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.
