| Location |
| The property is located a few minutes' drive from the town of Santa Cruz, and at an altitude of 250 meters above sea level.
The town of Santa Cruz has benefited greatly from the recent infrastructure developments, especially as regards sea access and leisure activities. A long sea-side promenade extending across the entire front of the town affords pleasant strolls with the sound of the waves for company. The beach allows for direct sea access, and a small port provides anchorage for leisure craft. The new yacht club development will offer diving, sailing and other water sports, to add to the world-class 'aqua-park' already in operation.
Besides the full complement of shops, banks, restaurants and other services already available, the new four-star Vila Galé resort hotel has brought a spa to the town, as well as new restaurants and the usual resort facilities.
The motorway provides easy access to Funchal (15 min.), the airport (5 min.) and Santo da Serra (10 min.) with its fabulous 27-hole golf course. |
