Casa Arboretum Portugal

Grand and stylish are certainly the order of the day at Casa Arboretum; a visually stunning villa that can accommodate up to eight guests across four ensuite bedrooms, all while boasting exciting features such as a games room, a jacuzzi hot tub and stunning harbour views. The villa has an incredibly spacious interior, with huge sliding glass doors that flood the rooms with natural light and a dazzling white decor that is accented with high-end furnishings in light, neutral tones. Stylishly contemporary, the lounge space features several sumptuous seating areas with luxurious soft furnishings, including opulent sofas in ruby-red, fawn and grey, as well as leather seating that offers guests several vantage points from which to observe the spectacular views or simply curl up in front of the TV.
The interior dining spaces have ample room for enjoying home-cooked meals with the whole family, prepared in the villa’s stunning kitchen, which is well-equipped with top-quality appliances, including oven, microwave, fridge, coffee machine and toaster, as well as plenty of cookware, cutlery and utensils. The villa also houses a washing machine and dryer – ideal for guests who want to pack light and save room in their suitcases for those all-important souvenirs. A good-sized games room is on-hand to entertain the kids or perhaps to provide a bit of friendly family competition during a quiet evening, and four spacious double bedrooms provide havens of solace at the end of a busy day. Each bedroom features ensuite facilities and a flat-screen TV, as well as coming complete with more high-end furnishings and luxurious beds that promise a restful and refreshing night’s sleep.
Dining alfresco at Casa Arboretum is made easy thanks to excellent barbecue facilities and a comfortable outdoor dining space that features a large and intricate table and chairs, as well as a parasol. There are several outdoor lounge areas to enjoy, giving guests here plenty of options for places to enjoy reading and relaxing, pre-dinner drinks, or simply to sit back and enjoy the breathtaking views. For a really luxurious treat, why not retire to the villa’s hot tub jacuzzi – perhaps with a glass of something bubbly – and enjoy a relaxing and blissful soak as you watch the world go by. Set in a quiet residential area, just a stone’s throw from the exciting city centre of Funchal, Casa Arboretum could not be better placed for those who want to experience all that the city has to offer in the way of restaurants and bars, shops, attractions and outdoor pursuits. An important shipping centre during the 15th and 16th centuries, Funchal is the capital of the island of Madeira and is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal – and Excellence Luxury Villas would have to agree!
The temperature is mild throughout the year here, making it a popular destination, and the city features a breathtaking landscape of pretty streets, mountain ranges and colourful vegetation. Visitors here are never short of things to do, whether it’s hiking or cycling, swimming in the crystal clear waters, paragliding, surfing or even golf. Boat trips are popular here, as are whale-watching tours – and you’ll find plenty of places in the region offering such excursions, so we highly recommend booking up if you want the chance to do something really unique during your stay.
Night owls won’t be disappointed either, as Funchal enjoys a flourishing nightlife that features a calm and laid-back atmosphere that tourists love. Guests who come here like to spend the evenings and earlier parts of the night dining in one of the many restaurants and bars – perhaps sampling some Poncha, a delicious local sugar cane rum! – and then heading home for a few hours before setting out again around midnight, with bars and clubs in the area offering good music and a friendly ambience right through until 7 am!
Funchal is a fantastic place to visit all year round, with lots of exciting attractions and festivals to experience. The city’s Carnival and Flower Festival is celebrated during the summer months, where you can enjoy samba beats and colourful costumed parades, as well as June’s Atlantic Festival’s International Fireworks Competition and the region’s famous wine festival. One of Funchal’s best-known celebrations is its New Year’s Eve firework display, which is one of the largest in the world, and if you happen to be visiting Funchal during the Christmas period, you’ll be treated to a twinkling wonderland as the whole city comes alive with lights.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
