Description Dragonfly Flutter: São Tiago

With a location dubbed 'the sunniest place in Madeira', it's little wonder this home is committed to letting so much of the outside in. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors flood the modern villa with light and, more importantly, give you front-row seats to breathtaking views over the ocean and hillside. The interiors are sharp and clean, with white-washed walls, cream colours and the occasional pop of teal. The large living space has enough room for your whole group, from dining at the glass table to chilling out on one of the luxury beanbags. Even the games room feels futuristic thanks to a white, curved pool table and matching foosball table. No matter how much you love the modernity of this spot, most of your time will invariably be spent soaking up the vista, whether from the infinity pool or one of the loungers. While restaurants and bars are a drive away, the back garden has its own bar and barbecue area for you to practise your grilling and mixology skills.
