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. Step through sliding doors into a bright and breezy open layout living space with comfy seating, a rustic wooden dining table and a sleek kitchen with a 50s-inspired chequerboard floor. Elsewhere, the main bedroom also benefits from direct access to the outdoors, so you can wake up to outstanding 180-degree vistas each morning. Steps away from your front door, not even the scenic Miradouro do Lazareto can compete with your private panorama. Stroll along the cliffs towards the narrow, winding alleys of Funchal's charming Zona Velha, but not before hopping on the cable car up to Monte for a whole new perspective on the city.
