Harbouring History

Harbouring History: Madeira

Surrounded by Funchal's beautiful architecture and sandy shores, this stylish apartment is perfectly placed for exploring Madeira's capital. Boasting a balcony with plenty of comfy spots to relax, start your days by sipping coffee under the shade of the sun umbrella, or reading a few chapters of your favourite book on a sun lounger.

Within an easy distance of the city's historic landmarks and an array of cafes and restaurants, plus several pretty beaches, you won't be stuck for things to see and do here. Try learning to surf on the waves of the North Atlantic Ocean, or simply stroll through the streets to admire the Gothic and Medieval buildings before stopping for a bite to eat.

Speaking of food, you'll have use of a shared outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, which is perfect for cooking some local seafood for an alfresco feast. Take it up to the terrace to tuck in as the sun sets over the rooftops, washed down with a glass of Portuguese wine.
