Ajuda is in the western outskirts of Funchal and is a mainly quiet residential area comprising modern apartments and villas interspersed with banana plantations. Located to the west of Funchal, the Ajuda area tends to get more sunshine than Funchal itself and the eastern end of the island in general, which means that at times when Funchal and the eastern end of the island is in cloud, the Ajuda area and the western end can be bathed in sunshine.
Ajuda is only 2,5 Km from central Funchal and it is possible to walk the mainly flat route into town in 30 minutes.
Ajuda has an excellent choice of shops, cafes and restaurants all of which are in easy walking distance from the apartment. The modern Forum shopping centre includes a food court, some excellent clothing shops and a large supermarket for all your grocery needs.
