Meanwhile, the well-appointed summer kitchen provides you with everything you might need for a family feast al fresco, including a traditional barbecue grill and an outdoor dining area.

The villa is conveniently located, providing you with easy access to Ribeira Brava's scenic town centre and many of the island's captivating attractions. Whether you are an avid hiker, a beach enthusiast, a dedicated foodie, or seeking to learn more about the rich culture of this magical island, Villa Carnation serves as the ideal base for all your Madeira adventures.

Nestled amidst the serene natural beauty of the Serra D’Água Valley, Ribeira Brava is a charming coastal town steeped in history. Its charm is evident in the enchanting cobblestone streets and whitewashed houses overlooking the sparkling turquoise ocean, making it a contender for the title of the most beautiful town in Madeira. The shoreline, dotted with idyllic beaches, inviting cafés, and delightful restaurants, provides the perfect setting to savour local culinary delights on days when you would rather indulge in the island's delicacies than cook up a feast at Villa Carnation.

Discover a local cultural treasure by visiting the Forte de São Benta, home to a picturesque lighthouse offering stunning coastal views. The Igreja de São Bento, a local church, is a remarkable structure that safeguards precious paintings from the sixteenth century, which reflect the historical trade ties between Madeira and Europe. Stay close to home with invigorating Levada walks, which give you the opportunity to explore a network of manmade irrigation systems covering an amazing 1,350 miles. The walk from Levada Nova to Tabau promises magnificent vistas, ancient bridges, and sixteen miles of interconnected tunnels, with guided walks catering to various abilities.

Roughly forty minutes away from Ribeira Brava by car, Ponta do Parge boasts breathtakingly steep cliffs which rise dramatically from the sea and give you the sense of having reached the end of the world, with nothing but the vast ocean stretching until the Americas. Don't miss the once-in-a-lifetime sunsets from this remarkable vantage point.

A day trip to Funchal, the capital of Madeiran, is also a must. Approximately twenty-five minutes away by car, Funchal is known for its small-town Portuguese charm and picturesque waterfront, where pretty cafés and traditional restaurants beckon tourists with their distinctive local flavours. Explore the vibrant Mercado dos Lavradores for an authentic island experience, with friendly stallholders selling fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish. Visitors are always recommended to indulge in pastéis de nata, delicious Portuguese custard tarts made by local artisan bakers.

For an exhilarating experience, hop on the Funchal Cable Car and ascend high above Funchal to Monte, an area that provides spectacular panoramic views. Wander through magnificent tropical gardens, including the Botanical Garden with its gorgeous floral displays, before exploring the Natural History Museum. Conclude your adventure with a choice between a return cable car trip or a daring descent in a traditional Madeira toboggan – not for the faint of heart! Later on, make your way to the beach for a sunset swim before returning home to Villa Carnation in time for a laidback family barbecue on the terrace.
