Stay in the charming seaside town of Canico de Baixo, not too far from Funchal. Enjoy the best of both worlds from your enviable location – lazy days on the pristine beaches, and nights in the bustling capital city. It's not just the location that makes this apartment special. The tiled balcony presents you with an awe-inspiring view of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching far beyond what the eye can see. Savour those laidback mornings of reading, coffees, pastries and fresh fruit at your balcony table, with the salty sea breeze hanging in the air. After a day of exploring, be sure to make it home for dusk – nothing beats watching the fiery sun lower into the sea, a glass of Madeiran wine in hand. Days can be spent lounging on the nearby beaches – Reis Magos beach is just a five-minute drive away – and exploring the old village of terracotta-roofed houses. No trip to Madeira is complete without a hike or two – when you're among such a gorgeous landscape, you'll be itching to see it up close.
