Nestled in the vibrant heart of Funchal, this apartment is an ideal base in Madeira's capital. From here, you’ll find the port and local restaurants within walking distance, while the pebbled beach of Praia Formosa is a ten-minute drive away. The apartment is minimal and practical, with a handy sofa bed in the living room. After a dip in the communal pool, enjoy alfresco dinners on the balcony, or why not have your host organise a private chef for the evening?
