The Madeira region
Here in the Atlantic Ocean, not too far from the centre of Europe, we find the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo. The archipelago is famous for its friendly people, exceptional natural beauty and mild climate. Madeira Islands are just a short trip from Europe, to a destination where you can combine holidays on the beach, in the mountains or in the city. Madeira and Porto Santo are the ideal places to relax and restore the balance of mind and body that you need to face the stress of daily life.
Madeira (Wood) is a beautiful verdant island. It is Portugal's "Jewel in the Atlantic". The island is a haven for anyone who enjoys walking, whether your taste runs to gentle strolls or hard core hiking. Madeira’s system of irrigation channels, known as levadas, carry water down from the mountains on gentle gradients. These levadas provide a ready-made system of trails. There are 1300 miles of them, crisscrossing the island, and they have level footpaths running along their entire length. Walkers of all ages and abilities can take in some of the finest countryside, surrounded by colourful foliage and spectacular views.
Madeira’s greatest attraction has to be the subtropical climate, sometimes known as “the island of eternal spring”. Even in winter the temperature rarely falls below 17C, and rarely exceeds 23C in high summer.Garajau has an excellent bus service to and from Funchal as well as to the next viallage Canico and its costal resort of Canico de Baixo.
The landscape is covered in a green mantle of rich subtropical foliage. The variety and profusion of flowers makes the island a permanent flower show. Birds of Paradise, with their bright orange beak-like flowers, blossom in open fields. Fragrant hydrangeas line walking paths (levadas) that skirt the edge of mountain terraces. Because of it´s privileged geographical position and mountainous relief, has a surprisingly mild climate.
Canico / Reis Magos 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.
