The property includes 2 private and independent Houses, the Stone House belonging to the owners for an eventual holiday time in Madeira and the New House which is just perfect to accommodate 1 or 2 couples, a group of friends or a family with kids, it has two floors, surrounded by gardens, with some facilities as barbecue area, infinity pool with 9.6x4.6m, chill out zone, aromatic herbs garden and laundry. You are presented with a large open garden/sun terrace where you can soak up the fabulous climate from the cushioned sun loungers before taking a dip in the private infinity pool (Outside area with more than 500m2, equipped with garden furniture). You can also enjoy every single moment of your stay in the privacy of your balcony. There are plenty of spaces for socialising and private relaxation including, the dining area by the swimming pool just next to the barbecue and the whale viewpoint.
Inside the complex there is a crop land with fruit trees, like mango, lemon, banana, and papaia, some species of vegetables and herbs are also available for guests use like, lettuce, cabbage, pumpkin, suit and hot peppers, strawberries, rocket, oregano, mint, savoury, basil, coriander, parsley and fennel.
At 50 meters from the Villa you will be able to pick up fresh and potable drinking water from a fountain for your daily consumption, this water has origin in a water spring from a higher hill.
The Villa it self is full of history, and still is in the hands of the same family for nearly five generations. This remarkable history originated the Villas name, “Miradouro da Baleia” witch means a Whale Viewpoint, based on the past experience where whales where spotted at this point. Nowadays this restored area as it was originally, its a gathering space to socialise and enjoy the sunset over the sea, or you can try your chance of spotting a whale with the provided binoculars.
Villa Miradouro da Baleia has some of the best ocean and mountain views and exudes modern luxury and opulence at every turn. The architecture makes the most of the outstanding views, which are hard to match. Cosiness, home-like feeling, attention down to the last detail. These are some of the values that inspired the concept of the Villa.
As you watch the sun set over the sea, whether from the infinity pool (9.6x4.6)m, or from the whale view point, or even lounging with a drink after dinner, don't be surprised to find yourself gazing aimlessly into the distance. There is no need for words as the full realisation that you are in a tropical paradise hits you.
