Visit the historic town of Machico on Madeira for a fascinating stay. You’ll find the oldest church on the island, the Capela dos Milagres here, as well as the 16th century chapel of São Roque and two forts. When you’re not busy exploring the sites, head to the beach to sunbathe and swim or go for a stroll along the banks of the river. Spend time on the fishing harbour to see the fishermen haul in tuna and gaiado, which you can feast on in the restaurants with a glass of the local wine to wash it down.
Renting holiday apartments in Machico
Choose apartments in Machico for your trip to Madeira rather than hotels and you’ll find you get a much more authentic experience. This is because Machico apartments are often located amongst local communities, and are furnished in a traditional style, so you can get an idea of how the locals live. Self-catering holiday accommodation also gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the cuisine of the place by buying fresh ingredients and trying your hand at making regional specialities in your very own kitchen. If this sounds like bliss to you (and why wouldn’t it!) then take a look at the holiday rentals available through HouseTrip and book the one that most takes your fancy.
