Indigo Sky

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

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.

Madeiran Movie

Access to Beach

Step onto the balcony and you'll see why we adore this Funchal pad. The views are breathtaking – not only can you see the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the jagged edge of Cabo Girão in the distance, but you'll also have a birds-eye view of the communal pool. Day or night, it's a delightful place to sip coffee or cocktails and rest your feet, breathing in the fresh sea air and watching as the sun dips below the horizon. Inside is just as peaceful as the breezy layout and light-filled living space show off the scenery. Everything is glossy and modern, especially the sleek kitchen, which comes fully equipped to make self-catering easy. We love the quirky palm wallpaper behind the dining table, and the plush sofa is just what you need after a busy day. Speaking of, spend afternoons relaxing by the pool or grab a towel and hit the beach – Praia Formosa's pebbly shore is a thirteen-minute walk away. If you're in the mood to do a bit of shopping, Forum Madeira is a twenty-minutes on foot, while the Promenade do Lido is excellent for evening strolls along the water. There are many world-class restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby, but you can always head into Funchal city centre for more options – it's just a seven-minute drive.

Charming Madeiran Hideaway

Jacuzzi

Hot Tub

In a prime location on the coast near Funchal, it's close to the seafront promenade, beaches and local supermarkets and only a twenty-minute walk from the city itself. Inside, it's a bright space with plenty of room for a family or a group. Contemporary design features heavily so look out for details like inset shelving, a high-end mint green kitchen, wall murals and statement lighting. And its outside space really sets this place apart. There's a small balcony with a glass safety barrier just off the lounge and from there you can gaze down straight into the crystal clear waters. Most unusually, to the side of the apartment there's a covered barbecue and dining spot, with big glass doors at either end allowing you to open both, just one or keep them closed in the cooler months. Views from its rear look out across the neighbourhood, while to the front there's only the blue sky and the sea. An added bonus is the uncovered part of this terrace, which houses this home's secret weapon – a private, sea-view hot tub. Elsewhere in the building, there's also a shared outdoor pool. 

Blue Dawn

Throws

Part of a former fine arts school, this apartment is the perfect spot to kick back and unwind.

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. 

Speaking of adventures, you're smack-dab in the heart of Funchal's historic streets, so you'll have plenty to discover nearby.

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

If you’re looking to be in the heart of Funchal, you can’t do much better than this little spot peering over Madeira's rooftops, the Jardim Municipal do Funchal and the mountains. The star of the show is the pretty terrace complete with outdoor seating, so you can enjoy morning coffees in the crisp island air and sip pre-dinner cocktails in the balmy summer evenings.

Back at home, the living area is wonderfully bright and modern – belying its building's 200-year-old history – with a window-side dining table providing the perfect place to enjoy a quiet Portuguese-inspired meal. Alternatively, head downstairs and make a beeline for the hidden winery, where you'll be able to sample the local grape during a wine-tasting session and enjoy a romantic dinner in the restaurant – with a complimentary ticket for tasting and a discount for dinner, it would be rude not to.

This Time Around

Fenced Garden

Garden Games

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.

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.

Let's not beat about the bush, folks. It's those glorious suntrap terraces with seaviews framed by lofty palms taking all the glory at this oh-so-central Funchal apartment, and deservedly so. It's a picturesque spot, whatever the time of day.

Stepping inside this sophisticated home, you'll love the light-filled, uplifting feel of the space, and there's no need to tussle for the best bedroom here. Both rooms are as elegant as the next, offering separate bathrooms and direct access to the sun-kissed terraces outside. 

When it's time for a dose of sea air, you couldn't dream up a better location. One of the city's most beloved beaches with a magnificent natural swimming pool (cameras at the ready, folks) is just a short flip-flop away. Then take a mosey along the promenade – a sunny spot at a seafront bar is waiting just for you to toast the day's end over sundowners. Or hop in the car bound for Funchal's centre (a five-minute drive) to keep the night flowing with Fado music and Poncha cocktails in the happening Zona Velha neighbourhood – it's just like you imagined, only better.

Eternal Palms 

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

Just a short walk from the heart of Funchal, this home provides a great base for an inspiring city stay. Stroll to nearby restaurants, visit iconic sights or explore Madeira’s beautiful beaches – just a short drive away. Back at home, you’ll find the little balcony provides a sweet spot for sunset drinks, while the rooms offer a simple yet calm space to relax and unwind. You will need to bring your own essentials, but it’s an ideal option for couples or families with a handy sofa bed in the living room. Your host can also help organise a range of extra services – including catering and guided tours. 

The Flower Blossom

Games Room

If it’s incredible views you seek, you’ve hit the jackpot here. This duplex apartment offers unrivalled views of Funchal, with the red-roofed cityscape, backed by sloping mountains and cliffs, meeting the Pacific Ocean. From this elevated position, the commanding view is truly exceptional, especially when the sky blends into reddish hues at dusk. 

Stepping inside, you’ll find an interior which is modern without lacking character. Contemporary meets mid-century with the furnishings, while rattan touches and verdant plants bring the home to life. It’s been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the view – when sinking into the sofa after a day on your feet, the TV is suddenly a lot less interesting. And when the sun starts to go down, the whole home is awash with the comforting hues of the sky. You’ll feel compelled to step out onto your balcony – morning coffees, afternoon cocktails, and nightcaps are a bit more special here.

There’s a lot to love about this home, including the fantastic location. Standing high on this hillside, you’re neighbouring the incredible Fortaleza do Pico – a 17th-century fort. Despite the altitude, you’re actually just a few minutes' walk away from the city centre and all its mouth-watering restaurants, museums, wine bars, and cultural landmarks. If you’re not racing home to make it back in time for sunset, you’ll love taking a walk along the romantic promenade at dusk.

The Work of Picasso

This modern two-bedroom apartment is located in the prestigious area of Funchal, Madeira. The apartment is close to all your needs, such as supermarkets, pharmacies, stores, the Forum Madeira shopping center and several bars and restaurants with drinks and typical Madeiran dishes. About three kilometers from the apartment you'll find Praia Formosa, which is great for swimming and sunbathing on the pebbles and black sand. The city of Funchal is just a five-minute drive away. You should also know that in the center of Funchal there are various tourist attractions and information on cultural activities, radical activities and nature activities, whatever the purpose of your visit to Madeira Island.

In the Heart of Funchal

Smart TV

You’ll find this practical yet homely apartment in the heart of Funchal, no more than 400 metres from cafes, bars, restaurants and the La Vie shopping centre. Visit the Sacred Art Museum and the Gothic-style Funchal Cathedral before finding a spot to picnic in the peaceful Santa Catarina Park. If a day at the beach sounds like a good idea, take the short drive to Praia Formosa and stretch out on the sand. 

Back at your abode, an open-plan living space invites you to kick off your shoes and make yourself comfortable. Rustle up something tasty at the fully-equipped kitchenette or fall back onto the sofa with a good book. Outside, there’s a large terrace for barbecues on balmy afternoons and glasses of traditional Poncha come nighttime. And when you’re ready to get some rest, the king-size bed guarantees a restful slumber.
