Funchal is the capital of Madeira, set on steep slopes above the Atlantic with a mild climate year-round. It attracts many digital nomads and retirees, and rents are lower than in Lisbon, though homes on the hills can mean steep walks.
Areas to look at
Sé: historic centre and seafront
Zona Velha: old town, restaurants
Lido: hotel zone, sea views
São Martinho: residential, quieter
