"A quiet corner above Funchal where you wake up among tropical gardens and city lights."
A private designer container retreat surrounded by a tropical garden in a peaceful residential area just below the Botanical Garden of Funchal. Created for slow island living, privacy and relaxation — with panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean, Funchal Marina and cruise ships arriving and leaving the harbour.
A unique combination of contemporary architecture, tropical greenery and authentic Madeira atmosphere — close to the city, yet peaceful and private.
The tropical garden is filled with avocado, banana, papaya, lemon, macadamia and Surinam cherry trees, together with aloe, aromatic herbs and tropical flowers — creating the feeling of a private island retreat in the middle of Funchal. 🐈 A friendly island cat sometimes visits the garden. 🐓 In the mornings, distant roosters from nearby gardens add to the authentic island atmosphere.
Two separate private bedrooms are connected by a bathroom with bathtub and toilet. One bedroom features a large double bed and armchair; the second includes two single beds that can be joined together if needed, plus a sofa bed. Both bedrooms include wardrobes, and one wall in each room is made of panoramic glass, filling the spaces with natural light and views of the garden, city and ocean. A separate kitchen area, spacious living room and additional guest toilet complete the space.
Perfect for couples, friends, remote workers and travellers looking for a peaceful, atmospheric and more personal holiday rental in Madeira.
