This period home has plenty of vintage charm to offer, and while some of the features may appear dated, the warmth and comfort are never lacking here. An excellent base for a couple or a small family visiting Madeira and looking for a tranquil spot away from the usual tourist trails, this home is situated just a ten-minute walk from the volcanic caves of São Vicente and a half-an-hour drive from Funchal. After a long day of exploring the island, you’ll be able to relax and soak in the private Jacuzzi, while the well-equipped kitchen invites you to rustle up a delicious supper, inspired by Madeira’s rich culinary tradition. Share your meal at the dining table inside or out on the covered patio. Later settle in for an evening of movies on the comfy sofa, a glass of wine in hand. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee while gazing at the stunning mountains surrounding the home.
