Funchal Finery

Funchal Finery: Madeira

Light and bright, this lovely studio apartment offers you easy access to all the very best bits of Funchal and the rest of the island. With an understated yet stylish interior that makes the most of all available room thanks to loads of clever space-saving features (say hello to the concealed kitchenette), this home feels sleek yet warm and welcoming.

We're already picturing ourselves waking in the morning as the Madeiran sun begins to stream in, before pulling open the French doors to perch by the Juliet balcony for a breath of fresh air and that welcome first sip of coffee. It doesn't get much better than this...

Part of a gorgeous period building in one of the city's most bustling areas, here you'll find yourself close to many of the highlights of marvellous Madeira. Be it the great selection of local restaurants, the selection of shops, the lively bars serving light bites and great beers, the museums, the Cathedral, or the beautiful gardens that catch your fancy – there really is something for everyone in this cool and quirky capital city.
