Living Art

It’s not too long ago that Funchal's artists gathered and conjured up their finest works in this home. Formerly the School of Fine Arts, the building has since been transformed into a minimal city sanctuary, but without losing any of its original charm.

Inside, the rooms are bathed in natural light and styled with simple yet elegant furnishings. It’s the kind of space that retains its creative spirit – inspiring you to enjoy the beauty of the moment. So whether you’re sipping a quiet morning coffee on the patio, embracing the simple pleasure of cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, or planning your day from the sofa, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own.

Located in the city centre, you’ll find the best way to explore is on foot. Take a romantic stroll along the harbour, visit the centuries-old Cathedral, browse the colourful stalls of the farmer’s market and admire the views from Monte. However you choose to spend your time here, this apartment welcomes to relax, unwind and be inspired by the magic of Madeira.
