Penthouse in Caniço de Baixo
About the home
The penthouse is an open plan 2 bedroom apartment surrounded by a 7’ 6” wide veranda, giving spectacular views of the Atlantic East and West. The all round veranda means there is plenty room to walk round, sit & sunbath. The penthouse is so close to the sea, it affords the luxury of being able to see & hear the water lap on the shore. You can sit and watch the sunrise or watch all types of boats, from fishing boats to pleasure boats or cruise liners sail or cruise past.
The penthouse is within walking distance and easy access to some of the nicest lavada walks in Madeira and a short distance from two golf courses. It is an ideal location for those who want a resort holiday away from the busy city of Funchal. Surrounded by hotels with indoor and outdoor swimming pools and full leisure centres and next to the limpid waters of the Atlantic.

Conditions
We strongly recommend that you do not book car hire before leaving the UK, because if you need a car you may only do so for a few days rather than for the full week. Indeed upon arrival you may decide to use taxis or public transport. The local bus service is excellent, so much so that we always use the bus from Caniço de Baixo.
However, if you do decide to hire, there are four car hire companies in Caniço de Baixo just outside the apartment block. Their prices are competitive.

The Madeira region


Madeira, one of the most beautiful islands in Europe, is Portugal's "Jewel in the Atlantic". The landscape is spectacular. A green mantle of rich subtropical foliage covers the landscape. The flowers & plants bloom throughout the year, making the island like a permanent floating flower show. The bright orange beak-like, birds of paradise flowers, blossom in open fields.
The levadas, [walking paths] that skirt the edges of the mountain terraces, are lined with fragrant hydrangeas. The 1,300 miles of levadas crisscrossing the island are Madeira’s system of irrigation channels. They carry water down from the mountains on gentle gradients. They have level footpaths running along their entire length, providing a ready-made system of trails. They are a perfect path for walkers of all ages & abilities. Madeira is ideal for anyone who likes gentle walks or hard core hiking.
Because of its sub-tropical climate, the island is often referred to as the "island of eternal spring". The temperature varies between 18C and 23C throughout the year.
The people are friendly, helpful and gracious, this is particularily noted by our guests as the get to know the people in the local restaurants, bars and shops.
The Canico / Canico de Baixo area
Caniço de Baixo is a modern resort area with stylish villas, hotels & holiday homes. Becasue it is a costal tourist zone, it has an excellent selection of amenities including restaurants, bars, 2 mini-market, 4 car hire outlets, souvenir shop & tourist shop.
There are a number of sport and spa hotels in the resort, each makes outside visitors very welcome and the facilities can be used for a small fee. All the hotels also offer evening entertainment. Almost all of the local hotels offer indoor [heated in winter], & outdoor swimming pools. Most have a Jacuzzi, sauna, gymnasium, health & beauty centre, massages, beauty salon, spa treatments. All hotels offer a Happy hour 18.30 to 20.00 with nightly entertainment – outside guests are very welcome.
The limpid waters in Caniço de Baixo offer three excellent diving schools & perfect conditions to visit the fine ocean depths.
The town of Canico, with a shopping centre & supermarkets, is 2.5 kilometres away and Funchal is 10 Kilometers. Both can be reached using the excellent regular bus service which runs between Canico de Baixo and Funchal. The bus stop is 30m from the apartment.
Caniço de Baixo is a beautiful, quiet & peaceful coastal resort. It is an ideal location for those who want a resort holiday, but away from the busy city of Funchal.
The new dramatic Palheiro golf course with its stunning views is about 7 km away. Madeira’s oldest golf course, the PGA European Tour course -Santo da Serra golf course with its spectacular 27-holes is also within easy reach - 13 km away. More details on www.madeira-golf.com
Caniço de Baixo is a good location from where one can hike & walk the islands amazing levada irrigation system spanning 2,500 kilometres, which meander round the mountains.
We recommend you use Turitrans which is located at the entrance to the apartment & highly recommended by our guests. They only take a maximum of 8 on their walks and 15 on their tours. They use mini busses for all their excursions. Check it out on http://turitrans-infocentre.com email: madeira@turitrans-infocentre.com. One of the reasons we do not recommend car hire is because this company does such good trips and walks and many of our guests find this a more relaxing way of seeing the island.

Connie . The apartment was fabulous and was in a lovely position. Luckily it was easy to get to the bus stop and the local restaurants unlike some of the other apartments being advertised.
Its hard to make any criticism of the apartment apart from -Lack of egg cups. The apartment rates as one of the best we have ever stayed in and certainly has the best views. I will be in touch some time to book the same accommodation. Many thanks Alan
Review Title : 303013 - "Imaculate apartment"
"What can i say that has not been covered the other review but "wow". This is a truly wonderful apartment and it has one of the best views of an apartment that we have ever stayed in. The owner has gone out of their way to make sure everything is in the apartment that you could possibly need. Only thing missing was egg cups
We stayed here at the end of August and the weather was a bit on the warm side and will make sure I go a little later next time” Alan.
26/08/2009 “ Hello, I want to tell you, that our holiday was great. All functioned perfect. The apartment was beautiful !! Everything all right !! It would not be our last habitation Greetings from Germany Daniela Bonavita
19/03/2009 Hi Connie, Just wanted to drop you a line to say what a great holiday we had. Apartment was brilliant fitted the bill perfectly. View over the Atlantic was breath taking.
All the literature in the apartment was extremely useful, especially the bus timetable. Took a bit of working out though, saying that we did manage to get around the whole island in a week. Did some great walks as well. I'll certainly be recommending your apartment to my friends. Thanks again Sharon
