Casa Blandy is a stunning, new three-bedroom villa, perched above the sunny resort of Ponta do Sol on the southwest coast of Madeira overlooking spectacular sea views.
A great deal of time and attention has been poured into making this a handsome home, and those with a taste for modernity will like the neutral tones and bold touches including marbled walls and striking artwork.
On the ground floor you’ll find a large lounge with sleek furnishings, stylish décor and a satellite TV. Whitewashed walls and swathes of natural light create a tranquil ambience and it won’t be long before you’re relaxing on the lounge sofa and staring through the sliding glass doors, mesmerised by the ocean views. Alternatively, step out onto the balcony and feel the sun and sea breeze on your face.
From the lounge, move into the separate dining area which features some elegant touches including ambient lighting, potted plants and a stylish mirror on the wall. There’s a dining table for meal times but the charming balcony is inviting and there’s ample room for everyone outside.
The adjoining kitchen is cool, sleek and kitted out with modern appliances including dishwasher, coffee machine and huge fridge. It opens onto a large, marble-topped breakfast bar and terrace. On this floor you’ll also find a bedroom featuring a double bed with access to the balcony.
Upstairs, the remaining bedrooms are large and cool with double beds, and their own pristine, en-suite bathroom. Both bathrooms feature showers and one even has a whirlpool bathtub in which you can soak. There’s also a handy laundry room on this floor for washing and drying clothes.
While there is much to enjoy inside, the roof terrace is the real draw card and the perfect spot for basking in the sun. Simply relax on a sun lounger with a cool drink in hand and lap up the lovely sea views. The more active can make use of the spin bike or swim laps in the pool. And after burning off all that energy, you’ll want to put some fresh fish on the grill and dine al fresco at the covered terrace table.
Ponta do Sol is a quiet residential area with small streets and lanes. You’ll find some charming restaurants and bars nearby, and a handy supermarket while Praia da Ponta do Sol, a pretty pebble beach, is a 10-minute drive from the villa.
Casa Blandy is located in the quiet neighbourhood of Ponta do Sol, a 600 year-old village with a stunning coastline, cobbled streets and historic architecture. Meaning ‘sun point’ Ponta do Sol is regarded as the sunniest part of the island. The surrounding landscape features lush banana plantations while the town has plenty of attractive restaurants, bars and shops, and a stunning coastline with dramatic sea cliffs. It’s less than a 10-minute drive from the villa to the pretty beach of Ponta do Sol. Although the beach is covered in pebbles rather than sand, it’s a peaceful place for a swim and has calm waters. Afterwards, enjoy a leisurely lunch or drink at one of the many restaurants or bars.
While in town, head to the John do Passos Cultural Centre. The centre celebrates the great 20th century American writer whose grandparents lived here. Spend time browsing through his books, learning about his life and looking at some artifacts in the Passos exhibition.
From Ponta do Sol it’s a leisurely 15-minute walk up the hillside to Zino’s Palace. This charming pink building was once the summer residence of the noble Zino family and remains an example of Madeira’s historic architecture. Make sure stop at the terrace, order a drink and soak up the romantic views.
For even more spectacular vistas head to Paul da Serra, Madeira’s largest and highest plateau. It’s a 30-minute drive from the villa and at 1,500 metres offers sweeping views of the surrounding valley and mountains. It’s a great place for a picnic or to walk and immerse yourself in nature.
Just 10-minutes drive from Ponta do Sol you’ll find more natural beauty at Cascata dos Anjos. Here, a waterfall cascades off a cliff and rains onto the coastal road below. You can drive through the waterfall (make sure your windows are up!) or park on the side of the road and cool off by walking through it.
Further attractions and historical sights can be found in Madeira’s capital, Funchal, a 30-minute drive from the villa.
