Rural Location
Casa Tipica is situated in the village of São Jorge in the municipality of Santana. São Jorge, which is a land of unique landscapes, is also interesting in relation to the natural and historical heritage.
Those who visit the parish can take the opportunity to get to know Serragem da Achadinha. It was considered to be a Monument of Local Value by the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC) since 1998. Located in the Sítio da Achadinha this sawmill offers you the possibility to observe ‘on-site' a watermill and water-powered saw, which show how the population used the driving force of the water for their livelihood.
In Calhau de São Jorge you can find the Primitive Core of the parish of São Jorge. These ruins belong to the old sugar cane mills that were built there in the early settlement. This nucleus is classified as a Monument of Municipal Interest since 2003, because of its historical relevance.
You must also visit the lighthouse of São Jorge, in Sítio da Vigia. Apart from serving as a guide for marine navigation, it is a very popular place for visitors. Also stop off at the viewpoint of Pico and indulge yourself with a panoramic view over the parishes of São Jorge and Santana.
São Jorge has, as a monument of great interest, its parish church. Built in 1761, this temple is considered the landmark of the architectural heritage of the Municipality because it is the largest Baroque church in the region. Apart from its great size, its interior has an altar in gilded woodwork and a fine collection of paintings. This Church is considered a Monument of Local Value by the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC), since 1995.

ABOUT MADEIRA
The island of Madeira can be found south west of mainland Portugal, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the island’s location, its is considered to have a Mediterranean climate that serves locals and visitors all year round – making it an ideal escape from reality at any point in the year.
What we love Madeira for is its seemingly ongoing festivals! Madeirans have found an excuse to celebrate most things; including film, their natural surroundings and key patron saints. This means that planning a visit during these days and even weeks of commemoration is well worth it (scroll down to see some key dates).
Madeira is divided into several municipals, each with a special offering to those who visit this island. Our favourite two communities are Funchal and Calheta and these are where you will find most of our beautiful villas.
Madeira’s landscape extends much more than a striking coastline. Make sure you pack some hiking boots and venture inland during your stay. With mountainous trails along Vereda do Arieiro, or more countryside appropriate paths like Levada do Risco and waterfall chasing treks like Levada do Caldeirao Verde – this archipelago has everything a keen outdoors person requires.
For those who enjoy either playing or watching sports, you’ll be happy to know Madeira offers so much selection. Madeira is also home to three notable football clubs, so if you’re visiting during the football season and want to see a good quality of football, you have every chance to. Porto Santo Golfe is the island’s renowned golf course. With an 18-hole course (Par 72) overlooking a Galapagos-like backdrop, golf enthusiasts will certainly want a ‘slice’ of the action! Surfers can access some great beaches like Jardim do Mar, Ponta Pequena, Paul do Mar, and Fajã da Ovelha in order to find some swell. Or, if you’re simply looking to recline on a sun lounger and soak up some rays, whilst listening to crystal clear waves break as they hit the shores, you will find plenty of man-made beaches & Lidos created for your leisure!
With a superb climate, close proximity to the coastline, wonderful cuisine, charming locals and astonishing scenery – this is a fabulous holiday choice for families & friends.
But while you're enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Madeira, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we've put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
