Ponta do Sol is a popular village with the locals and tourists alike, due to it's pretty and ambient setting and of course fantastic weather (Ponta do Sol means Point of the sun)! It is has its own beach with 'safe' swimming area, loads of bars, restaurants and a couple of hotels. There is a small shopping centre, pizzaria, post office, chemist and quite a few banks so, all in all and for a quiet and small village we pretty much have everything! There are supermarkets in the neighbouring villages of Ribeira Brava and Calheta and the village is ideally located with in easy access of Funchal via the Rapida, Ribeira brava, Calheta, Sao Vicente, the mountains and the rest of the island in both directions.

Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Ponto do Sol, Portugal

Staying at our traditional Quinta: We welcome all our guests and invite them to stay at our traditional 150 - 200 year old Quinta. The studio is at the far end of the property, has its own separate entrance and parking. The Studio is of bright and modern design and was renovated late 2008. The seated view point and garden terrace has been screened separately from the garden so that guests can enjoy their own privacy but are also welcome to share the garden as well. In our gardens, we have an assortment of fruit trees (Mango, Nespra, Peach, Guava, Banana, Avocado and Anonis) and encourage our guests to pick the fruits when in season. We are situated above the village boasting fantastic views of the village and ocean, have our own village shop, bar and restaurant with an easy two minute walk. There are plenty of walks and levadas in the area, banana plantations and vineyards.

Things to do and places to see: A car is recommended and will facilitate you to enjoy the stunning views of the areas surrounding Ponta do Sol. In our area we have activities such as Paragliding, surfing, swimming, deep sea fishing, boat trips, whale and dolphin watching, mountain walks and levada walks and much more. On Madeira we have a theme park, volcanic centre and caves, a science museum, aquarium, nature reserves, plenty of museums and historical places to visit.

Tradition and Culture: One of the perks of our village and where we are situated is that although we have all the modern facilities and amenities on our doorstep we also have local culture too! As we are situated in a semi agricultural area, local life can be laid back but interesting too. Whilst you visit us you may see the locals harvesting the bananas and grapes and our ubundance of produce in the area. One can also sample many of the fruits and vegetables that you will not see in your supermarkets at home! The fish, meat and grocery vans make their rounds in our neighborhood where you can buy freshly caught/grown and local produce from outside your front door! At varying times of the year our village and those that surround it host many religious feasts and festivals which are fun and great opportunity to mingle with the locals and sample some of the cultural aspects of their celebrations as well as the gastronomy and different types of traditional drinks. There is so much to do and see from Ponta do So

A nice week in Punta do Sol

Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
After a cold and rainy week on the north coast we found a sunny place in Punta do Sol and the very well situated Quinta da Palmeira. It is close to a lot of famous and nice walking places and is not far from places like Funchal. Every day we went by car to some walking trail, and when we came home, we liked sitting on the sunny and warm terrace besides the enormous palm tree, looking down to the sea, or walk down to the beach and climb up the challenging way back to the Quinta, announced from far by its palm tree. When the evening became cool or windy (first week in May), we had our meals in our room as well as the breakfasts, prepared by ourselves in the well equipped kitchenette. All this in a warm and heartily private atmosphere created by Samantha and Colin. They had just the right way: neither did they gossip for hours and hours nor were they unfriendly, but offered a little chat then and now or whenever we wanted to have one. We keep a very good memory to Samantha's.

Review Submitted: August 9, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette location d'appartement autant par sa situation sur l'Ile que pour la localisation dans le village (vues superbes sur la mer et son environnement). L'accueil était très chaleureux, et cela a contribué largement à la réussite de nos vacances.
L'appartement est lumineux, garde la fraicheur en été, et est décoré avec gôut. C'est une excellente adresse.

A Wonderful Holiday!

Martin & Sue Ashford, Middlesex, UK
Review Submitted: April 14, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We enjoyed a wonderful holiday in this spacious, bright and comfortable studio apartment. The apartment is very well equipped - a real home from home. The promised views were indeed fabulous and Ponta do Sol is an ideal location from which to explore this beautiful island. The town also lived up to its name and we were blessed with glorious weather for much of the week - despite it being early April.

We would definitely recommend the local restaurant (Dos Amigos) for Madeiran specialities (the espetada and the chicken were very good and great value) and the pizza restaurant in Ponta do Sol is also worth a mention.

The warmth of Samantha's welcome made us feel more like visiting friends - as did Mutley and Mungo every time we came home!

We would highly recommend Madeira, Ponta do Sol and this lovely apartment to anyone seeking a relaxing break in a peaceful but exhilarating location - holiday memories that we shall treasure for a long time and hopefully re-visit!

Thank you Sam and Colin for your kind and thoughtful hospitality (and the avocados!).

Perfect retreat and lovely place

Maz14 Isle of Weight, UK
Review Submitted: January 22, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We stayed here over Christmas and had a wonderful time. The apartment had everything we needed, was really comfortable and very spacious and modern. We were even able to keep up with our UK TV programs as we had access to Satalite TV and we felt right at home! It was lovely to be able to see the sea from our window as well as the mountains and the banana plantations that seem to cover the surroundings everywhere. We thoroughly enjoyed using the local bar, the locals were very freindly and made us very welcome and we had some fun times there, plus it was cheap!
We would definately book to go back again and will be staying at the apartment again as the owners were really nice and the loaction was perfect for what we wanted to do.
