Nestled up above the gloriously blue Atlantic ocean sits this contemporary dwelling, providing a luxurious pad for you to return to after long and lovely days exploring Santa Cruz in Madeira. We adore the outside space, with a large pool that overlooks the sea where you can have fun with loved ones – and there are plenty of poolside loungers where you can kick back with a good book in peace. There's also a covered dining area where you can eat alfresco, as well as outdoor lounge areas where you can relax with friends and watch the sky turn pink on summer evenings. Inside, cool and modern interiors make the home feel fresh. The home is well-prepped to be the background for many happy memories with family and friends, with a large lounge area where you can enjoy party games in the evenings, and a dining area where you can share a toast to your wonderful getaway.
