Description from manager
Description
Quinta Girassol is a beautiful restored old quinta, with large gardens, heated swimming pool and direct sea-view, tucked into the hillside above the south coast village of Ponta do Sol, known as one of the sunniest places on the island. It is without doubt the perfect holiday retreat and gives you the beauty and tranquillity of the Madeiran countryside, yet only a 25 minute drive to the hustle and bustle of the capital, Funchal.
Entrance is via a large covered hacienda with dining table and chairs for dining al-fresco, and comfy wicker chairs for relaxing with a glass of wine. On the ground floor you have the traditionally furnished lounge with comfortable sofa, armchairs, plasma TV and DVD player. The well-equipped kitchen with adjoining dining area opens directly onto the front terrace.
Upstairs are the three bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, two of which have French windows opening out to a large balcony and stunning ocean views. The third bedroom overlooks the large garden and shares the family bathroom.
The heated freeform swimming pool occupies the south facing sun terrace with sea-views.
Surrounding the pool terrace and to the side of Quinta Girassol are large mature gardens with lawns and trees. Through them runs a real working typical Madeira levada (irrigation channel).

Length: 9m

Please note that pool heating should be requested at least one week prior to arrival to ensure the correct water temperature; if requested at the last minute or after arrival, the minimum amount is the price for one week, due from the time pool heating is turned on.
The town of Ponta do Sol at sea level, 5 minutes by car (2,9 Km) away, is known for its offers additional restaurants and cafés (and three small hotels), as well as a couple of trendy bars. Before reaching the town, you will find, on the roundabout that provides access to the motorway network, a small shopping centre with a row of shops and cafés and the nearest supermarket. Ponta do Sol is known as the sunniest place in Madeira, and the whole town front is a rocky beach with access to the sea.
The capital, Funchal, is an easy 25 minute drive away on the motorway.
There are walks around the hills of Ponta do Sol and easy access to the plateau of Paul da Serra, with its many levada walks, makes this villa perfectly located for walking in Madeira and for enjoying a lovely holiday surrounded by the beautiful Madeira countryside.

Response from the manager Thank you for your comments. On a positive note, we are very pleased that overall, you were very happy with Quinta Girassol and that the style of the house and location were to your liking. The cracked mugs should have been removed and replaced and certainly we have taken on board your comment about the toilet seat, and we will mention this to the owner. One very important point to clarify, especially for any people looking to book in the future, the whirlpool does not work, it hasn’t for many years and for that reason WE DO NOT ADVERTISE one, either on this channel or any other booking channels. You did indeed pay for pool heating to 24 degrees, and I can confirm that during your stay the swimming pool water reached a temperature of 26 degrees. We thank you once again for your comments.
