Inside, the Recanto da Princesa reveals itself as a true urban oasis, with generous and luminous areas, tastefully decorated and designed to provide a practical and pleasant stay.
The apartment has three bedrooms, two of them with private bathrooms, making it ideal for families or groups of friends who want to experience the city as true locals. The kitchen and living room, in an open-space concept, are fully equipped and surrounded by natural light, offering a harmonious environment to relax, cook or simply share moments together.
The location is unbeatable: just a few steps away from a variety of restaurants, cafés, bars and pubs, whilst maintaining the calm and privacy you’d expect from a home away from home. The building features a lift and private parking, ideal for those who hire a car and wish to explore every corner of the island with freedom and comfort.
Princess’s Retreat is also the perfect starting point for discovering Madeira. Within a few minutes’ drive, you can visit the romantic Monte area, the picturesque village of Câmara de Lobos or the impressive viewpoint of Cabo Girão, Europe’s highest cliff and the world’s second largest.
Following the Fast Lane, the island opens up before you: from the natural pools of Porto Moniz to the stunning beaches of Seixal, or even to the typical and charming houses of Santana. In just 20 minutes, you can reach Ponta do Sol, the perfect place to contemplate an unforgettable sunset after a day of trails and adventure.
The Princess’s Retreat is not just an accommodation. It is an invitation to slow down, breathe and explore Madeira from end to end, in a space that combines comfort, location and charm in a unique way. Here, every moment of your stay is made to be lived and remembered.
