Location & Accessibility

Public Transport

Funchal Airport (FNC) is approximately a 30-minute drive away. Access is typically via rental car, private transfer, taxi, or bus. Public bus services are available but may have limited schedules.

Car Considerations

A rental car is highly recommended for exploring Madeira's hikes, attractions, and larger supermarkets. Free on-street parking is available near the property, though it can be tricky to find at times.

Walkability

The immediate waterfront area is very walkable. Essential daily amenities like a few restaurants and a small grocery store are within walking distance. For anything beyond, taxis are available but can become expensive for frequent use.

Key Distances

Less than a one-minute walk to the beach and ocean. A 30-minute drive to Funchal Airport. Walking distance to a handful of cafes and restaurants.

Challenges & Tips

The terrain is challenging; the town is built on a steep hill directly behind the property. For flexibility, consider renting a car for weekends while using taxis sparingly during the week. The location is very quiet and safe.
