Situated within Funchal’s prized resort area of the Lido, which offers easy access to the sea, shops and restaurants, Vila Jasmim has been our family home for over 30 years. It was recently renovated and now provides you with the style and convenience one expects from modern living, as well as the opportunity to relax and enjoy the sea views from the privacy of your own holiday get-away. The house decor offers guests a cosy feel of a vintage bohemian style with an eclectic mix of old and new. The ground floor of the house offers a great open space area with the lounge, dining room and kitchen opening to the garden and the sea views. There is a dedicated dining space outdoors, a patio with sofas and a veranda. On the same level there is a double room with a en-suite shower room, an additional WC and an utility room. On the first floor there is one double room with an en-suite shower room, a single room and a double room, these two sharing a big bathroom with a bath. Upon request we can provide a cot for a baby/young child. The ground floor bedroom has direct access to the garden. All the upstairs bedrooms have access to a shared terrace with magnificent views over the ocean. The kitchen is well equipped with all that is needed to prepare a great meal. Guests have access to the whole house and will not share the house with others. Some closets are locked, where we keep our personal belongings but the rest of the house is yours to enjoy. The garden has many local fruit trees such as banana tress, papaya trees, a fig tree, passion fruit and a Surinam cherry tree. The house is fully equipped to run yoga retreats and has yoga mats and the full range of yoga props. Please do ask if you want us to leave these available for you during your stay with us.

I am a yoga teacher enjoying life on and off the mat. Reading books, travelling , going to new places and meeting new people are always a part of my life plan to be happy, kind and grateful. Born and raised in Madeira, I came to live in the UK to marry Fil in 2008. We love our dog, cat, nature and going for long walks on the country side. We both enjoy interior design and renovating houses, something we have been doing for a while. Vila Jasmim, in Madeira, was our last project. It is our home in Madeira but while we spend most of our time in the UK, we like to welcome guests in the house so they can make the most out of their holiday in Madeira. I often take my students to Madeira for yoga and walking retreats. The walks are superb and the sea swimming, a delight.

The house sits on one of the most sought after residential areas of Funchal, on the west side of Funchal. It is located on a quiet cul-de-sac which only serves its residents, although the other roads around the house are busy, where the best hotels in the island can be found. At walking distance you can find shops, restaurants and cafes as well as the best beaches in town. There is a promenade by the sea which runs all the way to the next village of Camara de Lobos, perfect for a long walk by the sea.
