An ode to serenity and design, Villa Favila is a discreet one-storey home in the heart of Ajuda, one of Funchal’s most elegant and historic neighbourhoods. Though just moments from the sea and city life, it offers a distinct sense of calm. A place where time slows and the island reveals its more contemplative side.

Designed to host up to four guests, the villa blends contemporary comfort with the quiet sophistication of Scandinavian and mid-century aesthetics. The interiors centre around an open-plan living space that connects seamlessly with a private garden and a large sun-drenched patio. A sense of balance and purpose defines each room.

The master suite features a king-size bed and an en suite with a walk-in shower. A second bedroom includes two single beds that can be joined or separated, ideal for friends or younger guests. A second full bathroom ensures comfort for all. Each space is air-conditioned and includes high-speed Wi-Fi for seamless connectivity.

Outdoors, the villa invites unhurried moments: cedars line the lawn, while the dining patio, barbecue and lounge area provide the setting for long lunches and slow evenings under the sky. The house honours its original Madeiran character through traditional rooflines and soft architectural details, while embracing a minimal Atlantic sensibility.

The villa includes a laundry area, modern insulation and fully equipped kitchen for extended stays. Street parking is available nearby. The surrounding area offers immediate access to restaurants, walking trails and the sea, all within a few minutes’ walk.

To enrich your stay, curated experiences such as private chefs, bespoke island tours and airport transfers may be arranged upon request.

Villa Favila is a quiet tribute to the island’s layered history. A space where design meets discretion. Managed exclusively by Madeira Dream Stays.
