Hidden away on the western coast of the enchanting island of Madeira, this contemporary villa stuns with breathtaking sea views that instantly assure you that you made the right choice. The light-filled living and dining area welcomes you with neutral tones and pops of colour added by contemporary furnishings, which sit seamlessly alongside a 70s bamboo swivel chair that's got 'afternoon siesta spot' written all over it. Sliding glass doors lead straight out onto the stone terrace and tranquil tiered garden – which is where you'll want to be spending most of your time under the Atlantic sun. At the end of a long day of exploring the island – either on four wheels, two legs, or wicker sledge – we can think of nothing better than coming back and cooling off in the plunge pool, firing up the barbecue for an alfresco dinner on the terrace, before soothing your aching muscles in the Jacuzzi as you take in the view, drink in hand. Then, when your eyelids get heavy, the minimalist decor of the bedrooms creates the perfect ambience to clear your mind and enjoy an unbroken night's sleep in the comfortable beds.
