Just ten minutes' drive from the charming cobbles, street cafes and pretty squares of Madeira's capital of Funchal, this apartment has everything you need for a warm-weather European getaway. Wake up each morning to spectacular views of the black volcanic sand beach of Praia Formosa. Then, take your pick from one of two scenic balconies to enjoy your morning coffee as you look out over the glistening Atlantic and weigh up how much, or how little, you fancy doing today. The open-plan living space is all calming greens and tropical prints that mirror the island's beauty, with a light-coloured corner sofa and blonde wooden furniture to keep things feeling light and airy. The stark white and stainless steel combo in the state-of-the-art kitchen will have you ready and raring to cook, or at the very least, have a look in the fridge and then decide to go out for dinner. The bedrooms make the switch to soothing blue hues that lull you to sleep against the backdrop of the waves lapping the shoreline. After a restful night's sleep, you'll have plenty of energy to burn in the well-equipped gym before settling in for a relaxing day by the shared pool,... complete with awe-inspiring coastal vistas.

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...
