One, 2 and 3 Bedroom Flats (Sleeps up to 8)
|
|
A beautiful colonial villa with 3 spacious self-catering apartments, 1 on each floor. Large swimming pool (not heated) unsuitable for small children as there is no shallow end and no protection. Deckchairs, outside dining space, BBQ and sub-tropical garden. This house was completely restored in January 2008. It still has all the original wooden floors, metal plated ceilings and lots of other stunning period features (this means that some noise can filter down from flat to flat). Each flat is between 80-100sqm, all with a balcony. Very near the old quarter, restaurants, sea and downtown Funchal. The market is a 5 minute walk away. A perfect base to relax, enjoy the great climate down by the sea where it is warm most of the year. No car necessary, within walking distance of the centre and close to a bus top for longer journeys. Great base to explore the best Funchal and Madeira have to offer and to relax after a long levada walk. Casual and friendly place.

Not very suitable for small children due to pool safety precautions, especially middle and bottom floor. No heating necessary due to the climate, as the house is nearly 100 years old with very thick stone walls it is also prepared for warm weather and does not need fans or air conditioning.
