If you want to get away from it all then Casa Do Campo is the perfect retreat for you. Nestled in the hills and countryside, this rustic 2 bedroom cottage will allow you to while away your time without the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A short drive takes you to the expressway and nearby Porto Moniz or São Vicente, or up the plateau of Paul da Serra which provides the best levada walking and hiking on the island.
The ground floor consists of an open plan lounge, dining area and compact kitchen, and in an adjoining room you will find a large internal built-in barbecue, so whatever the weather you can still try your hand at cooking one of the locals favourite dishes - Espetada, succulent skewers of beef.

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.
