Bebera Branca

Bebera Branca: Madeira

Not only is this stylish, white-washed penthouse located right in the centre of Funchal, but it’s also a ten-minute walk to Barreirinha Beach. The pristine walls and muted colour scheme is drenched in glorious natural light thanks to the wrap-around windows in the living space. Wake up with the sunrise and sip an espresso at the dining nook before nipping over to the buzzing farmers’ market for ripe, juicy fruit and locally sourced produce. Put together a slap-up breakfast to be taken on your balcony; the views across the terracotta rooftops and boundless ocean are the perfect accompaniment. Spend mornings exploring your locale, enjoying a pit stop in traditional cafes and snacking on Madeiran biscuits under the violet blossom of jacaranda trees. In the late afternoon, head home to your terrace with a glass of the archipelago’s own fortified wine, watching the sky change colour as dusk begins to fall.

Home truths:
*If you’re staying with a little one, a cot and high chair can be provided upon request
*At the maximum capacity of three, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space
*Due to your central Funchal location, you won’t need a car but if you wish to explore the island, it’s best to hire some transportation
