Nice to haves

If it’s incredible views you seek, you’ve hit the jackpot here. This duplex apartment offers unrivalled views of Funchal, with the red-roofed cityscape, backed by sloping mountains and cliffs, meeting the Pacific Ocean. From this elevated position, the commanding view is truly exceptional, especially when the sky blends into reddish hues at dusk. 

Stepping inside, you’ll find an interior which is modern without lacking character. Contemporary meets mid-century with the furnishings, while rattan touches and verdant plants bring the home to life. It’s been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the view – when sinking into the sofa after a day on your feet, the TV is suddenly a lot less interesting. And when the sun starts to go down, the whole home is awash with the comforting hues of the sky. You’ll feel compelled to step out onto your balcony – morning coffees, afternoon cocktails, and nightcaps are a bit more special here.

There’s a lot to love about this home, including the fantastic location. Standing high on this hillside, you’re neighbouring the incredible Fortaleza do Pico – a 17th-century fort. Despite the altitude, you’re actually just a few minutes' walk away from the city centre and all its mouth-watering restaurants, museums, wine bars, and cultural landmarks. If you’re not racing home to make it back in time for sunset, you’ll love taking a walk along the romantic promenade at dusk.

Begin your day with breakfast prepared in the kitchen – though on the smaller side, it's still nicely stocked with everything you need – before hitting the town. Stroll the city's cobbled streets – the famous Mercado dos Lavradores is a must-visit – or wander along the seaside promenade.

We think the layout works well to separate the spaces – the small kitchen is perfect for rustling up light bites after your catnap and the table doubles as a desk if you need to catch up on work. But the best part is the private balcony. On low-key evenings, pad out there with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down over the mountains and the stars twinkle in the sky.

The building is full of character – winding staircases, exposed brick walls, tiled floors – while the apartment is a bit more modern. We love how bright it is, and the sleek, contemporary design only heightens how cosy it feels. We can already imagine lounging on the sofa – a glass of Madeira wine, optional – and gathering around the dining table to snack on a home-cooked Prego, a Madeiran steak sandwich. The comfortable bed will sure to be calling your name – snuggle in and wake up the next day feeling refreshed and ready for adventure. 

Speaking of adventures, you're smack-dab in the heart of Funchal's historic streets, so you'll have plenty to discover nearby. Many of the city's must-see sights are within walking distance, including the marina, Sé Catedral do Funchal and the famous cable car to whisk you up the mountain. Add in the fantastic restaurants, local markets and museums on your doorstep, and you'll never have a dull day here.

Dappled Silhouette

It's those show-stopping balcony views of Funchal's charming rooftops and glistening sea beyond taking all the glory at this luxurious apartment perched right in the heart of the city. But there's much to be admired inside this high-style bolthole too.

Set in the city's former School of Fine Art, there's some serious design wizardry at play here. While historic features nod to the building's grand past and bring the wow factor (that sweeping staircase and marble-clad foyer are a case in point), everywhere else is a masterstroke in modern living.

Free-flowing and light-filled, the space is cleverly zoned into living and sleeping spaces with a high-spec, marble-clad bathroom at its heart. Sunny mornings call for lazy breakfasts at the bistro table for two with the balcony doors flung open wide. There's everything you could need to rustle up brunch and mimosas in the designer kitchen with a view. Or keep things easy and do like the locals with freshly brewed coffees and obligatory pastel de natas.

When it's time to stretch your legs and explore, you can easily wander to all the city's hotspots from here – starting with the charming marina for a dose of fresh sea air. Then the rest of the day is yours to lose yourself to the city's atmospheric streets, stumbling across Fado bars for live music and Poncha cocktails along the way – just like you imagined.  

A Fine Art

Recently renovated, this wonderfully bright and stylish studio apartment invites you to relax and explore Madeira's charming capital city with a comfortable space call home upon your return. You're a ten-minute walk from restaurants and shopping, while Funchal's top sights are easily reachable on foot, including the Mercado dos Lavradores, Funchal Cathedral, and the Funchal Marina. 

