This traditional stone farmhouse is full of character and provides an idyllic escape for anyone after a mix of thrilling adventure and pure relaxation. Set in the coastal hills outside of Funchal, you’re removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, free to simply roam the home’s verdant and blossoming garden, sunbathe on the patio’s lounge chairs, and dine alfresco on the covered veranda. On the other hand, if you’re after a bit more excitement, this location makes the perfect base for exploring the region’s stunning topography, which features breath-taking hikes through the mountains and walks along the precipitous coastline. However you choose to spend your days, you’ll find the warm interior with its vaulted timber ceilings and wood-burning stove makes for the perfect place to relax and recuperate.
