Ancient Villa for Sale in Funchal, Madeira Islands, Portugal

Historical Villa / Superb Views Over Funchal / Large Gardens

This villa is located by the historic Estrada Conde Carvalhal, the first road leaving Funchal to its East side. Built around 1900, and named Villa Rego, it has astounding views all over the Funchal Bay, particularly the harbor and the blue ocean in front.
The house is spacious and plenty of natural light. It is decorated with architectural details from its time, as the large ceiling roses in plaster. Its last renovation dates from 1976.
The gardens have many valuable exotic species, some dating back to the beginning of XXth century: a dragon tree (Dracaena draco), a very large multi-trunked australia umbrella tree (Brassaia actinophylla), some floss silk trees (Ceiba speciosa), many frangipanis (Plumeria alba), and plenty of Chinese hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) and bougainvilleas (Bougainvillea spp) hedging the garden cobblestone pathways.
Funchal center is just a few minutes walking away.
