The sleek and stylish Villa Serrado nests in a wonderful, enviable location looking out to sea on the southern coast of Madeira. This fresh, contemporary villa offers four bedrooms, all with ensuites, dressing rooms and glorious seascapes as well as fabulous living space, a stunning infinity swimming pool and fantastic outdoor entertaining space including a covered barbecue area with a pizza oven. You can sit with a glass of local sweet malmsey wine or fiery poncha and a slice of delicious honey cake admiring the spectacular sea views and basking in the famed all year-round sunshine. With its sub-tropical climate, Madeira is a fabulous holiday choice that also boasts numerous cultural twists, a colourful capital, botanical gardens, amazing fine dining, beautiful water channels and the most sensational scenery in its mighty mountain landscape. Villa Serrado is located in Canhas, a suburb of Ponta do Sol, a village best known for the traditional cultivation of sugar cane. The local rum, sugar cane syrup and ‘Bolo de Mel’, the delicious honey cake are all made in the area. Calheta, a fabulous resort, is just up the road and Funchal, the buzzy capital is just along the coast in the other direction. Villa Serrado enjoys this wonderfully central location which is brilliant for exploring the whole island. You will quickly fall in love with Madeira’s beauty, cuisine, cultural treats, friendly locals and massive range of activities. In a nod to the island’s past, you will also notice some quirky British heritage.

Throughout this gorgeous villa you will discover a calm, neutral colour palette, tasteful furnishings, marbled bathrooms and the very best of fittings. With a mountain backdrop and astonishing sea views from almost every angle, your stay will be very refreshing and a real break away from everyday life. The villa is perfect for large families and groups of friends.

The villa’s living room is elegant and wonderfully styled with sofas placed perfectly to enjoy the view and the cable television. It is drowned in natural light, enhanced by its double  height aspect. Doors open to the terrace. The large chef’s dream of a kitchen enjoys glossy white cabinetry and excellent, oversized appliances, inviting you to prepare delicious meals using fresh local ingredients. With a central island, it is a very sociable space which is open to the smart, sophisticated dining area. Here you will find a trendy table and chairs which again opens to the terrace and those views.

Villa Serrado offers four luxurious bedrooms, one of which is located on the first floor with direct access to the terrace. All of the bedrooms enjoy beautifully dressed, sumptuous kingsize beds, ensuite bathrooms and dressing rooms. Two of the bedrooms on the upper floor enjoy their own generous sized terrace. The bathrooms are amazing with large walk-in showers and one also enjoys a bath. The bright and airy hallway on the second floor boasts a spacious, furnished terrace that offers stunning views of the ocean and the surrounding hillside. It is a great spot to disappear to with your holiday book and a glass of your favourite tipple.

The main terrace is incredibly relaxing with its gorgeous infinity pool. You can laze on a sunbed listening to the cool waterspout over the pool, enjoy the sunshine and take the occasional dip to cool off. Your master barbecue chefs can be preparing a feast in the covered barbecue area or perhaps pizzas ready for the pizza oven. The alfresco lounge area is perfect for enjoying a pre-dinner drink and watching the glorious sunsets. Bliss!
