About this property

Magical Mountain Retreat - Zembica by Atlantic Holiday

Experience the mystical wonder of the Sao Vicente valley in this beautifully designed 2-story cottage. With a direct seaview of the Ilheu Mole, Zembica is perched up amongst the clouds; surrounded by mature landscaping and expansive mountain views from each angle.



Comfortable for up to four guests, Zembica features a loft-style main bedroom with double bed, a secondary bedroom with single bed and seating area, and a pull out couch in the living room. A bathroom with shower can be found on both floors.



Rebuilt in 2020, the cabin features insulated walls, exposed wood beams, energy efficient air conditioner/heater, smart TV, modern kitchen, patio table, sliding glass doors, and a 2nd floor balcony with Wysteria-vined railing.



Explore various exterior seating nooks to soak in the magic of this special place. We invite you to enjoy our fruit trees and herbs to enhance the stay.

If you are fortunate, you’ll smell the distinct fragrance of the Laurel trees, the music of canary birds, and the iconic bells of Nossa Senhora de Fátima Chapel.



Being surrounded by nature, it’s important to note that insects can occasionally make their way inside. We make every effort to minimize this through proactive exclusion measures.



Zembica is nestled in the mountains, with steep, winding roads that require a strong vehicle and attentive driving. We provide step-by-step video directions to guide guests safely. The view from the top is stunning, it is an amazing choice if you are confident driving in mountainous terrain.



Experience the majestic beauty of the North, at Zembica.
