Villa Japandi • Heated Pool • 360º Rooftop Solarium • Bay View • Barbecue • Gym
Villa Toscana is a contemporary Japandi-inspired villa in São Martinho, Funchal, shaped for slow mornings, open-air living and the quiet pleasure of space. Set in the prestigious Casa Branca area, within a residential cul de sac, it brings together the ease of a city address with the feeling of a private architectural retreat.
Designed by RH+ Arquitectos, the villa has a clear, modern presence softened by warm wood, natural textures and light that moves generously through the interiors. Its atmosphere is composed rather than ornamental. Japandi and Scandinavian influences, integrated joinery and discreet lighting give the house a calm visual rhythm, while wide glass openings draw the garden, pool and horizon into everyday life.
The experience begins on the main social floor, where the living room, dining area and open kitchen unfold towards the terrace. This is a house made for lingering. Breakfasts beside the morning light, family lunches that move outdoors, evenings by the pool, and conversations that continue as Funchal begins to glow below. The kitchen is central to that rhythm, designed not only for function, but for gathering.
Outside, the heated private pool, maintained between 25°C and 30°C, becomes the natural centre of the stay. Integrated steps, night lighting, sun loungers, an outdoor lounge, barbecue and dining area create a fluid sequence between water, garden and terrace. Cypress, bonsai and cedar trees add texture and shade, bringing a gentle Mediterranean and Atlantic character to the setting.
Above the villa, the rooftop offers another kind of pause. With lounge seating, sun loungers and open views across the sea and city, it is a place for reading, resting or watching the light shift over Funchal. From the upper floor, the games room extends this sense of ease, with generous views, rooftop access and space for relaxed evenings.
Villa Toscana accommodates up to eight guests across four bedrooms. Three king bedrooms include en suite bathrooms, while the twin bedroom offers a comfortable workspace. The master suite brings a more private note, with a freestanding bath, double vanity and walk-in rain shower. Throughout the bedrooms, mountain views, soft tones, considered storage and blackout curtains support a stay that feels effortless over several days or several weeks.
The villa is also well suited to longer stays and multigenerational travel, with two living areas, a private gym, laundry facilities, high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning throughout, electric curtains and gated parking for two cars. Each practical detail is present without interrupting the architectural calm of the house.
Private chef, local breakfasts, transfers and extra housekeeping can be arranged on request, at an additional cost. Villa Toscana is a place to experience Madeira through light, design and the ease of living beautifully between indoors and out. Managed exclusively by Madeira Dream Stays.

This is a very nice property with only a few minor issues. The house is spacious with beautiful views and great amenities with a good size pool and well appointed gym. In terms of positive suggestions - our 8 day stay did not include any housekeeping and with limited linens provided we were constantly washing towels and a second set of house/gate keys would have been helpful. The kitchen is generally well appointed but lacks certain basic kitchen items. Overall though highly recommend and Madeira is an amazing island paradise.

This home is beautifully designed and located conveniently in Funchal. The kitchen is well-stocked (especially enjoyed having an air fryer!) and I appreciated the bathrooms all had plenty of toilet paper and soap. Having a gym onsite was also a great addition. The service was impeccable, including the host meeting us on short notice late one evening after our rental car got locked into a parking garage overnight unexpectedly with the house keys in it. The photos of the house are accurate, depicting the urban setting. There was a construction site next door but only once during our week’s stay was anyone working there. There was an apartment building located between the villa and the ocean which had live music several times during our stay as well as outdoor activities during the day that were audible from the patio deck. A few minor maintenance issues were communicated to the host - nothing out of the ordinary. We would definitely recommend this villa and would stay here again.

Dear Melissa, thank you for your thoughtful review and kind words. We’re pleased the house, location and amenities contributed to a fulfilling experience in Madeira. It was a pleasure to support you during your stay. Your note about the urban surroundings is appreciated. The listing reflects this setting, and while there is occasional music from a distant venue during the day, it remains infrequent and part of the island’s lively rhythm. Regarding the sinks, they are designed to fill gradually and operate as intended, though we understand they may feel unfamiliar. We value all feedback as part of our ongoing commitment to offering a seamless stay. Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us. You’ll always be welcome at Madeira Dream Stays, where every detail is shaped for your comfort.
