Funchal (Santa Maria Maior), Funchal
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.

Funchal (São Pedro), Funchal
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.

Caniço, Santa Cruz
You could never tire of the ever-changing sea views from the private suntrap balcony of this exquisite apartment set in the pretty village of Reis Magos. Adored for its charming promenade and postcard-pretty pebble beach with crystal-clear waters for swimming (just one kilometre away), the pace of life is slower here than its neighbouring cousins, Caniço (five minutes by car) and a smidge further, Funchal – which is just how we like things.
