Port of Funchal

Madeira is an island 800km west of the city Casablanca in Marocco and 1000km south-west of Lisbon. The location of the island within the mild waters of the gulf-stream guarantees water temperatures – depending of the season – between 17°C and 24°C.
This fact and the geographical location of 32°N give the island a very agreeable climate with not too hot summers and moderate winter temperatures.
The subtropical flora and the spectacular vulcanic landscape with peaks nearly 2000m high make Madeira a unique beauty of nature. Some areas with its endemic flora belong to the UNESCO natur-world-heritage.

Villa Opuntia is situated on a south-facing slope at the edge of the  cottage area of Lower-Caniço.
The view to the Atlantic ocean is beautiful and the dead-end road gives this calm area an even more peaceful character.
The next Lido is just a 10 minute walk away and one can reach Funchal after a 15 minutes drive.

The motor-way, that links Ponta São Lorenço in the east far to the village Prazeres in the west, connects Lower Caniço easily to other parts of the island.
