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.
