This holiday village is just 30 metres from a mini-market and 500 metres from the bus stop, while it is just 4 km to the centre of the village of Ponta do sol, with its beach, pharmacy, taxi rank, health care centre, shopping centre, post office, banks with ATMs, and restaurants. The Casa Das Mudas art museum is a 30-minute drive from the country house and the tourist centre of Calheta is just 20 minutes by car. Funchal-Madeira Airport is approximately 60 km from the hotel and Porto Airport is around 40 km away. This unique countryside hotel in Madeira is an undeniable landmark in the village of Ponta do sol. Perched on top of a mountain, it offers splendid views over the deep blue ocean and over the lush green mountainous landscape. The quality, elegance and comfort of the interiors, combined with the refreshing rural charm of the surrounding area, makes for an unforgettable experience. Guests can expect a homely atmosphere and personalised service with a spacious living room, gardens, organic orchards, and parking spaces. The country house offers 15 guest rooms in total as well as a lobby. Each of the tastefully furnished bedrooms features unique décor, a fully equipped private bathroom with shower, bathtub and hairdryer, a double or king-size bed, cable TV, telephone and electric heating. Internet access and an in-room safe also feature in all rooms as standard. There is an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers and parasols laid out ready for use. Guests may also relax in the sauna (fees apply), or enjoy a game of pool snooker. There is a nearby rocky beach. A breakfast buffet is served each morning.
