Golf:
Madeira's two beautiful international level golf courses are both less than half an hour's drive from the apartment and are well worth exploring. Palheiro Golf: On this 18-hole course, set out over 6086 metres, there is a breathtaking view over the bay of Funchal, and a natural setting which includes a garden with over twenty endemic species of Madeira (including the Laurel) classified by UNESCO as World Natural Heritage. Santo da Serra: The sea and mountain views from the course of Santo da Serra Golf Club make it one of the most spectacular in Europe. The 9003 metres of the 27-hole course make up the ideal green for beginners and professionals alike, which explains why Santo da Serra Golf is host to the Madeira Open.
Levadas:
The network of levadas is only a bus ride or taxi journey away. Levadas are water courses running round the mountains and were built by the first settlers to carry water to inaccessible farmland. Today they are one of Madeira’s greatest tourist attractions. Madeira has a fantastic network of trails and levadas. There are more than 200 levadas crisscrossing the island’s basalt rock masses, taking hikers into a rare natural world. Along these irrigation channels you will come across species of fauna and flora found hardly anywhere else in the world, in Madeira’s traditional Laurissilva Forest, which has been declared a World Natural Heritage Site.
Eating Out & Entertainment:
In the heart of Funchal's restaurant zone and close to all the amenities, this apartment is your perfect base to explore and indulge. You only have to cross the road to experience the world famous High Tea on the terrace at the Reid's Palace Hotel.
