Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AriedamVilla Ariedam enjoys a convenient location within a residential area that offers a range of amenities. Cafés and a restaurant are within a 15 to 20-minute walk, with Funchal city centre and its huge choice of bars, restaurants and shops all within walking distance.
Lovely places to spend a few hours are the numerous gardens in the immediate area. Madeira Botanical Garden and Monte Palace Tropical Garden are both just over a five-minute drive from the villa. Stroll around these lush gardens to see a range of plants, flowers, herbs and trees that can be found across the island. You can also reach these gardens via cable car, which is an experience in itself. Rise high above Funchal and take in spectacular views over the city and sea. If you’re lucky you’ll also spot some of the animals that call the mountains home as you pass over them.
Drive into the heart of Funchal city for fun days out. One of the most popular things to do with the children is to hop on board the Santa Maria de Colombo. This boat is a replica of Christopher Colombus’ ship and leaves twice a day on trips along the coast. Along the way you have the chance to spot dolphins and whales and to jump into the sea to cool off on especially hot days.
There are no sandy beaches in the area, with the coast featuring volcanic, black sand stretches instead. Funchal has several Lido's, allowing you to enjoy the sea from pebble beaches and loungers to soak up the sun. Also, be sure to visit the city’s old town area, with so many beautiful historic buildings lining its narrow, cobbled streets.

About the City
About Funchal
Funchal is the largest city on the island of Madeira and is encapsulated by Pico Ruivo and its neighbouring mountains, which look as if they have been seamlessly carved into the skyline by a Lusitanian God.
There is no better spot to start your holiday than in the Old Town, which illustrates its personality though street art, architecture and busy local businesses. There are many fine eateries, botanical gardens, a cathedral and impressive museums. Perhaps hop on the Madeira Cable Car as one of your first activities, as this will give you a great idea of the islands size.
Many flock Funchal in order to enjoy the Atlantic Coastline. This is home to its prominent harbour, where hundreds of boats and yachts, some of which enable visitors to embark on a magical sea voyage, can be found. Funchal really is a destination for lovers of the sea; as there are renowned surfing points, as well as being a great place to spot some whales.
Madeirans are also notorious for their elaborate festivals. If you’re travelling during the New Year, you will be treated to one of the world’s biggest Firework Festivals…a dazzling sight! During late February & early Mrach, you are able to witness Carnival and the streets of Funchal are lit with parades and festivities.

Perfect location. Lovely views.
This is a marvelous house for visiting Madeira! So spacious & comfortable. And the beds...oh the beds! Scrumptious! The views of the city are great & the water was fantastic. It's was such a pleasure to wake up to that view daily. The house is wonderfully equipped from kitchen to bathrooms to game room. We were two families with several young adults, but no one got in anyone's way. The location was great to walk into the city or grab a cab home if it was late. I could not imagine a better place to stay for a visit to Madeira!

PICTURE PERFECT, FABULOUS STAY IN LUXERY VILLA IN FUNCHAL, MADEIRA
What a great stay we had in this very well equipped huge villa. It had everything we needed, the games room was a fun place after a day by the pool or at the beach, we enjoyed drinks on the balcony/outdoor area with amazing views of Funchal town, and the huge bedrooms with the most comfortable beds. It was a short walk down to the old town where there are fantastic seafood restaurants. Our arrival was seamless and Carolina was terrific with her run down of the Villa. I would highly recommend a stay here and encourage you to visit Funchal and Madeira, Portugal. Thanks.
