About this property
Point of the Sun is a lovely home that is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The homes high up location offers great views from anywhere and everywhere in the house and makes for a unique holiday experience where you can watch over the magical village of Ponta do Sol.
Outside lies a front terrace equipped with deck chairs just in front of the private pool. Guests can use this space to dry off and catch some sunshine while dipping in and out of the pool. The pool lies right at the edge of the terrace so that you can swim while looking out at the striking cliffs against the bright blue sky and sea. The garden also possesses a hammock which is ideal for resting in the sun while slowly drifting off to sleep. The garden’s outdoor fireplace is ideal for cosy evenings eating al fresco under the star-filled night sky.
Inside, the sizeable open plan living and dining area are both charming and elegant. The room comprises of bright wall art, laminate floors, a comfy sofa and artistic ornaments. This is a wonderful place to socialise in or simply relax in while being entertained by the home’s television. The kitchen comes fully equipped, so if you fancy trying your hand at cooking while you’re away, you’ll have all of the necessary equipment to do so. There is also an exciting games room that comes complete with a second television, a PlayStation and table games on the first floor where guests can indulge in more indoor evening entertainment.
The master bedroom contains a gorgeous en-suite and entrance on to the terrace where marvellous views can be enjoyed. All of the bedrooms benefit from a minimalist style and blazing natural light.
Ponta do Sol is a favourite amongst visitors, as it tends to be the sunniest place on the island and you can enjoy dramatic views of the sea splashing off the rocky beach. One of the oldest municipalities in Madeira, Ponta do Sol is one of the most attractive and character-full towns on the island, with small streets and lanes that have been carefully preserved along with the delightful town houses. Some of these have been transferred into small hotels, bars and restaurants.
Seasoned golfers will be eager to visit the Palheiro Golf course which is situated only 30 km from the villa. Set within the wonderful 200-year-old Palheiro Estate beside five-star hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro, the golf course itself is a beautiful sight worth admiring. So, even if you don’t play, you can enjoy taking in the arresting scenery.
The 18-hole championship golf course was designed by golf architect Cabell B. Robinson and sits almost 500m above sea level so benefits from striking views over the skyline and ocean. The course is also home to a wonderful botanical woodland containing vegetation and beautiful fragrant flora.
Funchal Airport is only 40 km away from the villa.

The house has a exclusive location. You have a view on the village, the beach and other houses on the flanks of the narrow valley. The house is very spacious and very clean! Because there is no parkingspace you have to leave your car on the road. Then you have to do some stairs and a short walk along the bananatrees to the house, for us no problem at all. If you like music, this is the perfect place to stay. Sometimes there is music in the evening from the hotel on the other side of the hill or from the village. We liked it! That also means that during the day you hear the noise from the traffic in the village that is driving to the nearby VE3. The communication with Carlos was perfect!
