Beautiful House with Panoramic
In the hills above the picturesque fishing village of Câmara de Lobos and only a 10-minute drive to Funchal, Moradia Falesia is a beautifully furnished house with breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and sea.
Its location makes it the perfect option for everyone - those wanting to be in a sunny area, seeking tranquillity, preferring to be close to town, looking to explore Madeira, or seeking the perfect house for a long stay for either leisure or work.
Being perched on the hillside, it has an upside-down layout. The carport leads to the first landing which accesses both the office and the rooftop sundeck.
On floor below are the three bedrooms (two of which have panoramic sea-view), and two bathrooms.
The living area occupies the floor below. The stairs open to the spacious sitting area with the large flatscreen TV, and which leads via patio doors to the front terrace with outdoor seating and steps to the sloping mature garden; imagine yourself relaxing, taking in the views of the sea and Cabo Girão (the second highest cliff in the world) and enjoying the beautiful sunsets!
Behind the lounge is the fully equipped kitchen with dining table. A patio door leads to the rear terrace where you will find a covered built-in barbecue and separate laundry room.

Madeira
Some seven hundred kilometres west of the African coast, Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island, lapped by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The first island to be discovered by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture, history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities, added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops, shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a thoroughly modern atmosphere.
