Situated in the heart of the city, this stylish studio apartment really packs a punch. As soon as you step inside and set your suitcases down, your eyes will be drawn to the stunning sea views visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. With walls of glass wrapping around the home and the sunlight bouncing off the water outside, this home is bathed in natural light. When you wake in the morning, roll out of bed, pour yourself a coffee and settle down on the sofa to drink in the vista as you plan how to spend your day. If you fancy a swim before heading out to explore, the shared pool offers the perfect respite from the Portuguese sun, or you could choose to soak up the rays beside it, holiday read in hand. Locally, you have a plethora of restaurants, bars and shops to enjoy or if you fancy a stroll in the sun, there’s a beautiful promenade that will take you to Funchal Marina and the CR7 museum, for those footy fans amongst you.
