Property of The Week – Funchal, Madeira Island

At the top of the beautiful amphitheatre of the city of Funchal, this villa offers a unique landscape over the bay of the capital of Madeira. The property is the perfect balance of tradition and contemporary modernity, recently expanded, and filled with spaces that extend well beyond the boundaries of luxury living.

The entrance hall opens out to a central staircase inviting you to the upper floor, where you’ll find three expansive bedrooms, with panoramic views and private balconies. On the middle floor, is a spacious living room, with a fireplace. Off to the right, is a large dining room, with access to an outside balcony. Walking through, the kitchen, designed by Siematic and including high-quality equipment by Gaggenau and Sub-Zero Wolf, is a space where tradition meets innovation.

On the ground floor, a long corridor connects the traditional wing to the contemporary wing of the house. The traditional side houses a fantastic cellar, with rustic characteristics, alongside a leisure area, billiard room, bar and large wine cellar. Next door, there is a large gym, a bathroom, as well as laundry and storage. Walking down the corridor to the contemporary wing, the master suite expands before you, with a spacious bedroom and access to an outdoor terrace. The suite is filled with luxurious details and finishing touches, such as a rose gold TV, which is elegantly hidden in the ceiling, thanks to the state-of-the-art-home automation system. This master suite also has a sophisticated walk-in closet and a fabulous bathroom, by Duravit, creating an elegant and relaxing environment. Here, the concept of a bathroom rises to that of a spa, with a vertical spa shower cabin with sauna by Dornbracht, towel warmers and a TV, integrated into the main mirror.

Deeper into the contemporary wing, you discover an elegant and contemporary office, with access to an outdoor terrace. A breath-taking cinema room further elevates the design excellence of this villa, a vanguard example, sound and wellbeing. The CINE DECO room was designed, produced and installed by the Consexto de Portugal and was awarded 'Best Single Room Installation' at the ISE 2018Amsterdam by Control4. Across from the tech den is a more formal entertainment area, another dining room, with a stunning 6-metre table, incalcata gold marble and another modern kitchen to support this space, creating the perfect area in which friends and family can gather for life’s special moments.

The outdoor leisure area extends around the entire villa, and includes an outdoor kitchen and barbecue, a garden area, with a modern jacuzzi, where stunning views also frame the large pool deck. In the background, emerges a large, covered garage, which allows parking for four cars. This home is all about the experience of outdoor living, whether practising sports in the professional multipurpose field or enjoying quiet moments in the garden, where secret places keep small surprises, such as a fountain, trees, flowers and spaces that invite meditation; all just ten minutes from local shopping, golf courses, the marina and the beach. This unique property on Madeira Island is currently listed for €4,990,000 by Futuro Real Estate.
