About this property

Villa Achada da Mouca by Madeira Sun Travel

In the emblematic Santana area, Villa Achada da Mouca is the perfect retreat for an escape from daily life. Stop, breathe and welcome!Beyond being surrounded by the nature that so well characterises the island, it is also enveloped by beautiful gardens ideal for recharging batteries, relaxing and reconnecting with Mother Nature. Framing the gardens, we have several reading and leisure nooks, an inviting veranda and even a barbecue area with a winter garden that anticipate the house.Of rustic and rural design, this house is cosy, comfortable, and welcoming. It is divided into 2 bedrooms, a suite with a double bed and another with two separate beds, both with plenty of natural light and views over the garden. Also with a view of the garden and direct access to the outside, we have the living room and its warm decoration. On cooler days, you can even enjoy the fireplace located here and take advantage of this welcoming atmosphere.On this floor, you will find the kitchen and dining area, which are also very well prepared with all the facilities you need for a pleasant stay. On the top floor of the house, you will find a lounge with a secular wine cellar and a billiards table.Despite the property offering 2 private parking spaces, you won't need your car to explore all the natural attractions just a few metres from your accommodation. With a walk for everyone, the idyllic Queimadas area is an inviting 2 km from the property. This short walk that literally begins at the door of your accommodation is just the first of many trails in the area.These routes, which are as iconic as they are recommended, unfold amidst the nature of this parish in a thousand and one options. Among these, the Levada do Caldeirão Verde and the Levada do Caldeirão do Inferno are a must-visit for all who visit us. The Levada do Rei, Levada da Silveira, and the Aguage Waterfall (or Água D'alto) are some more natural attractions in the area.Forest parks with picnic areas, viewpoints as far as the eye can see, the Madeira Theme Park, and, of course, the typical houses of Santana are what make this municipality the best choice when visiting the island!We inform you in advance that our check-ins at 22:00 and after have an extra cost of 20 euros to be paid to the host in cash upon arrival.Since 2017, we have been receiving travellers from all over the world on our beloved Madeira Island, with the commitment to provide memorable experiences and excellent service.

Une maison calme et chaude dans la serra, mais sombre

La maison est à 900 m. d’altitude, au niveau de Queimadas que l’on rejoint le long d’une levada, à 2 km, et près de la route montant au Ruivo. Elle est au milieu des arbres, et a un beau jardin. C’est une maison d’autrefois aux murs de grosses pierres recouverts de boiseries à l’intérieur. Elle est aménagée de façon moderne, tout le confort s’y trouve, elle est chauffée par des radiateurs soufflants situés en hauteur, utiles dès qu’on est à l’intérieur, du fait de températures entre 14° et 10° en janvier, en tout cas au début de janvier 2024. Elle dispose d’une cheminée en insert, agréable le soir, avec le bois mis à disposition. De multiples objets, accrochés aux murs posés sur les étagères ou suspendus au plafond créent un décor vivant et omniprésent un peu déroutant au début, mais qui fait la personnalité de cette maison, en fait attachante. Le défaut réside dans le fait que les pièces à vivre sont sombres, exigeant l’éclairage même en plein jour et même quand il fait beau, mais probablement agréable pour sa fraîcheur en été. Garer la voiture se fait par un plan incliné raide, auquel il faut s’habituer. Les personnes de l’agence de location ont été du début à la fin remarquables de courtoisie et de précision, joignables et nous joignant selon les besoins, y compris dimanche et premier janvier. Globalement un bon séjour, la maison est bien, plusieurs lieux de marche à proximité, se rendre à Santana par la route en lacets est assez rapide, dans les 10 mn.
