sunrise from the roof terrace, spend a slow morning swaying in the garden hammock and gather for golden-hour drinks with local delicacies as the sun goes down. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, you’ll find an abundance of space to relax and unwind. Remote workers will also appreciate the dedicated workspace in the loft – which by night transforms into an additional bedroom for two guests. 

From here, follow the ocean breeze down to the seafront or walk to the renowned Lavradores Market – the perfect opportunity to mingle with locals and sample traditional Madeiran cuisine. 

Drop of Light  

Light and bright, this stylish studio apartment is just the ticket for a Funchal getaway. With its soothing coastal colour palette of blues, greens and greys, this pad radiates laid-back living, and the view of the Cathedral of Funchal from the large window is icing on the cake. Wake up each morning to sunlight streaming into the apartment before tucking into a coffee and a pastry at the snug dining table. Then, head out for a day of sightseeing – you're just a ten-minute walk from Old Town's charming cobblestoned streets, picturesque merchant houses and painted front doors. Pick up some flowers from the Mercado dos Lavradores, stroll along the harbour or take a cable car ride over the city. In the evenings, grab dinner at a local restaurant and sip Poncha – a famous Madeiran drink made with sugar cane rum, honey and lemon – as the sun goes down over the ocean. When your feet are tired from the day's adventures, come home and unwind on the sofa before getting a good night's sleep in the comfortable bed.

Cyan Skies

Sitting within the former School of Fine Arts, this thoughtfully renovated apartment provides the perfect base from which to explore Funchal. 

Just a short walk from the seafront with easy access to the surrounding mountains, you’ll find your stay enriched by the natural beauty and cultural depth of Madeira. 

Enjoy slow morning strolls by the marina, spend a lazy afternoon at the nearby lido and mingle with locals in the colourful weekly market. And when you’re looking for total rest and relaxation, this apartment has everything you could need for a fulfilling stay. 

From the open-plan design to the soft, natural tones, the owners have styled this home to ensure maximum comfort. So whether you’re here with an action-packed itinerary, or to enjoy the magic of the island, this is the kind of space that transforms to suit the mood of the moment.

Perched on the edge of Madeira’s south coast, this charming home has got ‘summer’ written all over it, boasting light-drenched interiors and a lush, tree-lined garden with views towards the Atlantic. There might not be a ton of showstopping amenities at this home, but that doesn’t mean we can’t see ourselves spending all day relaxing here, book in one hand and glass of wine in the other as one of our fellow guests rustles up a Portuguese-inspired feast in the kitchen. We can almost taste the seafood now…

If you fancy a change of scenery, though, you’re within easy reach of Praia Formosa, known for its black pebbles and sand. Settle in for a day of sunbathing or slip into your swimming trunks and go for a refreshing dip in the glistening water followed by a small plate or two at one of the local restaurants. Then, when you’ve had your daily dose of being out and about, head back home and watch the sun set from your private balcony. We can’t think of a better way to end the day.

Cliffside Oasis

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.

Indigo Sky

It’s not too long ago that Funchal's artists gathered and conjured up their finest works in this home. Formerly the School of Fine Arts, the building has since been transformed into a minimal city sanctuary, but without losing any of its original charm.

Inside, the rooms are bathed in natural light and styled with simple yet elegant furnishings. It’s the kind of space that retains its creative spirit – inspiring you to enjoy the beauty of the moment.

Accessible Parking

Secured Parking

Perched just outside Funchal's bustling centre, yet close enough to easily access all of the action, you'll get the best of both worlds from this residential spot. And with a private balcony offering a streetside view, your stay on the island can easily be centred around soaking up the Madeira sunshine.

Inside, classic designs offer an authentic slice of Madeira, while modern furnishings bring the space up to date with regard to quality, comfort and practicality. You'll be well-situated for soaking up the beaches, shops, bars, restaurants and cultural attractions of Funchal from here, as the central harbour – home to the Ronaldo museum – can be reached in around a half-hour walk. 



Harbour the Sun

This building was once a school of fine art in the heart of Funchal. It blends right in with the orange-roofed buildings of the historic centre and sits on a pretty, cobbled street. You can reach all the major sights and attractions of Madeira’s capital – dolphin and whale-watching tours, the gondola up into the hills and the restaurants, cafes and markets of the charming old streets. 

We love the entrance hallway to the apartment’s building – a perfect introduction to Funchal’s architecture – with its faded tile floor and arched marble doorframes. Stepping into the apartment, a palette of stone, slate and cotton keeps things feeling calmingly natural. The full kitchen is tucked behind the living area and has everything you need to turn the fresh produce of the nearby farmer’s market into salads, seafood feasts and stews. There’s enough room for the group to dine at the ink-black table, which can double as a desk if you need to work remotely. 

The Art Student

This comfortable and contemporary Funchal City home is perfect for a couple of couples or even a small family. Comprising a light-filled, open-plan kitchen, living and dining space – think whitewashed walls and wooden floors – this home has your back when it comes to both entertaining and relaxing. 

You’ll love taking your morning coffee at the gleaming marble breakfast bar before stepping into the walk-in shower and making a plan for the day. Spend time preparing firm family favourites in the all-white kitchen and dining altogether while putting the world to rights. Alternatively, spend time watching the world go by from your glass-fronted, street-view balcony before retreating inside for some well-earned chill time on the lounge-worthy L-shaped sofa.

