Description Yellow Mimosa: Funchal

With the heart of Funchal at its feet, this slick studio apartment is perfect for long-term stays or quick sojourns. Days begin with a stroll around the Zona Velha, wandering past old merchant's houses and fishermen’s cottages, to the bustling Rua de Santa Maria for a light breakfast in a traditional cafe. Lap up views of the Atlantic from the Fort of São Tiago before catching the cable car to Monte. If a beach day is on the cards, Praia Formosa is a short drive away.

Back at home, the comfy sofa invites you to rest your weary legs – curl up with a cup of coffee or a glass of well-deserved wine. Should you start to feel peckish, the sleek kitchenette has everything you need for throwing together light bites. And when it’s time to get some rest, your comfy bed guarantees a night of deep sleep.
