Villa Nitram

Situated in a quiet family friendly neighbourhood, just outside of the historic Capital of Funchal, close to the fishing town Camara de Lobos, this stunning modern villa is the perfect abode for those wanting to relax in luxury whilst knowing you are within easy reach of a wide variety of activities. The picturesque local town of Camara de Lobos boasts a beautiful bay where colourful fishing boats pull up onto the grey beaches, overlooked by some of the highest cliffs in Europe. Here you'll discover the beauty that inspired Winston Churchill to paint his celebrated pictures of the region. And with Funchal and the lovely Praia Formosa Beach just a stroll away, you'll have plenty to discover on your doorstep.

This attractive example of modern architecture will provide guests with a delightful open plan living space, drenched in natural light through a bank of glass doors that open onto the terrace, optimising that year-round Madeiran sunshine and lovely sea views. This elegant space offers sleek wooden floors, exposed brickwork and stunning design finishes including a beautiful tropical palm feature, reflecting the natural beauty of the Island within the villa. Through from the stylish dining area, you'll find a fantastic modern kitchen that also benefits from glass doors onto the terrace area.

The three delightful en-suite bedrooms at Villa Nitram will continue to wow guests with their luxurious style. With calming neutral decor and lovely pops of colour through pretty soft furnishings, you will love to retreat here after a long day exploring the Island. And with each room offering access through glass doors out on to a sunny terrace, guests are ensured the cool Atlantic breeze is only moments away from the comfort of your bed. The office on the ground floor can be converted into a twin bedroom for two additional guests, so please enquire for more details.

Guests will love the outside space here, centred around an enticing swimming pool, where you can cool off in the hot afternoon sun, and recline on one of the stylish loungers as you read your favourite book. Crossing the manicured lawn, you can take some shade on the terrace where you can enjoy a glass or two of the local wine. And as the evening approaches, local delicacies can be thrown on the barbecue and you can dine late into the night on the outdoor dining table, discussing plans for your next Madeiran adventure.

Location

Situated in a quiet family friendly neighbourhood, just outside the picturesque fishing town of Camara de Lobos, and just a stroll into the vibrant capital Funchal, you will have a wide range of activities right on your doorstep. Take in the beautiful bay in Camara de Lobos, where colourful fishing boats pull up onto the grey beaches, and amble through the town where you'll find many beautiful historic churches. For those not of the feint-hearted, step out over the 500m drop of the Cabo Girao cliffs on the glass bottomed skywalk and reward yourself with a glass of the traditional poncho alcoholic drink in one of Camara de Lobos' numerous bars.

Just a short walk away, amidst banana plantations and wonderful gardens where flowers bloom all year round in the shelter of the verdant mountains, Funchal is the Island's beautiful capital, relaxed by day and exciting by night. You'll love to amble along Funchal's picturesque seafront promenade enjoying a drink in one of its many beachfront bars. From here take the cable car to Monte, where you can visit the world-renowned Monte Palace Tropical Garden. And to get back to the Old Town from Monte don't miss sliding down the steep hill on a traditional wicker toboggan! Once in the old town, be sure to visit some of the fabulous restaurants serving mouth-watering skewered meats, alongside exquisite tapas and heavenly desserts such as honey cake and passion fruit pudding. Football fans will also enjoy a visit to a museum in honour of Madeira's best loved son Cristiano Ronaldo here.

Just 2km from the villa you'll find Praia Formosa, a quiet stretch of coastline with three black-sand beaches and a larger pebbled beach. Take a walk along the promenade or relax on the shoreline. There are plenty of cafes with terraces to sit at during the day, and the beach bars make it a popular nightlife spot.

If it's a golden sandy beach you desire, then head to Machico on the south east coast, where the sand has been imported from Morocco and you can enjoy fantastic swimming and sunbathing opportunities. Situated in Santa Cruz, you're also in prime position to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding pine landscapes. And with a stunning backdrop of orange houses nestled in green rolling hills, with the largest mountain on the island Pico Ruivo, inviting you to climb its peaks, you'll love its scenic beauty. Santa Cruz is also home to many wonderful 16th century monuments as well as some delicious fine dining restaurants.

There are a wide range of activities on offer on the Island, but one of the most breath-taking has to be a glorious hike along some of the 2,092 kilometres of narrow stone irrigation channels known as levadas, criss-crossing Madeira's lush mountainous countryside into the Laurisilva forest. One of the most scenic is the Levada do Caldeirao Verde, which meanders four miles past leafy glades and plunging ocean views before emerging into a picturesque clearing sprinkled by a 91-meter waterfall. Just spectacular! And for the adrenaline junkies amongst you, try your hand at the many mountain-bike trails that plunge and ascend this beautiful landscape, or throw yourself into some canyoning, which will have you sliding over cascades and abseiling down waterfalls.

For the more serene, a wine tasting tour is a must. Head to the south coast where many vineyards outside of Funchal will offer a lovely day trying delicious world-renowned Madeiran wine. Or perhaps the black lava bathing pools of Porto Moniz, 53km north, will provide the perfect day trip, where the meeting of Atlantic waves and a prehistoric volcanic eruption has formed spiky rings of black lava rock along the waterfront turning it into one of the world's weirdest and most beautiful swimming baths.

However, you like to spend your holiday, Madeira's year-round climate and stunning natural scenery, from majestic mountains, rugged cliffs, lush forests and delightful flower gardens, will provide you with everything you need to enjoy a wonderful holiday experience.
