the peak cottage
property description: The Peak Cottage is located at the Pico Alto locality in a small parish named Santa that belongs to the village of Porto Moniz. It's a recent construction that was designed and built from scratch, with architectural strokes of a rustic simplicity and made in a traditional Madeirian style, in order to create a relaxing environment and to provide a pleasant comfort, healthful rest and a self catering accommodation to those who intend to recover the lost energies from the active urban life. accommodation: There is a predominance of wood, brickwork and and some old, traditional tools and objects, once forgotten, in the attics of local people (from our family). For this reason we believe it fits in the rustic tourism category. Built in an open plan, the ground floor combines a living room, a WC, a kitchenette and a traditional fireplace. The upper level consists of a bedroom with a bathroom. The ambient temperature varies between 13º, in the winter, and 27º in the summer. surroundings: You can enjoy landscapes of rare beauty, characteristic of Madeira's Paul da Serra upland/plateau, like the frequent "seas of clouds" (photo above), and others no less spectacular. The village - at seaside is around 7 minutes away from the Peak Cottage, offering several restaurants, a mini-market and few shops. Here, the main attraction is a natural (sea water) swimming pool. location: To arrive at the house, the preferable path is after arriving at Porto Moniz village, to go up until Santa parish, continue in the main road until finding an arrow that says Lamaceiros, which points to the road in orange. After entrying this road in a few moments a wooden arrow wich says Cabana do Pico (Peak Cottage in portuguese) turns visible. Then you must enter in the concrete road pointed by the arrow and a few seconds later, the house is visible. prices: Our prices for 2003 are: 40 Euros per night from October to May and 50 Euros from June to September, for one or two persons. Although the peak cottage is ideally prepared for one or two persons, if the clients want to bring children, we can make exceptions. For this possibility the sofa in the living room can turn itself into a double bed and there are other two sofas that turn into mattresses. However, a supplement of 10 Euros per night must be paid for each children (age between 3 and 15 years old, meaning that if they have less than 3 no supplement is to be paid). For stays higher than one week there's a discount of 5 Euros per night contact details: Tel: +351 291 748 222 Fax: +351 962 906 146 eMail: peakcottage@bigfoot.com
