With sparkling sea views stretching out before you, relaxing in this sleek, modern villa is not hard. Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in abundant natural light, making the whole space bright and welcoming. Dressed in white and grey, the home has an air of tranquillity about it, and with stunning vistas outside every window, it paints a perfect picture of Madeira. As the Portuguese sun shines down, you’ll soon be tempted outdoors. Lazy days at the villa will be well spent here, soaking up the scenery as you enjoy a swim. For a quiet moment to yourself, snuggle down in the egg chair and get lost in the pages of your holiday read for a while, as the breeze gently rocks you. When you’re keen to get out to explore, a short drive will take you to Calheta and the golden sands of its man-made beach. For those who love to surf, five minutes away by car you’ll find Jardim do Mar and Paul do Mar – if surfing’s not your thing, settle down at one of the cafe bars and treat yourself to a mojito as your loved ones enjoy the water.
