A superb space for a larger group, this detached home near Funchal has everything you want from a stay on the beautiful island of Madeira. A place famous for its subtropical gardens and its sweeping views, you'll get both here and plenty more besides. Set in its own lush grounds, the villa is imposing and attractive – set high up overlooking the neighbourhood and with panoramic sea views. Inside, it's spacious, modern and stylish, with sociable living spaces allowing your gang to all hang out together over drinks and play pool in the evenings. Outside there's a swimming pool and a hot tub, and there are plenty of private spots and first floor balconies if you'd like some time in the sun to yourself. Meals can be rustled up in the well-stocked kitchen and served either at one of the dining tables indoors or out on the covered terrace. And if some of your party prefer a little more independence, there's a suite consisting of three bedrooms and two reception rooms in part of the house – which could be ideal if two families are sharing. Close to the sea and on a quiet road, there are a few shops... and restaurants within walking distance, while the delights of the capital are just a short drive away.

Made up of three main islands (Madeira, Porto Santo and Desertas), this geographical marvel flung out in the Atlantic is regularly voted Europe’s best island escape. And with its deliciously temperate climate year-round, extraordinary tropical flora and fauna, dramatic forested mountains and hilltop villages, it’s easy to see why. Start by exploring Madeira’s capital...
