Occupying an elevated position that means it offers spectacular views over the sea and the city of Funchal in Madeira is Moradia Santo Antonio. This comfortable villa enjoys a well-connected spot in a pretty residential area and has plenty of idyllic outside space in which to unwind and relax.

With a mix of established pieces of furniture that add elegance and modern facilities for convenience, Moradia Santo Antonia is an ideal family holiday home. The amount of space both inside and out means that everyone can easily find their own favourite place.

The ground-floor lounge is a cosy and welcoming place to relax, with several comfortable sofas and armchairs to choose from. Glass sliding doors flood the space with light and offer direct access to the outside space. The modern kitchen comes with everything you could need, including an oven, dishwasher, fridge freezer and coffee machine. There’s also a small table with chairs for grabbing a quick breakfast. Doors open onto a terrace with outdoor dining furniture and out to beautiful sea views. Steps up from the lounge take you to the main dining area, which features a classic wood table and chairs. After dinner, retire to the cosy television room for family movie night.

On the first floor are four of the five bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom and private balcony with sea views. Another bedroom has a double bed, with the remaining two bedrooms having two single beds each. All share a balcony that offers clear views of the sea and use of the lovely family bathroom. Providing additional sleeping options is a single chaise lounge with mattress that also has a pull-out mattress underneath. This means an extra one to two guests can be accommodated if required.

The lower-ground floor is where you’ll find the fifth bedroom, which has a double bed and access to a separate shower room. This floor is also home to a large games/leisure room with pool table, table football and a treadmill, as well as a laundry room with washing machine.

The outside space has been beautifully designed to make the most of the villa’s elevated position and sea views. The main highlight is the private infinity pool from where you can soak up the very best views. Around the pool are several sun loungers and some outdoor seating for relaxing in style. Next to the outdoor dining table on the partially-covered terrace is a built-in barbecue for enjoying al fresco meals. The rest of the outside space is made up of several stone-walled terraces with lawns and various exotic plants and trees.

• The outside space is terraced and steep in places, so take extra care with younger children
