Tranquil countryside surroundings, outdoor dining spots, and your own glimmering swimming pool - this is the place for relaxing in style. Set back from the dramatic coastline of Ponta do Pargo and its story-book lighthouse, both of which are under a ten-minute drive away from the villa, you're perfectly situated for sprawling out and adopting the slow pace of nature, all while discovering the beauty of West Madeira. Whether you're sunbathing in the garden, admiring idyllic views from your balcony, or dining alfresco under the gentle shade of the pergola, be sure to let the serene country air wash right over you. Inside, there's plenty of space to cool down, with a bright and roomy living area benefitting from a sociable open concept design and floor-to-ceiling windows. A soothing palette of sea blue furnishings and light wood makes for the ideal spot to escape the mid-day heat with a good book. Come evening, fire up the barbecue while sipping a glass of something chilled and setting the table outside. Watch the sunset upon this oasis of rural calm, while eating great food and sharing stories long into those balmy summer evenings. And if you need to stock up on side... salads or bread, you can pick up supplies at one of the glorious food markets around the Prazeres area.
