The apartment is within walking distance and easy access to some of the nicest lavada walks in Madeira and a short distance from two golf courses.

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.

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.
