Off the living area, you will find the kitchen. With a sleek monochrome design and large sliding doors leading out the pool terrace, this is bright and modern space that will please any budding chefs. The central island is the focus of the space, and is home to a few barstools so guests can keep the chef of the group company. The kitchen is equipped with all the expected mod-cons necessary to whip up a feast for the whole group.
For guests' convenience, there is a small laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer, making cleaning up any holiday messes a breeze. The billiards room at Villa Andrada is an added bonus!

There are three bedrooms at Villa Andrada, each with a sleek, modern design and homely soft furnishings bringing warmth to the rooms. Each of the bedrooms benefits from its own en-suite bathroom for added privacy. The first bedroom is home to two single beds, while the other two are home to sumptuous double beds. Both of the double bedrooms boast access to the upper balcony, where you will find outdoor seating so you can admire the beautiful sea views as soon as you wake up.

#### Location
The island of Maderia is found off the coast of Africa surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The island is 35 miles long and 13 miles wide and benefits from a mild year-round climate, making it a popular holiday destination.
Villa Andrada is located in the small area of Lugar de Baixo around 2 km east of Ponta do Sol. Found on Madeira's south coast, it is rumoured that this town received more sunshine than anywhere else on the island thanks to its name, which translated into English is 'Sun Point'. Ponta do Sol has historically been a fishing village and today is home to a number of seafood restaurants serving the catch of the day, from muscles to Madeira's famed Espada or black scabbardfish. The town's beach Praia da Ponta do Sol is home to deep black shores thanks to the Madeira's volcanic rock, making going to the beach a somewhat unique experience!
Around a 30-minute drive east of Ponta do Sol you will arrive at Funchal, Madeira's capital city. One of the most popular historical attractions found in the city's Old Town is the Cathedral of Funchal. The cathedral was built during the 16th Century as a symbol of Portuguese power and prosperity. In particular, the altarpiece at the cathedral is simply stunning; with gilt woodwork, small sculptures and oil painting, it really is a sight to behold.
The cable car running up Funchal's hillside is another popular activity in the city and offers a unique perspective on the city from above. Once you have reached the top and admired the magnificent views, you can visit the Monte Gardens with its gorgeous ornamental gardens. You can, of course, take the cable car back down, but if you are after a more exhilarating experience then take a toboggan ride back down the hill. Guided by two men, these rides offer a fast way to fly down the hillside and certainly gets the adrenaline pumping!
Driving west along the coast from Villa Andrada, you will find the town of Ponta do Pargo. Known for its striking high cliffs and strategically positioned lighthouse, this majestic town is a beautiful place to visit. From the town, you can take a walk inland along various paths that will lead you to Gardanta Funda Waterfall. The waterfall is simply stunning and offers a wonderful viewpoint from which visitors can admire the views of the surrounding cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
