Villa Ocinac Portugal

Perched upon a hillside, with uninterrupted views out over the glorious Atlantic Ocean, Villa Ocinac is the perfect abode for those looking to relax in style, with all the amenities of the quiet village of Garajau on your doorstep. And with both a beach and a golf course within 2km from the villa you won’t have to go far to enjoy wonderful outdoor activities.
Sleeping up to six guests, this modern dwelling offers guests fantastic open plan living, with a stunning living-dining room boasting a wall of glass doors enabling the magnificent Madeiran sunshine to pour in as your eyes are drawn to the breath-taking sea views. With sleek wooden floors, tasteful neutral décor and beautiful furnishings, you’ll love to entertain in this wonderful space, pulling back the doors to adjourn to the wonderful terrace for a sundown cocktail or two. A lovely modern kitchen also resides on this level, affording guests all the mod cons needed to cook up a Madeiran feast.
Up the beautiful wooden staircase or in the convenient lift, you’ll find three delightful double bedrooms, all of which continue to delight guests with their stylish design, and ultra-modern finishes. The lovely master suite benefits from an equally luxurious en-suite bathroom and a beautiful terrace area, shared with another bedroom, can be accessed through large glass doors that overlooks the spectacular waters below.
The exterior at Villa Ocinac is a fabulous area to relax an unwind in. With a lovely terrace adjoining the entire length of the villa you can access that all important sea view with ease, and with stylish seating, dining table and sun loungers available you can enjoy those vistas in perfect comfort. Keen chefs will love the traditional barbeque on which to grill your mouth-watering Espetada. Head down the steps to a beautiful manicured lawn surrounded by lovely local flora, centred around an enticing swimming pool – the ideal spot to cool off in on those warm afternoons, whilst gazing out over the glistening Atlantic. And with another dining area on this level, you can enjoy al fresco dining perched above the stunning coastline with just the sound of birdsong and lapping waves for company. Just perfect.Situated just outside the small coastal village of Garajau in the region of Caniço, famed for the imposing Cristo Rei Statue that gazes out across the Atlantic, Villa Ocinac is perfectly located to enjoy the peace and quiet of its coastal position, yet still be within easy reach of local bars, shops and restaurants.
Take a bracing walk along the Ponta do Garajau headland, which boasts spectacular views of the Desertas Islands on a clear day. And nestled at the base of the Garajau cliffs, accessed by cable car, you can enjoy a quiet little bay located within the Garajau Natural Partial Reserve, which thanks to its extraordinary biological richness and its crystal blue waters, offers unparalleled conditions for snorkelling and diving.  
For a wonderful golden sandy beach (imported from Morocco), head 15km east to Machico, where you’ll enjoy fantastic swimming and sunbathing opportunities. Situated in Santa Cruz, you’re also in prime position to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding pine landscapes. And with a stunning backdrop of orange houses nestled in green rolling hills, with the largest mountain on the island Pico Ruivo, inviting you to climb its peaks, you’ll love its scenic beauty. Santa Cruz is also home to many wonderful 16th century monuments as well as some delicious fine dining restaurants.
The Island’s capital Funchal is just 15km west, where you’ll love to amble along its seafront promenade enjoying a drink in one of its many beachfront bars. From here take the cable car to Monte, where you can visit the world-renowned Monte Palace Tropical Garden. And to get back to the Old Town from Monte don’t miss sliding down the steep hill on a traditional wicker toboggan! Once in the old town, be sure to visit some of the fabulous restaurants serving mouth-watering skewered meats, alongside exquisite tapas and heavenly desserts such as honey cake and passion fruit pudding. Football fans will also enjoy a visit to a museum in honour of Madeira’s best loved son Cristiano Ronaldo here.
There are a wide range of activities on offer on the Island, from a quiet round of golf just 2km from the villa, to exhilarating 4×4 excursions across the Island, but one of the most breath-taking has to be a glorious hike along some of the 2,092 kilometres of narrow stone irrigation channels known as levadas, criss-crossing Madeira’s lush mountainous countryside into the Laurisilva forest. One of the most scenic is the Levada do Caldeirao Verde, which meanders four miles past leafy glades and plunging ocean views before emerging into a picturesque clearing sprinkled by a 91-meter waterfall. Just spectacular! And for the adrenaline junkies amongst you, try your hand at the many mountain-bike trails that plunge and ascend this beautiful landscape, or throw yourself into some canyoning, which will have you sliding over cascades and abseiling down waterfalls.
For the more serene, a wine tasting tour is a must. Head to Camara de Lobos, a lovely traditional fishing village 18km west for a free Madeira wine tasting experience at local producer Henriques & Henriques. Or perhaps the black lava bathing pools of Porto Moniz, 58km north, will provide the perfect day trip, where the meeting of Atlantic waves and a prehistoric volcanic eruption has formed spiky rings of black lava rock along the waterfront turning it into one of the world’s weirdest and most beautiful swimming baths.
