Contemporary decor, calming colour schemes and unique artwork all make this home feel like something special. Based in the vibrant coastal town of São Martinho, this peaceful dwelling sits just a short drive from the heart of Funchal, and is also within easy walking distance of wonderful bars and restaurants for casual nights out. We love the outdoor area, where you'll find a gorgeous private pool where you can float on a lilo with a cocktail in hand, and plenty of poolside loungers where you can enjoy relaxing in the sunshine. Inside, you'll find a charming home-from-home that has everything you need for an effortless stay. We love the fully-equipped, modern kitchen, where you can cook up Madeiran feasts of espetada to tuck into together around the dining set. There's also a lounge area where you can rest and recoup after long days in the sun.
