Casas Típicas

In the southwest of Madeira you may find on 400 mtrs above sea level some tastefully cared holiday facilities gathering five small homes, a swimming pool and flowering gardens. The constructions of the holiday homes are modelled on the tradtional rural architecture. Thus the name of the facilities means: tipical houses of the island of Madeira. Originally the deeply down inclined roofs of simple farm houses were thatch covered: with Casas Tipicas the tile substituted the thatch. As well in the interior of the holiday homes everything is different.

The five Casas Típicas have each an area of nearly 40 squ.mtrs.The interior decoration is not luxury but light and friendly inspired. A large living room has on one side a kitchenette (2,5 x 2,5 mtrs.) for self-catering ambitions. A cooker with two hot plates, worktop, sink ? and a fridge are the technical condition of a comfortable breakfast or a fish meal in the evening taken on the patio in front of the cosy home. On the other side of the living room is a corner unit (12 squ.mtrs.). A narrow corridor (with wardrobes) leads to the bed room (with double bed) and the bath room with shower.

Casas Típicas are near to the Levada Nova. This water channel you follow to Ribeira Brava (the neighbouring town) about two hours walking. In the other direction you will walk two and a half hours into the wonderful valley of Ponta do Sol. A "minimercado" is nearby the facilities. Extended supermarkets you may find in Ribeira Brava.
