Looking for a smart, fuss-free bolthole in the heart of bustling Funchal? We've got you covered. This stylish studio apartment housed in the city's former fine arts school ticks all the boxes. Carefully reimagined for modern-day living, the architects have carefully preserved the old (would you look at that chequered marble entrance and sweeping staircase) while embracing the new with slick marble-clad bathrooms and designer kitchens. And though this may be studio living, everywhere feels uplifting and inviting thanks to those dual aspect windows bathing the apartment in natural daylight and lofty ceilings opening up the space. Ready to soak up the local culture and meet the locals? Then you've come to the right place. All the must-sees are within walking distance from here. Get off to a flying start at the see-and-be-seen, newly renovated lido on the seafront. And when thoughts turn to food (and perhaps a glass of something crisp?), you're in foodie heaven here. Dive into the stellar eating and drinking destinations on your doorstep or blaze a trail to the famous farmer's market, Mercado dos Lavradores, just a hop, skip and a jump away.
