Traditional Madeiran villa, where tranquillity and comfort meet. In the centre of Funchal, this renovated house offers modern amenities while maintaining the charm of typical Madeira houses. With a capacity of up to 6 people, it is ideal for families and friends.
On the 1st floor, you will find two suites, with shower and double bed, and a common balcony.
On the ground floor, there is a spacious living room with a sofa bed and a complete social bathroom, the kitchen and dining area encourage socialising while preparing meals.
In the outdoor area, you will find a swimming pool, a dining area, solarium and garden.
Enjoy, in a responsible way, the ripe fruits and aromatic herbs of the garden (except banana trees, due to their size and complexity in picking, are prohibited) and be careful, we do not take responsibility for any material or physical damage that may occur.
The family atmosphere is a distinctive feature of this property. The secret garden is ideal for children to play freely, while adults enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of the space.

Hidden paradise in Funchal

Lovely house hidden between other houses in the middle of Funchal with a very nice and well-kept garden. Completely calm in the evening, and in the morning woken up by the birds. I would not hesitate a moment to return.

Superb property

Architecturally stunning house. Beautifully decorated and maintained throughout. Located in central Funchal surrounded by many cafes, restaurants and tourist facilities. Large supermarket 2 minute walk. Pool is only small. We paid the extra fee to heat it. We visited in December and the owners didn’t hesitate to turn the temperature to maximum. We enjoyed a daily dip but not large enough to swim in. We highly recommend this property.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Jan 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you appreciated the architectural beauty and high standard of decor at the property. We are glad that you enjoyed the heated pool, even though it's on the smaller side. As for the recycling, your point is well-taken and we will look into this further to better align with eco-friendly practices. We're thrilled that you found our location in Funchal to be superb, surrounded by many amenities. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to welcome you back to our property in the future.

A hidden paradise in the middle of Funchal

The location is great, on walking distance from the harbour and main restaurant/shopping streets in Funchal. The house and its garden are absolutely wonderful, very calm, providing both sun and shade. The garden is very well-kept and we all enjoyed the terrace and pool area. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. There is no parking place on the property but this was not a problem at all. It was always easy to find a parking spot at the public parking nearby. The person who met us at the house to give us the key was very friendly and easy to reach by phone.
