Mountain Cottage - Away from it all!

Achadinha is a typical Madeiran house, built with local basaltic stones, with two stories. It is a simple and genuine haven in the mountains, for those looking for a peaceful escape away from the stressful city life, at one step from Madeiran Laurissilva forest (World Heritage by UNESCO), Rabaçal and the famous 25 Fontes and Risco levada walks. We want you to feel confortable, just like at home!
