A haven by the sea, Casa da Rocha de Baixo | Cottage in Santana
2 Bedroom Cottage in Sao Jorge, Santana
Located in a completely isolated area just a few meters from the beach, this single-story wooden house is perfectly restored—ideal for those seeking total rest as a family or as a couple. The surroundings are paradisiacal, making it the perfect choice to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, listen to the sea, and stargaze at night.
The house features an open-space layout, abundant natural light, and a clean, minimalist décor. It has 2 bedrooms (1 double bed and 2 single beds) and 1 bathroom with shower, accommodating up to 4 people. Outside, enjoy a pleasant leisure area, portable barbecue, and dining space. Set between the green of the mountain and the blue of the sea, the property offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, conveying calm and peace.
There is no cell phone reception, only internet, which can be unstable and is not ideal for work. Due to the exotic location, cliffs on the north slope block sun exposure from October 15 to February 15.
Parking is available outside the property.
We would like to draw particular attention to the location, which is quite remote, to the choice of vehicle—which must be powerful enough to handle the uphill sections—and to driving skills, which must be excellent, as the road there is winding.
AREA
The house is located on the north coast of Madeira Island, in São Jorge, a parish in the municipality of Santana. Being located in a secluded area by the sea, it is a 14-minute drive from the center of São Jorge (where you can find a mini market) and 16 minutes from the center of Arco de São Jorge, a neighboring parish where you can visit the Wine and Vine Museum.
The closest bar to the house is a 10-minute drive away. The historical center of the municipality of Santana is a 24-minute drive away. There you can find a supermarket, several bars and restaurants. Take the opportunity to visit the Typical Houses of Santana, the Rocha do Navio Cable Car and the Madeira Theme Park.
Contemplate the views over the northern coast of the island by visiting the belvederes closest to the house. In São Jorge you will find sights such as Miradouro da Vigia, Ruínas de São Jorge, and Ponta de São Jorge. In the next parish, near the center of Arco de São Jorge you will find the Miradouro do Arco de São Jorge and the Miradouro do Cabo Aéreo. Both are about 25 minutes by car from Casa da Rocha. Closer you will find the Miradouro das Cabanas viewpoint, a 14-minute drive away.
To reach the beginning of the trail closest to the house, Levada do Rei, you will drive 4.6 km for about 12 minutes.
