The villa looks out to sea from the edge of the village, it is reached on foot by a 150 m pedestrian path from the village square. The villa is 20 m above sea level with an uninterrupted 180 degree sea view over the Jardim do Mar surf break. Facing South West it enjoys spectacular sunsets and moonlight seascapes. The upper floor provides our own accommodation when we visit Madeira and is not offered for rental. This upper floor will be unoccupied from April to September. The lower floor provides a self-contained guest apartment with one en-suite double bedroom and one en-suite twin bedroom, a lounge looking out over the private pool and garden to the sea and a fully fitted kitchen with fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. There is TV and Wi Fi internet. A third en-suite double bedroom which is accessed from the entrance hall is available at a small extra cost. There is a separate laundry room. The cliff top location and the pool mean that small children will require close supervision.
The village of Jardim do Mar is a 60 minute drive from the airport and looks out to sea at the foot of spectacular cliffs, on the sunny southwest coast.
This tranquil unspoiled village of old stone houses, narrow cobbled streets and lush gardens is widely considered by both tourists and Madeirans to be one of the most beautiful villages on the island.
It is a small village with a population of c350 and is noted for its world class surfing. The village has a small hotel with a restaurant, two friendly bars, a village shop and a library with a free Wi Fi Zone.
A new car park at the edge of the village leaves the village square largely free of parked cars. Access to most of the village is by cobbled footpaths from the square.
A seafront pedestrian promenade provides a beautiful setting for a pleasant stroll.
The little harbour has a slipway for small boats, a clean pebble beach for swimming and snorkelling, and nearby beach-bar.
The next village Calheta (5 min. drive) has a busy marina, a sandy bathing beach, shops, supermarket and several more restaurants.
Whale and dolphin watching or fishing excursions can be arranged from Calheta.
Including collecting a hire car, it takes about two and a half hours from landing at the airport to reach Jardim do Mar.
We try to accommodate all of our guests' arrival and departure times, but special arrangements may be necessary for arrivals after 20.00.
