Rent Villa Economic Shine Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Embrace the magic of slow-paced living in this hillside rural house, overlooking the wondrous Pacific Ocean. Rolling hills dotted with farmhouses and sheep make up this bucolic setting, promising nothing but a peaceful getaway. The enigmatic southwest corner of Madeira is known for its dramatic landscapes and excellent weather conditions – a nature lover’s paradise.
Inside the cream and claret house, your first-floor apartment brings country living to life. Warm-toned wood takes over the kitchen and dining area, making family breakfasts around the table particularly wholesome. And you’ll love sinking into the plush sofa after a day of exploring, cosy between the soft throws, catching up on your current read.
The interior is lovely and cosy, but it’s the view that steals the show. Your wrap-around balcony makes sure to soak in every inch of the scenery, making your morning coffee taste just that bit better. Let the inspiring setting encourage long, deep conversations around the outdoor table, until someone suggests opening that bottle of local wine.
When the view has tempted you enough and it’s time to explore, put your hiking boots on and take to the hills. There are incredibly stunning cliffs and mountain just a few kilometres away, or a gentle hike through the Laurissilva forest is particularly enchanting. If after a few days you want a break from the action, spend the day lounging on the nearby beach, backed by the quaint village of Ponta do Sol. You’ll find a few restaurants in the village too – spend evenings tucking into Madeiran specialities and making friends with the locals.
