Sometimes all you need are sea views, a glass of wine and a place where you can sit back, relax and soak up the sunshine. Well, this light-filled home has two of the three – just pick up a bottle of Madeira's famous vino and you're all set. Chances are you'll make a beeline straight for the outdoor spaces, and trust us when we say you'll spend most of your time here unwinding alfresco on the wicker chairs. The glimpse of the Atlantic is fantastic, and with two balconies to choose from, you'll have double the chances to relish in it. Pad out to the upper terrace first thing in the morning to enjoy your café con leche in the fresh air, then retreat to the downstairs balcony for cocktails come sunset. We also really love how breezy the sleek living space feels, while the two-floor layout ensures everyone will have enough room to spread out and get comfortable. Outside, Rampa do Lido's promenade is just a short stroll away. Enjoy a wander along the water before heading to one of the local restaurants for dinner. There isn't a beach here, but you can still swim in the sea by... climbing down the ladders or you can visit the oceanfront Complexo Balnear do Lido when you fancy a dip in the pool. Plus, the centre of Funchal is only ten minutes by car, making it perfect for sightseeing.
