Sofia's Place surroundings

View over the bay (West)

Sofia's Place stands on the top and center part of the tranquil and romantic village of cobbled footpaths at the foot of breathtaking cliffs. It is located on the sunny southwest part of Madeira, facing shore.

A car park at the edge of the village leaves the square and the urban area largely free of cars. People walk easily home and have no traffic noise.

There is also a seafront pedestrian walk zone (promenade) lined with palm trees, also free of traffic. There you can also watch the waves, surfing, read or ride your bike.

In the Eastern point of the village there is Portinho with a little harbor and a clean pebble beach, for swimming and snorkeling, a shower and beach bar.

In the Western point you can find two more beaches: Vigia and further away the exotic and more exclusive harbor called Enseada. At the far end you can see the next village on the picture above: Paul do Mar.
