Perched in a tranquil setting below Estreito da Calheta, you’ll find this magical home. With panoramic views across the picturesque coastline, you’ll find it hard to believe that the interiors are equally spectacular. With floor-to-ceiling windows welcoming the sunlight inside, the ambience is tranquil, and as an invisible barrier to the outdoors, you’ll feel as though you’re breathing in the fresh sea air even when you’re settled on the sofa. Start your day swimming through the incredible infinity pool – it even has the luxury of a tanning ledge for keeping cool. When breakfast is served, do so alfresco on the delightful terrace – sipping that coffee with endless horizon views will make it taste oh so sweet. For a quiet, lazy day at the villa, you’ll be entertained by the games area – spot of pool, anyone? For those wanting to continue the relaxation, sink into the deep sofa, put on a movie and feel your eyes grow heavy with the wonder of the day. As the day drifts quietly towards night, watch the sky glow amber outside the sprawling windows. With contemporary beauty at its core, this house is a Madeira wonder – the most elegant of backdrops for a memorable stay.

    The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
