I took this in May on Madeira Island, Portugal! This is one of the most majestic sights I saw on this island paradise! Penha d'Aguia (Eagle Rock) is really impressive to see up close. It was even difficult to get all this in one photo. I need a better lens ;). I saw it after visiting a distillery in Porto da Cruz. Just a few meters away is this massive landscape! Porto da Cruz is located on the northeastern side of Madeira, definitely a picturesque part of the island! There was even some swimmers around where I took this picture. Everyone was having a good time there, either on the beach of walking along the pier :). There was other awesome views to the other side, as well. Incredible cliffs that seem to go on forever. And it was even foggy on that side, a big contrast to what you see here. I also think I saw Eagle Rock from another side, as well. And would love to return and see more views of it!!

"Wonderful place! Perfect to relax!"

"Le gite de Nelson est parfaitement situé sur les hauteurs de Calheta, la terrasse offre une vue magnifique sur l'océan. Logement bien équipé, idéal pour une famille de 4. Le jardin et la piscine (non chauffée) sont bien entretenus et le cadre est agréable. Nelson est très accueillant, serviable et gentil, toujours disponible et souriant, un réel atout pour rendre notre séjour parfait. Merci Nelson!"

"Die Kommunikation mit dem dortigen Vermieter Atlantic Holidays per WhatsApp ist grandios. Man wird perfekt über alles informiert. Vom Einchecken (Schlüsselbox) bis zur Abreise. Beste Lage zentral auf Madeira. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen. Mietwagen ist dringend zu empfehlen, man muss aber mutig sein, da die Einfahrt zum Haus sehr steil ist. Besser einweisen lassen. Eine Geschirrspülmaschine fehlt (eigentlich nicht bei der Aussicht beim Abwaschen). Betten sind...

"We had a brilliant week staying in this beautiful house. House was lovely and well eqipped, lovely views. We had a good small hire car, which you will need to access this house. The road to the property is very steep and narrow. This may could be a challenge for the faint hearted, however house owner will send you a detailed video near the time of your stay. Excellent communication with Carlis the owner, and we would stay there again."

"We spend here for two weeks and it was so wonderful. The place was exactly like in pictures and the view was almost more beautiful. It was nice and quiet and everyone was so helpful. We didn't have car, so needed good shoes for hiking, but the bus goes also quite near and quite often."

"Endroit merveilleux . rien à dire , tout était PARFAIT"

"Madeira is beautiful wherever you go but if you want quiet with less crowds and less neighbors this is the place to stay. It had all the amenities we could ever need and a beautiful yard to draw or read. This is the opposite of a big city life and offers a true getaway from the rise and grind of the everyday hustle."

"Great location, fun house with everything you need, friendly owner"

"We've never stayed in such a beautiful place. Since the first day we called it home and felt totally comfortable. The house and garden are made of stones, with a lot of taste and good energy. Most of the material used is recycled and every spot you look there is something beautiful that naturally fits there. There is a huge variety of plants and a gorgeous pond with fish. It is like a botanical garden where you want to just walk around and admire or sit and read a book. The terrace looks over...

5/5 Excellent

"This was the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. The room was spacious and had a beautiful view of the ocean right from the window. When we arrived, the children were greeted with lovely welcome gifts, which made the experience even more special. Breakfast was varied and delicious, with plenty of options to choose from. The outdoor saltwater pool had a very comfortable temperature, and the nearby hot-water Jacuzzi was a perfect place to relax. There’s also a warm indoor pool inside the hotel, ideal for children and great for any weather. If I ever dreamed of coming back to Madeira, it would definitely be to this hotel. It offers a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere"

"We loved staying at Enotel Sunset Bay. Ponta do Sol is a fantastic location on Madeira. The hotel is right in front of the ocean and beach and all rooms have ocean views.We stayed on the 4th floor in the seaview rooms with balcony. The rooms are very spacious, clean and well-equiped. The 4th floor is where the roof top deck is located. It was a great place to soak in some sunshine and relax after a day of hiking. The indoor pool was also a bonus. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with lots of great choices. There is free underground parking, but it is somewhat difficult to get into and can get full. Overall, this is an excellent hotel and I highly recommend."
