Description Mimosa & Bergamot: Funchal

If you’re after unobstructed ocean views, look no further than this penthouse apartment overlooking the vast Atlantic. With all three bedrooms offering access to the sprawling terrace, getting up on a Monday morning has never felt so good. Start the day with a light breakfast in the sunshine – watch the waves roll is as you tuck into traditional Portuguese pastries washed down with a strong coffee.

Inside, it’s fuss-free and homely with a squashy leather sofa for kicking back with a glass of traditional Poncho in the evenings. When you’re ready to explore, we recommend taking the short drive into Funchal. Check out the Fortress of São Tiago, Museum of Sacred Art and Santa Catarina Park. Take it easy and relax on Formosa Beach or if you're in the mood for something a little more exciting, why not embark on a whale-watching adventure?
