Description of the Property - Vacation Home Funchal

This is a private villa that offers you the opportunity to live, albeit for only a short while, like a local Funchal resident. This charming, traditional Madeirense house was built in the early 1900s and stands in a wonderful position, tucked away on the hillside, with superb views of the bay of Funchal and a lovely patio, surrounded by exotic flowers, creepers and shrubs with orange, lemon, avocado pear and banana trees in the garden.
Guests enjoy a modern swimming pool with pool furniture. The house has been carefully restored to retain many original features, such as the timbered ceilings and quaint interior window shutters. Yet at the same time, modernization means that the kitchen is complete with a microwave, an eye-level electric oven and a washing machine. Downstairs there is a cloakroom with a shower cubicle and WC, and the living room with cable TV and direct dial telephone, as well as the dining room are are comfortably furnished with good quality furniture and fabrics that are in keeping with the character of the house. Should you encounter an occasional chilly evening, early or late season, then a glorious open log fire, together with a warming glass of the island's famous wine, will soon revive you!
Upstairs, two bedrooms, a double and a twin, share a full modern bathroom and there is a single room with a single bed for one person (if required, one pull out bed available for a 6th person), which can be used as an additional bedroom. On this level a door leads out to a sunny balcony with table and chairs and a couple of sun loungers - the perfect spot to relax, unwind and perhaps have a quiet read.
Guests may park cars on the road right outside the house. Due to the elevated position of the house there is no entrance for cars.
Just outside, you are only a few minutes walk from the local taxi rank, a small local shop selling essentials, a chemist and a restaurant or two. Funchal is a steep thirty-minute, downhill walk (1.5 Km), unless you want to catch the local bus, which stops just 50 metres away. A more colourful alternative is to take the wickerwork toboggan from just around the corner for a breathtaking ride that completes the lower part of the toboggan journey, which starts in Monte, high above.
A 2x weekly cleaning service is provided.
No pets allowed.
Sleeps 5 adults + 1 child, self catering.
