AREA The house is strategically located near the Girassol Bar and just a few minutes' walk from Porto Santo's magnificent beach. This proximity allows you to easily enjoy the sun and the sea, while the house provides a peaceful retreat after a day full of activities. Porto Santo is a beautiful island located in the Madeira archipelago, Portugal. Known for its main tourist attraction, its 9km long golden sandy beach along the south coast and stunning landscapes, this paradise island attracts visitors in search of tranquillity, natural beauty and a relaxing atmosphere. The crystal-clear water combined with the fine, soft sand provide the perfect environment for sunbathing and refreshing dips. In addition, the sand at Praia do Porto Santo is believed to have therapeutic properties, which attracts visitors in search of health and wellness treatments. Another unmissable attraction is Pico do Castelo, the highest point on the island. Climbing to the top of this mountain offers an incredible panoramic view. You can see the beauty of the blue sea and the lush green vegetation that covers the island. Pico do Castelo is also home to historic ruins, remnants of a fortress built in the 17th century. The town of Vila Baleira, the island's capital, is also worth a visit. With its cobbled streets, colourful and charming houses, this historic town, dating back to 1418, offers a charming atmosphere. In the centre of Vila Baleira is the Casa-Museu CristĂłvĂŁo Colombo, an old house that houses a museum dedicated to the famous navigator. In addition to the attractions mentioned above, Porto Santo Island also offers opportunities to practise water activities such as diving, sailing and windsurfing. There are also a variety of restaurants serving delicious local cuisine. The nearest airport is Porto Santo Airport, about 3 kilometres from the property by car.

The house is amazing! Has everything you might need, the location is great (3 minutes walking to the beach) and it's great for families. Will return again!
if you like spending a lot of money for a house full of mould, also in the freezer and fridge, drains that need to be covered to endure the stench, a roof that drips, and furniture that my grandmother wouldâve considered unusable to sit on, then an island apart is your place to go
If you enjoy the fact that complaints are ignored or replied to in such a way that the blame is now with the tenant, then an island apart is perfect for you
We certainly will never use that agency again.
Look out for a video on YouTube which I think I will post if only to prevent others falling for them.
We have stayed at dozens of houses and apartments over the years, but this place certainly beats anything weâve ever come across.
