Casa de Ponte, a Home in Madeira

Casa de Ponte was originally a modest house built in the 18th century, rebuilt in the 20th century in the current configuration, where it operated a milk collection point for local producers. One of the most imposing houses on the site, it was acquired by José de Ponte and Maria, who emigrated, leaving on the island the only daughter who would continue the legacy of honour. Casa de Ponte has been in the family for three generations and for many more will last. Casa de Ponte is a monument to the resilience and perseverance of Madeiran people, a hymn to the family and roots. More than a house, the Casa de Ponte is a landmark of love.
This house with history is ideal for families and groups of up to five people.
The terrace and garden are spacious, sunny and have a wide view to the ocean and agricultural land.
The house is 100 m2 and comprises three bedrooms, living room, dining room, reading room, kitchen, two bathrooms, as well as terrace and garden with sea view, barbecue and private parking.
The house is equipped with a fridge, washing machine, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker and other utensils, as well as bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi, TV with international and children’s channels, and other amenities to provide a pleasant and relaxed stay.

LOCATION
The house is in a rural area at 366 m from sea level and at 2,4 km from the village of Ponta do Sol, where there is a beach and some restaurants and cafes.
Ponta do Sol is located in the southwestern part of the island, which has the best weather conditions in Madeira.
A few kilometres away there are stunning cliffs, mountains and Laurissilva forest for nature lovers and hikers.
The house has access to the main roads, but some roads are steep and narrow.

REMARKS
A car is recommended to this location. Free car park is available in the house or on the street.
As some roads in Madeira are steep and narrow, smaller vehicles with powerful engines are recommended.
Cleaning is done before guests check in and then there is a weekly maintenance cleaning, which includes the change of bed linen and towels. To increase the frequency, an additional cleaning service must be requested.
As this is a rural area, there is potential for noise from dogs and other domestic animals on neighbouring properties.
Due to the climate, there are also insects and lizards in the rural surroundings, which may be attracted to food scraps. For those who are uncomfortable with the presence of insects and lizards, we do not recommend staying in a rural area.
