Description Ripples on the Ocean: Caniço

Situated in the residential neighbourhood of Garajau, this home has wonderful views of the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the vistas with a glass of Madeira on the private balcony or from the modern living room. This place is ideal for friends or families as there’s a shared children’s play area, ideal for keeping the kids entertained.

The district has restaurants, shops and supermarkets, and there is a small trail for your morning walks right next to the Cristo-Rei monument. When you fancy a day at the beach, there’s one within a five-minute stroll from the apartment or explore nearby Funchal, a ten-minute drive away. There are plenty of attractions to see here, including Funchal Cathedral, the harbour, tropical gardens and Madeira wine cellars. Or art lovers can head to the São Tiago Fortress, which was built in the early 17th century and now houses the Contemporary Art Museum.
