For those in search of a rejuvenating retreat, this home sits high in the hills of southwestern Madeira and invites you to experience the majestic beauty of its setting. From long walks along mountain trails to lazy days by the swimming pool, you’ll find yourself quickly captivated by the natural charm of this location. And while the terrace provides the perfect setting for sunset drinks, impromptu dips and stargazing, the interiors have everything you could need to spend quality time together, as well as quiet moments alone. So whether you’re admiring the views from the balcony or gathering for a cosy movie night, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. From here, days can be spent embracing the magic of the great outdoors with hiking, mountain biking, surfing and a range of other adventurous activities. But if that all sounds like too much work, the region lends itself perfectly to leisurely strolls through nearby Ponta do Sol (2km away), quiet afternoons on the beach and evening drinks with the locals on the seafront.
