Funchal is the capital of Madeira and renowned for its food and events, namely the spectacular New Year’s fireworks and the wonderful flower festival. We feature several luxury villas within easy reach of this lovely town as well as other locations across the island.
Located on the Southern coast of Madeira, the capital of Funchal is a lively city with a fantastic mix of history, culture and modern luxuries. With towering mountains and Atlantic ocean as the backdrop, the city is known for having a subtropical climate that is perfect for visitors all year round.
A visit to the Old Town is a must, with its narrow cobblestone streets, colourful murals and Portuguese architecture. We recommend popping into Mercado dos Lavradores which is a bustling market where local sellers offer an array of fresh produce, flowers, and regional delicacies. It is also worth taking a stroll along the waterfront promenade which is lined with cafes, restaurants and shops.
Having a private villa in Funchal is the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding areas. The nearby Monte Palace Tropical Garden has a diverse collection of exotic plants and offers panoramic views of the city. We also recommend taking the cable car up to Monte, where you can then take the famous toboggans back down, a thrilling journey down winding streets in wicker sledges guided by local carreiros.
If you are interested in the history and culture of Funchal, there are plenty of museums, galleries, and festivals celebrating Madeira's rich heritage. It is also the birthplace of football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, and fans can visit the CR7 museum dedicated to his career.
