    We were a group of friends visiting for a long weekend for a special birthday celebration. So we wanted a luxury escape and as we all love the sea and interior design the house fitted our brief. When we arrived we were blown away by the curved...

    This is a stunning villa. Beautifully presented in a great location with wonderful views. Well equipped too. It looks really nice in the photos but they don't do it justice. 10 mins walk into the old town and lots of restaurants and bars, 15 mins...

This house is an Island escape in the very best location in Madeira. The sea is ever present and the private rooftop terrace with a garden and infinity pool are the ultimate luxury in the center of town. Featured this year in Conde Nast Traveller & the Telegraph as the holiday house to rent in Madeira & also in Architectural Digest for the stunning interior design. A sustainable house that has been designed to be planet friendly with reclaimed materials & solar panels. The port of Funchal is just in front, easily walk to the restaurants, marina & shops. A warm climate all year, with a beach just below the house. With 4 en-suite bedrooms all with oceanfront views; Fast 1 Giga Internet & desk space to work with sea views. The living room has high concrete ceilings, sea view windows & decorated with design classics and repurposed furniture. Fully equipped kitchen that can come with a chef as optional. The large rooftop has idyllic views over the old town of Funchal & harbour, with sun beds and parasols to enjoy your time there, an outdoor kitchen & dining area together with the pool. Not suitable for guests w mobility problems or unsupervised children due to stairs and pool access.
Our family-run company Funchal Cottages owns several houses in the same old town part of Funchal, the unspoilt and authentic part of Madeira. I´m also a writer and publisher, with four books on Madeira, and run an interior design company. We try to bring our love of history, design and authentic Madeira feel to your stay in Okulus for the perfect experience of the Island. This house was our latest design project, a unique project that involved geologists, engineers and the very best local artisans and professionals to create this dream home
Located in the historic old town of Funchal right in the city center. The neighbourhood is unspoilt, with charming houses (some 500 years old) and three fantastic beaches within walking distance, one just below the house. Nearby you have cafés, bakeries, restaurants and shops. You can walk everywhere from the house, the feeling is very relaxed and undiscovered - the authentic Madeira which normally only the locals get to experience, without big hotels nearby. The farmers market is down the road with fresh fish for the barbecue on the terrace. Madeira has very good local produce and all of it is on your doorstep. A short drive also gets you quickly to the mountains where you can walk the hikes and trails. The marina is in front for the dolphin and yacht outings. The climate here is also specially mild and sunny without much wind, making it great for sunbathing and swimming all year. Its the perfect location to experience Madeira in all its glory: Sun, sea and nature in the city center.
