With palm prints aplenty and even a palm tree nestled indoors next to the window, this chic apartment reminds you of your tropical location at every turn. We love how light and welcoming this home is – with the sun streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, the whole space glows. With a neutral base palette, this apartment is far from shy and retiring – pops of colour adorn every room and bold prints feature throughout. We couldn’t give it a greater compliment than saying it just incites a feeling of happiness – and what more could you want from your Portuguese getaway? For those craving a bit of exercise, there’s a communal pool and on-site gym you can make the most of here. For a more laid-back vibe, soak up the sun poolside or take a stroll into Funchal to find somewhere to sample the local cuisine. After a day exploring, relax on the private balcony with loved ones and a bottle of wine, toasting your time together as the sun sinks over the sea.
