Building in the Funchal centre, Drapes Design

Experience the centenary history of Madeira Embroidery in a building with excellent design and memories of local culture.

Right in the centre of Funchal, next to Mercado dos Lavradores, this fantastic building offers all the convenience for a group of up to 12 people. Set in a building that once housed an old Madeira Embroidery House, the property is divided into six independent rooms, each named after a well-known Madeira Embroidery stitch. With modern and functional architecture, each room features touches that recall the island’s embroidery heritage. Each room has a double bed, bathroom, and fully equipped kitchenette, accommodating two people. Guests can enjoy a pleasant terrace on the top of the building, complete with a kitchen for preparing meals, as well as a laundry room. AREA Just a few metres away is Edifício Anadia, a shopping centre with shops, cafes, restaurants, and a supermarket, in a privileged central area of Funchal. Steps from the Lavradores Market and the Old Town, you can explore many tourist attractions on foot (Cable Car, Funchal Marina, CR7 Museum, Sé Catedral, Madeira Wine Lodge, etc.). Excellent bus connections are available at the building’s exit, providing access to the entire island. GETTING AROUND A bus stop is practically at the doorstep. The airport aerobus stops a 2-minute walk away, but we recommend our private transfer partners, usually cheaper than airport taxis. Let us know in advance if you’d like to book this service.
