Casa do Castelo sits in an elevated position right next to the imposing Fortaleza do Pico only a few minutes walk from Funchal city centre with all its wonderful restaurants, shops and attractions. This is a charming quiet residential neighbourhood known for its commanding views and many museums. This stunning and spacious apartment is part of a modern building comprising of only two residential units. The entrance hall provides an immediate “wow factor” and the staircase leads elegantly and invitingly to the living room, located on the first floor, where the full length window leading onto the balcony, affords the most magnificent views of Funchal city, the bay, surrounding mountains and the sea. You have to pinch yourself to realise the view is real and not a beautiful painting! Crisp white walls, wooden floors and stylish modern furnishings create a sense of tranquility and charm.

In the living room a large sofa and comfortable armchairs provide an enjoyable sitting area where everyone can get together in front of floor to ceiling windows opening onto the glorious cityscape panorama.
