Overview

Relax with family and friends on our Casa do Julio Madeira Villa Holiday.

With its sea view infinity pool, 360⁰ panoramic views and spacious layout, Casa do Julio is the perfect four-bedroom villa for reconnecting with family and friends this summer.

Your holiday begins with a private transfer from Funchal airport, via the cliffs and bays of the island’s magnificent south coast, to the peaceful harbour town of Calheta. It’s a short walk from your villa to the nearby marina with its friendly cafe bars and restaurants, and Calheta is well-known and well-loved for its warm, sunny micro-climate: the perfect, sheltered spot for a swim in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

We can arrange dinner reservations at one of our favourite local restaurants for your first evening, or our driver will help you to shop for supplies enroute from the airport. Your hire car will be delivered the following day and you can begin to explore Madeira’s legendary beauty. We’ve also included a whale and dolphin watching excursion from the capital Funchal, and a private day with our resident canyoning guides, exploring the remote forests of northern Madeira.

Direct flights are included in our Madeira Villa Holidays. We remove the stress from booking flights by finding you the best deal from your closest airport. We include all the luggage you’ll need so there are no nasty surprises or extras to pay at the airport, and we’ll select the best available seats for you in advance.

Itinerary

You’ll begin your holiday flying direct from the UK to Madeira. You’ll be collected on arrival in Funchal by our driver for your transfer to Casa do Julio in Ponta do Sol.
We’ll deliver your hire car and it’s a short drive into the centre of Calheta where you can spend the day at the beach.
You’ll head into the island’s capital Funchal for a three-hour whale and dolphin watching trip. The waters around Madeira are one of the best places to observe bottlenose dolphins and sperm whales. In the afternoon, you can take the cable car up to the Monte Palace Tropical Gardens, returning via the famous Carro de Cesto wicker toboggans which run down the steep streets back into Funchal.
You’ll take a drive into the island’s central mountains, via the summits of Pico do Cedro and Pico da Encumeada, onto the high Paul de Serra plain. At 1500m it's a beautifully-desolate part of the island – it’s also the start point for one of the island most popular way-marked walks: the 25 Fontes trail in Rabacal.
You'll spend today canyoning down the Lomba das Faias, scrambling down a narrow forest gulley and abseiling down cascading waterfalls.
You’ll head north to Porto Moniz, home to the best seawater swimming pools on the island. The famous Casacata Veu da Noiva ‘ Bridal Veil’ waterfall and the cascata da Garganta Funda waterfall (one of the highest waterfalls on the island) are also close by.
For your final full day, you’ll visit one of Madeira’s most magnificent locations: the Curral das Freiras: the isolated Nun’s Valley mountain hideaway.
You'll return your hire car to the airport before flying home.
