Sao Pedro Villa | Historic Villa Central BBQ Garden Parking

3 Bedroom Villa with Internet, Laundry and Balcony

Tucked within the historic heart of Funchal, Villa Diniz is a 19th-century manor house offering rare serenity in the city’s most iconic setting. Once the residence of celebrated Portuguese writer Júlio Dinis, who completed his final novel Os Fidalgos da Casa Mourisca here, the villa reflects the quiet grandeur of Madeira’s cultural heritage.
Lovingly restored in 2001, its interiors reveal an elegant blend of classic eclecticism: tropical colonial character, Belle Époque refinement and Oriental touches, all framed by a transitional luxe heritage aesthetic. More than a stay, Villa Diniz is a connection to the island’s literary and architectural legacy.
Accommodating up to six guests, the villa includes three distinct bedrooms: a spacious master suite with king-size bed, bathtub and shower, a second king bedroom facing the historic cityscape, and a twin en suite ideal for younger guests or discreet hosting. A full bathroom is located in the corridor, along with a guest toilet by the garden patio.
Its most distinctive feature is the large, private tropical garden, a hidden oasis in the capital. Surrounded by mature foliage and quiet elegance, the space includes a rare, centuries-old wood-fired oven, beautifully preserved, and a tranquil area for al fresco dining.
Inside, each bedroom is climate-controlled, and the kitchen is fully equipped for seamless daily living. For added convenience, secure parking can be arranged, a rare luxury in such a central setting. Premium services, including private chef experiences, tailored island tours and transfers, are available upon request.
A statue of Júlio Dinis stands just beyond the entrance, and a rare original edition of his last novel is displayed within. Quiet tributes to a life and work that shaped Portuguese literature.
Villa Diniz is an invitation to slow down and immerse yourself in meaning, beauty and privacy. A refined chapter of Madeira’s past, curated for the present. Managed exclusively by Madeira Dream Stays.

Summary: The property is in an amazing location. You step out the door and you are in the heart of Funchal. The property is very large and has a lot of potential to be truly spectacular but that is where the cons come in. All the showers leak leaving a huge mess on the floor. Even the dishwasher leaks. One of the king bedroom does not have an en-suite and instead you must walk to the opposite side of the apartment. The outdoor space is lovely but quite unuseable with no seating available. We were there in February and the sun never reached the garden. The noice from the street is very loud and they were renovating a shop next door and the noise was right on top of us. It was very quiet at night though considering the downtown location. The living-room is very large but could benefit from more comfortable furniture. None of this is a Big deal except that it was very expensive and we expected better value. We even requested yea towels to dry the dishes and were told they weren’t supplied! Really? Also for a three bedroom apartment they can accommodate 6 people - why not supply more keys so that everyone didn’t always have to be together.? We did ask and were told no. Just the main apartment key is the only one needed to be duplicated. We were given free parking which was great in an area with difficulty parking.
