Find your home away from home in this cosy and stylish apartment in central Funchal. See the sights from the private balcony with a perfect elevated view over the city, and get some remote work done at the bedroom desk. You'll be close enough to walk to most of the city's hotspots, and the fully-equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing a small feast in the evening after a long day of exploring the surrounding city.

You'll be a breezy stroll from the marina, where you can appreciate a romantic sunset enjoy an adrenaline-filled day out on the glittering sea. With no shortage of opportunities at your fingertips for shopping, eateries, and cultural sights, the hardest decision will be what to do first. When you return home, sink into a hot bath and unwind before drifting off to a restful night's sleep.

Carmine Comforts

From the blossoming garden and fragrant scent of herbs to the elevated views, this is the kind of home that celebrates the unique spirit of its setting. And whether you’re looking for a slow-paced island getaway or an action-packed adventure, this location makes it easy to experience the magic of Medeira. 

Sitting peacefully on the hills of Santa Maria Maior with the old town just a five-minute walk away, the owners have styled this space to enrich daily living.

Wake up early and watch the sunrise from the roof terrace, spend a slow morning swaying in the garden hammock and gather for golden-hour drinks with local delicacies as the sun goes down. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, you’ll find an abundance of space to relax and unwind. Remote workers will also appreciate the dedicated workspace in the loft – which by night transforms into an additional bedroom for two guests. 

From here, follow the ocean breeze down to the seafront or walk to the renowned Lavradores Market – the perfect opportunity to mingle with locals and sample traditional Madeiran cuisine. 

Drop of Light  

Boasting views of Funchal Marina and the indigo Atlantic Ocean, this ideally located apartment guarantees rest and relaxation. After a much-deserved lie-in, throw open your bedroom curtains and let the natural light pour through the windows. Step out onto the balcony and fill your lungs with fresh sea air before sitting down to a light breakfast in the sunshine. When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find the best of Funchal at your fingertips. You’re a short walk stroll from the Sacred Art Museum and a fifteen-minute walk from the cable car, which takes you to Monte or the Botanical Garden. 

Spend late afternoons feasting on traditional Madeira dishes in a local restaurant or pick up ingredients from the Mercado dos Lavradores and cook up a storm at home. As night begins to fall, pour yourself a glass of Poncha and toast to another idyllic day on the island. 

This Time Around

Take in breathtaking views over the city of Funchal, the sea, and the surrounding hills from your stylish Madeiran apartment. Not only is the south-facing balcony the perfect spot to relax and take in the stunning scenery, but it's also bathed in sunlight throughout the day, allowing you to top up your tan in peace. 

Step inside through the sliding doors, and discover a stylish interior that's heavily influenced by Japanese folklore and Eastern religious iconography. When combined with the sea views, the apartment leaves you feeling zen. 

Located on a hillside in a quiet residential neighbourhood, you're within walking distance of the city centre, allowing you to easily explore the labyrinthine streets of the old town, sample local produce at the bustling Mercado dos Lavradores, and hop on the scenic cable car to Monte for even more outstanding views. At the end of the day, the uphill leg home might seem like a step too far. However, taxis and local buses are on hand to take the strain. 

Red Crown Crane

This fabulous Funchal Bay pad, adjacent to the historic Palheiro Gardens make the perfect couple’s retreat. Boasting interiors designed by a well-known Portuguese interior architect, not to mention a beautiful balcony and breath-taking ocean views at every turn, this heavenly home really does have it all. As if it couldn’t get better than that, you’ll also have access to a range of resort facilities including indoor and outdoor pools and a health and fitness centre.

You’ll love waking up to endless Atlantic Ocean views and taking your morning coffee out onto the balcony for more of the same. While away hours reading, reclining or simply gazing out to sea before whipping up a light lunch and dining alfresco around the glass-topped table. At chillier times of year, you’ll relish retreating inside and cosying up on the sofa by the fireplace. 

Alternatively, why not start the day with a little light cardio before lazing on loungers in the sun or taking the plunge in the outdoor pool. If you fancy more of a pamper session get your sweat on in the sauna before luxuriating in the indoor pool or treating yourself to a well-earned massage. Golf-lovers are sure to round up a day spent out on the 18-hole course with a celebratory meal at the on-site club house or the resort’s gourmet restaurant.  


Magical Madeiran Dream

Close to the centre of Maderia's beautiful capital, this charming apartment couldn't be better placed for exploring Funchal's harbour, cathedrals and wine cellars. Spend your days wandering through streets of Gothic architecture, surfing the waves of the North Atlantic Ocean or playing a few rounds of golf on one of the city's famous courses.

With an array of local restaurants and cafes on your doorstep, you won't be short of choices when dinner time comes around, but if you fancy a quiet meal at home then the terrace is perfect for an alfresco affair with magnificent views. The kitchen is fully equipped and has everything you need to flex your culinary muscle, or pick up some takeout if you want to relax as soon as you get home. The balcony is definitely the jewel of this home, offering a quiet spot in the midst of the city to soak up the sunshine and sit back and enjoy a good book, or unwind for the evening with a glass of wine.

Land of Eternal Spring

Just a short walk from the heart of Funchal, this home provides a great base for an inspiring city stay. Stroll to nearby restaurants, visit iconic sights or explore Madeira’s beautiful beaches – just a short drive away. Back at home, you’ll find the little balcony provides a sweet spot for sunset drinks, while the rooms offer a simple yet calm space to relax and unwind. You will need to bring your own essentials, but it’s an ideal option for couples or families with a handy sofa bed in the living room. Your host can also help organise a range of extra services – including catering and guided tours. 

The Flower Blossom

Sleek and elegant, this Funchal apartment is an ideal base for a small family or two couples on a Madeira stay. We love the private balcony with sea views – just the spot to start the day, coffee and pastel de nata in hand. Suitably nourished, you’ll find plenty to occupy your time in the local area. With shops, cafes, restaurants and bars a stone’s throw away, authentic Portuguese food is always on the menu. Fancy cooling off in the heat? Formosa Beach and the Lido promenade and pools are within easy reach. 

Madeira Sunrise

This stunning apartment is the perfect place to stay for a city vacation in Madeira. The apartment is located in the heart of Funchal, just steps from the Mercado dos Lavradores and the lively nightlife. The apartment features three spacious suites, each with a private shower, a living room, dining room, open-space kitchen island, guest toilet and a separate laundry room. The balconies offer captivating views of the city and the rooftop swimming pool offers a relaxing place to soak up the sun.

Luxury & Refined

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.

Glistening Blue

With just a five-minute walk into the heart of Funchal, this modern apartment has a fantastic location. It's located in one of the city's most prestigious areas, close to supermarkets, pharmacies, shops, bars, theatres and the Casino of Madeira. Adjacent to the casino, you'll find the pretty Santa Catarina Park, with its amazing views of the bay of Funchal. Other attractions, such as the cathedral and marina, are within a ten-minute stroll, too, while the aerobus bus stop for the airport is also within a five-minute saunter.

Back at this apartment, go for a dip in the communal pool to cool off or relax on your private balcony. We adore the vistas over Funchal, the ocean, and the São João Baptista do Pico Fortress – enjoy them from here or indoors with a glass of Madeira. Lots of botanical prints and vases of flowers give this place a home-from-home feel. This place is perfect for a group of friends or a family (we mustn't forget to mention, there's a shared children's playground on the development).