Stepping inside, you'll soon feel at ease with a cosy living area to unwind, with a fully-equipped kitchenette, a dining table that doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace, and a sumptuous bed bathed in natural sunlight. But the real star of the show is your private terrace, complete with outdoor furniture. We can think of nothing better than enjoying a chilled glass of wine out here looking through photos and debriefing a lovely day spent in Madeira.  

Madeira Modern

Located just outside the historic heart of Funchal, this chic and modern flat lands you in the perfect place to enjoy everything Madeira’s vibrant capital has to offer, while also providing easy access to its stunning natural surroundings. The apartment’s minimalist yet warm design features ample natural lighting, comfortable furnishing, and a fully equipped kitchen making it an ideal setting for a family or group of friends. Here, you’ll wake in the morning to sweeping views of the verdant hills that surround the city, then wander out for breakfast to the extensive living cum dining room with its sliding glass doors leading to a private sunlit balcony. This generous social space means you can easily spend nights in playing games and watching films, or gather for pre-meal drinks before heading out to sample the region’s famed seafood dishes.

The Madeira Mix

DVD Player

Recently refurbished, this apartment offers a fantastic view over the charming town of Funchal, the bay, and the Desertas Islands. It also enjoys a great central location close to all of the island's best bits – though it still feels far enough from the hustle and bustle to act as a retreat and provide some welcome peace and quiet. Take the short journey to significant cultural and historical sites such as the Santa Clara Convent, the Cruzes Museum, and the magnificent Fort of São João Baptista. Or simply soak up the laid-back atmosphere and authentic Portuguese culture which makes this island so unique.

Flooded with loads of natural light and finished in an understated, calm-inspiring palette of white (who knew there was more than one shade of white?), the apartment feels bright and modern, while its range of amenities is sure to leave you feeling right at home, right away. Make the most of sublime spring mornings or long, balmy summer evenings out on the generous balcony. We think it is the perfect place to enjoy your first coffee of the day, or a glass of your favourite tipple as the sun begins to set, and really savour that special holiday feeling.

Start with A Clean Slate

Situated along Rua Ivens in Madeira's beautiful Funchal, you'll have the Municipal Garden of Funchal and the Municipal Theatre Baltazar Dias right on your doorstep, while the city centre's family-fun eateries, wine cellars and boutiques are easily reachable on foot. Minutes from the Cathedral of Funchal, Funchal Marina, and the Santa Catarina Park, you'll also be able to tick the sights off with ease. 

Recently renovated, this modern apartment offers a wonderfully bright and open space to unwind after a day of exploring. Cook up a tasty breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen to be enjoyed at the dining table. You'll have everything you need to make the home your own, with decorative macrame details and waxed houseplants keeping things stylish and inviting. There's even a dedicated workspace for those visiting on business, but we suggest less work and a lot more play in Portugal's idyllic archipelago. 

Popcorn at the Ready

Located in the heart of the city, this apartment is on one of the most prestigious avenues in Funchal. The sought-after area around the popular Avenida Arriaga is well-connected to the main attractions of the island and enjoys the added benefit of some great transport links, making this an ideal choice for a stress-free holiday spent exploring the many draws of this beguiling island. The interiors of this home are modern and have been carefully finished, and it's easy to tell that each and every space has been given due care and attention so as to maximise space and create a homely environment. 

Imagine waking in the morning, opening up the curtains to the bright Madeira sunshine, and stepping out onto the private balcony for that welcome first sip of coffee, pausing to take in the wonderful almost 180° view of the city and mountains. We'd be hard-pressed to think of many better ways to start the day...

Having refreshed in the shower complete with massage feature, it's out to see what Madeira has in store for today. Perhaps a spot of retail therapy is the order of the day? Or will it be the beach? From catching rays to snagging bargains or simply stopping at a few local cafes and eateries to sample the array of local cuisine as you make your way across town, there's so much to keep you occupied (and keep you guessing) during your stay.
