Location

The Small House is a charming little venue situated in the town of Ponta do Sol which is 5-minutes away by car. The quaint restaurant & bar serves a large selection of alcohol from all over the world which can be enjoyed with delicious cheese and meat boards. Madeira's traditional drink, Poncha is particularly excellent here and a hit with all those who try it.

Villa Ponta is only a 25-minute drive away from the lively capital, Funchal. Here, you can board one of the city's famous cable cars and take in the epic birds-eye view of Funchal and the entire island of Madeira. One of the oldest municipalities in Madeira, Ponta do Sol is one of the most attractive and character-full towns on the island, with small streets and lanes that have been carefully preserved along with the delightful town houses. Some of these have been transferred into small hotels, bars and restaurants.

As you board the car and slowly levitate above the city, you will see Funchal's ample greenery and flowers as well as locals going about their daily business. Funchal is where the countryside meets the city and this is all evident from such a high sky-scraping location. The car ride will come down and end in the town of Monte where you can pay a visit to The Municipal Garden which covers a lot of the town. The garden's vivid flowers, range exotic plants (100,000 to be exact) and towering trees all make for an enchanting experience.

The parish of Monte holds a beautiful 18th Century church that presents a great space to absorb and admire history in. Most notably, the tomb of Carlos de Habsburg is located in the church's left side chapel. He was the last emperor of Austria.
