This charming house, set on an authentic family farm, is the perfect base from which to explore the region and its natural surroundings.
Ideal for families, the accommodation features a bright living area with an open-plan lounge and kitchen. The living room is equipped with a sofa, perfect for relaxing, and a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall.
The kitchen, with its modern and functional design, is ideal for preparing all daily meals. In addition to basic crockery and utensils, the kitchen is equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle, hob and a charming peninsula, perfect for sharing meals as a family.
The inviting balcony allows you to easily gather the family outdoors to enjoy the natural light and the tranquillity of the surroundings and the sounds of nature throughout the day. The entire property invites a genuine rural experience: in the day-to-day life of the farm you can spot and interact with animals such as cows and chickens, as well as the energetic and curious family dog. Farm life also comes with certain smells — some pleasant and fresh, others less so — and the sounds of animals are also present daily, so please bear this in mind.
The three bedrooms are harmoniously decorated to ensure peaceful nights. Two of these rooms are equipped with comfortable double beds and the third bedroom is equally welcoming, featuring two practical single beds.
The bathroom has all the amenities, including towels and toiletries for your convenience.
For your total convenience, the property has outdoor parking, located right next to the house.

Located in the picturesque and verdant municipality of Santana, along the iconic regional road ER103, this accommodation offers total immersion in the lush nature of the north coast of Madeira Island. The energy here is one of pure serenity and renewal, where fresh mountain air meets the endless green of the landscape. Just a few minutes away, you can marvel at the famous and colourful Typical Little Houses of Santana, one of the island's greatest icons. This is also a dream retreat for hiking enthusiasts, being a stone's throw from the Queimadas Forest Park, the magical gateway to the Laurisilva forest (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the spectacular Levada do Caldeirão Verde.
Just 5 minutes away by car, you'll also find Faial Beach, a supervised beach with excellent access and a beachfront bar and restaurant - perfect for enjoying a relaxing day by the sea. Nearby is the Miradouro do Guindaste, a renowned viewpoint for its breathtaking sunrise views and spectacular photo opportunities overlooking the dramatic cliffs of the island's north coast.
Despite being in this authentic oasis of tranquillity, your connection to the vibrant centre of Funchal is very accessible and incredibly scenic. On a beautiful car journey of approximately 40 minutes, you will quickly descend to the sunny Madeiran capital. This proximity allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: the absolute peace and quiet of your 'home' on the north coast and the cosmopolitan life of Funchal, where you can taste exotic flavours at the Mercado dos Lavradores, stroll through the alleyways of the Old Town, ride the cable car to Monte or savour a poncha at the marina, comfortably returning to your retreat at the end of the day.
Beyond the capital, this address serves as an excellent strategic base from which to explore the island's greatest natural wonders. Heading down the ER103 road, you will quickly reach Ribeiro Frio, famous for its trout hatcheries and the unmissable Balcões viewpoint. You also have easy access to the island's highest peaks, being a short journey from the dramatic landscapes of Pico do Arieiro (the perfect spot for an unforgettable sunrise). If you prefer a sea breeze, the charming fishing village of Porto da Cruz — famous for its black sand beaches, surfing and the historic Companhia dos Engenhos do Norte — is just around the corner. A truly inspiring location for those who want to experience the pure essence of Madeira!
