About this property
Vacations in the countryside - Casinha dos Canhas
Country house, with two floors, ideal for those seeking a vacation destination in a rural atmosphere. On the entrance floor of this typically Madeiran house, you will find an open-plan living and dining room, access to the kitchen and a suite with double bed, private bathroom with shower and a single sofa bed. The access to the upper floor is made through a spiral staircase. On this level there is an office area, a bathroom with shower, and a bedroom with two single beds, which gives access to a nice balcony.
The architecture of the house and the stone walls are typical of the area where it is located, which makes the rural experience even more authentic. The quiet atmosphere where this property is inserted, allows you to hear and enjoy the chirping of the birds, in a private grass garden. The outdoor dining area also connects to the cultivated area where you can find fruit trees accessible to guests, vines, lemon, anone, and tangerine trees, as well as yams, spinach, and other varieties of plants and flowers.
A perfect place for those who wish to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Ideal for relaxing with family and very close to Levada dos Canhas, for those who enjoy hiking and being in touch with nature.
Maximum capacity for 5 people.
Private parking available.
Wi-Fi available in all areas.
AREA
This property is located in Canhas, Ponta do Sol, in a very quiet area. This house is close to Levada dos Canhas and a few minutes away from Madalena do Mar, a town well known for paragliding and where you can find a beach, bars and restaurants with fresh fish. Very close to this property you will find mini markets and some bars.
Canhas is about 30 minutes drive from the center of Funchal.
If you choose to go to the Funchal centre, take the opportunity to explore the city and find out more information about all sorts of activities you can do during your holiday: cultural activities, radical activities, nature related activities... whatever the purpose of your visit to Madeira Island!
