This palatial villa is one of the finest luxury properties in Funchal, a world-renowned destination along the south shore of Funchal. With panoramic views across the bay of Funchal and the crystalline ocean, the villa is exquisitely designed for relishing life in the open air, with expansive grounds and stunning, luminous interiors evoking antique Madeiran elegance. Enjoy a dip in the ample swimming pool facing the sea, and bask in the scintillating light on elegant lounge chairs or a sumptuous sun bed. Dine alfresco in the dappled shade of the pergola beside the pool, and sip afternoon refreshments. Host a reception in the superb courtyard garden, or merely relax on the porch with loved-ones in the afternoon. Beach-lovers are just a short walk from the city’s extraordinary shore. A colonnaded veranda lines the main house, its stone archways framing sublime ocean vistas, and yields to a spectacular, open-air great room with two-story ceilings and a large salon. French doors lead from the great room and veranda into the formal dining room, where twelve guests can enjoy fabulous feasts. The exterior balcony offers sweeping vistas of the city and sea. All five bedrooms are suite-style with ensuite bathrooms and gorgeous décor. The master suite is located on the upper floor of the main house and features a king bed, a private sitting area, and a shower and tub in its bathroom. Accommodations for twelve guests make Luxury Barreirinha House a splendid choice for memorable family reunions and special events with friends.
