Description Nature of the Valley: São Vicente

Tucked away amid the river valley of Sao Vicente, this countryside spot in Madeira offers a tranquil setting from which to relax and enjoy nature – all while locating you just ten minutes from the sea and a five-minute drive from volcanic caves.

Soak up the luscious green landscapes visible in every direction while chilling out in the sunshine. With a private outdoor terrace with a barbecue, enjoy laid-back afternoons tucking into long lunches in utter serenity. Evenings here are fabulously peaceful – and you'll even find a shared Jacuzzi hot tub to unwind in after a long day of exploring the island.

Head out to Funchal, Madeira's capital, around a thirty-minute drive away or keep things low-key by adventuring around the local valleys of São Vicente and the nearby beaches. With so much to see and do here, if you have a car – the opportunities are virtually limitless.
