Offering a garden and sea view, Encanto do Sol is set in Ponta do Sol, 500 metres from Ponta do Sol Beach and 1.7 km from Lugar de Baixo Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a patio. The guest house offers a picnic area, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Perfect location to base in order to visit the entire island. Beautiful, updated, large apartment. Excellent view. Excellent host. Quiet. Everything you need to cook and wash clothing. The host went out of her way by meeting us at a gas station off of the main road to guide us to the apartment. We wish other hosts would have done that during our visits to other places in Portugal. Not a difficult location to find but having someone lead you in and tell you where to park (when you are getting in near midnight) is truly going above and beyond to make things as easy as possible for guests.

All units are equipped with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while selected rooms are fitted with a terrace and some have city views. At the homestay, the units come with bed linen and towels.

The communication with the host was pleasant and uncomplicated! I loved the property, it has not only a great location, but also is very modern. The kitchen, living and dining room and terrace are large enough for all the guests in the house to have their own space. My "Deluxe double room with balcony (no. 5) was spacious and had a balcony, which is shared with the neighbouring room. This was not a problem for me. Highlight: The sunrise, priceless view from this adorable place. I can only recommend staying here!

    host is amazing, very friendly, gave just tone of useful recommendations. East to get place, you need to park outside on the road, as locals do. rooms and bathrooms super clean and astonishing amazing view. we had some barbecue with fish and while we had dinner neighbors played music, so it was just amazing vibe.

    Everything was wonderful. Catia met us and helped with parking, showed the house and made us feel as at home. The house has a charming garden with great view and places for the rest and breakfast, everything was fresh and clean and made for your comfortable staying. Catia is great host and her house is the place where you want to return as soon as possible.

    We couldn't find the house. But the lovely Host went to pick us up. And had such a great welcome. Tasty treats from Madeira, fruit, wine, cookies. We had a amazing breakfast on the balcony, My favourite places. The room is bigger than it looks on the pictures. Very clean. The kitchen has everything you need and more! The WiFi network works perfectly, you even have a little cute living room. The scenery is breathtaking! Definitely coming back when we go to Madeira!

    Really great, lovely hosts. Amazing location and an unearthly beautiful view. A very cosy place to stay, equipped with everything you might need. There is a really nice garden and a small, clean swimming pool. There is also a local shop/cafe/bar within a 5-minute walk. I totally recommend this place!
