Casa Vista do Oceano Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Situated in a quiet family friendly neighbourhood, just outside of the historic capital of Funchal, this stunning modern villa is the perfect abode for those wanting to relax in ultimate style whilst knowing you are within easy reach of a wide variety of activities. Set perfectly on the sunny south coast of Madeira, the picturesque city of Funchal acts as a natural amphitheatre facing out to the glistening azure of the Atlantic Ocean, with a majestic ring of lush green maintains serving as its backdrop. Boasting historic sites, museums, beautiful botanical gardens and a wide range of sporting activities including surfing, hiking and golf, you will have plenty to explore right on your doorstep.
This stunning example of modern architecture will provide guests with delightful open plan living spaces, drenched in natural light through entire walls of glass doors, optimising the breath-taking sea views on offer. With a state-of-the art kitchen, large dining space and various sumptuous seating areas, this ‘room with a view’ certainly makes its mark. And with the doors opening onto a fantastic terrace area along the length of the villa, sundowner cocktails are a must.
The light spacious feel to the villa continues upstairs, where the large stylish bedrooms reside. The double and two twin en-suite rooms are all decorated with fresh neutral décor and exude a lovely calming influence. And with a bank of glass doors out to a lovely terrace area, you can enjoy a quiet morning coffee or simply soak up the Madeiran sun at your will.
The exterior here at Casa Vista do Oceano is the perfect space in which to relax and unwind. The terrace area provides guests with plenty of seating areas, from stylish wooden dining tables to comfortable swinging chairs in which to enjoy those captivating views out over the Atlantic. There is even a pool table to keep little and big kids amused. The main lawn area is centred around a fantastic outdoor pool, ideal to cool off in on those hot afternoons. With such luxurious surroundings you may not want to leave, but if you do, you will love to know all the vibrancy of Funchal is only a stroll away. Situated in a quiet family friendly neighbourhood, just a stone’s throw from the country’s vibrant capital Funchal, you’ll love the plethora of activities on your doorstep. From surfing and whale watching, to breath-taking hikes and a round or two of golf, you have plenty to keep the whole family amused.
On Madeira’s sunniest coast, amidst banana plantations and wonderful gardens where flowers bloom all year round in the shelter of the verdant mountains, Funchal is a beautiful city, relaxed by day and exciting by night. You’ll love to amble along Funchal’s picturesque 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.
If it’s a golden sandy beach you desire, then head to Machico on the south east coast, where the sand has been imported from Morocco and you can 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.
There are a wide range of activities on offer on 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 12km west for a free Madeira wine tasting experience at local producer Henriques & Henriques. Or perhaps the black lava bathing pools of Porto Moniz, 53km 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.
