Hot Stuff

Hot Stuff: Madeira

Situated in one of the hottest areas of Madeira, this refurbished apartment has fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean from the private balcony. Enjoy a glass of Madeira here and totally unwind. You can take in the sea vistas from the comfy chaise sofa in the living room with its French doors and potted palms. We love the views, too, from the main bedroom – we can imagine waking up to the seascape in the morning. This place is ideal for friends or a family.

If you fancy a day at the beach, Calheta Beach is a ten-minute drive, where you can also find bars, restaurants and a supermarket. Also, close by is Engenho da Calheta, one of the oldest sugar cane mills on the island. The facilities and its machinery were used in the production of sugar cane brandy – head to the tasting room or wine bar here to sample the wares. Calheta is around a forty-minute drive from Funchal city centre, where you’ll find Funchal Cathedral, tropical gardens, the pretty harbour and Madeira wine cellars.
