We are GuestReady, a property management company, and we want to ensure that your stay is as smooth and comfortable as possible. We are available 24/7 to provide assistance during your stay. Please note that this is a private property, so we kindly ask that you take care of it as if it were your own.
Located on one of the sunniest and most welcoming hillsides of Caniço, this accommodation is the perfect base for exploring the island of Madeira. The neighbourhood offers an atmosphere of pure tranquillity — the ideal residential retreat for those looking to relax and slow down, away from urban hustle, yet with supermarkets, bakeries and services just a short distance away. Here, you wake up to the harmony of peaceful island life, always surrounded by nature.
Just minutes from home, Caniço offers unmissable attractions. A highlight is the iconic Cristo Rei do Garajau viewpoint, which provides unforgettable sunsets and direct access (via a picturesque cable car) to the Garajau Natural Reserve — a true sanctuary of crystal-clear waters, ideal for diving and snorkelling. You can also head to the lively Praia dos Reis Magos, the perfect spot for a refreshing swim and to try fresh limpets and fish at the seafront terraces.
Despite this serene retreat atmosphere, the location is incredibly strategic. The cosmopolitan city of Funchal is just 10 to 15 minutes away by car, thanks to easy access to the expressway (VR1). This allows you to enjoy the best of the capital whenever you wish: stroll through the colourful Mercado dos Lavradores, soak up the art and gastronomy of the Zona Velha, and don't miss the iconic cable car ride up to the lush gardens of Monte.
This address also serves as an excellent starting point for exploring the neighbouring towns of the eastern zone. The town of Santa Cruz, with its pleasant coastal promenade, is a short trip away. A little further on, you'll discover the historic town of Machico — the site of the island's first landing — famous for its picturesque bay and one of Madeira's rare golden sandy beaches.
The property is easily accessible by car.
Caniço is well served by public transport. The 113 bus line (operated by Horários do Funchal) connects Caniço to Funchal, with regular stops throughout the village. The journey to Funchal city centre takes approximately 30 minutes.
Madeira International Airport is just 10–15 minutes away by car, making arrivals and departures very convenient.
This is a property with automatic check-in and you will be asked to verify your identity before being able to check in to the apartment (15:00).
We ask all guests to fill in a registration form that will be sent after the booking confirmation, which is in accordance with the legal obligations stipulated by the local authorities in Portugal.
