A natural stone house in the far west of Madeira, away from mass tourism and surrounded by meadows and a vineyard. The nature house is not far from a quiet village with doctor's office, pharmacy, some mini markets and restaurants. Located on the route of a levada walk. Levadas are irrigation canals that run all over the island. The nature house has two floors. Upstairs is the entrance to a living room with open kitchen with exit to a large sun terrace overlooking the western Atlantic Ocean with beautiful sunsets. Downstairs are two bedrooms, a separate bathroom with bath and shower and a separate toilet. Surrounded by a flower garden and a vineyard. 30 minutes by car to a port town with beach and excursions at sea to dolphins and whales, pools in the sea, 50 minutes drive to the capital Funchal and 75 minutes to the airport. Excellent starting point for several levada walks.
Nature and surroundings
Madeira has a very mild climate. Summers are not extremely hot, maximum 27 degrees, and winters are not cold, minimum 14 degrees. The rainy period is between November and March; dry period from June to September. Year-round nature blooms. In winter the poinsettias, aloe vera, freesias, masarocco (Echium Nervosum) and daffodils. In spring the geraniums and roses. In summer the agapanthus and hydrangeas well into the fall. There are forests of the laurel trees (laurasilva). On the plateau the tree heath (erica scoparia). Well known is the Madeira wine from special grape varieties, such as the Verdelho, Boal and Sercial, with which a desert wine is made. The local wine is not to the taste of the landlords; with the planting of Cabernet selections, the landlords are trying to change this. Along the property grow table grapes. Without pesticides, this is quite possible. Sulphur is sprayed at high infection pressure, however.
