Set against the peaceful hills of Madeira, in the quiet village of Prazeres, this charming apartment is located within a converted cottage. Featuring original stonework and picture-perfect gardens full of flowers, this is the ultimate countryside escape. Start the day with a dip in the shared pool, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee on the private balcony. However you spend your mornings, make sure you get out and about to experience the beautiful scenery around you. This area is ideal for walking, with plenty of flora and fauna and magnificent views that arise between the valleys and open fields. When you return, head to the veranda to make use of the barbecue, then dine alfresco as the sun sets over the ocean before you.
