The four-storey structure comprises the house with four bedrooms, a large three bedroom flat on the third floor, another stunning two bedroom flat on the second floor, and a sea-level bedroom flat on the first one.

Here in the Atlantic Ocean, not too far from the centre of Europe, we find the island of Madeira, famous for its friendly people, exceptional natural beauty and mild climate.

Madeira Islands are just a short trip from Europe, to a destination where you can combine holidays on the beach, in the mountains or in the city.

It's the ideal place to relax and restore the balance of mind and body that you need to face the stress of daily life.

Madeira is also very famous for its natural environment, where the most important feature is the Laurissilva Forest, a relic of the Tertiary Age, which has been classified by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Site. It is no less well known for its year-round outdoor sports.

The island’s mild climate and a water temperature that never goes below 17ºC mean that you can be on the go all the time. Its traditions and customs, visible in its old buildings, museums and churches and even in regional products like its wine and embroidery.

Fantastic ocean views, welcoming owners and comfortable accommodation. Short walk to Santa Cruz village for cafes, shops, town square and easy drive to Funchal. Excellent fish restaurant Mar e alta on the seafront in Machico. Overlooks airport landing strip to left but all adds to sights! Recommended.

Owner's Response: We were extremely pleased when guests leave satisfied with our Villa. We are always at your disposal, thanks very much.

AMAZING AND SPECTACULAR HOUSE, THIS IS PARADISE

Dear Rosendo,

Thank you for having such a wonderful place in paradise. We had to pinch ourselves when we were there having a drink overlooking the ocean. True PARADISE. It was very hard trying to decide where to stay in Madeira because there is a lot to offer, after a lot of research we are delighted that we selected your beautiful house. My husband and I stayed in the 2bedroom apartment with 2 kids, this was perfect for us. The properties were clean and well maintained. Loved my balcony and watching sunrise in the morning. My sister and her family stayed in the house, this was very comfortable and a lot space for the family. We loved being on that gorgeous balcony over looking the Atlantic Ocean, very memorable. That pool was spendid and the kids enjoyed every minute of it. We walked into Santa Cruz every day to get fresh rolls and cakes from bakery and had a cafe latte at cafe's in Santa Cruz. Lots of restaurants to choose from. The Pools are great and the waterpark is a must for the kids. They have a nice park in Santa Cruz for the children and the people are very friendly. 7 nights was not enough time there. This house has everything you need, you could not ask for a better location and it has all the amenities. The owner Rosendo is very polite and helpful. You can call him at any time and ask anything. You can catch the bus from up the street into Funchal. Very easy and cheap. The food in Madeira is great and cheap. We did not hire a car as we have family there and taxi's are cheap. If you are comfortable in hiring a car then do so.

Thankyou Rosendo from Zelia & Lucia
Owner's Response: Dear Zelia & family, thank you so much for your fantastic review of our villa.
I am delighted that you enjoyed your holiday in Madeira. The nearby towns of Santa Cruz and Machico are full of interesting places to visit, and also it is definitely worth the drive to Funchal.
Our Villa makes a great base to explore the island and then relax on the large pool and terrace with a glass of wine!
We hope you can return for some more relaxation very soon! Best wishes & regards, Rosendo

Great place to relax

4 of 5
Submitted: September 7, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We rented parts of the villa for a family vacation of eight, and everyone agreed it was the perfect place. When I close my eyes, I still see the white walls contrasting with the blue ocean: stunning!
We would sleep in, start the day with a jump into the pool and over coffee leisurely decide on the day's agenda. Since we had rented two cars, we had the island at our fingertips: we went hiking along the levadas, explored Funchal, went to the black sand beach which is 20 min away by car. At night, we'd either barbeque fish bought fresh at the Funchal market or we'd walk into Sta Clara for a very reasonable meal at a restaurant. This place beats any hotel!

We were surprised by the proximity of the airport, but It is not a hassle at all, since only about 10 airplanes land on any given day. (This is not Heathrow...).
We have not been this relaxed - and tanned- in a long time!
Owner's Response: Dear Brigit & family. It was a real pleasure. Thanks for your personal observations and thoughts. It was a delight to have you at the villa. Hopefully you will decide to return to Madeira in the future, and we would love for you to stay with us again. Best regards, Rosendo

Amazing!

Our family had a fabulous time at the Villa! We rented the house and the two apartments. It accommodated our large family very comfortably (11 adults and 1 child, with lots of room to spare). We had some memorable dinners together on the patio overlooking the ocean. The private pool was a treat and the ocean views were spectacular; our own private paradise! We miss falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean waves outside our windows...

The villa is ideally located to explore the island and an easy walk to Santa Cruz. We rented two cars and had no difficulty with parking.

The added bonus was the ability to watch airplanes coming in to land at the airport. It was great entertainment and was not disruptive at all.

We were a bit nervous sending a money transfer from Canada as we have not had experience booking with this site or property before. It all worked out smoothly without any problems. The owner responded very quickly to our emails and put us at ease. He greeted our family upon arrival at the villa. He was also readily available to us if we had any questions.

Our only regret is that we did not stay longer! We highly recommend this rental.
