The detail

Just 1km from the Monte Palace Tropical Garden, sitting on the hillside high above the city of Funchal you will find Villa Chapeludo. This stunning villa with accommodation for up to eight guests has what could arguably be the best site in the whole of Monte. Only a 15 minute walk down to the old town centre of Funchal you could easily spend your whole holiday here without having to leave the city.

Villa Chapeludo is built on a terraced site, the pool, terrace and private parking area are on the lower level with steps up to the living accommodation which is on two levels.

The open plan lounge and dining area with huge windows overlooking the city below ooze elegance and attention to detail. The furnishings all in neutral shades with fun plants, lighting and accessories which lift this large bright space to another level. The dining area comfortably sits eight guests, you will love the snazzy overhead lighting should it be dark by the time you come to eat. Accessed from the dining area is the superbly appointed kitchen with breakfast bar to perch at whilst taking breakfast or your aperitif as dinner is being prepared.

The master bedroom really does have the WOW factor, a large airy room with neutral décor and fun accessories and most fabulous chaise longue strategically placed in front of the wall to wall windows and that fabulous view over the city to the ocean beyond, there is also an ensuite bathroom and access to a private terrace should you wish some time out at the end of the day to enjoy the twinkling lights of the city below. You also have direct access to the poolside terrace from here. The other three bedrooms are no less sumptuous with two of them also having the fabulous view.

The pool terrace has the benefit of sunshine from morning until night, should the sun be too strong there are parasols to shade you as you lie relaxing, reading or enjoying the views from your beautiful vantage point. This area is equally spectacular in the evening as night falls on the city below.The pool can be heated for your arrival by prior arrangement should you wish.
