With its stunning location above Funchal, the views over both the town and the Madeira sea from the infinity pool of this modern villa put it head and shoulders above other places to stay in the area. On a beautiful Madeiran summer’s day, you’ll want to spend your time lying on one of the sun loungers overlooking the water, or kicking back with a drink on the first-floor balcony. Cook up a feast in the well-equipped kitchen to enjoy al fresco on the outdoor table. There’s also a PS4, gym area, snooker, darts and ping pong, so there’s no chance of getting bored.
