Seahawk's View São Tiago, Madeira

Holiday Rental Description

Clinging to the hillside, this plush Madeira villa has views for days. From the infinity pool, you can gaze out over the patchwork of lush green fields and orange-roofed villages to the denim-blue Atlantic. Spend sunny days on a lounger, and head up to the first-floor wrap-around balcony for a sublime sunset each day. To the side of the villa, there’s a grassy area just for dining, with a built-in, granite-topped bar for cocktails.

Head inside to find a vision of shimmering marble, plush blue velvet and sparkling silver accents. Every inch of the open kitchen, living and dining room feels like luxury. On sunny days, you can slide open the glass doors to let the sea breeze flow through. If you’re travelling with teenagers (or young-at-heart adults) there’s a dedicated games room with a flatscreen TV, pool, foosball and squishy bean bags. The bedrooms are breathtaking, not just because of the plush decor, but each one has access to a balcony or terrace with fabulous views of the headland. But bagging the master is a particular treat with its corner position and big windows offering a coastal panorama that’s a delight to wake up to.
