| Location |
| Garajau is located to the east of Funchal, and is one of the most sought-after residential areas outside of Funchal itself. Its proximity to the capital (10 min. drive), the airport (10 min. drive) and easy access to the motorway contribute to its status as a prime residential area with a wide range of property types, ranging from small apartments to the biggest villas and estates. Two golf courses are also within easy and quick access.
The area offers a wide variety of services and commodities, including restaurants, pubs, supermarkets, a bakery, small shops and other services. Caniço is a few minutes' drive away, where the village square, with its new shopping centre, offers an even wider variety of shops, supermarkets, dry cleaners, banks, post office, medical centre, etc. |
| The Property |
Built in a rustic modern style, this villa is the result of a complete renovation and refurbishment of one of the first villas which, 30 years ago, started the Garajau Residential Area. As is typical with many of the sea-facing properties in this area, the house has its ground floor at street level, and then has its other floors below this, creating what we call (-1) and (-2) levels.
The property has a well established garden set on gentle sub-levels, with beautiful indigenous plants, trees and shrubs. A pool was built on the most private part of the garden, complemented by a covered barbecue and kitchenette.
It is fully south facing, and enjoys magnificent exposure to sunshine and amazing sea views. The pool and barbecue area offers total privacy and makes an ideal leisure area.
