The Peak Cottage is located at the Pico Alto locality in a small parish named Santa that belongs to the village of Porto Moniz. It's a recent construction that was designed and built from scratch, with architectural strokes of a rustic simplicity and made in a traditional Madeirian style, in order to create a relaxing environment and to provide a pleasant comfort, healthful rest and a self catering accommodation to those who intend to recover the lost energies from the active urban life.
There is a predominance of wood, brickwork and some old, traditional tools and objects, once forgotten, in the attics of local people (from our family). For this reason it fits in the rustic tourism category.
Built in an open plan, the ground floor combines a living room, a WC, a kitchenette and a traditional fireplace. The upper level consists of a bedroom with a bathroom. Click here to see more photos of the cottage. The ambient temperature varies between 13º, in the winter, and 27º in the summer.
The house is isolated in the middle of the forest, with the nearest neighbours three minutes away (on foot). Ten minutes away (also on foot) you can find a local supermarket and also a restaurant if you don't intend to use our facilities to cook.
