Land of Eternal Spring

Land of Eternal Spring: Madeira

Close to the centre of Maderia's beautiful capital, this charming apartment couldn't be better placed for exploring Funchal's harbour, cathedrals and wine cellars. Spend your days wandering through streets of Gothic architecture, surfing the waves of the North Atlantic Ocean or playing a few rounds of golf on one of the city's famous courses.

With an array of local restaurants and cafes on your doorstep, you won't be short of choices when dinner time comes around, but if you fancy a quiet meal at home then the terrace is perfect for an alfresco affair with magnificent views. The kitchen is fully equipped and has everything you need to flex your culinary muscle, or pick up some takeout if you want to relax as soon as you get home. The balcony is definitely the jewel of this home, offering a quiet spot in the midst of the city to soak up the sunshine and sit back and enjoy a good book, or unwind for the evening with a glass of wine.
