Heart of Funchal.With a stay at this Funchal apartment, you'll be steps from Funchal Farmers Market and Embroidery Museum. Avenida do Mar and Praça do Povo are also within half a mile (1 km).
Drapes Design Apartments occupies the former Madeira Embroidery Factory, today transformed into a modern building where each floor pays tribute to a traditional stitching technique. The first floor consists of two connected studios, each with a double bed, bathroom, and fully equipped kitchenette. Together, they accommodate up to four guests, making this floor ideal for families, couples travelling together, or guests who want more privacy.
The building features a shared rooftop terrace, complete with an outdoor kitchen and seating area, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. A shared laundry room is also available for guest use.
AREA A few metres from this property is the Edifício Anadia, a shopping centre with several shops, cafes, restaurants and a supermarket, in a privileged central area, right in the heart of the city of Funchal. A stone's throw from the Lavradores Market and the Old Town of Funchal, from here you can explore on foot the several touristic points of our beautiful city (ex. Cable Car, Funchal Marina, CR7 Museum, Sé Catedral, Madeira Wine Lodge, etc...). At the building's exit you have an excellent connection to the local bus network and to the entire island, covering the east and west zones, so you won't need to walk far if you want to enjoy these services.
GETTING AROUND With a bus stop practically at the doorstep, transport will be no problem for our guests. Although the airport aerobus stops a 2-minute walk away, we recommend our private transfer partners, usually cheaper than airport taxis. Let us know in advance if you’d like to book this service.
ACCESS TO PROPERTY Guests have exclusive access to the entire first floor (both studios) and to all shared areas of the building, including the rooftop terrace and the laundry room. There is no elevator in the building. Access to the apartment is via stairs only.

Het appartement lag zeer centraal. Dichtbij de supermarkt (100 meter) en ruime keuze aan restaurantjes in de straat Rua de Santa Maria. Pal voor de deur is er een bushalte.Bij het binnenkomen en verlaten van het app moeten de wachtende busreizigers even aan de kant.Op een van de toiletten ontbrak een wc borstel. Een stoel op de slaapkamer zou prettig zijn.Ook een wat grotere ontbijttafel geniet onze voorkeur.Verder niets dan lof voor dit appartement.Het dakterras was subliem.
