Further details
Madeira described with expressive attributes such as 'flower island' and 'island of eternal spring' two thirds consists of protected areas with unique and versatile landscapes and nature, abundant with exotic and tropical flowers / fruits due to a mild climate even in midwinter. The villa stands at 50 minutes drive from the airport using express roads and finally through villages with sea view. Express roads with tunnels through mountains and bridges altogether with the recent construction of several new marinas along the coast has increased the popularity of the west side of the island. There are some popular restaurants / bars, mini market and a Bank with ATM nearby with a wider choice in Calheta. The city of Funchal (capital) offers entertaining nightlife, traditional / modern dining and shopping experience in newly built Malls.
A garden in serene order to sit back and take in the atmosphere, forget everything when exploring the views of rolling green countryside in its breathtaking surroundings. Terrace views - lose yourself in imagination whilst snoozing on a hammock with tranquillity and sea view like no other, it really is the Atlantic Jewel. The privacy of the terrace and rear garden selfishly gives you this uniqueness all to one self. Dining alfresco is the perfect way to dine on your holiday, with a traditional local wood burning oven giving an authentic touch with all amenities to hand. A sitting area within the hut spills out onto open patio looking out to the garden and infinity sea view. Sunset is a major feature at this villa. The exclusiveness of this property shares this view with no other and is truly breathtaking. This with a chilled bottle of Portuguese Rose will add the romance to the atmosphere, be sure to capture these moments in your photos.
An appointed representative will meet and greet you on arrival (or at airport for a fee) to familiarise with the villa and surrounding area, she will be available should you have any difficulties.

Guest comments
Beautiful Villa Miradouro
Date of Stay: May 2008
We had a wonderful time at the villa. It was so relaxing and peaceful. Nobody around to spoil the quietness apart from the two resident cats who were a pleasure to have around.
We have been to Madeira many times before but stayed in the tourist area of Funchal. We wanted to know what it would be like to live in a rural area as we want to retire there and it has certainly made our minds up that we will be making our move there. The villa was kept immaculate by Maria the housekeeper. Nothing was a problem to her.
We have already reccommended the property to friends who have booked in the not to distant future.
It is our first time staying at a villa and certainly won't be the last, although we feel that we may have difficulty finding another so stunning.
Thank you to the owner for all his professionalism thoughtout.
We hope to stay at Villa Miradouro again.
John & Sue Surrey.
