Pirate House

415 square meters of land, all private and ocean front. Subtropical plants in the garden include palm trees, banana trees, a herb garden and other exotic plants.

The swimming pool is 7m (long) 3m (wide) 145cm (deep) and there are no security gates or protection so it is only suitable for children and adults that can swim. The land is terraced and has a lawn below in front of the sea.

In the summer we provide fans and in the winter portable heaters, both are rarely needed as the climate is mild.

Located on Rua Lazareto, Funchal, 10min walk into the old town restaurants, beach, Funchal market, cafés and shops. The house backs onto a road so there is some noise from the street (but we are in the heart of the old town in Funchal so this is normal). Amazing central location. Parking is on the road outside free of charge.
