Elias Garcia II, apartment in the city center

This is a historical apartment in the city of Funchal, designed by the renowned Portuguese architect Rául Chorão Ramalho. Located in the city center, the apartment overlooks the traditional Madeiran houses, the sea, and the Cathedral of Funchal—just a five-minute walk away. Originally built in the 1970s, the apartment has been completely refurbished and now features a warm, modern, and contemporary decor.

Daylighting is a key feature of this apartment. Both bedrooms (each with a double bed), as well as the living room and kitchen, have large windows that fill the space with sunlight. The windows and balcony offer views of the mountains, sea, city rooftops, and the Cathedral of Funchal, allowing you to experience the vibrant pulse of the city.

The renovation used modern, sturdy, and stylish materials, ensuring all the comforts needed for a relaxing and memorable vacation.
