Sao Vicente holidays

Fun in Funchal 

Madeira’s capital, Funchal, might be at the opposite end of the island, but it’s still less than 35km away. Head here for colourful markets, blissful gardens and mesmerising ancient architecture. It’s a city of nature, history and enchanting art all rolled into one. 

Swing by Santana on your Madeira holiday

Madeira’s answer to the chocolate-box Cotswolds, the village of Santana is charming and then some. It’s the handful of iconic A-frame houses that pull in the crowds – traditional triangular huts with thatched roofs and white, red and blue facades. Some have little shops inside too!
