A Touch of Excellence

A Touch of Excellence: Madeira

Located in Piornais, close to one of the more tourist-friendly areas of Funchal lies this apartment. Enjoy your own private balcony and seating area, offering stunning views of the sea and city, or get comfortable inside in the open-plan living space. The large glass doors and windows ensure that natural light floods this home throughout the day, so even while you're indoors you'll feel connected to the rest of the city. You'll be able to take advantage of the building facilities offered to guests, including a communal pool, playground and sun loungers that the whole family is sure to enjoy.

This home is located with easy access to a range of nearby restaurants, so you'll be spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding where to eat out. That is, if you're not taking advantage of the fully-equipped kitchen to cook up a culinary masterpiece yourself. You'll find cafes and bakeries if you're hoping to grab a snack on your morning jog, or something quick for lunch while exploring the nearby shopping centre and indulging in some retail therapy. If you're looking for coastal relaxation, head to the sand and pebble shores of Praia Formosa beach and watch the waves lap at the shores. At the end of the day, your balcony is the perfect spot to enjoy a cool drink on a warm summer's evening and watch the sunset paint the sky, as you toast to another wonderful day.
