Fabulous seaview, pool and games room | Villa Luz

With outstanding views of the town and ocean, Villa Luz, one of the larger villas in Madeira, is a superb villa with great leisure facilities, including a heated infinity pool, large solarium, games room and capacity for 12.
Located in a premium tranquil residential area of Funchal, close by you will find all the facilities you may need and easy access to town and, via the expressway, to all areas of Madeira.

On the ground floor, a very spacious open-space lounge and elevated dining area with direct sea-view is complemented by a separate private TV room.
A fully equipped kitchen features a breakfast table and TV and leads to the covered veranda with outdoor dining table and built-in barbecue overlooking the pool, Funchal and the sea.
The whole front of the villa is the south-facing solarium that features a magnificent infinity style heated pool overlooking Funchal and the ocean. Of the villas in Funchal, this one very probably provides the best view of the new year's eve fireworks and cruise ships in the harbour.

Madeira
Some seven hundred kilometres west of the African coast, Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island, lapped by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The first island to be discovered by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture, history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities, added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops, shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a thoroughly modern atmosphere.
