Located in a completely isolated area, a few meters away from the beach, this single-story wooden house is perfectly restored. Ideal for those seeking total rest as a family or as a couple. All the surroundings of the house are paradisiacal, being therefore the perfect choice to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, just listen to the sea and see stars at night.
This house stands out for its "open space" characteristics, for privileging the natural light inside, for its "clean" and minimalist decoration. With 2 bedrooms (1 double bed and 2 single beds) and 1 bathroom with shower, this house has capacity for a maximum of 4 people. Outside, there is a very pleasant leisure area, a portable barbecue and a dining area. Set between the green of the mountain and the blue of the sea, this property has a sweeping view of the Atlantic Ocean that conveys a sense of calm and peace.
There is no cell phone reception, only internet. However, the internet signal is sometimes unstable, so it is not ideal for work. Due to the exotic location of the house, the cliffs on the north slope block the sun exposure from October 15 to February 15.
The house has parking on the outside of the property.
AREA The house is located on the north coast of Madeira Island, in São Jorge, a parish in the municipality of Santana. Being located in a secluded area by the sea, it is a 14-minute drive from the center of São Jorge (where you can find a mini market) and 16 minutes from the center of Arco de São Jorge, a neighboring parish where you can visit the Wine and Vine Museum. The closest bar to the house is a 10-minute drive away. The historical center of the municipality of Santana is a 24-minute drive away. There you can find a supermarket, several bars and restaurants. Take the opportunity to visit the Typical Houses of Santana, the Rocha do Navio Cable Car and the Madeira Theme Park.
Contemplate the views over the northern coast of the island by visiting the belvederes closest to the house. In São Jorge you will find sights such as Miradouro da Vigia, Ruínas de São Jorge, and Ponta de São Jorge. In the next parish, near the center of Arco de São Jorge you will find the Miradouro do Arco de São Jorge and the Miradouro do Cabo Aéreo. Both are about 25 minutes by car from Casa da Rocha. Closer you will find the Miradouro das Cabanas viewpoint, a 14-minute drive away. To reach the beginning of the trail closest to the house, Levada do Rei, you will drive 4.6 km for about 12 minutes.
The city of Funchal is about 1 hour away by car.
HOW TO GET TO The best option to get to the house is to rent a car, which can also be useful if you want to go to the main tourist attractions in this area. Special attention should be paid to the location, which is quite isolated, to the choice of vehicle, which should have good power for the climbs, and to the driving skills, which should be excellent, because the road there is winding.

very disappointing and stressful experience.
We initially really liked this holiday house, especially because of its beautiful location right by the sea. Unfortunately, our experience quickly turned negative. As soon as it rained, water started leaking heavily from three different spots in the ceiling – within one night, we filled 2–3 glasses just from the dripping water.
There was also a strong musty, moldy smell throughout the house. The bathroom was much smaller than expected and not shown in any photos, which felt misleading.
The biggest issue, however, was the location and access. The road to the house is extremely steep and dangerous. Due to bad weather, a storm caused a landslide, and we were effectively trapped, unable to leave. We had to coordinate with the fire brigade and civil protection services to get out safely.
Given the safety concerns, we tried to arrange alternative accommodation, but the hosts showed no understanding or support. There was no compensation offered – neither a replacement stay nor even a partial refund, despite the serious issues.
Overall, very disappointing and stressful experience.
Alissa S.
Respuesta de VrboOwner el 6 de abr de 2026
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the inconvenience caused during your stay. The situation you describe, especially regarding the weather conditions and access, is understandably stressful.
As mentioned in the property description, the house is located in a very isolated area. Unfortunately, during periods of bad weather, conditions can change quickly, and events such as landslides may occur.
Please note that damages or road closures caused by weather conditions are outside of our control and fall beyond our management. This is a risk inherent to such remote locations, as mentioned in the listing.
We regret the issues with the property and that your experience did not meet expectations.

If you like to stay far away from the crowd, book this beautiful house. The only noise you hear are the waves of the ocean. Beautiful spot. Nice house with all you need. Well equiped kitchen. Nice living room and terrace. Small and simple bathroom.

Wonderful place
We have really enjoyed this beautiful place and house en oceanview. This was very peaceful in spite of or thanks to the noise of the Ocean.
The only thing we didn’t like was the early mail of the check-out at half of the week!
That’s not our responsibility and we are just enjoying our holiday .

Aspectos positivos: Servicios
Aspectos negativos: Comunicación
Wunderbare Hütte am Meer. Sehr gemütlich mit 3 Betten, Sofa, Sessel, Grill, Outdoor Stühlen und Terrasse. Kleine gut ausgestatte Küche mit allen nötigen Geräten. Sehr steile Anfahrt und keine Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im Dorf. Leider hatten wir schlechten Internet Empfang und konnten die Bratpfannen nicht nutzen. Das Bad ist leider bisschen eng und es fehlen jegliche Halterungen für Badetücher und Klopapier. Der Preis ist bisschen hoch aber die exklusive Lage rechtfertigt dies. Die Kommunikation mit An Island Apart per Email war bisschen mühsam. Unbedingt die Katzen lieb haben.

Perfect
Amazing location, defo recommend as it was just a whole vibe staying there. 10/10 for ages 18+ however would say for older people or young families.
Very remote (no signal) but a decent wifi connection, occasionally dropped out but we maybe had 9 devices on it at once.
Cannot fault the property in terms of location, 10 min drive to get back to a main road and was access to a super market.
Lots of cats on the property, we counted 5 and it the doors were left open they happily would walk in so just soemthing to be aware of!
