About this campspace

This garden is located in what is probably the most photographed corner of Madeira. In the morning you will be woken up by the chirping of birds and the crowing of the cocks. at around 9.30 a.m. the baker's car announces itself with a honk. Now you have to quickly climb over the wall and walk the bumpy path about 80 meters to the street. Then you can buy fresh rolls and cakes for a few cents. If you want more then climb the steep stairs to the top of the cliff and walk to town for about 20 minutes. There is a bakery at the Weinbaumuseum (advance booking required) and two smaller typical shops which are also equipped as a bar. Two restaurants are also within walking distance in about 30 minutes. The church too. Bus stop, ATM, health center in about 25 minutes. There are levadas here and there and they are filled according to the watering schedule. In the vicinity of the garden there are a few holiday homes and about 5 houses inhabited by locals. Get to know the sometimes singing Maria, Lino, Dino, Manuel and the other locals. The sound of the sea is free tent, the sea is about 200 meters away.

The specified additional services can only be booked after consultation. There are only a few types of tea, but no tea bags, the coffee is not instant coffee! Eggs and fruit come from surrounding private farms. The pool is almost completely hidden from view in the owner's private garden. You can also take a shower there.
