An ideal place for surfers and those who want to do mountain hiking, levada (mini-canals) walks, fishing, rural tourism... It's on the slope of a 590m high mountain called Penha d'Aguia. From the house, you can see the sea and green mountains, and you can hear the brook at night...

In the garden there is parking space for a car, and a typical Madeiran sitting area with stone benches or plastic chairs that you can take outside.

About the host

Hosted by Sietske and Aurelio da Costa

Host profile image
We are a Portuguese/ Dutch couple. Year after year this cottage has been the main holiday destination for us as a family. We love this island, the pleasant climate, the beautiful nature and the friendly people.

Why they chose this property

The property was remodeled in 1993 by my father-in-law. It became ours in 2000 and in 2012 some friends who visited us gave us the idea to start renting it out to travelers, who love the countryside of Madeira, rather than staying in tourist resorts.
We hope that you will enjoy this place as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

What makes this house special to us is the unique location, close to the mountains and to the Ocean. The walls of this cottage are very thick and made out of rocks, as houses were made in the old days. They don't make these kind of houses anymore in Portugal. Inside the cottage there's a lot of pine wood: floors, ceilings, window sills, shutters, stairs, furniture etc.
