Overlooking the rugged cliffs of Madeira and the famous Cristo Rei Statue stands this beautiful villa with a long pool and spectacular terrace. Enjoy a meal at the garden tables by the water, while taking in unforgettable views of the sea. Inside, enjoy the luxury of the sun-kissed lounge and dining room, looking out to the garden. The bedrooms are deluxe, and the bathrooms modern and lavish. We particularly love the upstairs loft conversion, now a games room with table tennis, pool and other distractions. In the basement, you'll find a private sauna, and outside, a cable car with picturesque vistas will carry you down to the Garajau Beach (you can also drive, if you fear heights).
