Villa Kadia Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
With a modern, chic design and fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Villa Kadia will bring joy to those who stay here. Located near the town of Canico, 15 minutes drive east of Funchal, this stylish villa provides a space for rest and relaxation for six guests across its three comfortable bedrooms.
The town of Canico is a quiet coastal community surrounded by steep hills, pebble beaches and whitewashed houses. Being located less than 15 minutes from the capital of Funchal, allows visitors staying here to easily head into the city for days out exploring the sights. Madeira’s answer to Rio de Janeiro’s Christ Redeemer can be found here. Sitting at 14 metres tall, the Miradouro Cristo Rei do Garajau is hard to miss and sits on the coast just outside of Canico.
Guests staying at Villa Kadia are welcomed into the open-plan living space. This space is light and bright thanks to the large sliding doors that lead out to the pool terrace spanning the front of the room. The living area is to the right of the space and boasts a large L-shaped sofa and wall-mounted flat-screen television, perfect for snuggling up in the evenings or watching any sports fixtures. The dining area is surrounded by yet more sliding doors and is home to a stylish dining set seating six guests comfortably. Behind the dining area is the kitchen. Equipped with all you could need to cook up a feast, this sleek kitchen will excite any budding chefs in the group. The monochrome design of the kitchen matches the decor of the rest of the villa, with hues of grey, white and black and natural wooden ascents giving the space a modern feel.
Two of the three bedrooms are found on the ground floor. Both of these bedrooms are home to comfortable double beds and benefit from doors leading straight out to the lawned garden. One of the bedrooms even offers its own en-suite bathroom for extra privacy, while the other bedroom shares use of a stylish family bathroom on this floor. The master bedroom at Villa Kadia certainly has the wow factor! Occupying the whole of the first floor and with full-height windows and large sliding doors leading out to a private balcony, this room is flooded with natural light and enjoys views over the majestic Atlantic Ocean. With a unique piece of feature artwork on the wall and a large double bed, not to mention the en-suite bathroom, guests staying here are sure to enjoy a good night’s rest.
There is ample outside space to enjoy at Villa Kadia. To the sides of the villa, you will find lawned gardens that are great for running around and playing games. To the front is the all-important private swimming pool. With an infinity edge and the option to be heated, the swimming pool continues the sleek modern design of the villa’s interiors. A spacious terrace wraps around the pool and is dotted with sun loungers, so you can easily jump into the pool and cool off after relaxing in the sunshine. There is also a decked area with an outdoor lounge that is great for enjoying an evening tipple. To the side of the villa, and easily accessed from the kitchen, is an outdoor barbecue area. Sheltered from any rain that may fall, this covered area is ideal for fine-tuning your barbecue skills! Villa Kadia is located on the south-east coast of Madiera, near the town of Canico. Canico is a small coastal town surrounded by wonderous natural landscapes, from steep hillsides to pebble beaches and sheer cliffs.
One of the most popular sites in the Canico area is the Quinta Splendida Botanical Garden. Featuring over 1,000 species of plants and flowers and a restored 19th century mansion, this is a lovely place to visit and learn more about the natural environment. Another famed attraction in the area is the Miradouro Cristo Rei do Garajau. Canico’s answer to Brazil’s Christ Redeemer, this monument sits at 14 metres tall and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. Sitting below the Miradouro Cristo Rei is Praia de Garajau. This small beach with Madeira’s infamous black volcanic pebbles and sand can be reached on foot or by car down a long winding road that will test your limits if you’re not a fan of heights! Or for those more leisurely inclined, there is also a fun cable car taking visitors down to the beach.
The city of Funchal is less than 15 minutes away from Villa Kadia and offers a range of amenities and activities for visitors. The cable car is always popular and offers stunning views over the city and a unique perspective from above. And when you reach the top, you can visit the Monte Gardens. These stunning ornamental gardens offer some light relief from the sun as areas are partially shaded – be sure to check out the Chinese garden! From the top of the cable car, you can also head for a toboggan ride back down the mountain – it is certainly a fun and fast way to get back down! Guided by two men steering the toboggan, this is a fun adventure for those looking to get the adrenaline-pumping!
There is plenty do to across the whole island of Madeira. The small village of Porto Moniz on the island’s north-west coast is known for its volcanic pools. After heading for a swim in the pools, be sure to visit the aquarium. Although small, the aquarium makes for a great trip and is a great way for kids to learn more about marine ecosystems. Head inland along the walking trails of Levada das 25 Fontes. Along the paths, you can admire the lush vegetation and even visit a few beautiful waterfalls!At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
