Porto Santo apartment rental details
Apartment Pedras Pretas
Situated 1500 m from tour, 300m from the beach, the comfortable furnished apartment has one bed-room, living-room with TV, radio, dining-room, kitchen (fully equipped), 3 private varandas, hall, double sleeping-couch, 2 bathrooms, outside showers. Quiet area, view to sea and mountains.
The island lies 37 km (23 miles) to the Northeast of Madeira. On a clear day the islands can see each other in the horizon. A 9km (6 mile) stretch of natural sandy beach is the main attraction, but the sleepy village and tranquil lifestyle is also the reason why visitors who discover Porto Santo keep coming back.
The History
Porto Santo was officially discovered back in 1418 by João Gonçalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira, who were exploring the coast of Guinea for Prince Henry the navigator when a violent storm blew them off course. They were swept onto the sandy shores of an island which they named in gratitude Porto Santo (safe port).
Bartolomeu Perestrelo, an astute Italian joined them on their second journey, stayed at Porto Santo and became Governor of the island. Christopher Columbus came to Porto Santo in 1478 probably to see Perestrelo, also from Genoa. Columbus met his daughter Filipa Moniz and the two were married in 1479, but Filipa died soon after while giving birth to their son.
Natural Beauty
The water is limpid and clear, and natural marine landscape and wildlife remain untouched.
Porto Santo’s beach is renown for the therapeutic properties of its sand, there is a special resort on the island that applies this sand in its treatments. If its peace of mind and relaxation you require the blue waters and calm inhabitants of Porto Santo are sure to give you just that.
Play time! Water sports naturally feature high on the island’s activities. Diving, swimming, sailing, jet ski, canoeing, water-ski, fishing and a whole range of other features are explored to the limits in these crystal clear waters.
A forest reserve has been created in Porto Santo to fight earth erosion, with millions of trees planted. Already a large cloak of green can be see spreading across Pico do Facho, Gandaia, Sítios dos Morenos and Serra de Dentro.
Walking is a special treat and rare natural pleasure here. Silence and rough landscape surround walkers as they meet cows and goats grazing on the hill with a view to the sea. You can also take unexpected riding walks along the hills.

Porto Santo apartment rental reviews
Marilyn says: "This apartment is really lovely but the reason it does not score excellent is quite simply the bed mattresses. Every single person in the comments book at the property mentioned it and whilst we like a firm mattress, we simply could not get a decent nights sleep - which I think is an important part of a holiday break. I actually think the mattresses are unacceptable and wonder if you would consider taking this lovely property off your site unless/until it is brought up to standard. The three terraces are lovely, apartment is very well equipped. However, because it is so quiet in that area, noise does travel quite a lot so you can hear the tv/talking of the people below. It is directly on the flight path but with a maximum of 5 flights per day, this was more of an excitement than an disturbance. Finally the owners do need to provide proper directions to the property, especially for those who hire a car."
