Radiating luxury, this architectural masterpiece emerges from the hillside of Funchal with its contemporary cantilevered design. Spread over four floors and bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling doors in every room, you’ll never miss a ray of that warm Madeiran sunshine. Enjoy peaceful views over tropical greenery from each of the serene bedrooms and dine in style indoors or out on the large front balcony while soaking up the panoramic outlook over terracotta rooftops and Funchal Bay. Sleek is an understatement when it comes to the interior with its minimalistic style, black glass walls, polished floors, moody black kitchen and high-tech features including an internal lift. With en-suite bathrooms in each bedroom, a large main lounge and a separate TV and games room, there’s plenty of space for both socialising and sneaking away for some alone time. The house is cleverly designed to make indoor-outdoor living a seamless transition with access from the bedrooms onto the garden adorned in palms and jacarandas and the top floor, sixteen-metre pool above makes it easy to swim your morning laps before stretching out on a sun lounger. On days not spent at the poolside, head out for a wander down the hill to the city centre to discover its shops and lively bars and restaurants, or hop in the car for a drive to the coast for a day on the beach, just four kilometres away.
