Monte

Funchal's cool, green hilltop village of tropical gardens, the cable car and the famous wicker toboggan run, and the city's lowest property prices.

About Monte

Perched high above the bay, Monte is defined by the Monte Palace Tropical Garden, the Nossa Senhora do Monte church and the cable car that links it to the seafront. It is the starting point of the Carreiros do Monte toboggan, where wicker sledges glide 2 km downhill toward Livramento. Cooler and lusher than the coast, Monte suits buyers who prize gardens, levada trails and quiet over convenience. It carries the lowest prices in Funchal, reflecting steep terrain and the time it takes to reach the city's schools and services below.
