Country House in Madeira Island in Fajã do Mar (Portugal)

This is a small but pleasant country house. The house has one bedroom with two beds, living room with sofa bed, kitchen and bathroom. The house has approximate 60 m2 645 sqft.The house is situated in Porto da Cruz village thats one of the parishes belonging to the Machico council. Its name came from a cross (cruz) that was placed by the explorers on the bay once used as port (porto). Once you arrive youll probably think theres nothing much to do around here. Life seems to have stopped or only to be moving very slowly in this place. But, the attractions of this small parish are hidden and youll have to take a closer look to find them. One of them is the old sugar cane factory, which is still operating the same way, as it was when it started with the sugar production in 1927. It boasts a 26 meter tall tower and when its working you might even see steam coming out! Also not to be missed is the place known as Penha dguia, an imposing rock that separates Porto da Cruz from Faial. Getting up there might be a challenge, as the road is very steep, but the songs of the birds will help you on the way up and once you get there youll be sure it was definitely worth it. The views from Penha dguia are absolutely amazing! Porto da Cruz is also famous for its wine. Known as vinho seco americano (dry red wine made of a type of grape called americana), this local product is the theme for a celebration usually happening in September (Festa do Vinho).
