| This tranquil apartment is enormously popular. Self-contained, it forms the first floor of an immaculate, well appointed private house hovering above the ocean at Garajau, only 10 minutes' drive from the capital town of Funchal. The open plan sitting/dining room has large French windows leading out to a spacious terrace offering indoor/outdoor living all year round. Behind this main room is a well-equipped kitchen and laundry and a passage leading to the two bedrooms which have the same uninterrupted views south over the sea and the bathroom and shower room. This is an idyllic retreat where you will be warmly welcomed by the friendly and helpful owner, Tina. She speaks English and Portuguese and is a fund of knowledge on the island. |

Within 3-5 minutes’ walk you have various cafés and a few good restaurants including one which offers excellent take-away meals; a bakery and supermarket with ATM; a pharmacy, taxi rank and bus stops. Internet access is available in the excellent art shop. Within walking distance you also have the famous Cristo Rei statue dominating the clifftop, with an elevator and road leading down to a newly developed beach area with restaurant (one of the best kept secrets on the island!). At Caniço, only 5 minutes away by car/taxi/bus, you have a full range of shops, restaurants and banks. Tina finds that many guests enjoy indoor swimming at the Dom Pedro Hotel 3 minutes walk away or you may prefer swimming in the sea or seawater pool at the new five star Galo Hotel in nearby Caniço de Baixo (for a small charge). Other nearby activities include diving, deep sea fishing, horse riding, tennis and of course wonderful walking. The famous Madeira tropical gardens and two championship golf courses are also within easy reach.
