Casa Strelitzia is a traditional Madeira house in the parish of Santa Maria Maior, Funchal’s Old Town, with special architectural and historical interest. It is within walking distance of the Central Market and Promenade do Porto, making it one of the few holiday properties in such a central and prestigious area.
The property is split over two floors: the first-floor holiday home sleeps up to six people, and the studio above sleeps two. Booked together, the whole property accommodates eight guests—ideal for celebrating Madeira’s famous New Year’s Eve fireworks. Each flat has a balcony with fabulous sea views, perfect for breakfast, evening drinks, or sunbathing. Amenities include free WiFi, satellite TV, a comfortable sofa, dining area, well-equipped kitchen (with oven, microwave, fridge, toaster, coffee machine, kettle, and utensils), private bathrooms with shower, hairdryer, free toiletries, bed linen, and towels. A 24-hour reception, run by An Island Apart, is available for any eventuality.
The courtyard below and rear access are shared by both apartments, featuring a table and chairs for relaxing or entertaining, a traditional volcanic stone BBQ, concealed washing machine and dryer, and access to a shared basement garage with secure parking for one car per apartment.
WI-FI is available in all areas.
