Holiday destination
Prazeres itself is relatively flat, however, the mountainous region in the north offers ideal hiking options.
The area is dotted with farms and exudes a cosy, pleasant ambience. There are several good restaurants. You will find the well-known friendly Portuguese hospitality and openness is alive and well in this small village. Many pretty flower gardens invite you to take a stroll about the village.
There is a little zoo next to the church, and a herb garden with a tea and coffee bar (Quinta Pedagogica).
A 5-minute walk away there's a farmer's market (Mercado dos Agricultores) that's open all day long on Sundays. There you will find regional specialities at very good prices.
The yellow sandy beach of Calheta is 6 minutes away by car, where you can swim comfortably all year round.
Getting there
About 50 - 60 minutes away from Funchal Airport (Madeira Airport), you first drive to the end of the motorway (Via Rapida) to Ribeira Brava.
Then follow the signs for Calheta or Prazeres. At the roundabout in Prazeres, take the first exit (BP petrol station), then continue to the next crossroads and turn left. After about 50 metres, park in the lay-by (road sign "Caminho do Serrado").
From there, follow the concrete road past 3 houses.
After 70 metres, on your right, you will see the "Casa Plantinha", house no. 15. In the background, you will already see the Casa Louro. At the end of the paved path, follow the path that leads you directly to Casa Louro (house no. 15A). Welcome!

Solide gebautes Haus, viel Komfort, gut funktionierende Klimaanlage, sehr großes Schlafzimmer. Die Küchenausstattung ist gut, ich würde nur eine Microwelle zum Zubereiten von Kartoffeln vermissen. Die Terrasse ist sehr groß mit schönem Blick auf das Meer. Da es in der letzten Zeit wenig geregnet hat, fällt viel Laub an, das man eben selbst zusammenfegt, so gesehen eine Kleinigkeit. Viel Ruhe sorgt für einen unbeschwerten Urlaub, würde gern wiederkommen.

Wir hatten in der Casa Louro eine wundervolle Zeit. Das kleine Häuschen war geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Wohnküche war praktisch und zweckmäßig sowie mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet. Während der seltenen Niederschlagsereignisse war der Wintergarten ein angenehmer Aufenthaltsort. Unsere lieben Gastgeber waren sehr hilfsbereit und jederzeit mit Rat und Hinweis zur Stelle. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
