This is a historical apartment in the city of Funchal, designed by the renowned Portuguese architect Rául Chorão Ramalho. Located in the city center, the apartment overlooks the traditional Madeiran houses, the sea, and the Cathedral of Funchal—just a five-minute walk away. Originally built in the 1970s, the apartment has been completely refurbished and now features a warm, modern, and contemporary decor.

Daylighting is a key feature of this apartment. Both bedrooms(each with a double bed), as well as the living room and kitchen, have large windows that fill the space with sunlight. The windows and balcony offer views of the mountains, sea, city rooftops, and the Cathedral of Funchal, allowing you to experience the vibrant pulse of the city.

The renovation used modern, sturdy, and stylish materials, ensuring all the comforts needed for a relaxing and memorable vacation.

NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW
Situated in the heart of Funchal, you’ll find points of interest in every direction. The Cathedral is opposite, the sea is nearby, and the restored old town is to the left. To the right, you’ll reach College Largo, home to the historic Municipality building, the Sacred Art Museum, and the College Church. The city center is full of restaurants, terraces, museums, gardens, and the bay with its impressive cruise ships.

By car, the beach area is just 15 minutes away.

    *Good communication with the apartment manager if you need anything or any recommendations. *Takes only a few minutes to walk to the center of town. *Safe, quiet. Nice neighbors. *Market and Bakery next door. *Very clean and comfortable for the price point. *Would have liked a ceiling fan or two, but there were constant breezes once you opened the shutters. *In spite of the open shutters, I saw very few mosquitoes (I saw two during my entire stay). *Mid-week housekeeping service was unexpected and a nice plus! **Would definitely stay here again. Very much recommended!!.

    Excellent location in an area slightly removed from the busy touristy areas. Short walk to the waterfront. Large, bright apartment. Very comfortable.

    Good but the balcony was tiny and the windows needed renewing.

    We had a very good stay here and liked the room, the cleanliness, the weekly maid service, the location (within 10 minutes walk to downtown and amenities like restaurants, tours, groceries, etc.), and the water and hillside views (2nd story unit). Note that it is an uphill climb for two blocks to get to the unit. The furniture is mostly IKEA, so not that comfortable. The appliances were good, and dishwasher and washing machine soap was provided. We looked down on a medical clinic, an office building, and a secondary school, so it's an active neighborhood during the day (street noise can be loud at times), but is quiet through the night. I give it a Good rating, not Excellent, but it could be if the furniture was better. Would we stay here again? I wouldn't rule it out, but I would also look around first to see what else is available.

    Madeira island is an amazing paradise island! We loved our stay, accommodations and location. Would suggest a little more cleaning in the upkeep of the apartment but overall stay, amazing!

    The apartment location and layout is wonderful. We found the windows very noisy when winds were blowing (even when closed) at night. Made sleeping difficult. Our stay was abbreviated so we decided not to stock the kitchen so it was very nice to be near restaurants.

    We stayed for over a month and really enjoyed our time here. Highlights included the view of the hills and ocean, the short walk to markets, and lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. It was a perfect location for viewing the New Years Eve fireworks as well. The Wi-Fi was very speedy, with download speeds over 300 Mbps. Just be aware that Funchal is very hilly, and you will definitely be walking uphill every time you return to the apartment. We would definitely recommend this apartment.
