Thread & Thimble

Housed in the former Madeira Embroidery Factory, this beautiful blue-toned flat seamlessly blends elegance and comfort in equal measure. From its gently arched ceilings to its Aculpoco chair, glass divider wall and feature cubby full of antique sewing ornaments, this home nods to its historic roots while proffering plenty of modern flair. Start mornings off with a luxurious shower in the large bathroom before kicking back on the loveseat with your morning coffee. When you’re ready to explore, you’ve got many of Funchal’s best sights right outside your front door. The city’s famous farmers market and old town are both just a two-minute walk away while the Funchal Cathedral and Lido Bathing Complex are less than ten minutes away on foot. After a day of sightseeing, come back home to enjoy an evening on the communal roof terrace, where an outdoor kitchen invites you to cook up a feast while taking in breathtaking views of the ocean beyond.
