Elias Garcia | Apartment in Santa Luzia, Portugal

This is a historical apartment in the city of Funchal, designed by the renowned Portuguese architect Rául Chorão Ramalho. Located in the city center, the apartment overlooks the traditional Madeiran houses, the sea, and the Cathedral of Funchal—just a five-minute walk away. Originally built in the 1970s, the apartment has been completely refurbished and now features a warm, modern, and contemporary decor.
Daylighting is a key feature of this apartment. Both bedrooms (each with a double bed), as well as the living room and kitchen, have large windows that fill the space with sunlight. The windows and balcony offer views of the mountains, sea, city rooftops, and the Cathedral of Funchal, allowing you to experience the vibrant pulse of the city.
The renovation used modern, sturdy, and stylish materials, ensuring all the comforts needed for a relaxing and memorable vacation.
AREA
We are right in the city center, which is to say that there are points of interest for all sides. The Cathedral of Funchal is opposite, by the sea, and the restored old part of the city, to the left side. Following the right, the path ends at the College Largo, where the historic building of the Municipality of Funchal is the Sacred Art Museum or the College Church. But these are, of course, just some of the reference points, because at the heart of the city curiosities appear in every corner.
In the city center there are restaurants for every taste, terraces, museums, gardens and of course the city bay and large cruise ships as a backdrop.
By car, it only takes 15 minutes to get to the beach area.
