Villa Nayara

Description

Villa Nayara, like much of Madeira, is perched on a dramatic hillside, surrounded by vibrantly coloured flowers overlooking sparkling ocean views. This opulent stand-alone home is finessed in ochre and coral tones, with creamy pillars and colonial style architecture.
Set within stunningly elegant Italianate-style gardens and pillared verandas, this two storey dwelling offers sumptuous accommodation for eight, boasting stylish terraces and far-reaching views of ocean panoramas, while additional touches such as the sauna and beautiful dining pergolas lend a note of luxury.
The wrought-iron balustrades and manicured shrubs add a hint of grandeur to this elegant abode, while stepping inside, guests are greeted with airy and breezy interiors, full of natural daylight and dazzling views.
The open-plan living space is finished with buttery yellow tones, an enormous L shaped sofa and flag-tile flooring together with original open fireplace for cosy and home-like appeal. A vibrant and light-filled kitchen with top-grade appliances and splashy modern art sets the scene for lively group meal preparation, while the upbeat feel of this home lends an optimistic air.
The bedrooms are finessed with polish and refined charm, each with its own touches of character, from marina blues with writing desk and chair, to the mint green room with white washed timber furnishing to the candy pink room complete with lime lamp shades.
Set just moments from the amenities of Palheiro Village and the surrounding coast, Villa Nayara is a feel-good home with generous proportions, vivid colour for a local twist and chic outdoor living potential, with panoramic Atlantic views.

#### Location
Villa Nayara is perched in Palheiro Village set on the hills above Funchal, offering a resort environment, with all the amenities and convenience this entails, while being moments from beautiful beaches and wild natural trails that Madeira is known for.
The Palheiro estate has an 18 hole golf course, a spa, gym and array of restaurants, while within ten minutes guests can be in the centre of Funchal, Madeira's capital. Funchal is a historical city, known for its 16th century Gothic cathedral and bustling local life. The Farmers' Market is a colourful affair, wether everything from exotic fruits to traditional delights such as bolo de mel (honey cake), jostling alongside craft shops, flower sellers in traditional costume and lively fishmongers' stalls.
Just 9 kilometres from Funchal, a visit to the village of Camacha, will provide an intriguing insight to local wicker crafts and folklore. A highlight is the traditional dance of the region - the animated Bailinho da Madeira. Most restaurants offer live performances, along with local specialties like kebabs on bay sticks with fried maize.
Madeira is known for its dramatic scenery and botanic gardens, offering a hikers' paradise, through sun dappled mimosa-clad landscapes and volcanic soil, fertile with brightly sprouting blossom.
Walkers have no shortage of choice, with a year-round temperate client, criss-crossing the island are hundreds of miles of trails, following the routes of the ancient ‘levadas' (irrigation channels dug to bring rainwater to Madeira's farmland on the drier parts of the island.) The densely forested mountainous interior is filled with jungle style treks, while the coastal paths are known for their wild flowers and pretty scenery. At the heart of Madeira is the volcanic landscape and the Unesco World Heritage site of the Laurisilva forest.
With so much on offer, from boat trips to the golden island of Porto Santo for wreck diving or the Christopher Columbus Museum to whale and dolphin spotting, to snorkelling to enjoying fine local wines and gastronomy, to enjoying the unparalleled flora and fauna the island is known for, Madeira is sure to leave lasting memories.
