Villa Albatroz is a well designed, large family villa with an abundance of space inside and out. Furnished to a very high standard we think you will find that this holiday villa has everything you would expect to find in a quality rental property. Perched on the top of a cliff, it ebnefits from panoramic views of the sea second to no other villas in Madeira.

With the exception of the lounge, all of the rooms are one level. All 4 bedrooms are a good size and have en-suite bathrooms. There are two twin bedrooms, a double and an exceptionally large Master Suite which can comfortably accommodate 2 extra full size single beds, so perfect for a family of 4. All bedrooms have individually controlled air-conditioning units which also provide warmth in the cooler months.

The split level open plan lounge and dining area is south facing with large windows overlooking the garden, swimming pool and ocean.

Outside on the terrace is another dining table and a fixed barbecue, ideal for dinning al fresco.
Surrounding the villa is plenty of space for youngsters to run. There are 8 sun beds to laze around the 12 metre swimming pool, and you even have your own private 'Miradouro' (viewpoint), to watch the passing ships.

All in all a first class villa that will not disappoint.

Madeira
Some seven hundred kilometres west of the African coast, Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island, lapped by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The first island to be discovered by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture, history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities, added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops, shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a thoroughly modern atmosphere.
