A particularly enchanting feature is the upper-floor retreat, a beautifully converted space that opens onto a private rooftop viewpoint. From here, uninterrupted ocean vistas stretch endlessly before you, while Madeira's dramatic mountains rise behind, creating a setting that feels both romantic and utterly unique. Beyond the principal accommodation, the lower ground level introduces an entirely different dimension to the property. Already home to a temperature-controlled wine cellar with bespoke concrete diamond-rack storage, this level also offers exceptional flexibility. Whether imagined as a self-contained guest apartment, wellness studio, gymnasium, home office, creative workspace, or additional accommodation, the possibilities are extensive.
