Porto da Cruz is a parish in the municipality of Machico and, due to its proximity to the coast, enjoys a microclimate that ensures mild temperatures year-round, reaching around 26°C in the summer. There is a strong connection to viticulture, sugarcane, and bananas in the area. It is surrounded by a stunning forest, part of the Laurissilva, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. A landmark of the locality is the Penha D’Águia, an imposing rock formation that serves as a boundary marker between Machico and Santana.

The property is within a 5-minute walking distance to the beach and the Porto da Cruz seafront promenade and ocean pool, where one can enjoy incredible views of the hillside and the ocean. Along the promenade, there is the Alagoa beach, next to Penha D’Águia, with its black sand, known as a hotspot for surfing and bodyboarding, as well as the Maiata beach a little further along. It is also a 5-minute walking distance to the Engenho do Norte, an industrial architectural building from the early 20th century, considered a municipal interest property. It is the only functioning steam-powered sugarcane mill in Europe that produces aguardente/rum from sugarcane, the base ingredient of the famous Madeira ’poncha’ drink. The property is a 15-minute drive from the center of Machico, 30 minutes from Santo da Serra Golf Club, 20 minutes from Madeira International Airport, and 40 minutes from the center of Funchal.
