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

Nestled in hilly Monte, this picture-perfect home is steeped in Madeiran charm. Unwind in the open-plan living area or slide open the glass doors and head onto the deck, where you’ll be able to soak up uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean from the comfort of a poolside sun lounger. You might feel as though you’ve stepped straight into a glossy travel magazine, but it’s not all style over substance here. From the home lift to the outdoor kitchen’s electrically adjustable cover, you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay, so why not pour yourself a glass of wine and toast your coastal oasis? 

This is the kind of place you’ll be more than happy to linger in, but if you fancy a change of scenery, there’s plenty to keep you busy nearby. Wander down to the local bakery and treat yourself to a fresh pastry or two, then make your way into Funchal’s old town (2.2 kilometres away) to mingle with the locals. Snap a selfie by the city gates, savour a cocktail or two next to Funchal Bay, or simply soak up the atmosphere as you meander the cobbled streets. 

In Camera

Light and bright, this stylish studio apartment is just the ticket for a Funchal getaway. With its soothing coastal colour palette of blues, greens and greys, this pad radiates laid-back living, and the view of the Cathedral of Funchal from the large window is icing on the cake. Wake up each morning to sunlight streaming into the apartment before tucking into a coffee and a pastry at the snug dining table. Then, head out for a day of sightseeing – you're just a ten-minute walk from Old Town's charming cobblestoned streets, picturesque merchant houses and painted front doors. Pick up some flowers from the Mercado dos Lavradores, stroll along the harbour or take a cable car ride over the city. In the evenings, grab dinner at a local restaurant and sip Poncha – a famous Madeiran drink made with sugar cane rum, honey and lemon – as the sun goes down over the ocean. When your feet are tired from the day's adventures, come home and unwind on the sofa before getting a good night's sleep in the comfortable bed.

Cyan Skies

Not only is this home a five-minute walk from the heart of Funchal, but it’s also within fifteen minutes of the Lavradores Market and the cathedral.  As with many locations in Madeira, this place is on a hill, so expect a climb back home (or you could just get a cab). It’s worth it, though, as this apartment has a shared pool and gym. But the pool terrace is not the only outdoor space – this home has a private balcony overlooking lush greenery too. Your host even provides a tablet for accessing the internet.

Beams of Orange

This traditional restored villa dating back to 1871 lies in the hills of Funchal and is waiting to bless you with stunning views of the sea and the city. Take advantage of the private pool and the surrounding gardens abundant with palm trees and lush vegetation, as you soak in the sun from the comfort of the sun loungers. Gather the family at the dining table in the open-plan living space, or head to the conservatory where you can dine by the open log fire and large French windows, perfect for winter evenings. You can also fire up the barbecue and dine under the sun – the perfect way to spend an afternoon. For those hoping to keep up productivity and get some remote work done during their stay, there's a dedicated desk in the main living area. Set your laptop up and enjoy the sunshine, then head out for some laps in the pool or work on that perfect holiday tan.

No car? No problem. You'll be within easy walking distance of a lovely bakery where you can pick up some freshly baked bread, plus a couple of restaurants where you can enjoy the local cuisine. If you're hoping for a city escape, head to the bus stop right outside your doorstep and hop on a bus to the centre of Funchal (alternatively a twenty-minute walk downhill), where you'll find no shortage of things to fill your days with, whether it be visiting the stunning Monte Palace or the Praia Formosa pebble beach.

A Hillside Beginning

Situated near Funchal’s city centre, this home’s location means you can drop your bags and stroll straight to the old town. With museums, restaurants, shops, and the seafront all nearby, exploring by foot is a breeze. While outdoor space is limited here, you can still see the sea over the rooftops from the small, private balcony. And indoors, the open-plan living area is thoughtfully designed to make the most of the space. For discovering the rest of the island, there’s a bus stop within walking distance and you’ll have easy access to the main roads if you’re travelling by car.

The Fairytale City

You’ll find this villa nestled into the hillside just a short distance from Funchal’s historic city centre. The wraparound terrace serves up mountain and sea views, while the private pool is just the spot to cool off in the Portuguese heat. If you’re not dining alfresco or topping up your tan, head indoors where you can relax in the sauna. And while it’s easy to get around by car and there’s a bus stop just outside the home for a trip into the city, the easily accessible traffic links mean you may hear some road noise during your stay. 

The Joy of Sunshine 

This delightful apartment is situated in the hills of Funchal, making it the perfect base to explore this historic city. The home evokes a feeling of calm, and with views of lush greenery and the Atlantic Ocean in the distance, you’ll forget you’re even in the city. 

Step outside the front door and you’ll be immersed in the rich culture of Portugal. Take a trip to one of the local Madeiran farmer’s markets, selling fresh produce. You might even see street dancers performing a traditional Portuguese dance, like the vira, in colourful bouffant skirts. Don’t miss visiting the town square, decorated with black and white checkered tiles and surrounded by bars, restaurants and shops. 

After a day exploring, why not take a dip in the pool or perch on a comfy chair with a good book? Or dine alfresco on the balcony while you take in the ocean breeze? Whether you’re here to relax or explore, this home is perfect for discovering all that Funchal has to offer. 


Palm Trees in the City

When you get as much sunshine as Madeira enjoys every year, you would be a fool to design a home without large windows. Thankfully, the brain behind this apartment in the centre of Funchal – renowned Portuguese architect Raúl Ramalho – was on the same wavelength and as a result, the space is flooded with natural light and blessed with wonderful views out over the city. The interior has also been recently renovated and the funky decor wouldn't look out of place in some of Europe's more discerning cities — the sleek grey kitchen looks particularly inviting, we must say. When you're ready to explore, start with Funchal Catherdral, only five minutes away by foot, before heading along the cobblestone streets of the Old Town and finishing up with a well-earned drink at a seafront bar along the promenade.

Light of My Life

Watch the catamarans and yachts glide in and out of Funchal harbour from the balcony of this city apartment. A little bistro table is set up so you can while away the hours in front of that sea view. This home is a short walk to Funchal’s old town so restaurants, boutique shops and meanders down historic streets are just steps away. Head to the harbour to join a day cruise around the secluded bays and beaches of Madeira, or make the five-minute walk to Funchal's own sandy beach. Big windows in the living room brighten up the space and offer a glimpse of the sea while you dine or kick back on the plush sofa. A sleek, white kitchen has everything you need for self-catering, but with a litany of local restaurants and bars on your doorstep, you might just use it for the odd balcony cocktail or morning coffee. 

The Boats Go By

Located a short walk from the bustling centre of Funchal, this modern apartment is the perfect place to recharge your batteries after long days spent discovering the island. Natural light fills the living space – soak it all up from the comfort of the soft leather sofas with a cup of coffee or glass of wine in hand. Spend sunny mornings breakfasting on the private balcony before planning your Madeira adventure at the dining table. 

Expand your history knowledge at the Fort of São Tiago then pore over the paintings in the Sacred Art Museum. After a spot of lunch in a local restaurant, drive over to Formosa Beach for a paddle in the cool Atlantic. If you’re keen to explore further afield, we recommend heading inland to Madeira Natural Park for hiking routes that wind through the striking landscape.

Key Moments

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.
