Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Often it's the interior design or the quirky features of a home that really draw you in, and sometimes... it's the location. Radiating the exotic tones of a tropical rainforest, this secluded house in the archipelago of Madeira offers colourful, idyllic views whichever way you turn. From the turquoise blue waters of the Atlantic to the dramatic cliff face with little waterfalls trickling down its cheek, all while being immersed by lush green banana plants – you're in paradise. Rise and shine with morning coffee out on the terrace, while marvelling at the wild beauty around you. Fire up the barbecue using dried banana leaves and enjoy a long brunch in the sunshine. And when you're ready to explore, the coast of Ponta do Sol is a mere two-minute drive away, boasting pebble beaches, tantalising restaurants and bars. Translating as "tip of the sun", the local area is one of the most sun-exposed places across Madeira, so there is no need to worry about the weather. When you do eventually return to your new home, unwind in the soothing living space benefitting from neutral tones of dark wood, brown, and pops of orange. An oasis of sultry calm, there's something...

Home truths

    At maximum capacity, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room.

    We highly recommend a car as this home is remote – there is free parking nearby.

    The path up to the home is fairly steep and bumpy, so please take extra care.

    You are surrounded by plantain fields – these fields are tended to and worked on. If you're looking for total privacy, this may not be the home for you.

    The entrance to the home can be difficult to find – please ask your host about this.

    The garden is not as well kept as the photographs show.
