Casa de Ponte, a Home in Madeira

Ponte Cottage was originally a modest house built in the 18th century and rebuilt in the 20th century in the current configuration, where a milk collection point for local producers once operated. One of the most imposing houses in the area, it was acquired by José de Ponte and Maria, who emigrated, leaving their only daughter on the island. The house has been in the family for three generations and will last for many more.

This historic house is ideal for families and groups of up to five people. It has around 100 m² and comprises three bedrooms with two double beds (140 × 190 cm) and one single bed (90 × 190 cm), a living room, dining room, reading room, kitchen, two bathrooms, as well as a terrace and garden, barbecue and free private parking.

The terrace and garden, spacious and sunny, have a wide view of the ocean and the fields.

It also includes a refrigerator, a washing machine, a gas hob, an oven, a microwave, a coffee machine and other utensils, as well as bed linen, towels, fans, Wi-Fi (200 Mbps), a TV with international and children's channels and other amenities for a pleasant and relaxing stay.



📍 NEIGHBOURHOOD

The house is in a rural area 366 m above sea level and 2.4 km from the town of Ponta do Sol, where there is a beach and some restaurants and cafés.

Ponta do Sol lies in the south-west of the island, the area of Madeira with the best weather conditions.

A few kilometres away there are stunning cliffs, mountains and Laurisilva forest for nature lovers and hikers.

A car is recommended; the house has access to the main roads, but some roads are steep and narrow.
