    The apartment is small but very comfortable with a beautiful external relax and chilling area. The place is far from the nearest city, this could be a pro or a con, it was a pro for us as you could have all the area for yourself

Property information

Located in a very secluded area, a few meters away from the beach, this single-story wooden house is perfectly restored. Ideal for those seeking total rest as a family or as a couple. All the surroundings of the house are paradisiacal, being therefore the perfect choice to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, just listen to the sea and see stars at night. This house stands out for its "open space" characteristics, for privileging the natural light inside, for its "clean" and minimalist decoration. With 2 bedrooms (1 double bed and 2 single beds) and 1 bathroom with shower, this house has capacity for a maximum of 4 people. Outside, there is a very pleasant leisure area, a portable barbecue, and a dining area. Set between the green of the mountain and the blue of the sea, this property has a sweeping view of the Atlantic Ocean that conveys a sense of calm and peace. There is no cell phone network, only the internet. However, the internet connection is unstable, so it is not ideal for work. Due to the exotic location of the house, the cliffs on the north slope block sun exposure from October 15 to February 15. The house has parking outside the property.

Neighbourhood information

The house is located on the north coast of Madeira Island, in São Jorge, a parish in the municipality of Santana. Being located in a secluded area by the sea, it is a 14-minute drive from the center of São Jorge (where you can find a mini-market) and a 16-minute drive from the center of Arco de São Jorge, a neighboring parish where you can visit the Wine and Vine Museum. The closest bar to the house is a 10-minute drive away. The historical center of Santana is a 24-minute drive away. There you can find a supermarket, several bars and restaurants. Take the opportunity to visit the Typical Houses of Santana, the Rocha do Navio Cable Car, and the Madeira Theme Park. Contemplate the views over the northern coast of the island by visiting the belvederes closest to the house. In São Jorge you will find sights like the Vigia viewpoint, the São Jorge Ruins, and the Ponta de São Jorge. In the next parish, near the center of Arco de São Jorge you will find the Arco de São Jorge viewpoint and the Cabo Aéreo viewpoint. Both are about 25 minutes by car from Casa da Rocha. Closer you will find the Cabanas viewpoint, a 14-minute drive away. The city of Funchal is about 1h away by car.
