From the blossoming garden and fragrant scent of herbs to the elevated views, this is the kind of home that celebrates the unique spirit of its setting. And whether you’re looking for a slow-paced island getaway or an action-packed adventure, this location makes it easy to experience the magic of Medeira. Sitting peacefully on the hills of Santa Maria Maior with the old town just a five-minute walk away, the owners have styled this space to enrich daily living. Wake up early and watch the sunrise from the roof terrace, spend a slow morning swaying in the garden hammock and gather for golden-hour drinks with local delicacies as the sun goes down. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, you’ll find an abundance of space to relax and unwind. Remote workers will also appreciate the dedicated workspace in the loft – which by night transforms into an additional bedroom for two guests. From here, follow the ocean breeze down to the seafront or walk to the renowned Lavradores Market – the perfect opportunity to mingle with locals and sample traditional Madeiran cuisine.
