Discover Funchal with ease from this breezy apartment. From here, you'll be close to the scenic promenade, a wealth of shops, bars and restaurants and, of course, the city's fabulous beaches. Just a kilometre from Formosa Beach, you'll be a short stroll away from diving opportunities and wild swimming in the refreshing Atlantic Ocean. Not to mention the incredible shopping opportunities and historical monuments found around Funchal that are also within walking distance. With a private balcony offering sea views, you'll be reminded of your island location from the moment you wake up. So step outside to breathe in the fresh ocean air before enjoying your morning coffee and breakfast at the alfresco dining spot. Inside the apartment, neutral earthy hues nod to the natural environment, while minimal designs present a fresh and fuss-free space that makes relaxing here easy.
