Discover the charm of Funchal's historic waterfront with a stay at Funchal Seaside Villas. Located in the heart of the old town, our family-owned property offers a unique and intimate experience. We feature four distinct rental villas, alongside the main house, where you might occasionally find us and meet my father, Carlos, who loves sharing stories about the property and our family's rich history.
This oceanfront estate was originally acquired by my grandfather, Celestino, the visionary patriarch of our family. His decision to settle in the old town was seen as eccentric at the time, but his keen business sense led him to recognize the area’s future as Funchal’s most desirable location. Today, we owe much to Grandfather Celestino's foresight and bold choices.
Each villa honors the strong women who shaped our family. Irlanda, named after my grandmother and Celestino's wife; Isabel, after my mother; and Eufemia, my mother-in-law. These remarkable women’s lives inspire us, and the villas serve as a tribute to their enduring strength and influence.
Our latest addition, the Plantations Villa, reflects the decades of labor that define our family's history. It stands as a symbol of the hard work and dedication that shaped this property and its legacy.
In 2024, we completed the renovation of Islander, a stunning four-bedroom villa with a private pool, located next door on the oceanfront. This villa is the perfect choice for families or friends visiting Madeira.
