Above Funchal · A Hillside Home with Ocean Views
Set above Funchal, this hillside home opens to wide views over the city, the harbour, and the Atlantic Ocean. The terrace is the heart of the house—a place for slow mornings, sun-filled afternoons, and peaceful moments shaped by changing light throughout the year. Built in the 1950s and carefully renovated, the house offers modern comfort while keeping its original character. It’s a place to slow down, enjoy privacy, and experience Madeira as it is—lived-in, grounded, and real.
Cosy, simple, and unpretentious—ideal for guests who enjoy both everyday local life and nature, and who value authenticity and a relaxed local rhythm over polished, resort-style perfection.
Guests have full access to the entire house, including the terrace and outdoor areas around the home.
The house is located in a residential neighbourhood above the city. A nearby church marks the day with bell ringing, reflecting the local rhythm of Madeiran life.
Access is on foot via a short uphill path with stairs, typical for hillside homes in Funchal, creating a strong sense of privacy and a truly local feel.
Around the house, fruit trees grow as part of everyday Madeira life, and at certain times of year guests may notice bananas, tangerines, or passion fruit. Occasionally, a ripe avocado from a neighbouring tree appears—a small, friendly neighbourhood detail.
Public transport, a local restaurant, and a small park are all within walking distance.
