The apartment has been decorated and equipped with you in mind as a home from home in the heart of the city. There is a private balcony where you can have a quiet moment to sit and relax and enjoy the spectacular views that Funchal has to offer or take it to another level and wander up to the shared terrace roof space for even better 360º views.
It is ideal for couples or groups who want to be in the thick of it all as well as a base for exploring the island or for families who don't want to take the car everywhere and can walk easily around with children.
There is a cot for babies and other accessories and equipment can be provided if requested.
An old historic chapel is literally on your doorstep in a quaint little square with cafés and restaurants all round, in addition to a very short 2-minute walk to the prominent brightly yellow coloured São Tiago fort which you can explore and at which you can even enjoy a drink or meal.
As well as a choice of cafés and restaurants, there are shops, museums and supermarkets a matter of minutes away. One of the city’s main bus stations and the cable car terminal to Monte are just a 5 minute stroll from the apartment, where you can ride high on the cable car and then slide back down in one of the famous Monte tobaggons . A stroll to the trendy area of Barreirinha is just 3 minutes, which is a wonderful place to take in the views of the sea at a restaurant or sit outside with a coffee or drink by day or night, sometimes to the sounds of live music. This is also where you can access one of the local beaches with facilities for beach goers. All of this and not forgetting a trip to the famous fruit and fish market 'Mercado dos Lavradores’, which is just a 5 minute walk in the opposite direction, taking you towards the heart of the shopping centre of Funchal and the famous Sé cathedral.
Exploring Funchal can easily be done on foot as the flat is located in a highly accessible location, however, should you wish to take a bus, you'll find a range of bus stops around, including the main bus station for Funchal which can take you everywhere around Funchal as well as to most destinations around the island. There's always the possibility of hopping on a tourist sightseeing bus too or picking up a taxi in the rank a couple of minutes walk away. Travelling around could not be easier in such a prime location!
