An unexpected Paradise
This was supposed to be a romantic adventure for my husband and I but at the last moment he was unable to go with me so it became was solo adventure. Admittedly driving on Madeira Island can be surprising because of the narrow roads and fast speeds the locals drive. I was a little nervous trying to find the location but once I understood how to open the gate to the property I was amazed by even the driveway. It was covered with flowers the entire way to my cottage. I parked in a parking area and walked down to my cottage and it was just gorgeous. Almost hidden with hydrangeas and agapantha blooms. It looks over the ocean from the outside area and I almost hated to even go inside. It was just adorable. The kitchen had a slightly vintage feel to it, which I loved and the bedroom upstairs was super charming. I almost wish I had more free time to be able to just hang out at the cottage and enjoy its beauty. It also had a walking trail that I found that went to a lookout over the valley where you could see houses across the way perched on the mountain. This was really cool, I even went out there with a flashlight at night as and saw a little church and houses lit up at night as the fog crept in it made some really amazing pictures. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and if I ever go back to Madeira Island this is where I'm staying! I highly recommend it if you don't mind driving a little bit out of town to enjoy the beauty, the quiet and the views. Tip the gate won't open if your car is