If you fancy getting out and about, you’ll find you’re within walking distance of supermarkets, restaurants and bakeries while Praia Formosa, Marina do Funchal and Gorgulho-Gavinas Beach are also within easy reach. Those of you whose boots are made for walking will be delighted to know the public transport links here are excellent.

Tranquil Traditions

Jacuzzi

Just a ten-minute drive from the centre of this island's beautiful capital city, this stunning home is high on a hillside overlooking the glittering Atlantic. With large spaces for socialising both indoors and out and enough luxurious bedrooms for a big group, it's stylish, comfortable and comes with a wow-factor pool terrace built out over the slope. If you're coming to Madeira for the sea views, it's got some of the best around. Inside, it's a modern home with mainly white and grey tones and anthracite-framed windows and doors. The kitchen is sleek and high-spec, with a huge island breakfast bar, an indoor dining table and sliding glass doors out to a dining terrace with fabulous views. Several of the bedrooms have balconies and there are private outdoor spots for evening stargazing or morning coffees in peace. Dive into the huge pool to wake yourself up each morning or enjoy relaxing sunset swims before dinner. From here, you're just a short drive from the shops and restaurants of the city, but we suspect you'll spend most of your evenings grilling your meals on the barbecue – the views here are just too good to be missed.

Blue Altitude

If you’re looking for a central base, you can’t do much better than this charming apartment housed in a 200-year-old building overlooking the tropical town garden and the winery downstairs. Whether you’re here for the monuments, the architecture, or the world-class cuisine, this place has got you covered, situated within easy reach of Funchal's most celebrated attractions. Start with a coffee along the main promenade then set off for a day of sightseeing and shopping, making sure to stop by the cathedral or hop on a cable car to soak up stunning rooftop views of the capital. 

When you’ve had your fill of being out and about, you’ll come home to your stylish apartment with its ornate ceilings, warm tones and comfortable furnishings.  Rustle up a Portuguese-inspired dish in the kitchen, or if self-catering isn't on the cards, head down to the wine bar below for dinner and drinks – here, you'll benefit from a discount and a free ticket for a wine tasting, so you can test out the local grape before deciding on your favourite for dinner. 

The Wine Loft

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

Blessed with an enviable clifftop location looking out over Funchal Bay, we can envision long afternoons laid out on sun loungers that evolve into evenings on the terrace, with a glass of wine in hand, watching passing boats bobbing on the ocean waves as the sun slowly sinks towards the horizon.

While the Atlantic views have to be seen to be believed, the home's interior is equally as lovely. Step through sliding doors into a bright and breezy open layout living space with comfy seating, a rustic wooden dining table and a sleek kitchen with a 50s-inspired chequerboard floor. Elsewhere, the main bedroom also benefits from direct access to the outdoors, so you can wake up to outstanding 180-degree vistas each morning.

Steps away from your front door, not even the scenic Miradouro do Lazareto can compete with your private panorama. Stroll along the cliffs towards the narrow, winding alleys of Funchal's charming Zona Velha, but not before hopping on the cable car up to Monte for a whole new perspective on the city.

I See a Little Lazareto of a Man

Not only is this stylish, white-washed penthouse located right in the centre of Funchal, but it’s also a ten-minute walk to Barreirinha Beach. The pristine walls and muted colour scheme is drenched in glorious natural light thanks to the wrap-around windows in the living space. Wake up with the sunrise and sip an espresso at the dining nook before nipping over to the buzzing farmers’ market for ripe, juicy fruit and locally sourced produce. Put together a slap-up breakfast to be taken on your balcony; the views across the terracotta rooftops and boundless ocean are the perfect accompaniment. Spend mornings exploring your locale, enjoying a pit stop in traditional cafes and snacking on Madeiran biscuits under the violet blossom of jacaranda trees. In the late afternoon, head home to your terrace with a glass of the archipelago’s own fortified wine, watching the sky change colour as dusk begins to fall.

With a cool, modern decor accented with splashes of colour as well as lovely views over the town, this home certainly proves that small can most definitely be mighty.

Start your day with an authentic Madeiran breakfast and your favourite brew as the gentle morning sunshine streams through the large windows. Then, it's off to see what the island has to offer.

Situated behind the Funchal Municipal Garden, you'll find yourself ideally placed along one of the main arteries of the city. Take a short walk to the famous Municipal Theatre of Baltazar Dias. Or spend the day doing a spot of shopping along the city's leafy boulevards or stroll through the lovely Funchal Marina, perhaps stopping at one of the waterfront restaurants for a sampling of traditional Madeiran cuisine.

Madeiran Movie

You'll be within walking distance of many of  Funchal's main attractions here, from authentic local restaurants to picture-pretty gardens. Beach lovers will no doubt appreciate the location as a mix of sandy and pebbled shores are just a stroll away.

Island Breeze

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).

Luxury & Refined

Part of a former fine arts school, this apartment is the perfect spot to kick back and unwind. The building is full of character – winding staircases, exposed brick walls, tiled floors – while the apartment is a bit more modern. We love how bright it is, and the sleek, contemporary design only heightens how cosy it feels. We can already imagine lounging on the sofa – a glass of Madeira wine, optional – and gathering around the dining table to snack on a home-cooked Prego, a Madeiran steak sandwich. The comfortable bed will sure to be calling your name – snuggle in and wake up the next day feeling refreshed and ready for adventure.
