Rental Description

A little way up on the hillside looking down on the city of Funchal sits the most exquisite of villas.  With four bedrooms each with access to a balcony, sleeping up to eight whether it be for a special family holiday or with a group of friends Casa Justino with its delightful garden, terraced pool and hammock slung between palm trees is sure to take your breath away.
With picture windows on both levels looking out over the city, to the harbour and coastline beyond you can relax completely during your say here. The open plan lounge and dining area
beautifully furnished, the large leather sofa and chairs in neutral colours with the occasional chairs and cushions marrying the terracotta of the tiled rooftops you overlook. The large dining table seating up to twelve guest sits under the mezzanine floor above looks out over the palm lined garden to the rear of the property. There is also snug style lounge with soft sofas and tv area which can be left open or closed off should you want to get away from it all for a while.
Easily accessed from here is the spectacular kitchen with everything you could possibly need discreetly hidden away, this area opens onto a small breakfast area overlooking the terraced dining area, garden and to further along the coast.
A glass fronted staircase flooding the ground floor area with even more light leads to the upper floor and the four stunning bedrooms each very individually furnished with amazing bathroom facilities and access to the upper terrace.
The outdoor area offers a large space in which to relax, several large palm trees offer dappled shade should you doze off to sleep on the hammock, this beautiful tiled terrace sets off the swimming pool to perfection, and has ample space to accommodate the fabulous loungers and soft seats for you to relax on. The terrace in front of the lounge and dining area can be covered should you wish, the views from here are rather special at any time of day, especially at dusk.
There is also a set of stairs leading down from the ground floor which take you to the garage and a large games room with table football and a pool table.
Casa Justino really does have everything you could possibly want for your holiday to Madeira.Casa Justino is only minutes walk from the old town area, this quaint part of town is soaked in the island’s history.  Many of the beautiful old buildings and churches you will find along the cobbled streets are open for you to visit, they may not all be use for their original purpose, some housing wonderful exhibitions and museums, one of these is Blandy’s Wine Lodge. Blandy’s have been producing Madeira wine for well over 200 years, making this a perfect place to visit to learn about the history of wine production on the island.
From here in the old town you can take a cable car ride up to the small town of Monte sitting some 500m on the hillside above the city. This 20 minute ride is quite special as is Monte itself, home to the fantastic Botanic Garden and the Monte Palace Garden. When you are ready to return you can return by cable car, bus or the maddest way is to come hurtling down in a wicker basket drive by two carreiros.  
Dining out in Funchal is delightful, the Portuguese specialities of locally caught fish and bananas grown on the hillside plantations feature highly, there are many talented chefs offer a very exciting range of cuisine. Should you wish to cook at home making the most of the beautiful terrace, kitchen and BBQ, exotic local produce is widely available, nowhere more so than at the Art Deco fronted Mercado dos Lavradores (farmers market) check out the fish counters, particularly the black scabbard fish, how can something so very very ugly be so very very tasty!
You won’t find any sandy beaches here in the city, however the beautiful new Lido complex with its salt water pools, offers a great place for adults and children to swim safely. There are loungers and parasols to hire while you people watch and dry off. You can actually access the sea under the watchful eyes of lifeguards if you wish to experience swimming in the Atlantic Ocean.
Should you take a trip to the west of Funchal before too long you come upon the magnificent Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ on the headland of Ponta do Garajau, well worth a stop over to walk out onto the point, the views along the coast are amazing. Garajau’s pebbled beach is special as it is the centre for Europe’s first underwater nature reserve which was created to protect a very special area of the seabed. No fishing is allowed in this area to conserve existing species and to encourage regeneration of the natural habitat, all of this makes for wonderful diving and snorkelling opportunities for all abilities. A little further west is the charming old city of Machico, full of colour, culture and history, the founding fathers of the island landed here in the 14th century.   Here there is one of only two beautiful golden sandy beaches on the island, the sand having been imported from north Africa.
